Food log around Europe

As a true blue Singaporean, FOOD is one of the main objectives wherever we go!
In every single city, the specialty food and most recommended food is always hunted for! 
Here is our food log around europe!

London is not counted as its still UK where we were tired of fish and chips haha. So its Chinese Buffet to fill our tummy.

Cornish Pastry in Bath - Kind of like our curry puff but bigger version and less flavourful

Apple Crumble Pie in Amsterdam! - said to be the best and i agree!

A traditional Amsterdammer meal in a nice homely restaurant! do you see the bowl of lard on the top right with pork bits inside....my cholesterol level is rising!!!

Shhhh! Its just a brownie!

Pancake with blueberries, yoghurt ice-cream, blueberry sauce, Belgium chocolate flakes and whipped cream in Amsterdam

Pancake with tuna fish, Gouda chesse, olives and red onion - this and the above are the best pancakes i have ever eaten in my life from Amsterdam

Traditional Herring eaten raw like sashimi in a sandwich with  a slice of pickle

Paris - A half eaten bagel with cheese tomato and tuna- simply delicious

Caramel delights for a Parisian lunch - caramel biscuit, salted caramel crepes, cola (which is made from caramel too)

Best Crepes in my life - and cheapest too! 

Turkish Pastries in Paris - I really love these!

Turkish delights, Macarons and Mousse - YUM!

LOTSA Chocolates!

Eclairs!!! Both chocolate and coffee! Said to be best in Paris

Duck Confit and Escargot for our last meal in Paris
All road leads to Rome! Its Italian food time! Pizzas in square shape and thin crust!

Gelato Galore!!!

Bruschetta for appetiser

Main Course is the best risotto i have ever had -  awesomely balanced between the strong taste of Parmesan cheese with tangy lemon 

Seafood pasta - is so fresh they served the mussels raw and the prawn is the largest I have seen since Singapore

More bruschetta!

Lasagne!

Very good Carbonara with lotsa eggs!

Second course!!!

Some panini that i randomly ordered at a wet market! - Olives, tomatoes and mushrooms!

Creme of Potato!

Vegetable Lasagne!

Meat Lasagne

Artichoke! A taste that you need to get used to!

This is how people eat Pizza in Rome when they takeaway! Like a Sandwich~
It is originally like a pizza and you choose the portion and pay what it weighs....taste like a cake haha!

What some call the best gelato in Italy and its in Rome - they dun even show you the gelato unless u buy it.

The oldest Gelato store that Hitler and Mussolini used to love to eat from!

Pizza everyday!

The best pizza we ate and its in Venice!

Still eating gelato everywhere!

Mini Pizza anyone?

Tried to copy the gelato store ice cream sandwich!

It said fish pasta on the menu....crayfish la!

Scampi!!!!

Al Nero di Seppia or cuttlefish ink pasta!

Only pizzas like these straight from the oven are the best!

Gnocchi - some potato pasta

A type of dumpling like pasta

Nothing like a hot bowl of beef and vegetable soup after a tough morning of skiing in Innsbruck, Austria

The best Kebab i have ever had after a long day of skiing - trick is just spam all the sauces.

Chili box! with the same sauces as the kebab! Shiok!

Chili Hotdog!

In Munich, you get stoned drinking one litre beer and eating thick slabs of roast pork with potato dumpling!

Leberkase they call this huge ham sandwich that u get from the butcher

Sinful Pork knuckle that made me quit german food after...too much cholesterol

Chocolate Snowball from the small medieval town of Rotherburg, Germany

We cannot thank any german food liao so in Wursburg we just ate some asian noodles sold by some vietnamese stall.

Phad Thai cravings in Koln - Spam the chili flakes and sugar haha!

Conclusion

Amsterdam - really love the pancakes there. LEKKER!
Paris - Crepes are really a good snack with so many varieties and eating baguette with a spread is also really a nice way to have a picnic easily. très bon!!!
Rome and Venice - Pizza, gelato and pasta are really the Best that the Italians have brought to the modern world. Delizoso!
Germany - a little too meaty for my taste, probably will have it once in a while in a smaller portion too. Lecker!

When all else fails, there is always KEBAB! Cheap, Delicious and Good everywhere!!!
Asian food is also something that satisfies you dearly after too much western food. The spiciness and rice is really something I haven't seen anywhere else in the world. (I hear african food also super spicy)
