Copenhagen | Jatak: Nordic Ingredients Meet Asian Flavors🌟🍽️
My Danish food journey began at Jatak —a new hotspot praised by Noma's chefs! Chef Jonathan Tam (Canadian-Chinese, ex-Noma, former head chef at 1-star Relæ) opened Jatak in early 2022 and snagged a Michelin star in just six months . 🎩⭐ The guide’s cover photo of uni churros had me drooling... but it’s off the menu now. While some dishes shone (P1’s highlights): ▪️ "Chili Oil" Oyster Steamed Egg : A crispy-yet-mild twist on spice, with silky egg and shredded potatoes—unexpected but harmonious! 🥚🌶️ ▪️ Fjord Shrimp Rice Bowl : Danish raw shrimp + Japanese Koshihikari rice + Romanesco, drizzled with non-spicy Indonesian sambal . 🍤🍚 ▪️ Japanese Cheesecake : Flawless texture, lightly sweet—pastry chef deserves a standing ovation! 👏🍰 Misses : ▪️ The overly fatty pork trio (with lackluster mustard sauce) and bland ramson noodle soup (though I learned "bear leek" is adorable 🐻🌱). Pro tip : Book the kitchen counter to watch wok-tossing and plating magic! 🔥🍳 #Denmark #Copenhagen #NordicCuisine #FineDining #MichelinStar #FoodieAdventure
