the best dinner that i experienced in copenhagen was a rather romantic one at cholon. the fusion food was fabulous, the portions were perfect, the restaurant interior was charming, and the staff were UNBELIEVABLY kind.
my party ordered two starters and two mains to split between four adults.
01. crispy fried rolls w/ chicken & vegetables
02. steamed wontons with pork
03. ga ri chay, rice noodle in curry-coconut milk
04. pho bo, ricenoodle w/ beef on star anise & cinnamon
while its soup base was decent, the pho bo was not necessarily something to write home about. (having grown up on pho served at a particular restaurant in los angeles, i think my palate is just biased towards a specific type and amount of seasoning.) the fried rolls and ga ri chay, on the other hand, were absolute standouts. every component of these dishes was fresh and flavorful. each mouthful was a textural funhouse.
if you want to be comforted with a warm, delicious, candle lit dinner after walking over 18k steps around denmark's capital, use your remaining energy to go to cholon!
