If you pass through Chinatown of Amsterdam, which is highly likely considering its strategic location in the center and alongside the Red Light district, you may be overwhelmed with the bounty of Asian food restaurants.

A Dutch/Philippino friend of mine offered to take me to her favourite. We walked along the Zeedijk up almost to Prins Hendrikkade, then hung a left and an immediate right.

On tine Nieuwebrugsteeg, KAM YIN offers delicious dim sums, Senegalese foods, soups, chicken dishes, and fragrant jasmine tea by the potful. The food we ordered that day was delicious and I've been back since. Once again, the quality was high with a low price tag. This place is recommended, The setting is less than inspiring, but its not bad either and the food makes up for it. Consider it a safe bet for anytime good Asian cuisine.
