Supermart dinners are so very common given the fact that by 6pm all shops (yes ALL) are closed! We walked for a good 2 hours trying to convince ourselves that it cannot be that bad but true enough, save for bars all sources of food were limited. Sounds quite like a dessert eh? Could be the area we stayed in as the next day's dinner near the main train station was bustling with activity. So back to Albert Hejin, our favouritest supermart (godsent!) in Amsterdam. They close at a familiar timing of 10pm.
We managed to grab a few things before dashing back to the hotel to tuck in.
Potato Salad with Potato Bun. All the walking must have made us "gone potatoes". The large tub of potato salad was slightly over a euro...! It fed all of us to the brim, albeit very homemade in taste. Simply homemade this meal seemed but cosying up in the hotel eating this was strangely, really nice.
I could not give a miss on the various types of yogurt they had! We had rice yogurt, apple sauce and muesli yogurt.
Like rice porridge, this was totally bland.
Crunchy muesli to go with a tub of plain yogurt.
Of the three, apple sauce was the closest to what we imagined it to be. Verdict: The Europeans really are hard core healthnuts in this department. Locally, our yogurts have a tinge of sweetness.
