LU is one of my favorites for roast duck and crispy pork in town. The restaurant has a cool, modern/vintage Chinese vibe. I ordered noodles, cucumber salad, roast duck, and crispy pork—everything was delicious and just right for two people.

While it might not be a must-visit museum in town, if you’re staying long enough and would like to understand how Amsterdam has developed into the city it is today, the journey won’t take more than 1 hour! Personally find it worth visiting.

If you’re longing for Thai E-san food, this is the place you should visit. The papaya salad with Pla-ra is exceptional, and you can customize the spiciness level according to your preference. Even if you’re not Thai, you can request for it to be less spicy. The service offers a warm welcoming experience.

Even though NiewMarkt Amsterdam has many Chinese restaurants, Wing Kee is my favorite one. This restaurant is the real OG style of Hong Kong vibes, not only in its decoration but also in the staff uniforms that we always saw in Chinese restaurants when we were young. The roasted duck skin is exceptional, and other menu items provide comfort food reminiscent of home. Additionally, the lemon tea pairs nicely with the food.

In my opinion: I think duck skin tastes better in the dinner time. I tried it once at noon, and it seemed that the skin hadn't reached that level of crispy yet. But it’s always nice tho. 🦆
