We're in Copenhagen. In Taiwan, we're gourmands. So in Denmark, we can't lose to Danes either. Let's stuff ourselves with great Danish food! For our first overseas episode, we have a sponsor. Thanks to Philips Electronics for the sponsor. Now, let's rewind 20 minutes, that was before we set out. Hello, everyone. I just woke up. Today, we have a photo shoot outdoors. But I've got a problem. My shirt is so wrinkled. Will handsome European men like a disheveled me? What should I do? No worries. It's not a problem. -We can use the Philips Handheld Steamer. -Wow! It's very portable, easy to take everywhere. Hence we brought it to Europe. What about the photo shoot? What are we most afraid of? -Looking disheveled. -That's right. Let us iron the shirt. Unlike other steamers, it has this thoughtful switch. It will only get hot when it's turned on. So it's very safe. -Oh, because you could get burned by accident. -Yes. I'll explain more while I iron.

But this is how it looks after ironing. The Philips handheld steamer. Don't miss out on the promotion. Get on it! Our trip expenses will depend on you guys. (Pretty please) -Now, let's go eat some Danish food. -Go! First time trying Denmark Gogoro. Whoa... Be careful. Bye-bye! Hahaha. Ahhhh! This is the first place. I can't read it. REINH van HAUEN. I heard their cinnamon rolls are amazing. -We'll try it. -Let's eat. We're like illiterates here. We can't speak the language nor read it. Gosh, the display looks so pretty. It looks really good. Oh dear. There's so much I want to eat already at the first stop. Our breakfast. This is a recommendation from a Danish fan. She recommended this bakery. This is the must-eat cinnamon roll. And this also looks really good. We also ordered this. Cheesecake made lemon curd. We asked them to reheat the roll for us. Let's give it a try. It's filled with cinnamon in the middle. Is it like sugar syrup? Look at the inside. Wow, full of filling. It's very moist. Together with the icing on top, it gives a crunchy texture. Warm and fluffy. It's the kind that melts in your mouth. It's the first time -seeing a cinnamon roll with filling. -Right. The cinnamon is made into a sort of jam. Moist, fluffy, warm. The taste of cinnamon isn't as strong as I expected. -Yes. -The ratio of cinnamon is lesser. It's actually more sweet than anything. But it's still good. Has a very nice texture. Crispy outer and moist inside. Finally, I'm drinking a latte on a sidewalk in Europe. (Latte - 42kr / 174TWD) -It's bitter. -Hahaha. It really wakes you up. Very potent. Milky. The taste of milk is not as strong. But it's very fragrant. Hold on. Guys. Handsome guy alert. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. -So tall and handsome. -Hahaha. So many handsome men in Denmark. Let's try this cheesecake that we bought. I like this. It's very milky. So rich. It's a very airy mousse that melts easily. Isn't it so tasty? It's airy. Even the biscuit at the bottom is airy. -Yes. -The biscuit layer is light and fluffy. It's really refreshing coupled with the strawberry on top. It's a bit tangy. Very delicious. (Big love) -It's not cloying. -Yeah. I can have two of this. The main thing is that there's a tangy jam similar to a lemon tart in the middle. This one is so good. (The spoon agrees) %%% The first meal is a banger. We've come to Frederik's Church. It's so beautiful. Frederik's Church is also known as the Marble Church. It commemorates the 300th anniversary
of the Oldenburg dynasty's ascension to the Danish throne. Initially, the church was supposed to be built using only marble. But the cost was too high. So limestone was used to finish it. But still, it's called the Marble Church. Like a brag. It's beautiful up close. So grand. Wow! It's beautiful. It's very grand in person. Because the carvings on top and stone pillars are really intricate and elegant. Exquisite workmanship. Chiayi just had a new construction, right? I won't name names. But the European style is a mess. Please stop building those. We can build something with our own flavor. Or something with design sense. Why do something that's neither here nor there? -Mix and match. -Half glass full kind of. Hideous. So hideous. The dome on top of the church has a diameter of 30 meters. We've come to the front. So grand! Every alley leads to something beautiful. Gosh. (Wrinkly Nene) Why the wrinkled face? I mean, it's beautiful everywhere you look. With every step, it feels like you're physically and mentally cleansed. So pretty. So many details in their way of life. Full of design and elegance. For aesthetics fanatics like us, we're like fish in water. (Hopping merrily) Moreover, it's almost election season in Taiwan. The city's appearance is truly hideous. You get all the posters and I can't stand it. Because they're so ugly. So I have no intention of voting for them. Now we're going to try a very old Danish restaurant. CAFE PETERSBORG. -I think that's how you read it. -Hahaha. Feels like it's been around for a long time. The interior is so retro. We'll sit here. -Food is here. -Here's our order. I have to properly introduce this to you guys. It's Denmark's national dish. It's called "tartare." Basically it's raw beef mixed with egg yolk. Usually, the pictures online show it served in a mound. Like a cake. But this is how it looks here. Are you guys okay with raw beef? When you say national dish, is it similar to lo bah png in Taiwan? Xiaolongbao or lo bah png. -Something like that. -Oh. You get to choose what kind of bread you want. I think there's butter on it. He recommended this to me. He said it's more Danish. This is how Danes would traditionally eat it. What's with the expression? Where do I start? Do I pour the sauce? Gosh, I'm such an Asian bumpkin. How do I eat it? We'll pour the sauce and try it. There are raw yolk, bread, raw beef, and veggies. Whether it's the egg or beef, you actually can't tell that they're raw. Oh? It's similar to eating a sandwich. Because there's the buttered bread at the bottom. It's kind of like cheese. Overall, it's not too shocking. I mean it's not as scary as we think. It's actually quite good. I think it's like their traditional open sandwich. Right. There's rye bread at the bottom and then... An open sandwich means you can keep adding things on top. As much as you like. -It's like a cold dish. -Yes. I put a lot of cheese. Here you go. I feel like I'm eating a chilled salmon sandwich. That's the feeling. It's not too shocking or scary. I really like the cheese with the rye bread. -The texture when piled together. -Mmm. Very fragrant. It's very European. As for this dish, we kept searching for it online. "Sun Devil" kept popping up. Sun Devil, Sun Devil. When we asked the waiter, he didn't understand. They call it "tartare" here. If you wish to try, just order "tartare" and they'll know. I had to show him a picture. Then he went, "Oh, oh." When I said "Sun Devil"... (What???) -His expression... -Hahaha. -Spot-on impersonation. -A very dubious look. Xiaoxian ordered fried herring. There's bread underneath. Let's try Xiaoxian's first. Wow. Strong seafood taste. Very fragrant. Because the fish is fried. There's fresh shrimp and also caviar. The seafood taste is really strong. On top of that, the fragrance of being deep fried. It's a taste we're more used to. -Oh. -Yes. This is really delicious. For the bread, I recommend ordering rye bread. It has a really strong characteristic. Very exotic. Sorry, guys. I can't read it. But this is the sandwich. Sorry, I can't read it. This is for your reference if you want to try it. We're now heading to a popular attraction. We were going to go straight to Nyhavn. But someone wanted to take photos with The Little Mermaid. It's what we read in Geography textbooks. Let's go check it out then. -The Little Mermaid. -Hahaha. Xiaoxian really wants to take photos with it. We're passing through a park. Wow, it's beautiful. We'll pass through this on the way to The Little Mermaid. It's called Kastellet. From Google Earth, you can see it's a fortress in the shape of a star. Oooh. The viewers must be wondering how come Nene knows so much. Well, I was known as the Geography Genius last time. (Self-proclaimed) Google is very useful. Shut up. (Drooling) The way to The Little Mermaid is a tourist attraction. Do you see the details on this statue? There's water splashing out from the bull's nose. Can you see? Okay. Look at the crowd. In front is the well-known The Little Mermaid statue. Full of people. The Little Mermaid statue was made by a Danish sculptor in 1912 based on Andersen's wife. So the statue is over 100 years old. You've seen The Little Mermaid. Are you happy? (Hard-to-read expression) What does that mean? Are you happy or not? It's like I saw the real thing that was in textbooks. That's it. That's how it looks. Next up is the famous Amalienborg. Currently, it is home to the Danish royal family. This is a very grand and spacious square. There are guards. Are they handsome? Let's zoom in and see. Oh, that one is more handsome. Straight this way is Frederik's Church we previously saw. When you visit, do come here for a stroll. (Asian creature) Take a stroll and take some pics. The guard is very handsome. I think you can take pictures, but not too close. I'm going to take pics. (Infatuated dummy) We did get his permission before we took the photo. He had such a manly voice. I said, thank you. He said, you're welcome. (Baritone voice) Hahaha. Ta-da! Copenhagen Nyhavn. This is what you see in postcards and textbooks. Search for Copenhagen online and these colorful buildings are the first thing you'll see. Oh, means the Taiwanese tried to copy it. Do you mean Zheng XX Fishing Port in Keelung? This port has existed since the 17th century, you know. This has to be THE tourist attraction in Copenhagen. -So many people here. -So many. Imagine it like Copenhagen's Tamsui. What? That's not very exciting. Talking about that. -Tamsui has a lot of ice cream, right? -Yeah. We're going to check out an ice cream parlor here too. Let's go. This is the place we're trying. Forgive me for not being able to read. Wow. Since 1953. Business is so good. So many people. Ice cream. We got the one with sprinkles. You can add a topping. We got chocolate rice topping. Looks very cute. Everyone who comes here has to eat this. Just like you go to Tamsui -and eat the 30 cm tall ice cream. -Yes. Giant ice cream. It's similar to Xiaomei ice cream. What? You try. It tastes exactly the same. Even the texture is alike. It's the type that is more creamy. Not the watery kind. -You could say it's like whipped cream. -Mmm. -I think it's the perfect tourist ice cream. -Yes. It's not extraordinary. But it's okay to try. The taste of the chocolate rice topping reminds me of those cheap chocolates. -Like TapXl chocolate. -TapXl. DKK55 plus a 5 bucks worth of this. That would be more than 200TWD. Wow... The waffle cone. They make the cone on site. It's slightly burnt and crispy. It's pretty nice. Very fragrant. Kongens Nytorv. The biggest square in Denmark since the 17th century. The statues here all look so cool. I feel like it would open a secret chamber if I press it. Is this a switch? (Too imaginative) Push this wall. Push the wall. (Push to go where?) Police. Police. Now we're going to try the food trucks that are everywhere in Denmark. This one sells hot dogs. Freshly-made hot dog. The bun is more solid. Solid. Unlike the soft hot dog buns we're used to. -Yes. -Let's take a bite. It's so salty. It has a very strong taste. There are so many flavors. I think there are garlic pieces in there. The sausage itself is nicely salted. The sauce is very salty, and the pickles are too. Even the mustard is salty. Very strong flavors. -I think... -You need to stop saying "nicely salted." Yeah, people complained that I use the term a lot. Well, I'm not a dictionary. That's all the terminology I know. What do you expect? -You can teach us something new. -Yeah. Oh, it's salty and sour. And it's really salty. -It's salty, right? -Yeah. Wait. There's a hunk sitting beside me. Isn't he handsome? You know, there are so many handsome men on the streets. (Why are you licking your fingers?) It has very strong flavors but I must say it's the most texturally rich hot dog I've ever had. Refreshing pickles and crunchy garlic flakes. There's even mustard seed in the mustard. I think it's actually delicious. -It's just... -Not flat. Just that the flavor is strong. We're walking on a shopping street. It's really lively here. Next up is KONDITORI LA GLACE. Too many people. It's a cafe established in 1870. 150 years of history. Hold on, look at the queue. I heard the cakes are amazing. Eating in has a wait time of over 2 hours. So we decided to take away. Check out the cakes. -So pretty. -So lovely. There are many kinds. Let's buy a few to try. The inside of the shop. It's very busy. Business is so good. Got it. -Let's unbox the 100-year-old shop's cakes. -Are they good? I really can't pronounce their names. But I think this is caramel with walnut whipped cream. And this one is sort of a chocolate tart. Wow. Look at the thick whipped cream in the middle. Do you guys see his legs? Hahaha. It's so good! -I've reached the climax. -Hahaha. It's really good. Try it. The whipped cream... Right? The whipped cream is marvelous! Very smooth and rich. You also get walnut bits within the whipped cream. The whipped cream is light. Doesn't feel cloying. Very smooth. It melts in your mouth. Together with the caramel and walnut on top. This cake is very delicious. There's only one big walnut on each cake. The walnut is dipped in caramel. It's crunchy. I think this place is worth trying. So good. The chocolate tart Nene bought by mistake. This one looks normal. I had wanted to order the... -The chocolate mousse with chocolate powder on top. -Yeah. This looks quite plain. Let's try it. Hold on. Is the filling vanilla custard? I see vanilla seeds. Don't judge a book by its cover? -Ahahaha. -Hahaha. What does that mean? It's a chocolate-coated puff. It's really good. -So it has an outer layer like a puff? -Yes. And it's covered in thick chocolate ganache. (What is it?) So sinful. (Big thumbs-up) Something caught our attention. This. Taste of Taiwan. We're going to inspect how authentic it is. And it's bubble tea. Let me try your bubble tea. Gosh, the pride of tea shops has come to Denmark. Wait. The boba are the popping ones. What? I ordered the bubble tea. Let's drink. I'm actually quite nervous. The boba isn't the popping ones? These are traditional boba. I'll have a taste. I'm nervous. Why am I nervous? Nervous for no reason. -Worried it's not the Taiwanese authentic taste? -Yeah. You guys should be nervous. Sorry, I just want to ask you. Ahmm...where did you buy your... -bag? -Bag. Backpack. I think is a brand of Hong Kong. Oh, you from Hong Kong? No, no, I'm from Taiwan. I can show you the brand. Oh, thank you. That will be great. -It's called Morn Creations. -Okay. -Thank you. -You're welcome. Have a great day. You too. My bag is too cute. (Bubble tea - 45kr / 186TWD) Hey. It's not bad. It's not bad, right? It's like the creamer type. -I think it's worth 7. -Yes, about 7 or 8. It's better than a lot of tea shops in Taiwan. Not bad. Hey. Good job. Nice work, you. I think the shop owner is Taiwanese. Because they have collection point cards. Stuff that only Taiwanese would do. This is jasmine green tea. Oh, the tart kind of green tea. Like those sold at night markets, without sugar. -It does feel kind of familiar. -It's quite authentic. Yes, pretty authentic. Okay, Taste of Taiwan passes. But don't get the popping boba. But I noticed that foreigners like popping boba. -We had popping boba in Turkey too. -Yeah. I think foreigners prefer popping boba. Popping boba is unorthodox. You can try this if you miss Taiwan. I think this is like... This? Bubble tea? Bubble tea. Yeah. Taste of Taiwan. Taste of Taiwan? Ya, we're from Taiwan. -Don't like this one. -You don't like it? (Taiwan Tourism Ambassador?) -The fruit. -You like the fruit? People seem to love talking to me. Guess I'm too cute. Hahahaha. The one we saw just now. The foreigner said he doesn't like this type. He likes the boba with fruit juice inside. Oh, I see. Know your stuff. Hahahaha. This is Strøget. It's the Ximending of Denmark. Hahaha. You can think of it like that. Copenhagen City Hall. Think of it as the Taipei City Government. It's much prettier. Hush. You know what? Beside Denmark Central Station is a 200-year-old amusement park. TIVOLI. But we're not going there. Because we're going to an even nicer amusement park. Here's a little preview. I really recommend you to cycle in the city of Denmark. There are many bicycle apps. Which to choose? From what I've tried, Bolt is the most user-friendly. Because it's widely available. -You can find it all over. -Yes. They have docking stations almost everywhere. There's another brand. It died while I was halfway cycling. We saw another along the way, and we changed the bike but it also died. My legs almost fell off cycling. Same for me when I took over after. -So tiring, right? -Yes. OMG. I think we've come to a residential area. This area is so beautiful. This building is new but has a great design. The Nordic countries are amazing. As expected. -The happiest country in the world. -The happiest country in the world. This Hallernes... It sells open sandwiches. I can't read it. Do you guys know which country consumes the most pork in the world? That's right. It's Denmark. They love eating pork. In order to find this, we cycled far and wide. We went to 3 or 4 places. Ta-da. This is their pork ball. How many places did we go to? -At least 3 or 4. -Yes. -All the cycling almost killed me. -Cycled for long distances. So we went for the next best thing and chose this. It's an open sandwich with pork ball. The restaurant's sitting area is so lovely. Gosh, look at this view. The cashier that took my order just now is so handsome. Do you guys see him? The blonde, handsome guy. And he was so nice to me. He said, "I saved the last one for you." Hahaha. (Infatuated middle-aged auntie) Because this is the last meatball. They just couldn't sell it. Because they're closing. -Let's eat. -Hahaha. The meatball looks dry. Let me try. -Super dry. -Ahahaha. Let me take a bite of the middle part with the sauce. -The middle part with salad and coriander is pretty good. -Mmm. Although it's a little dry, the seasoning is quite good. The taste of pork is good too. No gamey taste. So we went through all the trouble just to let you all know, Denmark has the highest pork consumption in the world. Thanks, guys. A place with more pigs than humans? Yes, the pigs reared are more than the human population. But I didn't see any pigs. You think they rear them in the city? Of course not. Don't be silly. We had wanted to introduce a place for grilled pork. OMG, Closed. Private Party. Thanks. Happens even when I'm overseas. Thank you, guys. The Denmark Food Trip will be happily wrapped up at this bar. What a cute restaurant. (Awesome atmosphere!) So joyful. Hahaha, so cute. This place is great. This is Ariel, who introduced all the great restaurants to us. -Cheers! -Thanks for inviting me. (Gifting lucky charm to Copenhagen) We have this for you. Check it out. -It's a lucky charm I made. -My goodness. It's so cute. Since I'm so lucky, I thought I should share it with everyone. I'm going to cry. This is a traditional Danish dish. What is it called? (In Danish) Okay, thanks. -We didn't get that. Hahaha. -Hahaha. We also ordered stir-fried mushrooms. And stir-fried beef with sunny-side-up and mashed potato. It's like hamburger steak with a sunny-side-up. It's really good. What is he doing? Just now... -Was that a Danish auntie? -Yes. She told me we're really lucky. Because she said the weather has been good these days. It was raining before. -Here's a witness. -I am. It was very cold and rainy. There was no sun. -So the weather turned sunny when I came. -Yes. -Hahaha. -So it's really true? -Because you're the lucky charm. -Yes, I am. I didn't think you guys would actually come. She happily replied to us. She helped prepare a whole stack, nicely prepared, with maps and everything. I thought, wow! What's this? It was like a full-on presentation. And there's something I found so serendipitous. You know what? Her name is Ariel. The mermaid in Andersen's fairy tale is named Ariel. So we came to Denmark to look for Ariel. And we found Ariel. -Isn't it amazing? -Indeed. -Thank you. We're so happy to meet you -Thanks. -in person in Denmark. -Hahaha. Don't I look adorable in person? Yes, you're adorable. -Ahahaha. -Thanks.
