NLD: Moeders

Image
Bring birthday mums to this restaurant for a surprise! Literally meaning 'mothers', Moeders is a restaurant that's well-loved by locals and tourists alike. For more than 25 years, it's been serving local dishes based on what they claim to be tried-and-tested mothers' and grandmothers' recipes. The menu isn't particularly big though.

NLD: Frens Haringhandel

Enjoying delicious pickled herring near the canal~ Are you a fan of pickled herring? I definitely am, which many of you would've probably guessed from my previous posts. At Frens Haringhandel, a kiosk not far from Bloemenmarkt (lit. Flower Market), you can enjoy more than just that. The family-owned business has been around for more than 25 years.

NLD: Pancakes Amsterdam

Image
Sweet or savoury Dutch pancakes for you? Pancakes Amsterdam serves not only traditional Dutch pancakes with a little twist, but also American pancakes for those who prefer something thicker. Founded in 2007, the brand has grown into four branches in the capital city. My BFF and I visited the branch at Amsterdam Centraal.

NLD: Original Stroopwafels

Image
Do you like your 'stroopwafel' with or without chocolate? There's one thing I absolutely can't afford to miss whenever in the Netherlands. I recall how I was over the moon when I tried stroopwafel (Dutch thin waffle filled with caramel syrup) for the first time in my life. When you're in Amsterdam, simply head to Albert Cuyp Market for a taste of freshly baked ones.

NLD: Café AMOI

Image
The most expensive 'lemper' I've ever had in my life! :P I'd always been wanting to try Indonesian cuisine in the Netherlands. There are so many restaurants to choose from in Amsterdam, but I eventually decided on Café AMOI. It's a trendy eatery that serves not only authentic Indonesian food, but also an array of interesting beverages.

NLD: De Blauwe Hollander

Image
'Stamppot' with a huge meatball! It felt good to be back in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. For lunch, my BFF and I were headed to De Blauwe Hollander (lit. The Blue Dutchman) that has been around since 1979. The name of the restaurant refers to the marines in blue uniforms who were sent to Indonesia and Suriname as permanent representatives of the country.

NLD: McDonald's

Image
Have you tried McKroket and Milkshake Limoen before? Like many people around the world, I've succumbed to the temptation of McDonald's, thanks to globalisation. I've always been interested to discover the menu offered by the Golden Arches in different parts of the world. Let's see what the Netherlands has got to offer.

NLD: Dutch Kitchen

Image
Delectable Dutch croquettes on top of (boring) bread~ Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, the Netherlands is undergoing a major renovation this year. Nevertheless, I had fun exploring the transit area before catching my flight to Jakarta, Indonesia. My BFF and I stopped at Dutch Kitchen to rest our legs and satisfy our hunger pangs.
