Dalle Valle
(located on food lvl of Feild's Shopping Center)

Click here for ABBA location of Fields Arne Jacobsens Allé 12, 2300 København S
Dalle Valle offers daily brunch and dinner buffets at 79DKK/99DKK respectively. A nice setting with high ceilings and a value meal in Copenhagen? This is definitely the one meal to settle it all.

The spread features a sampling of traditional Danish food, which includes crispy pork, pickled fish, red cabbage and rye bread. This place has got it all and more to offer.

Ordered On:

The food spread is as remembered from 6years ago.
 
 
Great selection for a bargain price really. There's a discount special of half price but requires an order of a drink. (Although a free to download app and coupon but staff would just apply it with a drink order.) A small fee about 20++DKK for Free flow water is allowed too which works up to kr87.46DKK(17SGD). A steal price for a FULL meal with any simple sandwich or drink would go for about 40DKK each already.

They have a mix of all, simple curries, danish meats, cold cuts, pizzas and an impressive, all-be-it slightly over dressed salad range! Will still recommend for the value eat.

 *Their cold selection was pretty standard fair. Corn and rock melons were really sweet. Loads of greens, olives and cold pastas to choose from*
 *Their hot dish selection, especially their crispy pork were really good. There's baked pasta, chicken and pasta with usual serving of fries and chips.*
Fed2 at100DKK each

RAF Museum
12Mach2017

located approximately 50mins out form Gloucester Station



Getting to the RAF museum is dead simple. With easy to follow signages and a short 15min walk from Colindale Station gets you to the RAF museum.
Entry is free and the museum is open daily from 10am, perfect for indoor activities.
Don’t judge a book by its cover. Though from the outside it looks like a decrepit building, but the unassuming exterior hides a huge collection of world war airplanes.

An impressive collection spanning the ages packed into massive hangers. The huge grounds provides great photo opportunities and a chance to get up close to the airplanes and choppers.
The only down side is that the lighting in the hangers don’t provide the best colors for photography so some manual white balancing is required.
Cafe and free wifi available on site. Highly recommended to visit and one of the largest aviation museums I’ve been come across so far. USS midway located in and around Los Angeles is another excellent aircraft carrier to visit, with volunteers ex-pilots and operates on deck to share their knowledge and experience.

Art of The Brick - DC
opens till 3rdSep2017 
Go on Mondays as it goes for 10 pounds
As per the advertisement poster which I spotted along the subway. The Art of The Brick: DC Super Heroes inspired by DC Characters, features the works of Nathan Sawaya. The works includes over 120 large scale exhibits made from over 2 million Lego bricks and is a 2min walk from Waterloo Station.

Probably for the 10 pound saver/student fee, I'd say its a worth while exhibition. I don't have a bench mark to compare this to, but I thought it was a good showing of different stylistic techniques to sticking to the DC theme. The Villains section was strikingly good actually and the overall dioramas helped bring the pieces together
There's a lot more on the inside and shan't spoil the surprises here.

It's worth 1hour of your viewing pleasure, and the background hero music does help set the mood. The exhibition is said to be running till 3rd of September, so please check before turning up. Tickets maybe bought at the door . A definite can/must go for Lego and DC/Comic Fans.

Rice Paper Roll with pork and prawns AUD8
*Pretty standard Viet rolls. This came recommended but you can pretty much imagine the texture and taste.*
Combination beef hofan soup AUD12
*The standard go to Vietnamese dish. Good soup which wasn't over salty and a whole lot of noodles. The meat could have been a little more generous, and personally preferred slightly under cooked but the fresh vegetables was plentiful. In comparison to the current bench mark of Pho Ta Hoa (SFO), it just get edged out by the amount of meat it serves here.*
Egg Noodle with crispy fried chicken AUD12
*Now this is an interesting order and worth it. The noodles are very similar to thin egg noodles. They are glazed with a semi sweet sauce that's refreshing and goes well with the fried chicken. A nice set meal that comes with soup too. This is variation to the mee pok dry served in Pho Tan Hoa (SFO) and worth a try!* 
Vietnamese white coffee cold AUD4 x2
*Good deep flavor, but somehow the song and dance of having the coffee actual drip down into a cup at Pho Tan Hoa (SFO) still does it for myself. As seen, its more ice than actual coffee. In both places, taking it straight up is way too sweet and needs another cup of hot water to dilute it further, plus it stretches one's drink*

 Fed 2 At 19AUD each
Apart from the paper roll, the rest were good Vietnamese eats! Ingredients for the noodle broth could be a little bit more generous as mentioned but with the free flow of bean and chili sauce more than makes up for it!

The egg noodle dish would be my next order if looking for simple eats in and around the north bridge area.
