Nordic delights with a Hong Kong twist
2019-07-14  16 瀏覽
I absolutely adore Scandinavian food so I had to check out Norway House.
It is well hidden if you try to find it along Chatham Road South.
When I got there, it was reassuring to see that it was the real deal.
Unfortunately, they have changed the menu and the Viking Burger was sold out.
With the available menu, I tried to choose the snacks that weren't so Hongkonized even though some items were possibly nice like the salted egg yolk salmon.
Sadly people in Hong Kong don't appreciate stuff they don't know hence the items have to be made with ingredients people are familiar with.
I was really hoping to try the fishballs with cheese but again people here don't appreciate real cheese.

Started with the fishballs which were drizzled with Sichuan Sauce.
It definitely enhanced the fishballs but I wish they had some plain ones.
Anyway to summarize these fishballs definitely taste better than HK ones because it contains more fish than flour and you won't find bones or msg.
The texture is much softer.
Next was the boiled egg with smoked salmon and smoked salmon with toast.

Basically, both were smoked salmon except the bottom was different.
I loved their egg mayo on the toast because European mayonnaise is delicious but there was not enough dill on both these snacks.
But then again, the dill was probably toned down to adapt the locals.
As for the boiled egg, it had smoked cod roe paste which is a popular sandwich topping used on Rye bread or eggs.
The smokiness and saltiness tasted delicious with the egg and smoked salmon.
These are simple but delicious Norwegian treats that people can relate to  in Hong Kong.

Last but not least was the evilicious salmon coated in salty egg yolk, very Asian but delicious.
The chunks of salmon was moist and pink in the middle while the coating was crispy coated generously in salted egg yolk.


The best thing was the salmon skin was still attached because it was crispy and delicious.


To summarize, everything tasted good but I hope their menu can be improved with sandwich offerings for lunch because Scandinavian sandwiches are so damn delicious like the prawn and dill sandwich, salmon and egg sandwich etc.

Anyway, it is a good start that there are more Scandinavian joints to join Rye House where they previously did a crossover with the mackish girls who served these scrumptious mackish sandwiches.
