During our road trip in Denmark, we had dinner at a small cosy Italian restaurant, Casablanca. It was located by the waterfront in Grenå, right across the Kattegatcentret. It was a nice area, although I must tell you I could be biased because in my opinion, anything near water is nice 
Today we went out to Gourmet Garage again in Kemang, as we needed to do some shopping anyway. We tried out some new dishes at their restaurant. My hubby chose the salmon fried rice and I picked the chicken mushroom pasta. Actually, I am not quite sure what the name of my dish was, but basically it had chicken and mushroom with pasta in creamy sauce. If you want to try it out, just look out for the menu description (obviously).
The salmon fried rice was served with some salad and also chilli in soy sauce. My hubby, being a bule with sensitive stomach, he skipped the chilli in soy sauce of course. But I enjoyed it very much although I could only take some two spoons to try out the dish. It tasted like a typical Chinese fried rice actually, which gives this slight smell of burnt rice (in a good way) but does not taste burnt at all. The salmon was a nice touch – it was the first fried rice ever with salmon that I tasted. In fact, it’s the first time I found this type of dish in any restaurant.
As for my dish, it was very tasty as well, but unfortunately since it was served with cream sauce, it was quite heavy. Hence I could not finish the whole dish, but they were kind enough to pack away the rest into a doggy bag. And this time, it was not for Sam, but for my lunch the next day.
Well, tonight it was not so much cooking than to stir pre-cooked things together like tossing a salad. The menu for tonight was pretty easy, and it was also convenient since my hubby and I arrived a tad late at home and didn’t feel like standing too long in the kitchen to prepare our food. I took this menu from a recipe booklet titled ‘Fast Pasta’ published by Periplus and it was delish. It consisted of pasta of any kind – the recipe called for tagliatelle but I opted for spaghetti – tossed with smoked salmon, finely chopped dill, capers and lemon juice, which were mixed before with pre-melted butter. The taste of smoked salmon was dominant of course (also because I used more than prescribed) but the capers gave it a nice tangy taste (I used capers in vinegar).
I made a little too much as usual, so my food-happy hubby could indulge himself and Sam was then also a happy little pup.
