After retiring from the corporate world, Jensen decided to open Denhygge with the aim of introducing Danish food to local customers here. “Sandwiches, cold dishes and pork are commonly eaten. However, we serve some hot specialities as well,” said Jensen.
Possibly the first true blue Danish cafe in Klang Valley, DenHygge features classic Danish food, run by Danish native Niels and his Russian wife Olga. Hygge means cozy and comfortable – a feeling of contentment and well-being, and stepping in the cafe really feels like you’ve entered their home, replete with a warm crackling ‘fireplace’. Clean lines and minimalist-style Scandinavian looks you in the eye.
The Mala Shandong Squid will be the reason for our returning visit, as we are also intrigued by the ramen/udon.
So, my maiden trip to Maria’s Steakcafe proved worth the calories – a good place to bring the family or friends for celebration without busting the budget.
We’ve tried a lot of fish head noodles in the Klang Valley – and we can say that Soon Soon serves one of the better ones, with a very distinctive orange-hue to make it memorable. The fish cakes here are excellent too! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Overall, we thought both CKT plates were underwhelming. While it had enough wok hei, we found it a bit lacking in taste (no umami) and the cockles were a bit too small as well for a satisfying finish.
♥Verdict: Definitely a new culinary experience to me since this was my first time trying Macanese food. I can’t say I was bowled over by the food but for those who never try Macanese food, this place worth a try for some excitement to your taste bud.
In the grilled form – the salmon was so tender and juicy! The karaage was good too as batter was crunchy and chicky was tender. The set came with rice, miso soup, salad, chawanmushi, pickled veggie, tuna and fruits.
7.5/10. Overall, a solid dinner. Can’t really go wrong with this place. A really cozy ambience with high quality food. (Honestly speaking, as far as restaurants go - as in not Omakase - this is definitely on the higher range in terms of quality of salmon sashimi).
While not Halal-certified, the kitchen sources all its produce from Halal-approved suppliers and thus, is Muslim-friendly. Prices are actually quite reasonable and it is a good place for casual family gatherings as well as a lunch spot for office workers nearby.
