Tummy Trip in Europe: I got a high with these Dutch Treats!

I love Amsterdam! I love the global cuisine, the hustle and bustle of this vibrant cycling city, the canals, the nightlife...it was just so alive! No wonder teens and party goers from all over Europe are packing the Dutch capital during weekends! There's so much you can do in Holland, you can visit the cafes that are scattered all over the city for a good meal, watch a concert at the Heineken Music Hall, check out the Van Gogh and other museums, hang out at the Dam Square, shop til you drop and try the "coffeeshop" for you know what hehe..








Anne Frank's house behind me..




The nice thing is that the city is very accesible from Schipol, just take the train going to Centraal station and you have access to the metro already  to get to your choice hotel or you can simply walk from there.

These are just some of the Holland goodies we were able to take pictures of:

carne asada










Wok to Walk ,  a fast food hole in the wall in Amsterdam , lets you choose the kind of noodle or rice you want and the toppings ( seafood, veggies, meat ) and the sauce. I had rice noodles with shrimp, pineapples and curry sauce. It was really good!!! And it was perfect with the cold weather that day in Amsterdam.

They have Belgian fries/frites all over the city too. We tried Chipsy King. It was delicious if not the best.
drool!!!!!!



This pizzeria was near the Dam square. Heineken and beer!!!

yummy pizza!!!






Using the remaining euro coins at Schipol..They have the McKroket , a Dutch original : )



 Amsterdam is a must see! Oftentimes I find myself in Schipol just  for the connecting flight but this city definitely deserves a visit of its own.
