Culture and Leftovers

Published by Susanne at 16:27 under Genius

Last Wed­nes­day night mum treated the sister and I to dinner and a night at  the theatre. In spite of some unfor­tu­nate cir­cum­stances it was an amaz­ing even­ing and pos­sibly the best theatre exper­i­ence I will have in my life! We saw The Broth­ers Kara­mazov at the National Theatre and it was pure magic! I would love to go into details about the per­form­ances and my over­all impres­sions but I can’t seem to find words. So here are some photos instead:

Before the theatre we had dinner at a little res­taur­ant called Ori­ental. It is appar­ently ‘related’ to my favour­ite res­taur­ant in Oslo, Dinner. I must admit I would have pre­ferred just going to Dinner. At the moment there is massive renov­a­tion going on in the street out­side, res­ult­ing in the whole place shak­ing like we were in the middle of an earth quake. Also, it was incred­ibly loud with people chat­ting above the noise of the build­ing outside.  We stayed it out, though, and the food really was deli­cious. The sister and I ordered the Crispy Duck for dinner and as we hadn’t a chance of fin­ish­ing even half of the huge meal I doggy bagged it (tacky? per­haps, but there was no way I was going to walk away from all that deli­cious­ness) and turned the lovely shred­ded duck meat into a hot lunch today: a deli­cious stir-​fry with red cap­sicum, sugar snaps and shal­lots. And hoisin sauce, of course. Heavenly!
