Asian fare in the Netherlands for the spice lovers

Chicken at a Sichaun Tibetan restaurant
I spent a week in Northern Europe, where I visited several Asian restaurants. In the northern Netherlands, in the town of Groningen and Amsterdam, I tried the local Indonesian fare, which was mostly comprised of small portions of satay, curries, vegetables, fried bananas, soups
(try their peanut soup), and spicy sauces with flavored and plain rice. These dishes were a relief after trying out a variety of lot of Dutch food that I think is generally too bland for my Indian palate.

In Amsterdam I had one of the best lunches ever in a Tibetan Sichuan restaurant in the Chinatown.
At another Tibetan Sichuan restaurant, I tried their dim sums and they were awesome.

Indonesian meal
Finally, I always visit an Indian restaurant in every city that I go to. In the towns of Groningen and Bruges, the Indian food was very mediocre. However, a visit to  Ashoka, a Indian/Nepali cuisine in Amsterdam, left me pretty satisfied. I will still say you might be better off trying the Indonesian or Sichuan food, particularly in Amsterdam.

I like to visit local ethnic restaurants in Northern Virginia and experience different cuisines, and then try the dishes out in my own kitchen. I started this blog to express my love for food.
