Come with me to get breakfast in Taipei 🥢
Straight from the airport to this little place to taste soup dumplings and so much more! That's what I call a soft landing 😉 <3
In Taipei, you go to a Soy Milk Shop for breakfast. Warm soy milk to eat in a bowl, and steam baskets with the tastiest dumplings and baozi. You can really wake me up for this kind of breakfast. These local breakfast spots come in all shapes and sizes, from Michelin-recommended spots to hole-in-the-wall stalls.
Most soy milk shops open early (and sometimes even 24 hours a day), and these are the dishes you want to try:
🥄 Warm soy milk
🥢 Soup dumplings (you can often choose between pork and veggies)
🥢 Pork baozi
🥢 Youtiao (油條 - a kind of fried donut stick)
🥢 Youtiao (油條) w/ pork floss & rice
🥢 Turnip cake
🥢 Chives pancake
🥢 Scallion pancake
TIP: Sharing is a good idea to taste as much as possible, because the portions are (often) large.
You'll want to remember these soy milk shops for your future trip to Taipei:
📍Fuhang Soy Milk
📍Soy Milk Shop
📍Yong He Soya Milk King (Da'an)
📍Sihai Soy Milk
I am currently touring Taiwan, and you can also find all the tips in my Stories Highlight.
Have you ever been to Taiwan? I'm curious if you thought it was *that* amazing!

Just back from Catalonia and I thought: I'll share some tips right away.
During our road trip, we stayed two nights in the Ebro Delta. An incredibly fun stop for families and foodies, where there is plenty to do.
• A boat trip to the Musclarium is a must! Here you eat oysters and mussels straight from the farm, in the middle of the sea.
· Admire the flamingos and black ibises that can be found here all year round.
· Rice is grown in the Ebro Delta all year round. For paella, but Kensho also makes sake and miso from it! You can visit them during a tasting.
Cycling along the rice fields, canoeing on the Ebro River, and visiting various beaches. It was still a bit too cold right now, but there is plenty to do.
• The towns are very low-key and not that exciting, but you can find fantastic local food there. From the Michelin-awarded Les Moles* to local eateries like Vermuteria Bonmarisc and Lo Tinglado. We ate a lot of fish, but also anemone fritters (a first!).
Now back to work, and I’m going to create an extensive travel guide of this road trip through Catalonia, but you’ll want to save these tips for a future adventure.

This is your ticket to Japan without taking a plane 🥢
@tewatashi.ams in De Pijp serves an authentic Edo-Mae Sushi Experience and is super consistent in their quality.
It's the place we keep going back to when we have something to celebrate <3.
In this video I'm sharing the 2 hour experience in 60 seconds.
Still dreaming about the buttery ika nigiri. 🤤

@eetcafe_de_reiger is the spot to remember.
Cozy, casual, and a seasonal menu. This one was on my list to share for a year and finally it's (almost) asparagus season again! 🤤
Another plus? Prices are very reasonable here!
📍 Eetcafé de Reiger
Jordaan, Amsterdam City Centre
Save this spot for when you're craving warm Dutch traditional dishes in the heart of Amsterdam.
And did you hear the same team took over Eetcafé van Beeren? I can't wait to go there too!

23 X best burgers in Amsterdam to try one by one
Wako
Looking for a good burger in the city center? Then WAKO is your go-to spot. This smoked meat-inspired eatery serves juicy burgers with a smoky bite, perfect for rounding off your night out. Everything here is 100% halal, and they're open 7 days a week. So whether you're craving a midnight burger or just want a good burger, WAKO is the place to be.
Lange Leidsedwarsstraat 93h, Amsterdam – wakosmokehouse.com
MAYOR
At Burgermeester, they stick to classic, thick burgers—no smash, but juicy and full of flavor. With three locations in the city, there's always one nearby. Our tip? Definitely order the Parmesan fries: crispy fries with Parmigiano Reggiano and jalapeño mayo. The perfect way to round off your burger night.
Multiple locations in Amsterdam – burgermeester.eu
Drippy's burgers
After success in Rotterdam, Kaj Gorgels has now opened a location in Amsterdam on Ferdinand Bolstraat. Drippy's is all about smashed burgers with a juicy bite. The menu features classics as well as specials like The Limited: Mozz Smash, with double grass-fed beef, mozzarella, pepperoni, and a special O'Pazzo pizza sauce. A burger with pizza vibes.
Ferdinand Bolstraat 107, Amsterdam – drippysburgers.com
The Smash
Anyone who's familiar with the concept of a smash burger will never want anything else. A smash burger is a round ball of ground meat placed on a piping hot plate and then flattened. This creates a chemical process that makes the burger crispier and juicier than any other. At Le Smash, they've elevated this method to a true art.

Bill's Burger
At Bill's Burger, it's all about the authentic Oklahoma-style burger. No frills here, just delicious American Angus beef burgers on soft potato buns. The BLT burger is a true classic: a juicy Angus beef patty, melted cheese, crisp lettuce, tomato, onion, and of course, the secret Bill's sauce. Everything perfectly balanced.
Amstelveenseweg 170A, Amsterdam – billsburger.nl
Janana
At Janana on Willem de Zwijgerlaan, smash burgers are the order of the day. What makes Janana extra special is that they also sell vegetarian versions of this burger, based on soy. And believe us: you've never tasted anything like it before.
Willem de Zwijgerlaan 15, Amsterdam – hjananaburger.foodticket.nl
Maijard Smashburgers
Located in the heart of the city center, Maijard's smash burgers are made exclusively with local ingredients. They open at noon and have a limited number of burgers available each day, so the earlier you arrive, the better your chances of enjoying them.
Rozengracht 9 & Berenstraat 20HS, Amsterdam – maijardsmashburgers.com
Café de Tros
The hottest spot in Amsterdam East? That's Café de Tros, hands down. Opened earlier this year and popular with Amsterdam residents from every neighborhood, Tros definitely deserves a spot on the list of the tastiest burgers in Amsterdam.

Bar Bonnie
Bar Bonnie is a favorite among many in Amsterdam, and not just for its great atmosphere and potential for weekend dancing. No, their excellent burgers are just as worth the detour. The menu features two types of smash burgers, a type of burger that's becoming increasingly popular in the Netherlands. For a normal appetite, choose the regular cheeseburger, and for a big one, there's the double cheeseburger.
Amstelveenseweg 226h, Amsterdam – bonnie.goudvisch.nl
Chick from the Prince's Lock
Kikkie van de Prinsensluis is a cozy traditional Dutch café at first glance, but anyone who's dined there knows this charming spot has much more to offer. In summer, the terrace is always packed, and in winter, hip Amsterdammers gather there to indulge in a beer and the famous burger from Kikkie's kitchen.
Prinsenstraat 30, Amsterdam – kikkie.amsterdam
The neighbour
Just a stone's throw from the ever-vibrant Westerpark, you'll find De Buurman. The staff always greets every guest as a neighbor, making you feel instantly at home. De Buurman is simple and, in addition to delicious falafel, also offers a burger to die for. Without a doubt, one of the tastiest burgers in Amsterdam.
Van Hallstraat 65, Amsterdam – debuurman-amsterdam.nl
KID
At KID Amsterdam, which stands for Kip 'n Drip, they make the tastiest chicken burgers in all of Amsterdam. They call it a chicken sandwich, but we think it's just like a burger.
Ruysdaelkade 251, Amsterdam – kidamsterdam.com
Polly Goudvisch
At the always welcoming Polly Goudvisch, it's not necessarily about the food, but rather about the atmosphere. That's not to say the dinner isn't important, because the burgers they serve are absolutely delicious. Yet another reason to visit, then.

Carrol's
Located on the NDSM quay, Carrol's is the ultimate spot in North Amsterdam to indulge in a burger. They serve three types of burgers on brioche bread, of which the Seoul version is perhaps the most unique.
NDSM-Kade 4, Amsterdam – carrols.nl
Nude Burger
Nude Burger is one of those places you need to know about, otherwise you'd rather not be in Kolksteeg. Under the motto "eat your clothes off," they prepare the tastiest and most unique burgers and loaded fries.
Kolksteeg 10, Amsterdam – nudeburger.nl
The Beef Chief
At The Beef Chief, it's all about great burgers from the grill, made with meat from local farmers and butchers. You can now find them exclusively at Oedipus in the Craftspace in Noord, where you can enjoy not only their famous chicken burger with ranch coleslaw, American cheese, roasted garlic mayo, and pickles, but also juicy smashed burgers with kimchi or cheddar.
Beitelkade 4, Amsterdam – thebeefchief.com
Celia
Celia Amsterdam offers not only a great hotel and a great workspace, but the restaurant is also a place to be – especially when you order the burger. Thanks to the interior and the dishes, you'll briefly feel like you're in California.
Nieuwendijk 60, Amsterdam – celiaamsterdam.com

The classics that are always good: More burgers in Amsterdam that you want to try
Royal Cannibal
Cannibale Royale has been around for a while, but we remain fans. We can De Pijp. Then Centrum and up the Red Light District Go there, it's delicious! The burger is served on a sturdy wooden board and is always tender. Yum! And while you're there: the viande du moment never disappoints!
Multiple locations in Amsterdam – cannibaleroyale.nl
The Beer Garden
The Biertuin remains a classic spot, always bustling with activity, and rightly so. For a big appetite, order the Carnivore for two, a generous platter that includes a cheeseburger and rotisserie chicken. Prefer to choose your own burger? Go for a burger, like the Pulled Pork Bun or the Brisket Bun from Frank's Smokehouse with a smashed Holstein patty. Perfect comfort food paired with a good beer.
Prinsengracht 494 & Linnaeusstraat 29, Amsterdam – debiertuin.nl
Troost brewery
With several locations (in De Pijp and on it Westergasterrein) Drinking Troost beer has never been easier. Besides the delicious beers they make, they also have no fewer than five (!) different burgers on the menu, plus a burger of the week.
Multiple locations in Amsterdam – brewerytroost.nl
Ter Marsch & Co
This restaurant won the Best Burger of 2015 award and has been a hit in Rotterdam for years. You can also enjoy these delicious burgers in Amsterdam for a while. This is especially the place to be for those with a big appetite; you'll want to try the double burger.
Vijzelstraat 4, Amsterdam – termarschco.nl
The Butcher // the butcher smashed burger
One of the coolest burger joints in Amsterdam, in our opinion, is The Butcher! Located on bustling Albert Cuypstraat, they serve the tastiest flame-grilled burgers. And don't forget the locations in the Nine Streets, the Foodhallen, and a 24/7 (!) location in the A'dam Tower!
But THE BUTCHER has a brand-new concept, all about smashed burgers. What can you expect? Simply good meat, crispy edges, and just the right toppings. Order fries and don't forget THE BUTCHER's special sauce—it really completes the experience.
Albert Cuypstraat 59, Amsterdam – the-butcher.com
