Roadside Takeaway @ Volendam, Amsterdam


Even after a satisfying lunch, a crowded food stand like above still had the ability to tickle the palette. It was the most crowded in the row of street stands.


Take your pick from the disposable plates, a boggling display of "once friends of the sea"; from herring to oysters to salmon to cod. The lady would reheat it up upon order.


Unable to decide, we had the mixed platter at a whopping 5€. Fish fingers, squid rings, oysters, prawn cakes that were dreadfully greasy and soggy (from the reheating I suppose). The mayo could do little to help. I wonder where we found the appetite to clean off the plate but at the bottom, we were greeted by an unpalatable layer of oil. Sure looks better than it tastes!


At least we had a gorgeous Kingfisher for company! I wonder what it felt watching us eat its counterparts.
