Amsterdam Part II

These are some of the foods I ate in Amsterdam. Nothing very special. Living in a global city like Singapore kinda makes you see most things already. One for sure though, for main courses, portions are huge. About twice the size I think?

This packet of fries is called Friets. Large-cut fries drowned in lotsa sauces. Very shiok but obviously super unhealthy. It's quite huge, though it's klein. (small size)

Vegetarian pasta with a lot of mushrooms. Not my usual kind of ordering, but it was delicious. However, like I said, the portion was huge. Could only take in two thirds of it.
This is raw herring. Apparently, the Dutch people love it. They slurp it down in no time. It cost S$6 ok! And we only finished half of it. Too fishy to chow down anymore. I was quite scared to eat it, but well, once in a lifetime, so try lor.
Banana waffles with ice cream. Waffles there are a little different, probably nicer than Singapore's. We heard much about the pancakes and waffles in Netherland. Yeah, they're nice but overrated la, not to mention more expensive as well.
This apple tart super nice!!! Never tasted anything like that in Singapore yet.
