The beginning of 2012 has gone by in a bit of a blur, to be honest. So much has happened, I’m not quite sure how the rest of this year is going to live up to its flying start. In an effort not to jinx it, I think I’ll hold back on telling you more until it does.
In the meantime, it’s been back to reality with a bump. And since I’m not a big fan of sitting at home alone thinking too much, I decided to eat my way through it. So the night before last, I met a friend for a catch-up and dinner at Tabac. Now, Tabac is a little confusing because its interior tells you it’s an old-fashioned eetcafé, while its menu tells you it’s Asian. Still, keeps you on your toes.
The food is nothing spectacular, but then again neither are the prices, so I’d go back for the ambience and Noordermarkt/Prinsengracht/Brouwersgracht location alone. I had some kind of stir-fried beef number (fine) with noodles (not very fine) and prawn crackers. Andrea had chicken tikka masala that was fairly generic, a tad too salty and – weirdly – also came with prawn crackers.
