Tenpura and cold noodles


+Had a craving for Tenpura soba. Normally I prefer with hot noodles but my husband prefers cold ones. Tenpura is a lot of work but it certainly was worth making efforts.

Twin towers of the Rodskilde Cathedral
Coffee time after stralling the area of Roskilde





Denmark Trip 12 - Breakfast on the train

Went to Roskiled to see the famous Cathedral and to visit the Viking museum via train. My sister packed delicious breakfast sandwiches for us.

Smoked salmon sandwich. "Okologisk" on the apple juice packet means organic. You often find Okologisk products in Danish supermarkets.





Denmark Trip 11 - Dinner at Tivoli

Hamburg steak with french fries. Very juicy and delicious.
Churros are made to order in one of the park's food booths. They were so good!

Denmark Trip 5 - Diversion to Malmö, Sweden











We went to the neighboring country, Sweden today. Although it is a different country, the city Malmö is very close and easy to get to from Copenhagen. After walking around in the town, we had a very nice lunch at a lovely cafe Smak ( http://www.smak.info/index.cfm). It is a bit of walk from the train station but it is definately worth visiting. The price is reasonable and the food is just wonderful.
