Sesame Noodle Bar is a cute little noodle restaurant close to Russian Market in Phnom Penh. The restaurant was started by an American/Japanese couple, and the menu, which is not afraid of fusions, has a limited, but appetizing selection of dishes and snacks. I was there 20 minutes before they opened for lunch, but they told me to come inside and have a seat, while they were getting ready, which I think was very nice of them.
When I was a kid, elderflower had not yet made it big, but in recent years it has become so popular in Denmark that I cannot imagine what summer would be like without it. To me, elderflower has become synonymous with Danish summer
In Denmark, we have this meringue-like ice cream topping called guf. It is really easy to make, and it tastes divine, so I’ve been meaning to share the recipe with you for a while.
When Dubai started opening up after the lockdown, we started looking for staycations and ended up booking a night at Fairmont at The Palm. It was nice l to get away from the monotone mass that has been everyday life for the last couple of months, and our timing was just right as the hotel beach clubs were allowed to open again that weekend.
On my last Sephora haul I got the Fresh Sugar On-the-Go Lip Kit Fresh) with mini versions of three different lip products. I had previously tried the Sugar Advanced Therapy, and it worked really well for my lips, but I was unfamiliar with the other two products in the set.
When is the right time to launch? I have been asking myself that question many, many times during the last couple of months, because when you have been working so hard on something, you want to make sure that the timing is just right so your business gets the optimal conditions for succeeding.
In 2007 I spent a little more than a month in Thailand. The main purpose with the trip was to have LASIK eye surgery to meet the medical requirements to obtain my commercial pilot license. The surgery itself did not take more than 20 minutes, and after a week of recovery in Bangkok, there was plenty of time to explore the rest of the country. I traveled with my good friend Lasse, and we visited Phuket and Hua Hin together, and had a great time, but the last 2 weeks I was on my own.
Do you remember my friend Tina and her company Hungry Bird Eats? It was just starting to really take off before covid-19 and I was so happy for her. She has been working really hard for this, and I cannot count the times she has been skipping a night out, so she could get up early in the morning and make the first batch of Nordic crisps before sunrise. Or all the weekends she has spent at local markets promoting her products, talking to customers and networking with other entrepreneurs.
I’ve never been into running, but lately, morning runs have somehow managed to sneak into my morning ritual. I wake up early, so I am ready to start my run each morning at 6am, when the covid-19 night curfew ends.
Recently, I have been craving Sichuan-style dumplings with chili sauce, but they are only available with meat filling at most of the Chinese take-out places, so I thought I would try making some with mushroom filling.
