Jakarta Underbelly at StruikOrganized monthly by a talented friend Percy and his friend Ffonz, because they missed the taste of Jakarta. So why not bring this experience back? You could find the Soto Ayam with rice and perkedel (Indonesian potato patties) on last editions menu. Mos def different than your local Indonesian joint. For an experience like at our Indonesian birthday parties, just drop by Om Ffonz’s and Percy’s. Keep an eye on their FB page to mark the Jakarta dinners and make a reservation in advance. Selamat makan teman2!

Buonasera Vasso

I visited Italian restaurant Vasso with my sister the other day. We were in the center of Amsterdam walking from Dam Square to an unknown destination. My sis is sometimes more picky than me when it comes to food. Not necessary in how a place looks like, but in a way that you’d like to visit a cool spot where the atmosphere is like you are on a holiday or she rather eat home. I remembered an Italian restaurant a friend Manuela had mentioned. She lived in Italy and mos def knows good food. Vasso near het Spui it is!

Cava del Mencey - Santa Cruz

 

I wish I stayed at the new hotel across the street of Cava del Mencey. Why? The rest of Tenerife is quiet during the siesta and low season, the South is horror (only mass tourism where it’s impossible to eat Canarian food!) and staying at the capital is very practical if you’d like to see the best of Tenerife by car.

Grosvenor Cinema

One of the things I love as a tourist is to do what the locals do. Go to the cinema! And preferably the art house ones. Just to experience the sphere of a city and its folks. We were planning to check out Ides of March and dine at the Grosvenor Cafe first. A venue with a cafe slash restaurant in the loft of the building, a bar and cinema downstairs.

Sake No Hana - London

Would like to spend a cool night out with friends? Book a table at Sake No Hana and order warm sake and the specialties*. Why? I love the ambiance and was very pleased by the interior design with wooden furniture by Kaizenfurniture. Next to this I really appreciate their good service. I had a great time and hope you’ll have a great time too.

Rapa Nui

Crime: BBQ chicken sate, salad, corona and Toblerone chocolate mousse

Scene: Rapa Nui Strandtent, Boulevard Barnaart 27, Zandvoort

Investigation: I’m not a fan of beach clubs. Love beaches, but can’t stand sand in my seat and food hahah Anyhow, Rapa Nui is the closest place I can go to by car where I can enjoy beautiful sunsets. The food is ok, the service could be tighter, the music is not really my style (if you don’t sit near the speakers you won’t hear the tunes haha), but the terrace is somehow ideal for beers and wine with the right crowd.

Place to enjoy the sun: Yes! Lovely view of the North Sea and the beach? Yes! The best food? Nah. It’s ‘aight’. Their kitchen serves typical “brown cafe food” like the Dutch version of the chicken sate with peanut sauce, steak frit, salad, freestyle pasta and the famous Dutch ‘borrel happen’. I’ll return soon to upgrade my tan if the weather lets me. Next stop: Timboektoe at Wijk aan Zee with their nice menu :)
