EATS: Hot Beverages at Espresso House, Sabbatsberg

Before I start this blog post, I just wanted to thank Giulia, Patricia, Daniele and Gloria for spreading the word about my blog!

Whether you've stayed in Stockholm for a long time, have just visited once, or will just visit, I assure you will Espresso House all around you. I wouldn't be surprised if they have one Espresso House per two kilometers.

Fortunately, we live in a place near a park, a hospital, a supermarket, a train station and an Espresso House. We've visited this particular branch a couple of times, and I couldn't blog about it because I always forget my phone.

Espresso House's White Hot Chocolate

My sister and I ordered the White Hot Chocolate, my dad got a Latte and my mom got a normal Hot Chocolate. 

My drink tasted okay, but not very good. The thing that concerns me is that did they really use white chocolate or milk? I couldn't really taste the difference.... 

Besides hot beverages, Espresso House also offers a good variety of sandwiches, cookies and other sweet stuff and smoothies.

RANT | The Ratchet Closing Times of Swedish Stores

There might be some things you'll be concerned or enraged about while your travelling, and I'm about to share mine. It's not a "rant" kind of rant.... I just don't know why.

So recently, my family and I chose to go out this evening to get a cup of hot chocolate in a coffee shop near our house. And guess what? It was closed.

The thing about this is... it was six in the evening. I mean, what kind of establishment closes at 6?

Something worth talking about: If you're going to Stockholm, GET YOUR SHOPPING DONE EARLY. Some people might describe "early" as 5 in the afternoon, but be prepared to see the shops closing and packing up by then.

I don't know why they close so early though. This is just one of the things that can puzzle you while travelling.

But alas, we all need to deal with cultural differences, and I need to deal that I didn't get some hot white chocolate from Espresso House.

 What are some of the things you don't understand about travelling and other countries?

EATS: All Star Sportsbar - Stockholm

Just after our experience at Pizza Hut (Click Here To View), we decided to grab another bite to eat. As we were walking, we saw a sports-bar that was quite reputable, so we decided to go in there.

ALL STAR BAR - The Fabulous Sports-Bar

After we ordered some drinks (which was Sprite for me and my sister and wine for the parents), we were given some complimentary popcorn. It was very enjoying munching on the popcorn while watching two guys play tennis.

We then had some more things to eat. We had the garlic bread with spicy aioli (SEK 59) and the All Star Megasnacks (SEK 120). The "Mega-Snacks" consisted of mozzarella sticks, cheese and spinach, nachos. Sauces were guacamole, salsa, melted cheese and my favorite, sour cream.

Garlic Bread & Aioli

All Star "Mega Snacks"

 My absolute favorites were the garlic bread and the mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks were awesome, because it was CHEESE. Surprisingly, I didn't like them when dipped on the cheese sauce. I liked them better with the sour cream.

The garlic bread was great, but not a fan of the aioli though. The nachos (I think) were made on-the-spot and went well with all the dips.

The worst thing was the deep fried rolls of cheese and spinach (those oval things in the Mega Snacks), because they didn't taste well together. They were bite-sized, and I actually just ate half of the bite-sized thing.


I would absolutely go back! 8.5 out of 10.

My Trip To Munkedal (Near Gothenburg)

Remember that update post that I talked about going to Gothenburg? I was really off. Turns out that we went to a cozy little town about a hundred kilometers away from Gothenburg named Munkedal.

So there isn't much to blog about Munkedal, though. It was really just a simple and quiet suburb type of town. One thing I'd like to talk about in the town was its nature.

The place where we stayed at was covered with trees. There were lots of trees, like birch, oak and some kind of fir or pine that are used for making Christmas trees.

We enjoyed the company of my mom's cousin, her husband and their adorable two year old. And did I mention their excellent food? She made us some olive bread and potato and leek soup with bacon bits. The soup is to die for!

Munkedal is a very pleasant experience and I would 100% go back. I wouldn't go again by train or car though, because long train rides make me dizzy and want to puke, and long car rides are just uncomfortable. I would prefer planes, but they're quite expensive. Everything has its pros and cons, though.

UPDATE: Getting Ready for Gothenburg!

Currently here in Stockholm, the Middle School students are experiencing their fall break... which will be finished in a couple of days. So we thought that a perfect way to end this break was to travel. Isn't travelling the solution for anything though? {lol, jk, but most of it, maybe?}

So we're gonna visit one of my mom's relatives living in Gothenburg (which is still in Sweden). I really don't know though if the house we're staying at has Wi-Fi (pray to the heavens it has), but I will still keep track of my travelling {and eating} experiences for you!, But don't expect for me to post anything for the few days coming up, though.

Thank you once again for supporting me and most importantly, this blog!
