FIN: Finnair AY131 (Economy)

Row, row, row your potato boat again~ We've finally reached the last post of my overseas food adventure last June. While my BFF and I flew to Helsinki, Finland in the Business Class cabin of Finnair AY132 , we flew back to Singapore in the Economy Class cabin with the same aircraft. Read further to find out about the supper and the light meal that we had onboard.

FIN: Ravintola Zetor

Taking pride in being a "110% Finnish restaurant"~ Before leaving Helsinki, Finland, my BFF and I had our last dinner at Ravintola Zetor near Helsinki Central Station. Serving classic Finnish dishes, the restaurant was declared open on the country's 74th anniversary on 6 December 1991. I suspect it's the only restaurant in the world with its menu written in 21 different languages.

FIN: Hotel Anna [Breakfast]

Image
My taste buds were jolted by preserved strawberries! Hotel Anna (3*) was the last hotel that my BFF and I stayed at during our June trip. When the hotel first began its operation in 1985, breakfast used to be served in a small room on the 5th floor. As business began picking up, it had to dedicate a bigger space for guests to enjoy their buffet breakfast.

FIN: Ravintola Sea Horse

Delicious herring steak, but salty Scandinavian hash... Ravintola Sea Horse is a well-known restaurant in Helsinki, Finland that has been in operation since 1934. Famous for its Baltic herring steak and other traditional dishes, the restaurant is colloquially known as  Sikala (lit. The Pigsty), though I'm not sure why is that so.

EST: Kuldse Notsu Korts

Does elk meat taste different from reindeer meat? A day trip to Tallinn, Estonia from Helsinki, Finland proved to be rewarding. For lunch, we'd wanted to dine at the highly popular Rataskaevu 16. However, since it was way too crowded, we decided to head to another famous restaurant that serves Estonian cuisine called Kuldse Notsu Korts (lit. Golden Piglet Inn).

FIN: Mumin Kaffe

Have some snacks and drinks with your favourite Moomin characters! I was so sad when I got to know that Moomin Café at Harbour City in HK closed down. During our visit to Helsinki, Finland, my BFF and I made it a point to drop by one of such establishments. It turned out that we went to the original branch, which isn't that far from Kaisaniemi Botanical Garden and Helsinki Cathedral.

FIN: Ravintola Kuu Kuu

Image
'Twas my very first experience with reindeer meat! Situated not far from the famous Temppeliaukio Church that was built directly into solid rock, Ravintola Kuu Kuu serves classic and modern local dishes in a relaxed setting. It has been around since 1990. BTW, ravintola is the local word for 'restaurant'.
