Book A&O AMSTERDAM ZUIDOOST at XcelTrip today and try Dutch cuisine


From mini pancakes to croquettes from a vending machine, Amsterdam offers the hungry traveller plenty of unique culinary experiences. Don't go home without trying at least one of these traditional Dutch foods:

Stroopwafel 
If you try one Dutch sweet treat, make it a stroopwafel. Two thin waffles stuck together with a layer of sweet syrup; these delectable delicacies are best enjoyed hot and gooey from a street market or bakery.
Stamppot (Mash Pot)

Stamppot is comfort food at its best – and it reigns as the Netherlands national dish. It is so simple that we were suspect as to how flavorful it would be, yet we were completely blown away by the incredible taste. The traditional Dutch dish has a potato base and is prepared with vegetables, according to taste (so you might find that traditional Dutch recipes for Stamppot vary slightly). Basic ingredients – white potato, sweet potato, carrots, onion and cabbage – are simmered in a pot, mashed and topped with rookworst (smoked sausage). Add a shake or two of salt and pepper and a typical Dutch meal is served!

Pannenkoeken (Pancakes)

When we first found out that the Dutch are fond of pancakes, we imagined sweet Netherlands breakfast food– and then we learned how wrong we were. Pannenkoeken – Dutch pancakes – are more like crepes and can be prepared both sweet and savory and are a typical Dutch dinner or lunch. Each pancake is as big as a plate. We prefer the savory pannenkoeken, topped with cheese, ham, tomato and fried onions (but more on Dutch sweets in a minute!). There is a pancake restaurant in the hills by our house, but I also made them at home using this recipe.

Hagelslag (Sprinkles)

Remember as a kid, how sprinkles made ice cream so much better? Well, in the Netherlands, sprinkles – which they call hagelslag – aren’t reserved for kids or ice cream. Hagelslag is consumed – usually topping a slice of buttered bread – as a snack or at any meal; it is even eaten as a typical Dutch breakfast. We, however, would smear peanut butter on sweet Dutch pastries then top it with chocolate hagelslag. There are no rules…and sprinkles are fun.

Everyday dishes here are fresh fish products - herring, eel, bondage, halibut, oysters. They are cooked in every way, salted, processed into canned food and served on the table most often with boiled potatoes. The most popular fish is herring.
Almost in all cafes and restaurants in Holland you can find menus in three languages: English (for tourists), Dutch and Flemish.
Most often, the Dutch eat it "on the go": in the form of a sandwich or swallowing it "alive." Namely: they lift it above the head and, having raised up the head, bite off a piece - the traditional Dutch way. The traditional Amsterdam way is considered to be eating a herring cut on a paper plate with a small onion broth and chopped salted cucumber. Eating all this pleasure is a sort of double toothpick.

Visit The Wonderland Of Natural Attractions, Costa Rica

Image
Costa Rica is a wonderland of natural attractions, with volcanoes, beaches, cloud forests, and unique wildlife. This is a country that appeals as much to birdwatchers and luxury focused travellers as it does to surfers and backpackers. The busy city of San Jose is home to the country’s best museums and lovely squares, but the real treasures lie beyond the capital, in the forests and small coastal villages. Endless stretches of beach line the Pacific Coast, with small towns that cater to surfers and sun seekers. Inland, the forest-covered mountains offer their own adventures, from volcanoes and waterfalls to ziplining and extraordinary wildlife viewing. Costa Rica also has shoreline on the Caribbean. While this is a lesser visited area of the country, it offers something a little different in terms of culture and attractions, and is known in particular as a breeding ground for green sea turtles. Arenal Volcano The Arenal Volcano National Park is found in the rugged...

Cryptocurrency travel to Chinese culture: Visit Palace Museum and Temple of Heaven

Image
Description of the sights of China brings us to the idea of an encyclopedia. In this country there are so many remarkable places that are interesting for tourists that talking about a short list is even somehow offensive. The names of the sights of China include museums and temples, both Buddhist and other religions and faiths. These are whole streets and cities, areas and natural parks, mountains and bays, rivers and deserts. These are gorges and rocks of an unusual shape, these are temples hanging on the rocks, and bridges of a futuristic look. The Palace Museum Housing over 690,000 artefacts, the National Palace Museum in Taipei is a treasure trove of Chinese culture. Evacuated from the Forbidden City to Taiwan in 1948 amidst the panic of the Chinese Civil War, the collection provides an in-depth view of the beauty of Chinese history from the Neolithic to the modern era. The National Palace Museum , founded in 1965 in the Shilin district of Taipei, Taiwan, curr...
