Dutch comfort & crudeness

By:  June 28, 2023 Categories: 

Two weeks in the Netherlands. We’re not that known for any 美食 (great food), and compared to Chinese food I’m sure it looks crude, but for me, it’s all real comfort food:

1. Real bread and real cheese 👌

2. Battered chunks of fish and tartar, and
3. My mom’s tomato soup

4. Fries with peanut sauce & mayo (the Dutch name means something like ‘Chaos fries’) and minced-meat sausage with curry & mayo — both with raw onions

5. Apple pie

6. Croquette deep-fried meat ragout with breadcrumbs and French mustard

7. Strawberry custard cake (but I guess this is French cuisine more than Dutch…), and
8. But IMO the best (and quintessential Dutch), potatoes, meatballs and vegetables

Searching for meadows

Our new home in the Netherlands sits in a mundane residential area full of young families like ours. The street name comes from made (‘meadow’), still referring to a field that once lay here and now survives only in the name (just how the name Shanghai refers to a river that no longer exists). And […]

How to get a job in China (Update 2026)

There are a ton of application sites out there, but I think they’re all horrible. I searched for jobs three times: 2014 (before graduation), 2016 (desire to change jobs in the Netherlands), and 2018 (desire to move to China) — and from those three runs I do not doubt that I’ve sent well over 100 […]
