#Restaurant Festival

[learnelle]

During my mini hiatus I fulfilled my dream of visiting Norway! The most surprising thing was hearing Lithuanian being spoken literally everywhere. My mum and I always speak Lithuanian to each other, so it was incredibly bizarre for people to overhear us and then come speak with us, or to have waiters/shopkeepers switch from English to Lithuanian. I’ve never experienced anything like it before, and I had no idea so many Lithuanians live in Norway! I absolutely ADORED this, it made all the places we visited instantly feel like home. Despite all that, I learned a bit of Norwegian and discovered that it’s literally the cutest language. Language learning is absolutely wonderful

#But fr it made me so happy 🥺 I rarely ever get to use my lithuanian so this was such a pleasant surprise!! #When we arrived in Oslo we sat down at a restaurant and were discussing how ridiculously expensive everything was - #- and then the waitress came over and asked (in lithuanian) if we were ready to order 💀💀💀💀 #We were struggling to find our hotel and we asked two ladies on a bench who were speaking lithuanian where we could find it !! #At a food festival in Bergen there was a stand for lithuanian chocolate so we were tasting there and had so many Lithuanians come and chat #And soooo many more instances like this !! #Imagine spending 99% of your time not speaking a language outside of the country / without your family #and then all of a sudden everyone speaks this language in the least expected place. Woah! #If I wasn’t so settled in France and if I was a bit less poor I would consider moving to Bergen. I loved itttt !!!! #studyblr #light academia #studyspo #langblr #norway #cottagecore

Dries Vos, the Director of The Couple Next Door posted an IG story at a restaurant in Belgium with Sam Heughan and Eleanor Tomlinson!

Excited for Sam and Eleanor's appearance on the red carpet at the Oostende Film Festival later today, January 28, 2024.

I know someone going, so I'm hoping to get some pics and info. But...I'm gonna sleep in, so I'll post those as soon as I wake up. It's 12:15 AM L.A. time now, so I'm off to bed. Excited for this! See you all in the morning. 😘

A yearly must buy mooncake from East Ocean Teochew Restaurant (东海潮州酒家) is this Mini Crispy Yam Mooncakes (迷你酥皮芋泥月饼) or the bigger cousin Crispy Yam with Whole Egg Yolk (酥皮单黄芋泥). As is everywhere, the price for it had gone up to S$70 for a box of 8s but the restaurant is offering a 30% discount for early bird buyers so we ended up paying S$49.

To get that spiral flaky pastry shell, two types of dough (water/oil) are need when making the Crispy Yam Mooncake. The yam or taro paste is smooth and velvety, sweetened with just a little sugar. As the filling contains moisture, I suggest toasting it to crisp up the pastry and to consume it with three days. It pairs well with a cup of Chinese tea or as I have it here, less sweet milk tea. In case some of you are interested in making it, I attached a how-to-make video (not mine).

[MAN: It's a gem -- I would've never expected to find an authentic Pakistani restaurant in a shopping center. I traveled to Pakistan and I lived there for two years, and just like that, his father fed him to the Wolf.]

i am begging the resident drarry new yorkers to write this. pleading on my knees.

i just need a plot!!! and to finish 5000 other things!! the plot can't be "drarry in new york" even though, knowing me, i could probably bang out 10k pointless words of that lol

#asks #anonymous #i honestly thought about setting make this leap in new york #like the restaurant is based off my favorite restaurant in my neighborhood lol #also made summer stroll happen on diagon alley #but that's all very niche ny #i'd want to write a magical street festival like san gennaro #or like you take the D or N too far and you'd think you end up at coney island but actually there's one more magical stop #the eye of sauron building is actually an evil wizard lair #etc

Ugh, Mexican food is so SO good. It's the equivalent of a hug in food form.

#i miss señora contreras' tamales 😭 she'd make vegetarian friendly ones for me at shool festivals #nothing beat her cooking. but a restaurant is almost as good.

We used to purchase mooncakes from Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel many moons ago until we switched over to Raffles Hotel due to their Champagne Truffle Snow-Skin Mooncake. With the latest price increase this year and low discounted offer, our pocket just couldn’t take the hit anymore.  We went back to Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant (万豪轩中餐厅) from the former hotel as they are offering a bigger discount! Immediately went online to order two boxes of Assorted Snowskin Mooncakes (萬豪精致冰皮月饼). Original price is S$88 less 40% corporate discount so we paid S$52.80.

On the day of collection. I was dismayed to find out that the so called Mini Mooncakes (迷你月饼) are real dainty in size that one can pop the whole piece into the mouth! While the packaging was beautifully designed and accompanied with a stylish cooler bag, the boxes containing the mooncakes only had loose plastic cover so it doesn’t keep the contents airtight. Coupled with the tiny size of the mooncakes, the glutinous rice skin was dried out and hard. :(

Yuzu Honey with Peach Passionfruit Praline (蜂蜜柚子蜜桃百香果奶心冰皮月饼) – A fruity and refreshing treat made with fresh Yuzu and pure honey. Featuring a medley of zesty yuzu, passionfruit and peach – the end result is a harmonious symphony of flavours when you bite into the praline.

Blueberry with Maple Cream Cheese Praline (蓝莓枫糖奶油芝士奶心冰皮月饼) – A favourite of my sis with visually stunning with eye-catching hues of blue, this new creation offers a burst of blueberry goodness coupled with a luscious maple cream cheese centre; unveiling a dense and chewy bite.

Irish Cream Latte with Baileys Praline (爱尔兰奶油拿铁百利甜酒奶心冰皮月饼) – Attention all connoisseurs of Baileys! Get boozy with this treat – sweet, milky and notes of vanilla from the Baileys praline paired with velvety smooth latte. Every mouth pack a distinctive taste, making this is my favourite of the four flavours.

White Lotus Seed Paste with Salted Egg Praline (白莲蓉咸蛋奶心冰皮月饼) – Here’s a modern spin to a beloved classic. Imagine sweet and smooth White Lotus Seed Paste accompanied with rich creamy salted egg praline – bringing out the perfect balance of sweet and savoury flavours. This is the closest match to the traditional baked mooncake with salt egg yolk but with a chewy glutinous rice skin.

PS - Kudos to the team at Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel for their swift action in getting in touch with my sis after she feedbacked to them on the dry and hard snowskin mooncakes. The hotel replaced our two boxes of mooncakes and I am glad to say that the snowskin got back it soft chewy texture.

pros of trying a new restaurant: the lady working the front counter said i was really pretty :)

cons of trying a new restaurant: i got food poisoning from it

#this solidifies my belief that trying new things sucks bad and isnt good #which sucks bc i really wanted to try jamaican food and i think if i went to a better restaurant i would've enjoyed it :( #it wasn't even a restaurant it was a bar with food in it. i should've known but i wanted to give the benefit of the doubt #i was fully dressed makeup and everything and then we walked inside and realized it's just a bar and got our bar food to go #then watched one piece at home. i was still in my dress and makeup so it counted as a date :) #love the lady working the front counter though i will think about her forever. ily girl #one day we'll try jamaican food but it will be at an actual sit down restaurant not a bar and i bet it'll be so good #the menu at this bar was weird bc it only let you order like 4 different foods depending on which day it is #i really wanted this like plantain sandwich type thing? but i couldn't order it bc it was on tuesday's menu #very sad... it looked divine #THEIR PLATAINS WERE SO GOOD i've never had a plantain so delicious in my life #also this bread they had!! it was like a sweet bread in the shape of a baguette. i think it was called festival? it was DELICIOUS #so the food wasn't all bad. just the goat curry that came out lukewarm and gave me a stomachache #honestly for bar food that's pretty ambitious so for that alone i give them credit #it didn't taste bad either. i just wish it didn't poison me
