Nordic Cuisine

Some of the nice Nordic cuisines that we had the privilege to taste.

One of those (I do mean one of those! For those of you who might be interested to know what else we have tried may find them here or here.) we have tried in Iceland is Whale meat and we have tried it at a seafood restaurant called Thrir Frakkar

Whale Sashimi (also salmon)

Whale steak!! very nice, although it was seasoned so much that I could not taste any whale flavour. I think sashimi was better.

As for Finland, we went to the NJK's yacht club restaurant to taste some of delicate Finnish reindeer

Helsinki, Finland, July 2008

Some photos I have taken in Helsinki.

Food at Zurich

Last week were TOOLS EUROPE and ICMT and they were held at ETH Zurich. While we most ate at the conferences, we went to try some "local" cuisine when possible... here are some photos of the food we have had...

One of the lunches "I" have had at ETH was SUSHI!!

One of the meals we have tried outside conference is the traditional fondue and rabbit raclette... I have to say though the waiters in the restaurant we went to called Swiss Chuchi had very very very BAD ATTITUDE!!!

Sausages (veal, beef, pork, chicken...) are the local food we have also tried... the way is to dip into loads of mustard and ketchup hahahaha....
Although not a Swiss cuisine, kebap (kebab) is also a fairly local dish. Again there are veal, beef, pork and chicken as meat... I actually found them to be better than the ones back at home...

Punting

All of a sudden (即興)... we went to punting... actually I did the punting... so many punts on the river today, but it was good....

Acceptance!!
