Tasty Traditions

Thai International Airways may be offering direct flights to Oslo, but you don't have to travel all the way to the Norwegian capital to enjoy salmon, one of the country's best-known delicacies.

Greyhound Cafe's executive chef Torsith Saritwong has created a new menu around

Norway's famous fish and he recently introduced his delicious dishes by demonstrating

his version of Salmon Pate. He was joined in the preparation by Thai-Danish heartthrob and

singer Peter Corp Dyrendal, who proved he too is handy with a spatula!

The salmon sensations are being served at all Greyhound Cafe outets branches through

October 31. Check them out today.

Salmon Pate
