Rollende Keukens

The 9-12th May marked the sixth edition of 'Het weeked van de Rollende Keukens' or 'The weekend of the Rolling Kitchens' in Amsterdam. The park was packed with a wide range of mobile kitchens and transformed into an outdoor restaurant. There was live music, performances and enough drinks to make everyone merry. As you can imagine I was pretty excited !! I mean what more could you really ask for? This is surely every food lovers dream right??

After taking a walk around the park I decided to try some 'soul food'. I had a chicken curry roti and a ketjap  roti with beans, veg and chili and both tasted soo good. On an earlier post I talked about trying out some roti at a Surinamese restaurant, but this one tasted so much better!! As the chicken was placed inside the roti this time, it was full of flavour and the roti was just right. It definitely hit the spot!

I also tried some mini pancakes served with citrus jam and cream, the jam was a little too tangy for my liking and the pancakes were just ok.

Here are a few pictures of the day.

Queens Day

The 30th of April 2013 officially marked Koninginnedag 'Queens day' a national holiday in the Netherlands used to celebrate the Dutch Queen Beatrix's birthday and this year her abdication of the throne to her son Prince Willem- Alexander. 

The streets were full of people dressed in orange, which is the official colour of the Dutch royal family and hails the house of orange. The canals were packed with people as they traveled along in their boats and the pavements covered as the Dutch sold second hand items. There were several stalls selling food and there were sounds of loud music as you walked down the street, being my first Koninginnedag I definitely enjoyed the experience.

Here are a few pictures of the day ! 

My 'attempt' at wearing orange

Train track veggie market

I recently came across this video, and I thought it was to good not to share. When it comes to grocery shopping  I'm very much used to heading down to my local market or grocery store but this takes it to another level!!!

 I'll let you see for yourself
