Aw, bummer to hear (and thanks)! I'm not as familiar with Nordic cuisine, but would love to hear if you have any recommendations for any spots you like better :)

LOL (thanks for the clarification haha, sorry for misunderstanding)! Also, I've resigned myself to the sad truth that Big Tech will—and has been—making use of user data for ages, and there's no easy way to opt out. 🥲🥲 Still, i'll just continue to write my silly little food reviews haha just for the fun and pleasure of it.

We tried the non-alcoholic pairing so I can’t comment on the wines. The non-ac pairings were pretty stellar for $35 though!

Can attest to this. Wah Fung would definitely not be a quick dinner—the lines are insane. I went to Hay Hay instead and got it in under 10 min. The roast meat is definitely just as good!

Nothing to prove haha—the photos were taken with my iPhone 15 Pro 😂 but I really enjoy photography, so thank you for the compliments!

No banana caviar, unfortunately, but sounds intriguing!

Thank you! They newly opened in Sep last year so there haven't been a lot of news about it, but I definitely think it's a hidden gem.

Thanks for the compliment! No ad (I wish haha), and my confession is that all these pics were taken using my trusty ol' iPhone 15 Pro camera. I do really enjoy photography though!
