[Food Review] Thai Street Bar - A rare Issan food restaurant in Amsterdam.

Although there are a few Thai restaurants in Amsterdam, but one particular Thai dish that I had been missing was - Tom Yum with Pork. Although Amsterdam has a few Thai restaurants, I was missing a specific Thai dish that I had missed dearly - Tom yum with pork. Tom Yum Moo features any pork and Tom Yum Ka Moo features pork knuckles. While Tom Yum Goong (with shrimp) or Tom Yum Kai (with chicken) are commonly found, it was challenging to find a restaurant that served Tom Yum with pork. Personally, I believe that the combination of pork and Tom Yum soup is simply the best.

The Thai street bar caught my eye after a quick online search, near the well-known Red Light district of Amsterdam. The place boasts ahipster vibe with fuchsia-colored lighting and a mixture of modern and traditional design.

Amsterdam Thai Street Bar - Thai Milk Tea


To start off my meal, I indulged in a deliciously rich and sweet Thai milk tea, which immediately transported me back to the bustling streets of Bangkok. Sipping on the tea was a perfect way to whet my appetite for the main course - the dish I had been craving for so long, Tom Yum with Pork.

Then I got my long-awaited Tom Yum Moo, which was filled with pork slices, possibly pork leg, and mushrooms. While I wished the slices could have been a bit thicker, the broth itself was quite satisfying. Once again, it was proven that Tom Yum is always best with pork. The soup was served with a bowl of white rice, and I was tempted to put the rice inside the soup bowl to fully enjoy the soup.

The restaurant also had some fun elements, including two gambling machines and various Thai ornaments. When you look at their website, it seems like more of a Thai club or bar. They currently don't accept reservations, only walk-ins.

[Food Review] - Yokomo: Amsterdam's Japanese Peruvian Nikkei Food Concept, Asian Fusion Spanish / Latin Restaurant.

For the past couple of years, alongside Korean cuisine, one of the hottest culinary trends in the world must be Peruvian cuisine. Thanks to its diverse spectrum ranging from Nikkei to Chifa, Peru and its capital Lima, led by Central , the country's unique cuisine have garnered a lot of attention from all over the world. You can even find traces of it in Amsterdam.   Yokomo, a Peruvian-Japanese restaurant specializing in Nikkei cuisine, is located in a charming corner of Maastraat, Amsterdam. To be honest, I've never been to Peru, and my only experience with Peruvian cuisine so far has been at Chifa in Los Angeles, which is Chinese-Peruvian cuisine, so my excitement increased quite a bit. Even before visiting, some of my coworkers went there and also gave positive reviews. PATATAS BRAVAS €6.50 We had six people for dinner and ordered quite a lot of food that day. Please find the YouTube video below for the full dinner that night. We started our meal with patatas bravas, which ...

[Food Review] Fuku Ramen - The Hottest Ramen Place in Amsterdam

  Almost simultaneously, several people recommended a place to me: Fuku Ramen. They mentioned that despite not being run by a Japanese person, the quality of the ramen exceeded expectations, surpassing that of any other ramen joint in Amsterdam. Intrigued by these reviews, I decided to visit. However, I hadn't anticipated that the rain would begin to fall just as I joined the queue. I hadn't expected the rain, and to add to it, the line moved at a snail's pace. Now, while the information has been corrected, it wasn't entirely clear whether they accepted reservations for the weekend or not. Several of us in line assumed it was walk-in only for the weekend, but it turned out they did accept reservations. It was a bit confusing at the time. Nonetheless, after waiting about an hour in the rain, I finally secured a seat at the bar. Despite knowing the price beforehand, I was still a bit taken aback when I confirmed it: a bowl of ramen priced at over 20 Euros. There were two ...

[Food Review] Yangon Delight: The Very First Burmese Restaurant in Amsterdam

When it comes to Asian food, Amsterdam doesn't offer as much variety as its neighboring cities like London or Paris. For example, Korean options are very limited, and Japanese cuisine is more skewed towards ramen and sushi. For Chinese food, we are now seeing Northeastern restaurants and hot pot places starting to pop up, but there is still a lack of diversity. In terms of Southeast Asian cuisine, while Delft has some Lao and Cambodian options, Amsterdam mainly has Indian, Indonesian, and Thai restaurants, with a very limited number of Vietnamese and Malaysian establishments. One good thing about Amsterdam is that, due to the city's exponential growth, new establishments keep opening. I sometimes google terms like "Sri Lankan Amsterdam" or "Lao Amsterdam" to see if there are any new restaurants. One day, I randomly typed "Burmese Amsterdam," and to my surprise, a Burmese restaurant had just opened its doors for the first time in Amsterdam. I had be...
