EATS: Tabac Du Roule

First, I just wanted to comment on how small this restaurant was. Tabac Du Roule was literally footsteps away from our hotel, so we decided to give it a try. Back to its smallness, it housed maybe twelve people for the restaurant, a bar with a few seats and a cigar shop. Who needs anything if you have food, beer and something to smoke? (Disclaimer: Kids, don't smoke or drink. That's bad for your liver, lungs and people around you. The question before this disclaimer was a joke, I'm serious.)

Trying to stick with the theme of Frenh food, I decided to take a croque Monsieur (sandwich of cheese and ham) with fries and a light salad while my mom and sister respectively chose some entrêcote steak and and a hotdog with fries.

Upon receiving my sandwich, I gladly took a bite. The sandwich was very ordinary and it lacked ham. It lacked ham very much. I was clearly disappointed and unsatisfied with. Y choice.

I struck a deal with my sister to give me half of her hotdog (The hotdog was clearly a FOOTLONG, and the fact that my sister wanted a "light meal" made her a bit annoyed) as I offer her half of my sandwich.

Her footlong was surprisingly better than my sandwich... it was better by a MILE. 

My mom's entrecôte was great. She ordered it medium wit some fries, a salad and some sort of peanut sauce. She let my try the steak that had a char on it which I liked. I think that the steak was below my mom's expectation because she thought it was tough.

This restaurant was not a very good one. I wouldn't recommend it food-wise, but what do I know? Maybe they rank much better as a separate bar or a separate cigar boutique...

EATS: Tim Tam's from Australia

My stepdad went to Australia the past week to check on his farm and some other stuff that grown-ups do. 

We made a checklist on what to bring from Australia and back here to Stockholm. Among the list were staplers, supplies for school, Microsoft Office disks and Australian foodstuffs. 

He brought me two packets of TimTams, a biscuit kinda like a Kitkat (name resemblance, eh?), two packs of our favorite nougat and VEGEMITE. 

Based from internet sources, a packet of TimTams cost from about 2.50 to 3.20 Australian dollars, about 16-20 Swedish Crowns or 2-3 U.S dollars.

First Impression: Once I opened the packet up, I thought that they would go beautiful as an accompaniment to afternoon tea or coffee. 

I tried the original one first, because you always need to try the original ones first, duh. IT WAS AMAZING! The filling was very creamy and was very delicious. I think it was too biscuit-y though, but I don't care. It's very good. Highly recommend. The texture of the biscuit was like a thinner but wider Kit-Kat. 

Then I tried the dark chocolate one. I personally prefer milk chocolate (in general), because of its creaminess, and I think that dark chocolate is quite bitter, and white chocolate is just... "ehh". 

This kind of dark chocolate biscuit was good too, but it was kinda bitter too. Clearly not a disappointment, though.

I shall try nougat and Vegemite next time!
