Perfect dinner
Steamed cod, pepper, fleur de sel, lemon juice, knob of butter.
Crushed new potatoes with olive oil, crema di balsamico, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese.
Took less than 15 minutes to prepare (I nuke the spuds in the microwave). Tasted like heaven.

‘Hoi Tjie Fan Dai’ at A-Fusion
Anyone speak Chinese? I've checked tons of dim sum menus online, but I cannot find out what 'Hoi Tjie Fan Dai' means. That's what this pork (?) dish was called on the Dutch/Chinese menu.
Tjie = Jee / Gee = Pork
A-Fusion is a really nice place stuck between the mostly grisly ...
Dim sum at home
I bought a bamboo steam basket and a couple of trays of (frozen) dim sum from Toko Dun Yong on Gelderse Kade.
Sieu Kaui, Ha Kau, Won Ton and Char Siu Pao.
I'll pretend it's healthy.
What beautiful days we're having. Long walks by the Amstel, sushi in Zuid, crazy voicemails ('Vy aren't ...
Udon and fish ball soup
I was unwell for most of the day, but once I recovered (having obtained my life saving Maxalt tablets from the chemist) I legged it into town for a trip to the chinese toko. Not because I needed anything. Just by way of entertainment. I bought fish balls and frozen ...
England just around the corner
Guess what I had for dinner? Pork pie. With a dab of brown sauce on the side. Guess what's in the fridge? Blackpudding and Kerrygold Irish butter.No, I didn't fly to London or Dublin today after work. I jumped on my bike to pick up something from the Hardware.nl shop ...
Order two sushi, get one for free?
My friends told me they went to Moshi Moshi, our new favourite sushi restaurant, yesterday and staff asked: 'Where's your friend?'
Bwah! The chefs at Zushi, a sushi bar I frequent on weekends, usually say 'See you next Sunday'.
I wonder if I can get a discount if I increase the frequency ...
Dog’s dinner
Hungry before going into the Stade de France in Paris, I stopped at one
of the many, many food stands outside the stadium. They all looked the
same and served the same food, none of it very healthy: French bread
with assorted sausages and chips.
You couldn't just get a bag of chips, ...
Corrigan says
Top chef Richard Corrigan (in between the ubiquitous swearing):
'C'mon, out some olive oil on it, yeh? They look as dry as a hoor's heart.'
'This is wild (rabbit) meat. It's... happy! Until somebody takes it...'
Sesame chocolate
I had black sesame ice cream at a Japanese restaurant here in Amsterdam the other day and though it had a hint of chocolate, unlike the white sesame and the green tea ice cream in the dessert.
Mikan Moblog has some info on Japanese style choclates with a sesame filling.
