Easter in Amsterdam (pt 1)

We took a train into Amsterdam over this past long (Easter) weekend, and spent a Vrolijke Pasen with J's family!

and amidst the fairtrade dark choco eggs, the yummy yummy eatin' and the gezelligheid of being with family...we had this!

hmm...spring onions with chilli sauce from a packet...

(and this is true) - packaging for something familiar sounding (HCR...) that is identical to combat rations from my NS days..

you're right!  its hainanese chicken rice!  We've found the perfect solution to staving off those hunger pangs for hawker fare; prima tastes does an excellent selection of rempahs and pastes, so we can make some good local eatin!

(we later got down to painting easter eggs for the occasion)

and here is our super-festive Easter morning breakfast!!
