Delicious Dutch -food- Treat


LaoPo

Recommended Posts

For the Dutch food lovers amongst you there will be many Dutch Food specials available at the Food Loft at Central Chidlom from tomorrow October 19-30....hmmmmmm

Too much to mention here, but they even have "Hema Worst", Kroketten, haring, paling, hutspot, zuurkool, broodje rosbief and much more (sorry, untranslatable).

The Dutch treat will have a follow up between November 29 until December 25 at the Holland Village in front of the Central World Plaza - Bangkok.

Have fun :o

I went. They definitely have frikandel. But most of what they are serving is broodjes (great for breakfast and lunch but not so sure about dinner), macaroni (is there something special about Dutch-style macaroni?) and a few odds and ends.

For dessert, they have ollibollen and stroopwaffles. The stroopwaffles are made fresh and are pretty good - but the ollibollen was sadly very cold even after they heated it in the oven - and unfortunately that was the only thing I chose out of what was on offer.

Next time if I go for lunch, I'm having a broodje. I didn't see any hutspot (or maybe not what I was looking for), didn't see any herring or krokketen either - but they are promoting a cheese which is aged 1-2 years that might be worth trying.

I have been to Amsterdam many times. I found most of the Dutch people avoid Dutch food except for some fast food like herring on the street, and not many formal Dutch food restaurants to be found. Surely not one of the great world cuisines, wouldn't you agree?

Sorry to hear you weren't satisfied. Didn't they have the menu/specialities as promised, below ?

That link is still not working for me, Lao Po. Don't know why, obviously it must have worked for you. Come to think of it, I saw one variety of krokketen.

Try this link - http://www.central.co.th/foodloft/promotion/index_en.html

The menu that is actually on display is different from the one shown in the web site. I suspect part of the problem is the limited cooking facilities available in the demo area of the FoodLoft, which really doesn't look like a full kitchen.

The demo concept is a great idea but I can't remember once seeing anything in that area that I really wanted, though admittedly I only go once every few months.

Maybe the Dutch Festival will be better when they move to the Holland Village in November.

BTW yesterday was a very bad day to go - Central's celebrating their 60th anniversary and I have never seen the Chidlom branch so crowded ever - there were a lot of dara in the area. For those that can wait, I'd recommend not going this weekend.

With NEW herring (zoute haring) I will definitely

come down to Holland Village later.

Food Loft is SUPER expensive - just a warning !

When was the last time you went to your homecountry? Yes it is more expensive then noodlesoup! But the prices are on the same level or cheaper as what I would have paid for them in the Netherlands. I do love that it is for sale here! I am very happy they took the effort. These kind of things are like treats. And everyone needs to treat themselves to something special every once in a while.

Ok lah,

Just back and had:

Zuukool with gehaktbal (Nice)

Some kind of fish dish with lemon (Unknown Dutch to me but taste OK)

Pea soup (Very good but could use some Hema worst inside)

Broodje frikandel (speciaal) with mayo unions and ketchup (wrong broodje)

Pancakes with bacon (Excellent)

I almost finished all except for de zuurkool and now I am feeling a bit full, ha ha ha.

I asked one of the lady's there if they planning to show up at other malls as well and she confirmed.

They will do Siam Paragon and WTC and a few others but she was not sure exactly where and when.

Yes on the taste.

No on the fast food comment.

If you approach a street vendor, pay money, and eat seconds later ... that IS fast food by definition.
