A Malaysian friend from London came to Copenhagen for a business trip and we decided to catch up and did some tourists activities though it was not her first visit here.
Since we had not tried brunch in Cafe Norden (a cafe renowned for its brunch in Strøget), we decided to go for it.
Hot chocolate which came with 2 complimentary cookies. They were good. Not too sweet ;)
Cappuccino
Aha....this is the brunch. Fruits, sandwich, salmon salad, bacon, eggs, cake of the day, orange juice and some cheese. I couldn't finish all of them. Bread and the cake were the sacrifices. Danes have sweet tooth. Most of their desserts are too sweet for my liking. I thought the white layer at the top of the cake was cheese. Boy, was I wrong. It was icing! :S
Tadaa! All 3 of us ordered the brunch. How could we resisted that! Cafe Norden do have open sandwiches - one of Danish's specialty. However, I wasn't exactly impressed with them. If you had not tried them before, perhaps you should since it's the country's specialty and traditional food. As its name suggests, it's basically a piece of bread with shrimps or chicken fillets or fish fillets or slices of smoke salmon being placed upon it with dressings and salad. The top is uncovered (with another piece of bread).
After the hearty brunch, we decided to walk around and snap some photos. We passed by a church and saw a newly wed couple. They were surrounded by family and friends that came to witness and to give their blessings to the couple who reunited in the name of love.
Annette and I in front of the Town Hall.
This is not the National Theatre. Just one of the theatres in the town. Not as impressive as London's though. Had not been to any of the theatres or musicals so far because I could not understand Danish and even if they do have English ones, it would be really expensive.
One of the 3D cinemas in town.
There are not toys but cakes! How colourful! I hastily snapped photos outside the shop as they looked too inviting ;)
Tina and I at the Amalienborg castle
Behind me is the Opera House. It can be visited via the cruise or waterbus. Waterbus operates like a bus and if you have a clip-card or monthly bus, you could hop onto it easily. Otherwise, you may pay for the fare onboard.
Danish's icon The Mermaid was being moved to Shanghai for expo.
And it was being replaced by this one! Hahahaha. Cute!
Another mermaid around that area.
