A Roii Thai Takeaway

Copenhagen has a Thai restaurant that owns a Michelin star - Kiin Kiin, serving Thai food with a modern touch. The restaurant is of course not cheap, but to offer mass public with a more affordable way to enjoy their cuisine, takeaway is available at a more affordable price. The food selection is different from what's being offered in the restaurant but I believe it's from the same kitchen.

My friend stays a stone throw away from Kiin Kiin so we decided to try their takeaway on a Friday evening (of course have it as his place to ensure food's freshness). The takeaway, A Roii, has a small selection but I guess it's okay for a pre-Kiin Kiin try. We ordered: sesame fried prawn with wasabi dip; chicken satay with peanut sauce; green curry with salmon.

The order costed DKK235 (for a takeaway!). It doesn't taste fantastic to me, the prawn was crisp but I didn't taste wasabi in the dip; the chicken satay is nothing compare to those back home and the peanut sauce was watery; and the salmon green curry is definitely new to me. My friend seem to like the salmon curry but I prefer Thai food to be authentic, I think it's nicest that way.
