    Eating my way through Oslo

    22/09/2018
    by

    It’s time for another small Oslo eating guide. As mentioned I had almost a full week in Oslo this time, so there was much more time to explore the city.

    I went to eat my favourite (fast food) Kebab, again. The kebab sauce/ dressing is the magic ingredient. Eating in Oslo is so much fun. Pizzas on every corner, amazing foreign foods. There is so much foreign influence in the food culture in Oslo. I always get lost at the import supermarkets. The fruit selection is to die for. 

    I also think I have found one of Oslo’s best burgers. Oslo really knows how to make good burgers! And the craft beer scene is happening.  Oslo during summer time is perfect for food exploration and shopping. You can reach pretty much everywhere by foot.  Just bring some good walking shoes. I also got to experience some of the local Oslo summer scene and went to Nesoddtangen to visit my cousin and boyfriend. They took us on a fun, – and something that felt like a typical Norwegian boat trip.

     

    MUST EATS IN OSLO.

     

    1. Bislett Kebab, they have several branches scattered around Oslo. I love the garlic and kebab sauce and the (large) size of the Kebab. Make sure to be hungry when you come here. Also, if you want the jalapeno you usually have ask for it. You can also buy the dressing to bring home.

      Drools. Not for anyone on a diet, hehe.

    2. Fiasko burger, perfectly medium cooked juicy patties. Extremely satisfying. If you love spicy, the ‘Hot Green Monster’ was enjoyable to say at least. They make their own chili mix and it’s fresh!  There’s also a good selection of craft beers and the restaurant/bar is located right in the center of Oslo. Need I say more?

      Oh my god… it was so juicy! Pair it with the Parmesan fries. YUM.

    3. Ice crime, I’m not an ice cream girl, but this place is quite unique. The flavors are not your usual ice cream flavours and they even have a brown cheese flavour that you have to try. Staff is great and let you try until you decide. Trust me, it’s gonna take a while. My recommendation is the ice cream sandwich as I’m a chocolate chip cookie fan. Perfect compo of soft and crispy.

      Guilty pleasure

    4. Istanbul Kebab in Grünerløkka had amazing authentic Turkish food. Though I have never been in Turkey, this is what I imagine it would be like. So many exiting flavours and great variation. I went for the Iskender kebab. Portions are quite big, so come hungry or share some dishes. This way you can try as much as possible too! It was messy. I was hungry. Which means no pix.
    5. RØØR, fun shuttleboard area upstairs, but the gem is downstairs in the bar… where they have 71 craft beers on tap. Great atmosphere and definitely a great place to have fun.

      What to choose?

    6. Pappas pizza, for this place, you’ll need to jump on a boat to Nesoddtangen from Aker Brygge. It’s worth it, and for the summer months, a boat trip is a must so this a good reason to go. The pizzas are perfectly baked with a creative selections of topping such as goat cheese, pomegranate, pecan nuts and all your usual favourites.

      Crispy and spicy!

      7. Heimatt Løkka. A typical Norwegian breakfast/lunch place using all the best ingredients from Tine. Tine is one of the main dairy brands in Norway making some of the best cheese, butter, yogurt, milk- you name it.  Everything was fresh and very picturesque. Heimatt is located in Grünerløkka and was supposed to only be a pop-up collaboration between Tine and Ikea. Yes, you heard me right. All the furniture is from Ikea! But… luckily for us, it seems like it’s here to stay.

    Flying high with dinner in the Sky, Bangkok

    Most of you might have noticed the giant crane lurking in the construction site in Sukhumvit soi 22. You might also have seen that table flying in the sky during night time. That’s Dinner In The Sky Bangkok. A concept starting in Belgium in 2006 and has successfully spread over 40 countries. I’ve always wanted to go, so I was quite excited when they decided to choose Bangkok as their next location. I was even happier when Tom surprised me with seats for Christmas!

    Getting ready to go up! Remember to order your drinks before going up. Mmmm… the bottle of red was outstanding!

    Borrowed from Dinner In The Sky Bangkok Facebook page.

    It’s quite an unique experience. You are pretty much dining floating in the air, seated in racing car seats with seat belts under and over you. There’s some loss of mobility whilst eating, but you are still able to enjoy your meal. Also, the view you get in return is worth it. I would rather wear those belts than ascending 50 meters up in the sky without them. At first there are butterflies in the stomach, and holding your phone to take photos makes your palms sweaty, but it doesn’t take long before you settle in and get comfortable. There are no floors by the way!

    Try to get these corner seats- definitely the best view you can have, looking both directions!

    If this doesn’t require a selfie than I don’t know!

    The food was surprisingly delicious. I was catered by Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit. Tom had the lamb and I had ribs- perfectly slow cooked ribs that is. The starters were just ok, beef carpaccio salad followed by gazpacho. Though it seemed like the rest of the passengers loved it, so don’t take my word for it. I’ve never been a cold soup person! The dessert was a fruity passion fruit cheese cake with matcha ice cream and berries.  I was already full by that time, but it was delcious.


    We had seat number 14 and 15 and got an unblocked view of the city and the park in the background. I would recommend you to come early to choose your own seats, as the corner seats are definitely the best view point. For a better view you can also recline your seats laying down after your meal- I dare you!

    Book your seats here. They are running out and are only here until February.

    Best newcomer on the block: Ciao Pizza

    I think I’ve found the best pizza in Bangkok…We did a little shoot for booking.com at the end of last and encountered Ciao Pizza. The pizza is amazing, not to mention all the other flavourful Italian food they have on the menu. I can go as far as saying this is my new favourite pizza here, and I’ve tried pretty much all of them. The burrata cheese with cured ham and rocket salad was something totally different from what you get when you usually order the Serrano ham pizza. The crust is thin and crispy but the cheese keeps it soft in every bite. The mixture of flavours makes it perfect. It’s so tasty!

    They also serve some delicious desserts. We had the Panacotta with raspberry. It’s served with those cracking things you had with your lollipop as a kid. So fun!

    We also tried their salads and homemade pasta with meatballs, and it was no less. I like how they have the similar things as other Italian restaurants but their way of making it is unique.

    So, now you now where to go for dinner today, don’t miss out Xx

    Meat galore at Crying Thaiger

    Shoutout to one of the best meat experiences in Bangkok. We already know that Daniel Thaiger serves the best burgers in Bangkok if you take the price in to consideration. It’s always been simple, juicy and delicious. But this time, at their new restaurant Crying Thaiger– they’ve become even more creative-making burgers like mac & cheese burger, larb burger, lamb burger ++ I obviously went for the mac & cheese burger…It was soo good, super soft, and easy to bite into! The lamb chops served with jim jaew was no less. Next time, I’m going for the tomahawk. I wanted to get one last time I went, but you have to book a day in advance.

    An amazing creation, it started off as a fun experiment but it blew peoples mind and has been on the menu since.

    Mac & Cheese burger with truffle fries… this must be AT LEAST 1000 kcal of yummyness.

    There might be some of you that aren’t super into meat and they have great options for you too. The burrata cheese in on point, until now the burrata cheese from Peppina has been high on the list, but I think Crying Thaiger tops it! They also have a simple yet tasteful Caesar salad too. Oh- and one thing you must try! Their Lab fries, they are AMAZING! Super spicy and packed with flavours. I was too full to try out any of the desserts after all the eating, but they do have a nice dessert list too so save some space. Oh, and cocktails!

    A vegan lunch with a twist

    I’m not one for vegan dishes nor vegetarian dishes, but I have heard so many good things about Broccoli Revolution so I just had to go. First of all their interior is perfect for Instagram photos and blogging, which also goes hand in hand with their food presentation. The food is so fresh and you rather forget that you’re not having any meat, let alone that you’re having super healthy dishes. Since there is no meat you are rewarded with a full plate of veggie based ingredients, seeds, quinoa and all the good stuff that you eat way too little of on a day to day basis. The food is put together in a fun way with a little twist that makes it fun to eat. I would definitely recommend you to order the smoothie bowl, broccoli quinoa burger and for Thai food the Khao Kaprao Hed, it’s so tasty!

    Berry bowl, my fave, it was so fresh.

    Now I’m off to a long day at Sampeng Market, we still haven’t gone for our Christmas decoration shopping . We’ve been planning to go for ages now but there’s been so many other sites and things to show our visitors. So far we’ve covered JJ green, Chatuchak weekend market, Khao San Road, cruising along the river and just eating at endless amounts of restaurants. That said, we’ve still managed to kick some ass in the gym, it’s nice having some new but familiar faces with us in the gym.

    Best burger in Bangkok?

    girl eating a spicy burger in bangkok

    Agh, doesn’t that look juicy… 😉

    While picking my beef and veggies made in the slow cooker at home for lunch today Tom sent me an awesome snap of his lunch containing delicious salad, salmon, coconuts and rice and chicken. I was drooling by looking at it and got even more excited when he made me promise we’d go for burgers at New York Steak & Burger in soi 22 after work. I was going crazy and felt like I finally had something to look forward to and decided to skip my oats and save up calories for some delicious burger (yes, I’m trying to diet for a while). I feel like I’m making Tom sound like a crazy eater but he had just finished a crazy leg day and whatever meals he ingested today was well deserved. I was kind of scared Tom was just talking out of hunger after workout so I made sure he didn’t forget throughout the day.

     

    When we got there we ordered the only two spicy options they have “The Atomic” and “The Firehouse Chilli” as we usually do. We chose fries as a side for one and salad on the other, as one side serving of fries is enough for two persons IMO. Anyways… over to the burger.. We always get ours medium rare, so it’s very important they get this part right. There’s nothing worse than places that grills your meat too long. This place though, OMG, the meat is so soft and the amount of bread, cheese and other fillings is just right. It’s not too full to be able to eat it with both your hands and not wet and falls apart either.

     

    This is definitely one of my favourite burger places in Bangkok, and I can’t wait til we move back to soi 22 and get to eat there more often. The price might be a bit high compared to other good burger places like Daniel Thaiger and Fatty’s, but in return you do get higher quality ingredients. I’m still not sure if they beat Chef bar though.

     

    What`s your favourite burger place?
