Why?

To geta bit more control over the technicalities of my blog. There’s a lot of stuff that you can’t do on the WordPress hosting. Unfortunately WordPress.com can’t do a permanent redirect to the new domain - so it’s very important that you update your bookmarks and feed address. Also, if you are linking to my blog, maybe you would update the links in some of your posts and in your blogroll? Thanks!

What does this mean?

All my new posts will be published at verygoodfood.dk and new comments here on verygoodfood.wordpress.com have been disabled. This page will stay up for now, but in a few months or so, I will shut down the WordPress account.

See you at my new page

Love,

First time I became familiar with Kiin Kiin was when I a fine day in September 2007 was walking from Sankt Hans Torv towards the Empire Cinema. I stopped to take a look at the menu on the wall of this discrete and new restaurant.

I am the first to admit that my knowledge about Asian food is sparse indeed. I do like Thai food, and I eat it about once a month but mainly as a take away, when I’m too lazy to cook. My general and narrow-minded opinion of Thai food is that it’s just the sauce that varies the taste, and if it has coconut milk in it, then that’s all it tastes of. Of course, there are exceptions to that rule, and I’m also certain that if I ever went to Thailand, I would completely change my views on this.

Nevertheless, the Kiin Kiin menu and the ambition to take Thai to the highest possible level of cooking intrigued me. Kiin Kiin was even honoured their first Michelin star in this year’s guide of the main cities of Europe. Gourmet Thai food, how on earth would someone make haut couture out of coconuts, shrimps, noodles and lemon grass? As I think of myself a complete Thai-novice I needed help, so when signing up for my first dinner there, I allied with a good friend of mine who knows as much about Asian cuisine as I know, umm let me think, about noma’s?

The street food snack

When you enter the restaurant you walk right into the lounge situated in the basement. We were seated in low wickerwork sofas and were served a big plate of street food snacks. I assume this is classic Thai furnishing (have never been to Thailand). The sofas were very low and sort of made me regret wearing the black décolleté top as I leaned forward to pick up the snacks.

The look of the big plate was wonderfully colourful and inviting. The shrimp crisps were very good, but the rolls were not vegetable enough and somehow too doughy to my taste. The pork-sticks were nice and the fish cakes were chewy and a bit indifferent in taste. The cashews were very salty. What I enjoyed the most about these appetizers were the lemon relish to dip the fish cakes and the lime salted lotus crisps. That relish was really stunning and had a perfect jelly-like texture and sweet and sour balance plus a really intense and full flavour. But, I am easy with lemon though, I’m a sucker for it.

You know already that I took pleasure in dining at Pierre Gagnaire, which was my first 3* Michelin experience in Paris. I would like also to tell you about other great food experiences I had in the fantastic City of Light. During the last couple of months I have been to Paris twice: one time for business and another with my family. This is a wrap-up of both trips.

“Let me know the day you’re ready for Gagnaire… I’ll join too”, this is what Laurent wrote to me months ago and by that the first very good food / Gatros on Tour epicurious date saw light

Happy Congratulations! This is amazing!
