A memorable lobster soup



There are some places and some meals that you will never forget. You can go in a fancy restaurant, and a year after, forget everything about what you ate.
The place I will never forget is "Saegreifinn", or Sea Baron, it's in Reykjavik, Iceland. I went to Iceland a few years ago, and to be honest, it was not really for any culinary reason, it was mostly for treking. A friend of mine who lives their, told us to go to this small shop/eaterie in the port, it's suposed to be the oldest one in the port and all the fisherman go there. It was a tiny place, and really cute.

On the board underneath the name, you could read "Hemisins besta humarsupa" (best lobster soup). The cashier/owner, poored us ladlefull of the soup in a paper cup, and we sat in the banch outside. The first spoon overwhelmed my mouth, and this taste it still in my mind, tought I don't know exactly how to describe it. Maybe that's why so many people use the word umame, so good, not that common, that you can't describe.





After eating, a cat came by, I think named Mika, and while we were peting the cat, the owner showed us an article about his restaurant, and guess who was in the forefrount of the picture? Milka.
