We went to the Military Tattoo while we were in Edinburgh. To our surprise, Singapore send their Police force all the way to perform and they even brought along a LION to do The Lion dance:>

Finally!!!! After all the traveling around !!! Back to reality, time to really sit tight and concentrate at work, well, at least till next month- one more course coming!!!

First thing first, I have so much to talk about DENMARK!!!!
First of all, thank you to this lovely family that willing to take me in:> It was a great experience.


And the things that I have to talk about is FOOD!!!!
I love their food!!! I guess because JP's mum(Ingrid) is such a great cook:> People who know me well should know better about me n pork!! I HATE PORK!!! I never like to eat them unless they r processed.. N GUESS WHAT!! I have been eating pork everyday since i get to Denmark n I LOVED IT!!!!!

First day supper- home made meat ball with potatoes salad!! I was a bit skeptical initially, but I had 3-4 pieces!!! N no taste of pork at all!!! Well I guess thats the key part- it does not taste like pork!!! maybe thats y i like it- means I still dun like pork that smell pork????


Anyway, day 2, the famous meat loaf n bacon roast!!!! Grace Hubby starved himself for whole day just for this!! And I must say- This is the best!!!! the meat, the potatoes, carrot plus the special sauces!!! i can never get enough of this thing!!


My second favourite thing is the tea time, after the heavy dinner, every one in the family will sit round the living room and have cup of flower tea:>

In a special tea pot:> Cute!!


And on day three, there was a dinner party at home, had to prepare the table..


And guess what we ate?

What else?? Baked Ham!!

With potatoes n salad!!!
super yummy!!!! Food has become such a highlight of this trip n we were looking forward to dinner everyday!!!


And Ingrid also prepare some jelly for the dessert, she put all kinds of berries and boil in the port, n collect the juice n cold it in the fridge..


And we had it with ice cream:> super nice dessert:>

The other thing that Ingrid prepared for us is "Cold soup". basically they mix sour milk/ lassi with youghurt and sugar, mix the together.


And eat with this special small biscuit or any other hting that u like to put in.
I put some cherries that I bought from market:>


And smash them- look beautiful.. But I would imaginethis is more like a breakfast dish, but hmm..they take it for lunch, only for hot summer day:>


something different, bit sour, alot like youghurt or lassi, lucky I am a huge fan of Lassi:> like it:>

Also the curry meat ball and rice:> As a malaysian, I cant hardly associate pork with curry. But the curry is not hot la, just got a slight taste of curry:> soft and tender meat:> yummy!!!


Danish hotdog!!! with special saurce n fried onion n pickles:> another classic!!


THE LAST BIT!!! save the best till the last!! yeah!! PORK CRACKLING!!!!! best thing that they can ever make!!!! Is a deep fried pork lard and fat!! Super fatty n crunchy n YUMMY!!! I had 1 pack every day while i was there, n i brought two packs home as well!!!! Wish I could bring more!!!


U can just imagine how high my cholesterol is now:>
