Copenhagen - A Quick Guide

Image
Tips: Depending on how much commuting you wanna do, you might wanna just get the city pass that allows you to travel around CPH for 24 hrs (80 DKK) or 72 hours (200 DKK ~ 33 USD) and allows you to go from airport and city (Zone 1 -4). It is good for the metro, train, bus, and the harbour bus/water taxi. One way ticket to airport is 36 DKK and one ride in zone 1-2 is 24 DKK. Do check out the Copenhagen card too if you are really interested in visiting the museums too. Airport to City Very Easy and it's just there when you get out of the arrival area. 36 DKK for one way or part of a city pass (80 DKK for 24 hours and 200 DKK for 72 hours) Takes around 15-20 minutes to the Copenhagen Central Station, depending if it's a direct train or not Buy the Tickets from a red machine and then go to Spor 2 (platform 2) and you get off at Kobenhavn Central Station. Where you can buy the tickets even the city pass Track 2 - Train to CPH Tourist Attractions Nyhav

Flat Iron (Covent Garden UK)

Website: http://flatironsteak.co.uk/ Address: 17/18 Henrietta St, Covent Garden, WC2E 8QH Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Feedback: October 17, 2017 (Tuesday) Came here around 6.30 on a Tuesday evening and there was quite a wait. We have to wait 2 hours but the good thing is we can put our name and they can just text us when the table is ready. They have a 10 dollar steak! What else can you expect! It was quite good (though small). I ordered the burger and it was quite good as well.  it comes with a free popcorn... and then an Ice cream to end the meal :)

Pumpkin Velouté Despite not a lot, it was actually quite thick and thus feeling. I actually liked it. Went well with the mushrooms and nuts Seared Calves Liver This was the main course that I chose. It was really good, though would have wished if it was as part of the main course (or the appetizer), instead of the act

Kanada-ya, Piccadily Circus, London (Ramen)

Nearest Tube Station: Piccadily Circus Site:  https://www.kanada-ya.com/  Address:  3 Panton St, London SW1Y 4DL This is their 2nd store the first on is in 64 Saint Giles High Street, London WC2H 8LE, United Kingdom  Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Star Feedback: October 16, 2017 (Monday) As I've said in my  initial review,  "I personally consider this the best ramen I have tasted so far here in London. The soup and noodle was great, thick and tasty. The meat was soft as it should be. The Egg was a bit sweet (not to my liking but some might like it). " I ordered hard ramen which is the recommended one. And this time, I tried the Tonkotsu! Space is bigger than the one in Covent Garden but still tad small For some reason, I didn't have to wait long despite being there at 7 pm. I think the queue is not that bad for both shops from what I heard but normally for this place, it is better because they have more seats. Tonkotsu Ramen With Tan-tan (minced pork)
