    • Apparently this is one of the "cheap" easy restaurants to go to despite having chefs who have worked in 108 and Noma
    • 95 DKK per dish, or all 5 dishes for 375 DKK
    • Food was overall OK for me, I don't think it was at 108 or Noma level at all
    • they have 4-6 pm happy hour with 3 glasses of wine tastings for 100 DKK



Leek, potato, crushed caramelized rye bread
I actually liked this with leeks a quite flaky

Crispy cod skins, roe, horse radish mayo, Jewish artichokes
it was good, though I would have prefered if this was a bit a bit warmer especially the crispy cod skins

Pollock (White Fish), parsley puree, mustard sauce
Fish was just perfect, not too salty


Pork belly
Didn't like the crackling as it feels like this was just bought and dusted with some green thing

Apple.with white chocolate compote
like it with apple which was a bit refreshing

Lake Elsinore Walker Canyon Live Camera

By JC -
It's been really hard finding the live camera for Walker Canyon at Lake Elsinore so that I can check out if there is super bloom. Alas, they have one this year (2023) but the city decides to close it for safety reasons. I guess you can just see it from the Live Camera :( http://63.42.216.178:8088/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi

  Actual Tiger Sugar (This is their Black Sugar + Pearl Milk Tea with Mousse) Oolong (Red) and Peach (Green) Tiger Sugar Tea that costs like <$3.00 per cup March 13, 2021 I have tried "The Alley" instant milk tea, now I found Tiger Sugar Instant Milk Tea in the Chinese Grocery Store (Hong Kong Plaza) in Rowland Heights, CA and costing $2.98 each .  There were three kinds: The traditional Black Sugar, Oolong, and Peach.  Since I like my milk tea with actual "tea" so I only bought the Oolong and Peach Tea flavored one.  Now I tried looking for the instructions in YT, since there were no instructions in the cup (it was kinda all in Chinese).  So I googled and found the instructions in Etsy  (and priced there for $7.99 per set or 2 cups, kinda pricy as the mark up is like 25% more than in the supermarkets ) Where I bought it? Hong Kong Supermarket (18414 Colima Rd #1, Rowland Heights, CA 91748) Instructions: Submerge the Tea Bag into 450 ml (~2 cups) of hot water
