Amsterdam Chinatown

A visit to the city center~

Albert Heijn

There are a few supermarkets next to my dorm. Found some very interesting stuff:

Pointy cabbage

7 SGD LAO GAN MA Chilli sauce

All kinds of tomatoes

Chinatown

Went to the Chinatown in city centre and browsed a few Chinese supermarkets. The products are actually cheaper than regular supermarkets in Amsterdam.

Saw many interesting architecture. There is actually a Chinese temple right in the centre of the street!

Dinner

We ate our dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. The vegetarian and meat dishes have similar prices, around €20.

Google reviews about the restaurant

Scary prices of the Dim Sum

Here, every dish ordered comes with a free bowl of rice… kind of weird.

The packaging even has a tutorial on how to use chopsticks! First time seeing that~

How to use chopsticks

The three of us ordered two dishes: one vegetarian, one meat. The portions were pretty large. The veg was luohan zhai (Buddha’s delight), which seemed to have about 7–8 ingredients: bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, broccoli, stuff like that. The meat was a three-roast combo. We had some left overs and packed it to go. Personally it was pretty meh… I’m sure I’d cook better myself XD.
Score: 4.5/10…

Finally I took a few photos in the city center~ They came out quite nice~
