In hopes of calming my stomach before my dinner at Restaurant 108 (the sister site of the currently closed Noma), I had a banana and ginger ale in a lovely quiet park in the anarchist hippie commune of Christiania.

Lovely pastry! Flaky and buttery yum!

Found a fancy wine shop/delicatessen with artisanal popsicles — perfect for a beautifully sunny day in Copenhagen.

I got a little bit of everything on this plate! My favorite was the rare roast beef. And the rye bread was excellent.

From a hot dog cart outside the Copenhagen city hall. I can't turn down a bacon-wrapped hotdog!

Lovely food hall with a variety of foods, including burgers, BBQ, banh mi, hot dogs, a taqueria, even HK style egg waffles... of course we have those in San Francisco so I went for the bitterballen (Dutch croquette), asparagus (OMG yes why don't they have asparagus stands everywhere?!), and Belgian fries. Oh and of course the beer stand, where the awesome dude working there recommended local beers to me.

Great place with Dutch food that is named "Mothers," and I got the recommendation from someone's mother, of course!

I couldn't leave Amsterdam without trying the famous Dutch apple pie. The crust is less flaky than it is in American pie and has a crunchy, cookie-like texture on the outer edges.

Lunch at the food stands again. The poffertjes were amazing. They are coin-sized, yeast-raised pancakes with a toothsome texture. Much tastier than giant, flabby, American pancakes.

I was too full for dessert. Trying to pace myself! Won't make that mistake tomorrow.

Grabbed a cheap (€1!) smoothie at the flea market near The Rembrandt House Museum.

Back for more! I love herring.

I'm really loving the stamppot (mashed potatoes with mixed vegetables) here! The meatball was more finely textured than the one I had last night.

Snacking on Dutch specialties and really fresh fish from the Vishandel and Original Stroopwafel stands at the Albert Cuyp Market

First dinner after landing in Amsterdam. Traditional Dutch food in a cozy environment. Asparagus is in season! I'm excited.

Picnic lunch for visiting the Keukenhof tulip gardens

Late flight with a budget carrier (no meals provided), so I packed my own meal. And, yes, that is a whole bunch of asparagus. It's my favorite vegetable and is in season now!

I was supposed to go with other people but they were busy... so I decided to go on my own since I was in the neighborhood. The miso egg is a nice addition! They also have a soy sauce egg available. This is the second time I've come here and they've forgotten items. In this case, the duck chashu and the extra slice of pork chashu, but I asked and it was quickly rectified.

I know I should be eating lighter before vacation but I had the most intense craving for burgers and beer. Cravings satisfied!

The poke bowl only comes in one flavor combo here but it's good. The small is just the right size for a small appetite.

Cleaning out my fridge before my month in Europe.

Cute brunch spot in the less gentrified area of SOMA/Mid-Market. The scrambles are good here!

Overpriced mediocre concert fare but a girl's gotta eat so...

I was craving sushi but didn't want to pay sushi bar prices. This is a cheap takeout counter with decent sushi for the price. Don't expect Michelin star amazingness but you'll get a good cheap meal here. The best menu item is their fried oyster burger.
