Brunch buffet with my cousins at --- in DNB Bank, Oslo, Norway:
 |
Spinach & alfafa salad, olive salad (ate one olive), boiled potato w/herbs, cherry tomatoes & pineapple salad (didn't eat the onions), baked potato slices w/seasonings, cherry tomatoes & avocado, bread
(I don't like olives, except on pizza, so I thought the salad was rather vile. The cherry tomatoes & pineapple salad reminded me of some tropical destination, but it was overloaded with red onions. I liked topping the bread with smashed avocado and cherry tomatoes though. Reminded me of home.) |
 |
Bread, cherry tomatoes & pineapple salad, baked halibut, baked potato slices w/seasonings, spinach & alfafa salad, cherry tomatoes & avocado
(A glimpse of the rooftop view, it's kind of reminiscent of NYC! This plate basically features the same dishes as the previous with the exception of the baked halibut. That was probably the most tender fish I've eaten in a long time; the meat just melted in my mouth.) |
 |
Carrot bread, avocado, mango mousse & frozen strawberries cake, vanilla yogurt, assorted fruit
(Dessert! Usually my favourite course. The carrot bread was extremely soft and while I couldn't taste the carrots, the little bits provided a nice textural contrast. I was not a fan of the actual cake on the bottom layer because it was too thin and dry. Without the cake, the mousse and frozen strawberries layer resembled ice cream/frozen yogurt. Yum.) |
 |
Assorted fruit, vanilla yogurt, mango mousse & frozen strawberries cake

Dark chocolate Toblerone
(Love Toblerone, especially the dark chocolate one.) |
Snack:
 |
Dark chocolate brownie
(I also baked some brownies! Since I didn't add sugar, the dark chocolate really shone through. I ended up drizzling honey all over the rest of the brownies.) |

Tiny slice of banana cake

Oatmeal cookie
(This sounded really good in my head, but I was extremely disappointed after the first bite. Too sweet.) |
