Food in Amsterdam

If you know me personally, yummy food is one of my top priority regardless where i am. Did a research on Amsterdam, and boy, too many. I only managed to try out a few. Sad but well, i want to go back!

Seriously this is my favorite food in Amsterdam. This is smoke herring fish. If you love smoke fish, pls remember to try this. If i ever go back, this is my first choice. If you ever go to Amsterdam, pls remember to try this. I tried 2 different stores. One was too salty, so try more to get the right one for you. It is so Gooood.

Stroopwafel. It was freshly made. We tried a few stores as well. The best one is the one outside the Rijksmuseum. If you happen to see the store in the picture, try it. no regret there.

 

 We walked pass this meat-selling store that was really crowded. Since we are there, we tried their food. Well, it is just normal and a bit dry. Personally, i think i wasted my calories on it. 

Vlaamse Frites. The store i tried was Manneken Pis. They are actually fries but in different texture i think. I love potatoes, so maybe i am bias when i think they taste wonderful. 

 

And cheese!!! I love cheese. Haha. Amsterdam cheeses seems to be milder or should i say less smell compare to others. But i might be wrong as i did not taste so much to conclude. Let me try more. The reason for this is to remind myself, i like the cheese i had in Amsterdam. 

These are not all the food I had ate. There were actually much much more but I realised i did not take photos of them. Like the fried food vending machine (I like it because it is fried food plus vending machine), different kinds of waffles and pancakes, sandwiches (I love the beef tartar sandwich), Heineken and etc. I don't know why no photo was taken. And now, I only have myself to blame. =_=

Amsterdam Day 2

We did not want to rush during our time in Amsterdam, so we woke up quite late. Enough sleep is very important for me. I play harder after a good sleep. =)  After a good night sleep, breakfast is of course super needed. Our breakfast destination is Albert Cuyp Market. It will be the best place to have their local delights and Fruits! I've heard their oranges and strawberries are really really really good.

 

The entrance to the market. Most people are on their bikes which is really convenient for them. As I mention earlier, the bicycle track are all around Amsterdam. I actually love this idea, but i doubt we can do it in Singapore, or can we? 

Along the market. I love it. I don't know what's not to like in this. Even the weather is good for outdoor market. I love the food, the atmosphere, the people, etc.

I love love this. So pretty. If only i stay in Amsterdam, I will buy them every week. How nice. One can only wish. =(

What is Holland famous for? Windmill!!! Since we don't have much time in Amsterdam, we went to the nearby Windmill, cater for tourist I believe. Zaanse Schans is very near Amsterdam. Convenient is the key. =)

 

Windmills

If you are there, you would see how Mr Chong's eyes light up upon seeing this. No idea why he has this special feeling for ducks and swan, but they are cute nevertheless. They love human i think.

I love cheese. They provide free cheese tasting. Yummy.

We went to the cafe and this is the view. I want to go back to Amsterdam badly. I don't know why but i want to go back.

We went to the red light district after dinner tonight. Everything was really great. Even I don't understand but I really like Amsterdam.They are like this hidden gem that no one can resist. If you can, go to Amsterdam. I love everything there. Remember to visit everything I just mention.

Amsterdam : Day 1

Is a wonderful place to stay in. The people there are generally happy and friendly. The thing to get used is their cycling track. I keep forgetting about the track and almost committed suicide so many times! Lucky, the cyclists there are pretty fast to avoid me. =)

The pathway underneath the apartment I was staying. Decided to try out Airbnb, so instead of hotel room, I stayed in a stranger's home. How cool right. My very first time. As I was staying in the suburb, it was actually very peaceful. As you can see from the photo above, not much people on the street. For this, I love it.

As this is my first time, I decided to walk to the museum instead of taking public transport. Passed by this park by accident, Vondel Park. It was really nice to walk in a park in the cooling weather. Fresh air and peaceful mind.

Rijksmuseum

I did not managed to reach in time for this museum. The exterior look good though.

Van Gogh Museum

I love it. Nope, I am not one of those arty farty person. I don't think I know art actually. But I still love it. Especially the painting with the skull smoking.

The canal along the road. Love any place with nice canal (keyword is nice).

A small and nice-looking church nearby the park.

My post will be quite random. I can't really remember much about it now. Yes, forgetful is my middle name. I want to go back again if possible. I never thought I will fall for Amsterdam and that was why I only planned 2 nights for it.  Serve me right!

p.s. all my photos are edited.
