after breakfast robert had to dash off to work, and alex joined him while me and mary went shopping.
and we didnt stop till 5pm or later.
i'm not gloating or taking pride in that fact, i'm complaining! i was REALLY tired by then and my muscles were stiff all over (when you try for hours not to slip on ice...)and my feet hurt. i managed to buy some really nice things on sale though :) 50nkr for a knitted wool jacket was the best buy in my opinion for today
anyway, just to keep some flow going, i'll just blog pictures of the beef in this post!
first up, 250nkr hotplate beef in Elnesvågen! This is a suspected Iranian place, or Turkish. Cant really tell, but perhaps if my dad saw the pic of how the food is presented he may give some insight to the former. moving on... a glimpse of the restaurant from my seat.
quite nicely decorated, very spacious and surprisingly empty. now bring on the BEEF.
isnt that such wonderfully prepared food?? my only complaint is that they dont ask you how you want your beef done, because i love my beef done medium. here they did well done, but still managed to keep the beef quite tender. the pretty yellow thing surrounding the plate is mashed potato, which tastes rather odd on its own. Yellow thing in the middle is BUTTER filled bernaise sauce. it seems foreign restaurants in norway love to butter up the bernaise horribly... but this one went well with the brown colored sauce underneath. the happy mixture of most of the food there tasted heavenly!bottom right corner of the pan is a cheese-topped baked portabello mushroom, which was very tasty because the mushroom didnt dry out at all during baking.
whether that was worth 250 nkr... well i have no comments, cuz i didnt pay for the meal hohoho. such dear parent in laws i have :D next is... BIG HORN STEAK HOUSE in trondheim! its quite a popular place and Robert booked a table a day in advance for us. we had a cosy window seat, although i was told if we sat further up we could watch the chefs cook the sexy hunks of meat.
on the wall is the head of an american bison if i'm not wrong. Darn i didnt know it was that huge. XD
The menu comes in norwegian and english, although alex said even if it didnt come in english i'd be motivated to learn the norwegian there and read it. XD i took this picture so you could see the prices of beef there. 
then i had to take a portion of the menu because i thought it was hilarious..
and finally... le beef! i ordered a 200g tenderloin, while alex and robert ordered 300g sirloin each. mary went for 200g sirloin i think. Everyone else had their beef well done while i went for a medium... but it was more medium rare to rare on one end :P
i really wanted to take a video of me poking the beef with the knife just to show how darn juicy and tender it was! sadly it was too dark.me and alex shared a starter together, which was perfect for two if you ask me, since.. well.. almost everything there is a pair! the shrimps were my favourite texture of crunchy freshness, just that it was slightly spicey. everything else was good too.
my side dish was creamed spinach. basically i just miss leafy vegetables which seem nonexistent here for some reason. Creamed spinach was the most expensive side dish at 49nkr, which i found intensely strange for an almost pathetic bit of veggie? ah, i miss aunty siu hong's quiche. it had so much yummy spinach in it...
that's robert's and alex's side dish. top is creamed mushrooms, which tasted alot like campbell mushroom soup but richer and tastier. and below was asparagus with mushrooms which i didnt try.
lastly, i simply had to take a picture of the final bill... which i'm supposed to send a picture of to mom just to see her reaction hohoho. but i dont dare HAHA
aaand in singapore dollars that's $412.with that, i shall end here and blog again tomorrow!
