Asian Post Office

Well, it's been a nice evening, isn't it? The oysters were SEVINgoa, really good service for people with gluten chest, they could solve most things.
This green drink with coconut cream described as everything from magical to amazing and other superlatives that Viasat's Olympic squad abused badly was good. But it's better to have a very ordinary whisky sour.

But go here and AW's you wit!

Another new Asian Fusion place, which I love. Most of the other Asian fusion sites (Farang, Miss Voon, Kasai, Shibumi, etc.) are quite dark, stylish, noisy and trendy. APO is quite neat, not very dark (not so strong lighting, but bright décor, as well as a lot of windows), quite trendy, not so noisy, but then they have also tried to bring in a little more cozy feeling, I think. I liked it, but I think I like the environment of the others even better. There's a little more going on. But I think some people will prefer this environment over the others, it probably depends on how you are as a person and what you like.

I liked the menu very much. About 20 small and medium dishes, and almost everything sounded awesome. Just right innovative, without becoming pretentious or difficult. The waitress recommended splitting 5-7 dishes into two people. We took seven and it was just right. What was really nice was that when the bill came in, it turned out that she had split three of the dishes in two, so that there would be just enough food for us. Nothing that we even noticed when we ate (that it would "only" be half the dish), but that made the bill about 200 KR lower. 👏🏻

The waitress was otherwise fantastic. So did the other two who came out and presented two of the servings. Best service I've had in a while. The only small minus was a little too long waiting on 2-3 occasions.

The first servings were chicken balos, fried oysters with browned soybearnaise (😱) and "popcorn shrimps". Deep-fried oysters were brutal! Innovative and sickly good. The chicken baos is cruelly good, but hard to fail with and might have been another little bit better if you're going to be a perfectionist. The popcorn prawns were good, but it got a little too much after a while when the dish was quite large. Now I like deep-fried, but know that many people may think that "it just tastes fried"; I don't think you should take this right.

The second serving was "APO's sashimi on today's fish with green mango and rose pepper yuzu" and raw tuna with noodles in mushroom broth. I'm afraid both of them were disappointing. The tuna was too boring, no exciting flavors, and I didn't like that the noodles and broth were almost fridge-cold. Sashimin was far too small, and also far too tart.

The third serving was deep-fried duck nut, duck liver and a tart tamarind chutney and seared (very fine) back steak, black garlic truffle créme, lemon yari and nashipäron. That's good, although I might have hoped for even better.

In summary, environment 4-, food 3+ and service 5. As a whole, it will be just enough for a four, but next time I hope that the food has risen another little bit, especially the lowest level.

Edit May 2021: Have been here two more times now and one time it was fantastic good, almost full pot food wise. Went here shortly thereafter again and ate much the same thing and then it was very good again, but maybe not full pot. Feels like a solid 4.

I had previously left a review here that was five-star, but my last visit gives me reason to be so brusque that I need to erase the old judgment. Simply because it's not true. We were three people on a Friday night after work, despite booking a table so we were thrown from the table after one a...

Frantzén

28 October 2019

This text has been translated automatically.

Going to Frantzén is something different from what I have experienced before. From the second you ring the bell down on the street to get in until you come out again.
It's like going into a capsule and visiting a fairytale world where magical creatures have conjured with every bite. Nothing is left to chance.
When we step into the hall and are well received by staff who are, just like us, ordinary people with a faiblesse for food and wine.
They send us into the elevator, which thunders upwards into the carefully decorated town house that is Björn Frantzén's magical world. In the elevator, the lights start to change color and Metallica is playing, we look at each other, me and my love, and giggle with tingling stomachs.
The lounge we are welcomed into is lovely, it smells from home from the crackling fire, and from the open kitchen where the canapés we will soon receive are carefully prepared. We get to choose champagne from a trolley and are served small bites with everything from duck cake to bleak roe and macaron with whipped foie gras. We are invited to come forward and look at today's ingredients with a well-thought-out presentation. Stories about how the caviar we are going to get for the cod has been selected and the live blue lobster from Norway.

Then we get to go on a tour, visit the kitchen and say hello to the chefs. Go into the wine room and feel the bottles that cost more than I earn in a normal quarter.
We enter the restaurant, and get to say hello to the magical creatures that are the evening's staff. We hear about the Swedish birch in the fire over the barbecue that takes place over an open fire. We're going to see everything being cooked, we're going to sit in the middle of the spectacle. The chairs are pulled out and everything that is served is like someone you love hugging you warmly. Every single bite crackles and tastes better than I could have ever imagined food.
The wine's perfect match settles like a silk shroud on the palate.
Then it comes in, the French toast, which is the most magnificent thing I've ever eaten. A perfectly crispy knight, topped with a parmesan cream, small drops of balsamic on top and then a flower of fresh autumn truffle is shaved over. When I take the first bite, first feel the crunch, then the softness and finally the umami fill all my senses, I start crying. It's so good.

When we finally finish in the restaurant and get to go up to the lounge again, we are served an extra dessert of buffalo milk ice cream, then comes the candy cart. Homemade candy with pistachio macarons, cloudberry jelly, pralines and small apple pies, no bigger than a thumbnail. In the elevator downstairs, The final countdown is played

Frantzén's fairytale world is like visiting Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for adults, it's too good to be true and it beats all high expectations. I don't really think we deserve Frantzén, it's too good for this world, but I'm glad they don't know that yet.
