This Trip report is 3 months late and I took no notes so I wont do day by day as usual.
Stayed at http://amsterdam.citymundo.com/accommod ... ht-l10715/ which was great place with perfect location. The price wasnt as crazy as some others i saw around NYE.
The trip didn't start well our - flight was delayed about 4hours and my other mate who was on a later flight 8hours due to fog.
When we finally got their I popped into Voyagers, checked in at the apartment, pancake carousel - poffertjes machine broken, pancakes eaten. I ate lots of oliebollen and applenflappen/beguit from the stalls over the trip :) Its hard to walk past and not buy at least one!
We met my mate at Bataiva, ate burger bar, hit Boerejongens and maybe somewhere else before heading back.

Next day paid a last visit to my favourite ever coffeeshop - De Graal- spent a chilled few hours upstairs. Got some modern marrocs that I rosined.

Albert Cuyp Market - hot fresh stroopwafel, beats wallys waffles for me.

NYE is a bit of a blur, saw the lights from the light festival and smoked and drank alot :)

Ate at De Klos, Loetje was closed when we tried to go on new years day so we got a Chinese some where which was decent.
Banh mi, dumplings, poke, burgers and more at Food Hallen. Cooked a chicken with mac n cheese one night.

Biladi
Couscous royale - bet thing I ate, the lamb was amazing

Tagine
Image
Got some bits and bobs from Holtkamp including tarte tatin which they gave me some vanilla cream to go with

Proper report, short and sweet, I like that, Pengaldhinho, thanks :mrgreen: !

I know it's stupid to say(well...)but that Polm looks similar to that one I fortunately picked up privately in The Hague last time which wasn't overly strong but could only be described with one word adequately: tasty!
Doubt though same gang involved :lol: . Just so much choice you know!
That Shoe if similar I had from the Grey Area, must be ages ago since I rarely bought resin there but maybe I make it to them on my next trip very soon for a reminder. Also nice to see El Marssa's take on Amnesia hashish advertised here, too!
Of course last but definitely not least cheers for the graffiti pics, always worth it.

That shoe is indeed similar to certain batches of "golden soles" I've procured from Grey Area in my first year here (ca. 2014), put that in tandem with the whole "footwear" thing going on with both their i.e. - monikers shoe versus soles etc. - and you just might be on to something there Jess!

Thanks everyone.
Jessacass - yes tasty is the perfect description. Sometimes simple descriptions work better :) The golden soles I have had from GA in the past has been more blonde than black. I cant think of a similar hash I have had in Dam recently - its very hard and brittle but bubbles like mad. P.s thanks again for the Biladi recommendation, the Couscous royale was so good I have tried some Moroccan places in London but not found the same quality yet.
DeLe- sounds good :mrgreen: I look forward to more hidden goodies.
CC - cheers - enjoy the shoe if you get your hands on it :D
