Friday was date night and my husband had gone out of his way to treat me to a romantic night out.
So we headed for this small Thai restaurant famed for being one of the most romantic eateries in Copenhagen. I soon discovered why: Aside from regular tables, they have two 'beds' - it's sort of like bungalow-beds filled with pillows, lamps, candles hanging from the ceiling - it's really cosy and romantic, so thumbs up for that!
When we arrived the beds where still occupoed so we went to the small bar where Ulrik started off with a beer and I had the lichee cocktail - the beer was good, the cocktail just OK.
Ulrik and I are quite familiar with Thai food from Bangkok where we attended cooking classes at the Blue Elephant - and to be honest, the food here was a bit poor.
We started off with the snack shrimp chips, which tasted pre-made as if just poured from a crisp bag. The duck and shrimp fresh spring rolls where OK, but the sauce to go with them was bland. However, the main was probably the worst part: Ulrik had the special pork and I had the shrimp in rice noodles. Ulrik's main was not very tasty, being very salt, fatty and unespecial. My shrimp dish was so over-cooked and rubbery, that I ended up sending it back. I guess they were out of shrimps and asked if I wanted to make another order. I went for the scallops, a much better choice than the shrimps as the scallops tasted more fresh and juicy.
I'll give it a 3 star as I really liked the beds and the romantic feel of the place. But the food simply didn't live up to the expectations. read more
