The 10 things to eat in Amsterdam | WHAT & WHERE to eat, by the locals 👫🧀

[@tedydjajawinata2480]

As an Indonesian who's been to several Indonesian restos in NL and few other countries, I must admit that the best Indonesian food outside Indonesia is in NL. It's probably because many restaurants in NL employ best Indonesian chefs. I was also told that Indonesian spices are relatively easy to find there.

[@carlosliwang2518]

Meh, weird enough its gotta be usa. Indonesian food in NL is kinda watered down. Its more indisch rather than indonesian. Also the variety in usa is better. More authentic jajanan are available in usa. And dubai also has authentic indonesian food.

[@babagandu]

Also because of the fresh and organic ingredients

[@BeaglefreilaufKalkar]

Dutch love indonesion food as the Brits love their Indian food. I grew up with it, as my parents came from Indonesia.

[@tedydjajawinata2480]

@@carlosliwang2518 Yes, I actually did see on youtube that there are more authentic Indonesian restos now in US. There were only few when I lived there.

[@UncleEdson]

@@carlosliwang2518 what a nonsense. You can find the best Indo food in Holland for sure.

[@jonnababo4783]

there is a small restaurant named De Taverne in a very small town called Maarheeze. There you find the authentic dutch meals as how it was served 20 years ago also in Amsterdam. My favorite Warm Fried Camembert with Sweet blueberry sauce. Go and enjoy

[@titoubrouwers2017]

Wow, thanks for the tip. Could you send a link? I can't seem to find it online

Stroopwafel looks amazing. The Dutch have a lot more fried and breaded foods than I had realized.

My favourite food in Damsko is Surinamese food especially telo (spicy saltfish on fried cassava) and roti chicken or lamb...also I like kapsalon - an aluminium foil container of fries, doner meat, cheese and salad which can have up to 2000 calories...yes I know kapsalon originated in Rotterdam but they do them just as well in Amsterdam. I got good kapsalons for just 4 euros in de Baarsjes and surinamese food just about anywhere from 3 to 10 Euros (max). But these are both served in places where you rub shoulders with working class locals, most not white so erm not really hipster enough for anyone watching this lol

[@CptChampie]

Love it. Being hipster and leftwing is fantastic, and it looks great sharing it on instagram with your friends. Until those blackies stand at the table next to you. Hahaha!

Stroopwaffels are great, such a fantastic comfort food. One other important dish would be patat (fries) in all variation, for example as the famous patatje oorlog (fries with onions, mayo and peanut sauce).

Do not visit Long Pura. We went there tonight based on this recommendation. We waited 1 hour 50 minutes before receiving our main course. During this time another couple walked out and 2 other parties complained about the wait. The staff would only say that the kitchen was slow. If this is the case then do not keep seating people if you can't serve them. Whilst waiting several people, including us, had to ask about drinks and the waitress who took the order was oblivious to what we were missing.

[@BeaglefreilaufKalkar]

No Lekkerbek (deep fried fish fillet) or Kibbeling (smal pieces of deep fried fish)? Vietnamees spring rolls (a imported part of Dutch culture)? Soft rolls with cheese, or Filet American and hard boiled Egg, Veal liver and Salted beef (broodje halfom)? If a Dutchman invites you to dinner at his house and offers you Draadjesvlees en Rode kool, do go, its a real nice dish of a kind of Slow Cooked beef (like an Irish style corned beef) with red cabbage with Apples and potato mash, and when you are lucky, some pears boiled in port and cinemon. It is the Dish Dutch people will remind them of their childhood and wintertime. Dutch Pea Soup is also really nice, its a very thick soup with, smoked sausage, bacon and pork meat.

[@iwtkc]

Im pretty sure he had Kibbeling in the beginning of the video ;P Filet American is pretty much the same as a Mett fleisch dish in Germany. Never liked it but ok haha. Draadjesvlees en rode kool is the best yea.

[@BeaglefreilaufKalkar]

@@iwtkc No, Filet Americain is nothing like Mett, I Like Mett too though.

[@iwtkc]

@@BeaglefreilaufKalkar Well in the sense that it is raw beef. Filet american is differently marinated though I agree. But maybe you're right. Since I dont like it I don't try it alot and therefore cannot really judge ;)

[@stephanvanlunenburg4930]

the reason that the sells herring in pieces in Amsterdam has to do with the poor population in the past. many people could not afford a whole herring but wanted to taste the delicious herring. clever herring sellers then decided to cut the herring into pieces. customers could then buy a whole and if they had less money they could also buy 1 or 2 pieces

[@Eitner100]

Please skip the onions! Some sellers do hide the fish under cheap onions in order to hide the old and smelly herring. So buy the herring and demand the onions way on the side and preferably none at all. The onions destroy the fresh smell and taste of the herring.
