Pasta and Pizza at Pizzeria Da Cimino‎ @N50° 7' 9.28" E8° 38' 44.42" Frankfurt, Germany

Another place that my friends love to frequent when in Frankfurt. Be ready to stand and have your lunch as there are only 5 or so tables indoors. In summer you have the option to sit outside.


The shop front.


Firewood for the pizza. You can't go very far wrong when they run a wood fired oven.


The menu.


Spaghetti alle Vongole aka spaghetti with clams. Nice....


Spaghetti frutti di mare or seafood spaghetti. Quite a fair amount of calamari in it. Could not finish it as the portion was HUGE! (also because we over ordered, hehehe)


Just had to try the pizza, so we ordered a parma ham and rocket pizza. Excellent!


Creamed spinach. Really rich sauce!

An excellent meal overall, struggled to finish what we could.

It's here

Crispy Duck at Bistro Hong Kong @N50° 7' 17.05" E8° 38' 53.96" Frankfurt, Germany

Was told by my friend that the crispy duck here was something to try. So, we went there.


The shop on the left is the one we went to.


They deliver as well


Deep fried duck on a bed of stirfried mix vegetables.


It really hit the spot on a cold afternoon.

Look for it here

Korean Food at Han Woo Ri @S27° 28' 19.95" E153° 1' 36.84" Brisbane Australia

Arrived late in the evening in Brisbane. Not many places open. However, after some exploring we found this place. The food is nothing fantastic but hey! it's open.


As you can see, it is open LATE!


Hehehe a cold one.


Fish cake


Cucumber kimchi


The standard kimchi


Potatoes


The pork Katsudon that my friend had. Not really sure if it belongs to Japanese food or Korean food. Hahaha.


Spicy pork on rice it says on the menu. Not too bad.

Hunt for it here

The Butcher Shop and Grill @S26° 6' 26.18" E28° 3' 17.55", Johannesburg, South Africa.


One of our favorite places to go to when in Johannesburg. The Butcher Shop and Grill


It's at Shop 30 Nelson Mandela Square, under Michelangelo Hotel. The meat is being aged.


This is what we started off with.... Hehehe Beer! Although the glass is Amstel it's actually the local Castle beer.


Sausages for sampling.


The greek salad, not enough tomatoes if you ask me.


Grilled sardines, smells kinda fishy but tastes real good.


The T-Bone steak



I had antelope done medium rare, looks raw to me!


The baked sweet potato that came with it.

Kobenhavner Cafeen @N55° 40' 41.24" E12° 34' 30.76" Copenhagen , Denmark.

Been wanting to come to this place for a long time, finally got to go. WoooHoooo!

The shop's signboard. The official address is Badstuestræde 10
1209, Denmark. Located just off the walking street.


This is the Copenhagen Plate that we ordered. Consists of 7 different types of dishes


Fish fried in breadcrumb, well fried, not oily and still crispy.


Meatballs served with some sort of pickled vegetable.


Smoked salmon with dill and tomatoes


Mmmmmm, my favorite, the roast pork. The crackle was just amazing!


Sauerkraut, made from red cabbage. It's to accompany the roast pork I believe.


Pickled herring, a local delicacy. Love or hate it kind of food.


Mushroom salad topped with bacon, mmmmm baconnnnn. The dish on the side is the egg mayonnaise salad.


The different types of local bread that accompanied the meal. Butter and cheese spread was included. Go easy on the bread as it is relatively heavy, otherwise you will have trouble finishing your meal.

Can't wait to come back here again.

You can find it here.

Jensen's Steak House @ N55° 40' 23.90" E12° 33' 41.56" Copenhagen, Denmark



It's been a few years since I have been to Copenhagen, So, I decided to go look for some of my favorite foods that I have not had for a long time. Barbecued pork ribs were among the first to come to mind. So off to Jensen's Bofhus we went. It's a steak house but I found that they also do an excellent ribs.


The starter...hehehe. Tuborg or Carlsberg, a must have local favorite!


Barbecued pork ribs with fries and coleslaw. This was the 300gram lunch version.


The 500gram version with potatoes and coleslaw.


I find the ribs here to be very tender and well marinated. I just love it!

They also have a salad buffet. Very refreshing indeed. Sorry about the lack of pictures for it, I shall try to take some the next time I go there.

Jensen's, I believe, is a popular chain in Denmark, even in Copenhagen there are quite a few shops (at least 2 that I know of). Give it a go if you are a meat lover.
