18 days in Asia

From 05. March to 23. March 2013, I will be in Asia, there the travel destination is China, Hong Kong for family and relatives in 11 days and then 7 days in Thailand, Phuket for just fun and a well deserved vacation.

Never been to Thailand before, so really excited and looking forward to that. Planing to take the scuba dive license for Open Water. Much cheaper to take the course there than here in Norway.

I can feel the need of this vacation. The past year has been filled with so many changes and challenges. Once the plane have taken off, I'm gonna leave my worries behind, and I am gonna renew my spirit and give my mind and body the needed breaks from everyday stress.

Shitty school caferteria

Had nothing good to eat at school, and it feels like the cafeteria is getting worse for everyday. Didn't had time for breakfast either, feels like I am being put on a forced diet.

And just to put the icing on the cake, the stomach decided to go rampage. Just to remark me how unhappy it is.

....

ARGH! Sooo HUNGRYyyyyyy!

Realization

Yesterday my friend broke his Samsung Galaxy SIII by losing it down the toilet, and on it's way down, hit the edge of the toilet, which also lead to smashed screen.

After I died several times of oxygen deprivation from laughing, I promised to join him to the store and buy a new one.

However, I realized that I was going to be delayed, and send him a text; "gonna be late, give me 5 min, forgot to pack to school", and send.

Took me 5 seconds after sending that text... his phone doesn't work...

Vertshuset

 

Vertshuset is a little tucked away local restaurant in Molde, Norway. Due to location, it may be a little difficult for visitors to find the entrance into the restaurant. Many will think that it is a part of the hotel or a pub.

However, if you find your way in, you will find the restaurant decorated like a Norwegian tavern style with antiques and massive timber and beams ceiling, which gives a cozy look. With the way they dim the lights and candles everywhere, it kind of remind you of a hut back in the days.

Their are known for their fish soup appetizer, reindeer tenderloin, monkfish, beef, (salt) cod, marinated salmon (who is the chef's specialty) and generous portions of the dishes.

At the start, the service we got was so-so. We met two waitress at the entrance, where none of them welcomed us or gave no sign to show us to the table. As far we could see, they just stood there and did nothing than shit-chatting with each other.

Usually, when you arrive at a restaurant you wait for a waiter to direct you to your table, however, this restaurant is quite common so it is not unusual that people/local help themselves and just take a place. Unsure what to do, wait or help our self, we ended up waiting at the entrance. 2-3 minutes later we asked if it's OK to just take a place.

After we found us a table, there was suddenly a third waitress who come flying with a big smile, welcomed us and gave us our menus. Those two other had disappeared somewhere and no where to be seem.

Since they are well know for their fish soup, I took my chance on it for the appetizer, and for the main course, entrecôte with fried potatoes.

We didn't wait long before the appetizer was served with bread and butter. The soup was tasteful and rich with content, larges pieces of fish meat, and creamy. Little to salty for my own taste, but all in all, very good.

The entrecôte was cheap, 139 NOK and was super tender. I'm a meat lover, and therefore some find me picky/demanding when it comes to meat. But I can't any negative about this meat of mine. It's perfect medium roasted, and the vegetables were fresh and sweet, the Bearnaise sauce was a dance in my mouth and no scorched potatoes. And for that kind of price, I have nothing to complain about.

I will definitely come back again for this main course, but with a different appetizer.
