🇳🇱🇩🇪 Foodie Adventure: Amsterdam & Berlin

In mid-June, I set out on a trip that felt like a true food-and-exploration tour across Europe — from Paris to Amsterdam and Berlin.

✨ Amsterdam
• Traveled by Eurostar train from Paris (Gare du Nord) to Amsterdam Central in just about 2.5–3 hours. Super convenient and comfortable.
• Bought a metro pass and stayed near Rokin, which was very central and easy to explore.
• Must-try food: Fabel Friet fries with parmesan and truffle — crispy and packed with flavor.
• Visited Pantopia Bakery, which felt like a pastry exhibition — creative and absolutely delicious, though drinks were average.
• Dinner at a famous pizza place (likely La Perla) — tasty but the wait was a bit long.
• Tried chewy Van Stapele chocolate cookies — rich and indulgent.
• A hidden gem: Chun Bulgogi Sandwich (Korean spot) — one of the best things I ate in Amsterdam, highly recommended!

🚌 Travel: Took a FlixBus overnight from Amsterdam to Berlin (~8 hours). Saved a night of hotel cost, arriving around 6 AM.

✨ Berlin
• Started the day at Alexanderplatz, classic city vibe.
• Ate Currywurst (decent, but not my favorite) and grabbed a Starbucks for a quick break.
• Special highlight: visited Dong Xuan Center (Berlin’s Vietnamese hub) and enjoyed authentic bánh cuốn — felt like home.
• Next day tried a doner kebab — surprisingly not as good as expected.
• Important tip: Berlin still runs a lot on cash. Many places don’t accept cards, so carry euros or risk walking back out like I did a few times.

👉 Overall, this trip was less about sightseeing and more like a food tour on the go — from Dutch fries and cookies to Korean sandwiches, Vietnamese bánh cuốn, and German street eats. A delicious (and very memorable) adventure!
