Rollende Keukens Amsterdam

Last Saturday I went for a day trip to Amsterdam with my sweet friend Linda (Linda Visser @Max Models). Obvioulsy there was some shopping to do, Amsterdam is well known and great for shopping, but first we head to pay a visit to the "Rollende Keukens". A small festival with all trucks selling there food at the Westerpark. It was sunny, such a beautiful day so perfect to walk around in the sun sitting in the grass and enjoying great food and drinks, plus we were hungry!!

Festival area

The Festival is free, the food is a bit expensive but affordable and their range is wide, from crepes, smoothies, sandwiches to fresh lobster, sushi, burgers, veggie burgers, BBQ, burrito's.. yup kinda everything!! So everyone will find something they will like.

Fresh Coconut

We started off with some fresh coconut, but damn all the food is yelling: "Pick me, pick me". You shouldn't eat for a week and then stuff yourself over there hahaha. There was some great BBQ-ed Chicken, some delicious Burrito's, fresh lobster.. tooooo much!! And then I saw the truck of the The Dutch Weedburger (click!)...

No more need to look around, we digged into it! This was something I wanted to try for aaaages but just never came across it when hungry. So choices were all of a sudden really easy! And we went for this baby, a delicious patty made from soy and see weed. The bread is enriched with chlorella and it's served with a delicious creamy sauce. It's all 100% natural, 100% healthy and very important no bullshit added. So, if you see one of these baby's on the menu list when you are on-the-go in Holland, they serve it at Haje Restaurants and on festivals as well please give it a try!

And after all the food porn we went walking it off and did some serious shopping ;-) We found some great vintage stuff, a few key items at Cos and a bikini for the upcoming job-trip to Madeira (lucky, lucky) and for my Holiday in Marrakech end of August of course.

Such a great day! 

My Dear Amsterdam

Haaay Guys!! 

This week I was back in lovely Amsterdam for 2 days. The very first day I had a gym date, I signed up for an insane workout with Model Workout! And we nailed it! After a million burps (okay Jeroen it were 45) and lots and lots of more excercies it was time to see one of my old friends again, Marianne. I know her since college time, when the economy wasn't that great, she made the choice to move to Amsterdam to find a job over there. And she did, she works as an attorney in a law firm. BUT I have never visited her place in Amsterdam! Shame on me, I know.. but it's just not in my system she lives over there hahhaa.

Me and the trainer of Model Workout!

We (me and Marianne) were both late and I was huuuungry so we decided it would be either dining out or dining in with a take away. And then Sla Amsterdam made the announcement on Facebook they would deliver to her region in Amsterdam as well.. YAY!! Easy peasy! I chose the amaranth chicken salad (my body was craving protein) and it was really delicious! Definitely one of my favourite places in Amsterdam to go to! My salad included rocket, amaranth, mushrooms, sweet potato, tomato, organic chicken and Parmesan cheese. A yummy combination including a very tasty dressing! First time I tried amaranth as well, I liked the taste of it. But I would still prefer quinoa though! ;-)

The next morning I had a casting, my first casting with my new book from Max Models. I signed up with them a bit over a month ago and am really happy with my new mother agent. A mother agent is the one that's taking care of your agenda, agency's abroad etc. The bookers are all really nice and doing a lot of effort, so hopefully I will work a lot with them!!

After my casting I went to Venkel, it's kind of a side kick of Sla. So I was eager to see if it would be just as good. And I have to say, I liked it, but Sla stays my favourite one. The portion was smaller, and I'm a big eater ;-) And the dressing was a bit sourly, I chose the "Lente kriebels" salad with chickpeas, peas, avocado, Parmesan, radish and I chose for a bit extra chicken (protein!) for my muscle recovery. I enjoyed it, I really did.. but too much of the sour dressing! ;-)
