📍Netherlands

2025/2/23 Edited to

... Read moreOh my goodness, the Netherlands completely stole my heart, and honestly, a huge part of that was the incredible food journey I embarked on! You might think of just stroopwafels, but let me tell you, there’s so much more to discover when it comes to the diverse culinary scene there. My mornings often started with the most delightful breakfast spreads. I still dream about those fluffy pancakes with powdered sugar, sliced strawberries, and bananas. They were just heavenly, often served with a little packet of honey on the side – the perfect sweet start to a day of exploring. It felt so cozy, sipping coffee in a charming cafe and enjoying such a simple yet delicious meal, truly capturing the morning vibe. One of the most memorable dishes was something I actually stumbled upon by accident but absolutely loved! It was a plate of perfectly grilled eggplant topped with crispy white noodles, green onions, and chili. I wasn't entirely sure what I was ordering, but wow, it was a flavor explosion! The smoky eggplant paired with the crunchy noodles and a hint of spice was just divine. It really taught me to be adventurous with my food choices while traveling, as sometimes the best discoveries are unexpected. Lunchtime often meant exploring the vibrant cafe scene. I loved finding spots that offered fresh and light options. One day, I enjoyed a beautiful spread with a fresh bagel, flatbread, crisp cucumber, and creamy cream cheese. It was simple, fresh, and exactly what I needed to refuel before more sightseeing. The Dutch really know how to do a good, wholesome sandwich or open-faced meal, perfect for a midday break! And it wasn't just traditional Dutch food! The international food scene in the Netherlands is fantastic. I had an absolutely incredible bowl of ramen containing noodles, a perfectly cooked egg, tender meat, and fresh vegetables. It was rich, comforting, and just what I needed on a cooler evening. It goes to show that you can find authentic flavors from all over the world, even in a small European country. For something lighter, I often opted for a vibrant poke bowl with salmon, fresh mango, edamame, purple cabbage, and a delicious white sauce. It was so fresh and colorful, a true feast for the eyes and the palate. I loved how easy it was to find healthy and delicious options everywhere, catering to all cravings. And of course, sometimes it's nice to just soak in the atmosphere. I remember finding this charming bar interior – all warm wood, cozy lighting, and shelves packed with bottles. It was the perfect spot for a quiet drink and a moment to reflect on the day's adventures, watching the world go by. My biggest advice? Don’t be afraid to try new things and explore beyond the obvious tourist spots. The Netherlands has a rich culinary landscape, and every bite felt like a discovery. I'm so glad I documented these moments, and I hope it inspires you to taste your way through this amazing country too!
