Christmas has now reached the main toilet at #HeathrowT3. Alas, not the oratorio kind of Christmas, but the two-versions-of-“Santa Claus is Coming to Town”-in-a-row kind. #heathrowt3toiletmusic #toiletmusic #wheresmyclassicalchristmas

#restaurangutangen and friends went to Diamond Indian Cuisine which had consistently good, but not very adventurous and not at all spicy Indian food. #therestaurant-utan had Goan fish stew which was coconut-tomato curry with tender pieces of fish. Not expensive and good service. #oslorestaurants

Christmas has still not come to the main toilet at #HeathrowT3, and they have not (as suggested last Friday) upped their game at all: Today they played Bach's Air on the G String (again!) and, amusingly for this Norwegian observer, Grieg's Morgenstemning (Morning Mood) from the Peer Gynt Suite.

#restaurangutangen and husband returned to Duken bar og pizza to try the Sichuan potato pizza (excellent, paper-thin baby potato slices marinated in Sichuan pepper, white base with taleggio, spring onion and fried onion – not overly hot, but delicious) and the Thai Margherita pizza (basically

Have they upped their game in the main toilet in #HeathrowT3? I could hear it was probably a Händel aria (alto in a festive major key), but I had to contact my Händel aficionado informant to figure out that it _may_ have been Their Land Brought Forth Frogs from Israel in Egypt. #toiletmusic

#restaurangutangen and daughter also had dinner at Topolabamba in #Edinburgh (as they always do). They seem to have shrunk the menu, but the QPR is still excellent, great tacos and quesadillas with plentiful fillings and good heat, perfect guacamole and good desserts. #edinburghrestaurants

#restaurangutangen and daughter went to Harajuku Kitchen in #Edinburgh and had pork gyoza, sticky chili karaage, salmon and tuna sashimi and ditto nigiri, dragon futomaki and salmon hosomaki (by accident, they actually tried to order salmon and tuna futomaki but got hosomaki and didn't bother to

#restaurangutangen has lived virtually next door to Le Benjamin for over two years, and finally got to try it. It deserves the reputation, she went with the very nicely priced three-course menu. First chicken liver parfait with beets and cornichons, really outstanding turbot with crab beurre blanc

Extra noisy in the #HeathrowT3 main toilet tonight due to half term, but not too noisy to identify The Swan from Saint-Saën’s Carnival of the Animals (again). #heathrowt3toiletmusic #toiletmusic

#restaurangutangen tried Duken bar & pizza today, having heard great things about their birria taco pizzas, which come with a bowl of rich stock to dip the pizza in. It was good, the pizza crust is excellent (elastic and nicely charred), and the birria pork, lime and coriander topping was nice.

Documentation of the music choices in the main toilet at #HeathrowT3 continues, tonight the music was audible but the choice disappointing: Greensleeves in a cheesy string setting. #heathrowt3toiletmusic #toiletmusic

#restaurangutangen and daughter went to #Kibou Oxford _again_. They have now perfected their order and got chicken karaage (perfect!), loads of excellent nigiri, including outstanding bluefin chutoro, and two classic uramakis. The apple gyoza dessert was slightly boring, though. #oxfordrestaurants

#restaurangutangen and friends had pre-theatre dinner at Terra Moderna in Hampstead, where they do Australian-inspired Italian food. She had watermelon, peach and feta salad and then linguine with raw tuna, lemon butter and sesame, which was all good if not spectacular.

Apparently the speaker issues in the main toilet at #Heathrow T3 are fixed, I had no problems hearing long stretches of Erik Satie’s Gymnopedie no. 1 (bonus points for the organ setting) and Bach’s Air on the G String. #heathrowt3toiletmusic #toiletmusic

#restaurangutangen went to Panu for her birthday dinner, and this was an excellent choice. The tasting menu had seven elegant and playful servings, often with a sneaky chili sting (e.g. jalapeño jelly in cold tomato broth reminiscent of Alouette in Copenhagen), all delicious and very well executed.

Going to the main toilet at #Heathrow Terminal 3 is actually like a fiendishly difficult music quiz. Yes, they play the most recognisable classical pieces you can imagine, but with almost insurmountable acoustic obstacles (the dreaded hand dryers etc.). #heathrowt3toiletmusic #toiletmusic #terminal3

#restaurangutangen and daughter finally decided to try something new and ended up having dinner at The Standard in Jericho. They were a little surprised by the very sweet, coconut-driven and not at all spicy chicken tikka masala, but loved the juicy tandoori lamb chops and garlic-coriander naan.

#restaurangutangen and daughter had lunch at yet another of their #Oxford haunts, Vaults and Garden. Or at least #therestaurant-utan daughter had lunch (very good chicken fricassee), #restaurangutangen actually just had cake (excellent chocolate cake with beetroot and raspberries, good carrot cake).

#restaurangutangen and daughter had dinner at another of their #Oxford haunts, Kazbar on Cowley Road. They keep coming back for their cozy North African interior and their penchant for Latin ballroom music. The food is a bit uneven, but very reasonably priced.

#restaurangutangen and daughter went to one of their #Oxford haunts, namely Kibou in Little Clarendon Street, which as usually provided excellent sushi – in particularly the nigiri made with very high-quality bluefin tuna toro, scallops, hamachi and salmon and perfect sushi rice.

#restaurangutangen needed lunch after visiting Père Lachaise and picked the nearby Nossa Churrasqueiro outlet without giving it too much thought. It was an excellent choice, she had an outstanding, succulent chicken sandwich with hot sauce (enormous and hard to eat in a polite way).

#restaurangutangen is sticking to the 17th arrondissement and had the tasting menu at Rooster, which was excellent and very good value at €95 (allegedly 5 courses, but there were also two amuse-bouches, and two extra mini desserts, a sure way to please #therestaurant-utan).

#restaurangutangen had dinner at L'art du quotidien, a very charming place on the corner of Rue de Levis. She had absolutely delicious beef tomatoes dotted with ricotta, almonds and a mix of olives and onion. You just don't get tomatoes like that in Norway!

#restaurangutangen is in Paris, and yesterday she went to Au bon Jacques, just around the corner from her hotel, and had perfectly good beef tartare and chips and some very decent rosé from Provence, all at a very reasonable price. #therestaurant-utan #parisrestaurants aubonjacques.fr/fr
