Asian Express in Oslo City Center, NorwayI have recently embarked on a 8-days Scandinavian backpack trip. This will be the first of a series of Swedish & Norwegian food posts. Oslo as the capital of Norway is one of the cities with the highest living standard. Dining out in Oslo is definitely not a cheap affair. A typical meal of a main course plus drink will easily set you back for more than 150 Norwegian Kroner (approx. RM97). This explains why the top 3 preferred food in Oslo is bread, bread and bread.
I for one cannot stand eating bread from morning till dawn. Thus, I would like to introduce this little joint called Asian Express that is situated in a garden between Parliament building and National Theater in Oslo.
Thai Fusion DishesThe menu is quite limited and laid out on the wall with nice pictures. You may choose chicken, beef and scampi (prawns) with rice or noodles. Once you have chosen your choice of meat, the chef will quickly stir-fry the meat with a selection of vegetables such as mushrooms, bamboo shoots, onions, leaks and carrots with spices such as turmeric, curry paste and coconut milk. I would say the cooking style is mainly Thai Asian fusion.
American Style TakeawayRegardless of dining in or takeaway, your meal will be served in a US style paper box with rice or noodles beneath the cooked dish.
Close-up on Chicken MealTaste wise, the dishes on offered were definitely not perfect and not up to our Malaysian standard. But who cares when you are 10,000 KMs away from home and all you want is a bowl of hot rice with meat and vegetable on top. This is our staple food: rice, rice and more rice please.

We ought to be so thankful for tasty and cheap food back home compared to what you have to fork out overseas. I have to say asian food served in europe, us and australia somehow does not taste asian..like how we like them. It's modified to the local taste there.
This is a good post. I enjoyed reading it.
Fully agreed to your statement. However, the price of food back home will surely increase in the near future.
