Dutch cuisine was lacking a bit in variety. I branched out. Years of colonization had brought back some foreign tastes to Amsterdam, and it was full of Surinamese and Indonesian places to eat.
I got a recommendation and headed for Mok Sam.
The first dish was a fried banana served with peanut sauce. Nice job on the fry, and the peanut sauce wasn't so bad either. It was advertised as a bit spicy, which it was not. Chili sauce was at the ready to fill the gap.
Second was pitjil. This turned out to be mixed steamed vegetables covered in...peanut sauce. Also pretty tasty, though I was beginning to push the bounds on peanut sauce.
Finally, my main, lamb roti special. This large dish came with lamb chunks, little green beans, potatoes, a boiled egg, and cabbage, all covered in a mustard curry sauce. Oh, and there were thick tortillas too. Best of the bunch, this had loads of flavor and carried the chili sauce as well.
