Today I was out shopping with my girlfriend in the so called China-town here in Copenhagen. It has its name because of the many small Chinese convenient stores there, but it doesn’t look like the traditional “china towns” we see in the (other) big cities around the world. The picture shows the catch of a normal grocery shopping trip. Unfortunately they didn’t have my favorite food, 3 boxed bolognese pizzas for 20kr anywhere. Instead i found something else; The Chinese equivalent of one of the wonders of the world, FLAN. It is the bag in the lower left corner that contains the divine treat. The English translation says something about “almond soybean cheese” and when I saw that I just had to buy it. That description, combined with the picture on the package made me drewl like a spastic puppy… well not exactly, but I just had to buy this interesting version of the dessert of the wealthy: flan.
By the way, the new temporary top banner is because of the Chinese New Year this Saturday. We will now enter the year of the dog. I myself am a sheep, which of course is a symbol of strength, wisdom and courage. What are you?
