Dutch pancakes was on the list of to try, in fact Pancake Bakery was the intended place but somehow somewhere down the line the itinerary was changed and in times of desperation, anywhere is good. Leidsplein's one of those areas that actually open beyond the regular 6pm timing that most eateries close.
Pancake corner then! It is a sports bar that screens live telecasts of soccer matches, opens till late...best of all, the tram stops right in front of it. Oh yes, the waitresses are hot babes, clad in mid-drift sports wear.
Within earshot whilst waiting for my takeaway...(blame the gossipy genes), I witnessed a newly single girl seeking solace in the company of several gentlemen. Her girlfriends barge in to "take her away" as they insist she just "broke up less than an hour ago." and she was on "rebound". No drama unfolds unfortunately as the gentlemen swear in God's name to bring her home safe and sound.
Shortly after, I was handed my piping hot takeaway.
Pancake Plain (5.9 €)
William Pears (1.6 €)
A huge thin pancake packed in an equally huge styrofoam box. Resembled a chewy minjiangkueh, only thinner. William pears tasted as if they came fresh from a can.
It was nice, just not as iconic as waffles are for Belgium. I had my pancake, ate it and satisfied I was.
Just a nugget of fun; Receipt reads "For Fun and Fun! Tips not included (10-15%)
