Walked to town from the Novotel Hotel. Worked up an appetite and wanted to try a broad selection of local items. We started with fries and added some of the things we don't normally find in the US: cheese tengels, bitterballen, kipcorn, frikandel, and veal croquette. Don't panic, there were four of us sharing all of the items. We tried about 4 causes and we all fell for the Joppie on the fries. Joppie appears to be a mix of mayo, onion, curry, and a few other things depending on the recipe. We even found Joppie flavored chips later in the week.
For my American friends wondering about the interesting options on the menu . . . here's a little intel:
I fell in love with the bitterballen. Crispy on the outside and almost gooey on the inside. I could have eaten them my entire trip and never tired of them. Crispy, warm, savory, meaty, yummy.
Cheese tengels. Imagine a small, narrow cheese-filled fried spring roll. Order more than you think you'll want. They are fabulous.
Kipcorn. Imagine a chicken stick, breaded with crushed cornflakes, and deep fried. Yeah. They're good. Not particularly exotic - you'll be reminded of a fried chicken patty from the uSA.
Frikandel. A deep fried sausage (hotdog style). Tasty.
Prices are good. The place was incredibly busy. We grabbed our items and then had to hover near the few benches near by to sit down and eat. Because we tried one or two of several things, we had a lot of things to pass and share.
Kids also got milkshakes and thought they were really good.
Everything was fresh and tasty and decently priced.
