[Food Review]: Vlaams Friteshuis Vleminckx Sausmeester My favorite potato chips in Amsterdam




While its neighbor Belgium is more renowned for fried potatoes, the Netherlands also boasts a great reputation for excellent potato chips. Although there is a very thin line between Belgian and Dutch fries, some people say Belgians fry potatoes in red meat oil, while Dutch people fry them in plant-based oil.

Ironically, the top two most famous fry shops in Amsterdam, Vlaams Friteshuis Vleminckx and Mannken Pis, clearly showcase their Belgian identity in their names, emphasizing their connection to Flanders or Brussels.

Having visited numerous fry places in Amsterdam, I always find myself returning to Vlaams Friteshuis Vleminckx as my first and last choice. Its texture and taste consistently stand out as the best for me.

I also appreciate their non-pretentious style and pricing. Unlike other places, they minimize toppings and focus solely on the fries and sauce. Their fries come with no frills, keeping it simple, which is another reason why I like them the most.

To be fair, the entire area is always bustling with activity, making it one of the busiest areas in all of Amsterdam. Despite this, there's consistently a queue at this small fry parlor. The narrow back alley is often filled with people holding fry cones as well.

They offer an impressive selection of 29 different sauces, which adds to the fun as I can try a new one each time I visit. I often indulge by ordering two different sauces at once. Among my favorites are, of course, the classic frite sauce, Samurai, Andalouse, and lastly, Joppie Sauce.

What I really enjoy about their fries is the crispiness. The texture is completely different from any other place; they're never soggy. The sensation when you take a bite is quite pleasurable, especially the feeling on your teeth. 



Fried with peanut oil, their fries acquire a nutty flavor, complemented by perfect salting. When you begin comparing the sauces, you'll quickly notice the difference.

Opened in 1957, the shop continues its journey even after almost 70 years. There's a clear reason why people still indulge in this shop and form the famous long queue in front of it. If you're seeking the perfect Dutch fries, there's no doubt that this is the place to go.

[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...
