Who? Me

Food Style? Pancakes

I've had food poisoning again. I had to cancel a reservation at a very well rated traditional Dutch restaurant last night, I was so sad. I'm so hungry now that I've lost all regard for my wellbeing and want something good because it's my last few hours in Amsterdam and I've missed out on so much.

Lizzie gave me this recommendation and I could use "a bit" of sugar to pick up my energy and spirits while I'm at it. The pancakes here are massive and I probably won't be able to finish it, but I'm going to try. I have to choose the Dutch pancake, since I'm in the Netherlands and all.

Dutch Pancake - pancake with stroopwafel chunks, cinnamon ice cream, chocolate flakes and whipped cream
It's damn good. Wow. The stroopwafel buried inside the pancake is really something, and the cinnamon ice cream helps to mellow the sweetness of the whole thing. The pancake itself is not too bad, a nice soft texture, but it just seems irrelevant compared to everything else on the plate. I've already discarded all the whipped cream on the plate, but still don't know if I'll finish this.

Nope. Tapping out with a quarter to go. So sad! Damn you food poisoning.
