For our summer vacation this year, we are lucky that we stay at my mom’s place so we don’t have a problem with our food and drinks. Eating out is not on our agenda because we can just buy and cook the food we like.
Food tripping in Ørland Kommune is not a usual thing because they only have a few restaurants here. The majority of the people cook or bake their own food at home. But yesterday, we had our chance to try one of the restaurants in Brekstad. I was supposed to cook sinigang for our lunch but thanks to my aunt. She called my mom yesterday and she said, she will treat us to lunch. Yey! So off we went to Melissa.
Melissa is one of the restaurants in Brekstad Norway, they serve Italian food so we don’t have a problem in choosing foods. Browsing the menu is not a dilemma too because my mom can translate it. Lol
We all know that food serving in other countries is huge so if we (2 adults + 1 kid) are traveling, as much as possible, we only buy two meals and share-share na lang. But here in Norway, I always order from the kid’s menu. Hehehe! Sa height kong ito, lagi ako napagkakamalan na kid sa train, boat and restaurant. I also ordered from the kid's menu when we ate at Peder Hiort Marthus.

My son and I ordered Minibiff at KR145 and a glass of soda at KR33, if I will compute it in Philippine peso, it is more than PHP1000 for one meal, buti na lang libre. Hehehe! I was surprised when I saw the salad, I was not expecting na may salad pati sa kid’s menu so as usual, naiwan lang siya sa plate namin. Alam niyo naman, di ko mahilig sa dahon, hehehe! My son and I enjoyed our order, Sharing with you the other foods, I was not able to take picture of the appetizer and pizza.
Here in Norway, most of the time after eating meals, they will still drink coffee or tea so that’s what we did in Melissa. As far as I can remember, complimentary na yata yung coffee and tea, ikaw na lang magtimpla. I’m not fond of coffee pero sa lamig, napapakape ko just like in Sagada.
One thing I notice here in Ørland Norway, konti lang ang staff. My aunt told me that the person who took and served our orders is the owner of the restaurant.

Wow! I'm drooling!! Natatawa ako sis na napagkamalan ka na kid sa train. Anyways last month yung missionaries namin may pasyente sila Phil. heart center and lagi ko silang kasama. One time nag share sila sakin na sa ibang bansa daw talaga ang mahal ng drinks nila don kaya tuwang tuwa sila dito sa Pinas kasi ang mura lang daw ng drinks.
ReplyDeletePang kid kasi height ko dito, to think na nanay na ako. My mom would always correct pa na adult na ko so they could charge us the correct fare. hehehe! Yes, mahal nga din drinks dito, maski yung softdrinks sa grocery, ang layo sa price sa Pinas.
DeleteGrabe mahal ng meal no? Kaya bihira din ako kumain sa labas. Kapag kinompute mo kasi 1 week food budget na! Isa pa di ko gusto lasa ng food nila, parang iisa lang yung lasa. Agree din ako sa konti server nila. Sa Mcdo, cashier na sya pa maghahanda ng food mo. Eh minsan isa lang staff nila so haba talaga ng pila. Namiss ko tuloy yung chicken wings sa Mcdo at Iced Caramel kahit parehong mahal.
ReplyDeleteHindi ko napansin sa McDo kasi ako tagabantay ng table pero pansin ko ang tagal lang din ng waiting time to think na fastfood dapat. Ang mahal ng McDo noh, x3 yata compared sa Pinas.
DeleteDid I already say na carbon copy mo mom mo, sis? If I did, I'll say it again! lol. Nalula ako sa presyo! waaaa! haha. I don't think I'll ever be able to afford. haha.
ReplyDeleteYes, nabanggit mo dati, hehehe! Mahal noh? Kaya maski sila, bihira kumain sa labas.
DeleteWow, that restaurant is so expensive! Buti na nga lang libre. The food looks yummy though and at least the servings are big enough to share. It's always fun din to try new restos kahit once man lang.
ReplyDeleteKid's meal lang P1k+ na, how much more yung regular meal for adult. :) Yes, kahit one or two matry man lang. hehehe!
DeleteVisiting foreign places is incomplete without trying one or two of the diners. Thus it is really recommended that you save a lot for the trip to make the most of it. Good thing, though, you have your mom's place. Kamukha mo sya. Ihihi...or maybe because of the eyeglasses.
ReplyDeleteYes, big savings yung free food and lodging. Hehehe! With or without eyeglasses magkamukha kami. :)
DeleteWow, expensive! But not surprising naman siguro considering the cost of living. The dishes look appetizing in fairness, but you're right, the salads don't look very remarkable hehehe.
ReplyDeleteYes, high cost of living. :)
