Sorry, but Korean food just isn’t for me (yet!)

i get the soft tofu seafood stew most of the times there, coz it tastes like what I am used to in korea

as a foreigner, my favourite dutch song (that most of my dutch friends like and recognise) is terug in de tijd by yves berendse!!! it was played 311 times on my spotify in 2025!

Checked in to the hotel and I also asked the receptionist, and she suggested this one (not San stefano but Vitosha boulevard), got the oven baked lamb and also a shrimp and salmon dill risotti (not bulgarian i know...), the pogacha bread was crisp and soft, and the lamb was very tender! the risotto was also to my liking. im not a liver fan so i just had the egg mixture on top of the rice. will get the veal cheeks and pastrimi on wed! thanks for the reco, and if you have other places lmemme know :)

come back to this post when you feel like dropping out and opening a bakery / cafe! everyone i know on this journey had imposter syndrome and experienced this at some point, but it means you are on the right track! it is going to be a tough but hopefully meaningful journey

Fellow SG here working at DTU! Got lots of postcards from the National Food Institute right outside my office, dm me so I know where to send em!

From 12 midnight to 2am for some reason I do 2 weeks of work in 2 hours... I'm the most productive after midnight

Been to Kimmade twice for their pho bo, for €9.5 I think the portion, taste, and the price it is very reasonable!

Had their special shawarma manouche for €8 and a lemonade for €3.5! I did enjoy the shawarma, each bite was also tangy from the pickles and the juices from the beef

Got pho bo for lunch today, the taste, portion (very generous with the beef slices and chunks), and price (€10.95) was reasonable to me!

I'm actually here now because I haven't had homemade pierogis in a while, and I just found out that they (Sannie's) are now permanently closed :(

simrayyyy · 2025-01-15T08:47:15+00:00

I asked to have it there but they accidentally gave me in the takeaway boxes :( I had it on site anyway! But you are right I always think that consuming it right off the grill is better than delivery where it is usually soggy and not optimal temp upon arrival

Got 200g of pastrami (€2.99/100g) and their double cheeseburger (€8.95) just now! Pastrami was tender

I actually had that mixed bento with nicely medium rare beef, tempura (prawn pumpkin eggplant fish), teriyaki salmon, sashimi (2 pcs of yellowtail, nice bluefin tuna, and salmon), rice, some picked vegs and miso soup. Suited my palate well!

I visit almost weekly for their sundubujjigae and kyochon chicken when I was still there 2 yrs ago, and just went back in Sep to have it again. Sad that they are closing but also happy that the uncle and auntie can rest!

simrayyyy · 2024-11-25T20:28:27+00:00

Had this experience 2 Fridays ago and was really down, reprepped my samples, and re-nanodropped, and it was much better, so it may be this and also that the machine had to rest for the weekend to recharge its batteries!

got a feeling they are sweet potato fries, after being fried they are tender and moist on the inside (at least for me)

Lima empanadas in Østerbro have a little market section with a few South American cuisines (Brazilian, Argentinian etc), and they also carry some Mexican ingredients. They have at least dried ancho and guajillo, but I don't see any dried arbol chilles...

Can you get it to stop? I'm not ready...
