Some musts that you have to try while you’re over there: Dutch; How about a herring with onions. Usually sold on the market. It’s definitely something you should try. Turkish; You can get Turkish food everywhere. The best way to buy it is when you see them selling it on the street. Choose for Doner Kebab. Indonesian; For Indonesian, go to the Asian Taste in West Amsterdam. Try ‘Nasi’. It’s white flavored rice with any kind of meat/fish, and your own amount of hot sauce. Surinamese; Tjauw Min, Roti, Saotosoup or vegetarian Loempia’s. Albina is a very good restaurant to try this kind of food.
