Hola everyone!

OMG! Durian! I love durian so much. I know a lot of peple hate the smell and taste of it, and believe me, i know how you feel. I used to HATE durian. But when i moved to The Philippines, my mom was always trying to get me to eat some durian. I hated it. But then something changed when all of off the blue, i asked if i could taste some more, and then more, and more! I got addicted to it!
It only took me like 12 years before i finally liked durian. So don't give up on durian just yet. Just try eating maybe a spoon of it, once in a while, and then eventually you might fall in love...haha..

So today i'm reviewing frozen durian, which i got from a Chinese store near the Copenhagen station. My mom and i were so happy that Denmark has some durian that you can buy. Because when we moved to Denmark, durian was one of the foods i really missed. Now, we finally can have some. But it's not as good as the fresh Filipino durian, of course.

But i would really recommend you to try some frozen durian, especially if you don't like the smell. It's not as smelly. Also frozen durian tastes like...ICE CREAM! Also i also recommend for you to try to blend some durian with some banana, to camouflage the smell.

Please do try some frozen durian. You'll love it!
And all you pinoy people here in Denmark, we can still eat durian even in Denmark! Whoohoo!!

Thanks for reading,...

Vegan food review ep 1: Pansit Canton by Lucky me

Bought from: Gulay at prutas in Copenhagen

Hello Everyone!

So i decided to start a new series where i review vegan food i find in the different grocery stores that i go to. I haven't found any blog like that where they review vegan food from ordinary grocery stores.

For this first episode i am reviewing my favorite vegan junk food from back in the day when i lived in The Philippines.  I used to always eat this especially when i was sick or felt sad. Such a yummy comfort food.

I stumbled across this while i was looking in a mini grocery pinoy store in Copenhagen called "Gulay at prutas". I was so excited to be reunited! I haven't eaten this since 5-6 years ago.

Definitely recommend you squeeze some lemon or calamansi on top. This will make the noodles taste even more amazing!

It's so cool that this is vegan, because it tastes like Chicken! SO yummy!!

Sadly it's not gluten free, so i really shouldn't be eating this, since i'm sensitive to gluten. But i just had to taste it again, and it tastes amazing still! But i'm not buying it again, not worth the rashes.

But if you are not gluten sensitive then i highly recommend this pansit canton to you. Also check out Prutas at Gulay in Copenhagen near Tivoli. They have tons of Filipino food.

Thanks for reading!

Copycat Cooking ep 15: Dill & Red Onion Salad Dressing

Camera: Canon EOS 600D
Time to make this: 45 minutes

Hello fellow blogger friends!

I started off by making a simple salad consisting of spinach, parsley, bell peppers & salt.

I didn't have any pepper which was sad. I think pepper would fit perfectly.

I love the sourness and the sweetness. Super yummy and really easy.

Try the recipe out, you will love it!

Dancing with the stars (danish version) aka Vild med dans episode 3 live show

I took this picture from my seat on table nr.7

Hello everyone!!

So i just came home from a very exciting night. As you can see from the title, i went to the Vild med dans live show today, and i had a blast! 

It was my 2nd time going to the show. The 1st time i went there (about 3 years ago) we went to watch the rehearsal, today we went to watch the live show. I loved it! If you ever have the chance to watch VMD i would suggest going to the live show, since there's more energy from the dancers and they really give it their all. But if you want to see some bloopers then watch the rehearsals.

VMD is filmed in a place called Metronome studios in Copenhagen. The stage is pretty small and the seating area is pretty tight. haha. My feet hurt really bad after the show. We were seated at the front, just about 10cm away from some of the dancers family members. So if you are claustrophobic, you might consider going for the seats at the back were you will have lots more space.

There was this one guy (the guy in a black t-shirt in the picture above) who was entertaining the audience in the commercial breaks, and before & after the show. He's such a funny guy. You won't be bored that's for sure! He also would give signs when to laugh and clap. 

What i loved a lot was that there was live music. The three main singers were amazing. Such beautiful voices. I was watching them a lot during the show. They seemed to have fun.

I don't really watch danish tv show i didn't really know that many of the dancers, but i still has lots of fun, but i didn't have a fan girl moment, like some in the audience...haha.

I really loved Silas, Jenna Bagge and Thomas. 

My OOTN at the live show

Lastly here's a picture of what i wore. I decided to go with a black and white theme. All of my clothing are from H&M.

All in all i had an amazing night and feel very lucky to have been able to watch the show live. I know lots of people would love to watch the show live and i wish the studio could be bigger so more people could watch.

Anyways, thanks for watching!

Time to make this: 15 minutes

Hello fellow blogger friends!


So this copycat cooking episode is a bit of a fail. The only ingredients that i had was frozen blueberries and strawberry & blueberry soy yogurt. But it was still tasty.

I let it freeze in the freezer overnight.

It was really tasty and creamy, so i would definitely do this again.

Time to make this: 50 minutes

Hello fellow blogger friends!

So who doesn't LOVE tacos, right? I have always loved tacos, definitely my favorite food. I always eat homemade tacos on my birthdays, and since mine is coming up in a few weeks, i though i should try a new recipe out. This recipe is awesome, and extremely yummy!

For the taco "meat" i used red onion instead of white. I love red onions, and they make you cry a lot less!

I used my favorite taco mix from Mex & co and it smells like heaven. I love it so much that i put 2 tbsp of it in.

I didn't have cilantro so i used my favorite herb, parsley instead.

The taco "meat" was my favorite part, it tastes so good!

Guys you have to try this recipe out, it will change you life!! So good!

Thanks for reading!

Copycat Cooking ep 12: apple sandwiches with date caramel + almond butter

Camera: Canon EOS 600D
Time to make this: 30 minutes

Hello fellow blogger friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful summer. Denmark is starting to get into the fall season already... But it does't matter, i love fall!

Celebrating Autumn, i decided to make this yummy caramel apple sandwich. I really am missing gluten, so i thought i should find a gluten free sandwich recipe, and i found this one!

I was so excited to make this, because Emily's recipe looked so good! But i didn't want to make mine with too much fat so i doubled the caramel, and made my own almond butter. To make the butter, i just blended soaked almonds with water and some vegan butter.

Also i didn't blend the caramel since mine isn't strong enough, i just used a fork to mash it.

When i was done, i was super excited to try it, and OMG it tasted like HEAVEN!

The almond butter tasted like whipped cream.

I definitely recommend this recipe to you guys.

Check Emily's recipe bellow...
