Without a doubt the best Indian food I have tasted outside India. My compliments. The Chicken Korma…read moreis heaven, as are many other dishes. I would reccommend this restaurant to both indian food lovers and to those who are still unfamiliar with currys. The different dishes are clearly marked from mild to extra spicy but if you still cant decide, just ask. The staffs knowledge is amazing.

A little kiosk serving inexpensive fries, hamburgers and hotdogs next to a church where Rembrandt…read moreis buried. Fries are decent and piping hot. If you don't burn your tongues, you'll be ready to continue exploring - Ann Frank's museum is only a few blocks away.

In search of the famous Dutch fries with mayo we stumbled upon this little kiosk after our walking…read moretour of the city ended nearby. The fries were crispy & not greasy, made fresh to order. Interesting that it is served with mayo and not ketchup (but it is offered on the menu). Ketchup must be considered more of an American condiment here in Amsterdam. Fresh, hot and perfectly salted served in a paper cone with the equivalent of 2 tablespoons of mayo...not nearly enough, but that is if you like the taste of mayo on your fries and we did. We sat on the bench nearby and enjoyed our fries in the warm sun.

As a "wok restaurant" Mister Shi is fine. They have all the basic things you'd expect; raw products…read morefor the wok, some prepared sides and of course ice cream as dessert. Fairly standard stuff. The thing is, we just don't really "feel it" over here. Not the same loving and welcoming vibe we used to have at "our" wok. But now that they've changed their concept completely, we're in dire need of a replacement. *cries for days* Anyway, the food is fine, but the way they work here is a bit weird. They advertise as having Teppanyaki style cooking available as well which technically speaking is true. Usually this would be part of the all you can eat service, but here they've decided that you will receive one Teppanyaki dish as a starter before you move on to the actual food. Bit weird, seems like a lot of cost cutting to me and I don't like that, especially not from a place that is smaller and more expensive than our old wok. Conclusion: fine. Really just fine, would not bring out of town friends here, but also wouldn't turn down the offer of someone else buying me a meal here.

Visiting Alkmaar for a few days, came across this gem of a place. Originally a cigar manufactory,…read moreits interior is simple and easy going, and it feels relaxed. As there are not many tables reserving a table may be advisable. My choice of diner did not disappoint: the Rendang was simply devine; I can definitely recommend it. Next to it I enjoyed the nice local beer, which made it even better. If I recommend Vers? Most definitely I do!
