What to do when food is no good

Posted: October 4th, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: Food | Tags: , , , , , | 5 Comments »

I have spent the last month in Berlin taking advantage of their cheap and tasty culinary establishments. I also went a little crazy eating out since this activity in Amsterdam almost always results in a disappointing experience. Sorry Amsterdam, I love you but your food SUCKS. It’s the truth. Entrees are extremely overpriced, the service is bad, and it can be difficult finding really lekker food. That said, I have had the opportunity this past year to really learn how to cook food that I crave since I can’t go out and find it in this city.

Here are two food blogs I love since they fulfill my spicy to extra spicy food cravings.

I love maangchi! I want her to be my Korean aunt who lives next door and feeds me everyday. I have already made Soondubu three times since discovering her site.

If you’re looking for Korean/Japanese ingredients, Shilla is the best! The mini grocery store is located just north of Amstelveen. They have everything and I think it is a bit more affordable than the stores on Zeedijk.

Homesick Texan is another really great food blog. I miss Texan meals all the time since I moved to Europe and she has some amazing Tex-Mex recipes and even Chicken Fried Steak for all you southerners!

    Wow, that sucks to hear that Amsterdam has a not so good eating out scene. I’ll make a mental note!

    [...] when I got sick of not having access to any affordable Korean restaurants in the city and needed to feed my kimichi addiction. Since then, I’ve gotten a whole group of Amsterdammers hooked on Korean cuisine by throwing [...]
