Does everyone know the Netto sells the BioTech laundry detergent super cheap. The regular little 16 load one, in the three varieties, is sold in most stores for 35DKK. Netto almost always has the BIG one, 26 loads, for 39DKK but right now they have the 20 load bottle for 25DKK. They also occasionally have the honey Cheerios if you are looking for them.
Good Shopping.

Another Awesome Find on the Stroget
Thank you Graciella for showing me this gem of a restaurant - yes it's on the Stroget in Copenhagen, yes it's really good Middle Eastern food, and yes the price is right! It looks small but The Falafel House between the Nørreport end of the Stroget and the Heron Fountain (yes, there are no herons) is really good. They have a great Shawarma, Chicken Shawarma, Kebob platter, hummus and these absolutely weirdly delicious pepperoncini on the counter, try one, yes you must - they are oddly salty and tasty good. And more importantly they have a bathroom!
It looks small but it goes way back and there is plenty of room inside for a large party for lunch.
So Enjoy - The Falafel House, Købmagergade 23, 1150 København K 3315 0439

Kiin Kiin - Molecular Gastronomy in Copenhagen
Wow, that is the first word that comes to mind. I am a devoted food channel viewer and have been fascinated by all the contestants in the cooking competitions that cook using these super cool magic molecular gastronomy techniques but had never had the chance to enjoy the food itself. Well, last night we had the chance to go to Kiin Kiin the Thai restaurant in Nørrebro. It was nothing less then a true adventure.
Very very pricey but very very awesome!
So this adventure started when my husband tried to make an online reservation and to my disappointment texted me to tell me that there were no tables available. Now don't give up, I called them immediately and they said they had a cancellation and would be happy to have us. (If possible tell them that you would like a table in the basement but this is regularly taken by Corporate groups) They asked what time I wanted to arrive which was confusing as I thought we would have to take whatever reservation had cancelled - nope - it is an all night extravaganza so it didn't matter what time we arrived because they had no expectation of us leaving until closing :) I also very casually asked about their VEGETARIAN menu because one of our guests was pregnant, vegetarian (eats fish), and allergic to shellfish. The man on the phone said it was no problem as long as she could eat fish sauce, so okay, reservation made, done done and done.
Well . . . we arrive and it is very nice. They sit us in the main floor lounge and they immediately start bringing us weird and delicious appetizers. One after the other, after the other, after the . . . you get the picture. When the first one arrives the server tells us that one of the four offerings has already been especially prepared for our vegetarian guest. I mentioned this once casually as a question on the phone and from our arrival on she had a special dish for each serving without us having ever mentioned it again.
After finishing our many many appetizers we were shown the nine course menu and taken to our dining table upstairs. Our two gentlemen opted for the wine pairing and us ladies opted for the JUICE PAIRING (when you can't quite figure out what that really sour yet amazing juice tastes like but you just know you know that taste - it is Jolly Ranchers!) Each and every course then had a beverage specially tailored for that dish. I could describe each dish but it would take more room then I have here so suffice it to say that from the deconstructed ice Tom Yum soup through the white chocolate pop rock coconut lollipops it was all very very very good and more importantly a whole lot of fun. Out of nine dishes the last sorbet was our only disappointment.
Following the meal we went back to the main floor for some coffee and tea and surprisingly three or four more desserts arrived while were winding down the evening.
The food is new, exciting and delicious, the service is superb and the price is astronomical so how can you go wrong?
