I’m going from Hong Kong to Iceland next month. I’ve read that everything there, including food, are quite expensive. So my wife and I have been researching on how to prepare meal or snack that we can eat during the day instead of going to restaurant.

However, given we will travel by day tours, I don’t think fire or microwave will be readily available during the tours. We can only prepare the meal the day before or in the morning and bring with us in the tours.

We’ve read that peanut butter/honey with bread, dried fruit and nuts are some good options. Overnight oatmeal may be great but I’m not sure we can keep them cool enough throughout the day and if not, whether this will cause food spoilage.

Are there any other recommendations to have more variety? Thank you!

    Just buy groceries and cook them in your hotel while you’re there instead of eating at restaurants. My cousin did a trip to Iceland a few years ago and that was his strategy.

      We do plan to cook at the hotel we’ve booked, but not sure what type of food are more suitable to be brought as lunch without microwave. In HK, we often cook rice and such and use microwave to reheat for lunch.
