filipino UBE CAKE

Om onze Filipijnse roots te vieren, introduceren we met trots de nieuwste toevoeging aan ons menu: Ube Cake!
Deze felpaarse cake wordt gemaakt met een typisch Filipijns ingrediënt: de paarse yam (Ube). Voor veel Filipino’s staat deze smaak symbool voor comfort, feest en het gevoel van thuis. De smaak wordt vaak omschreven als zacht, romig en lichtzoet, met een vleugje vanille en subtiele nootachtige tonen. Eén ding is zeker: iedereen is het erover eens… het is heerlijk!

SOY-GARLIC BITTERBALLEN

Dé ultieme Nederlandse snack, opnieuw uitgevonden met krachtige en heerlijke Aziatische smaken. Goudbruin en knapperig van buiten, warm en romig van binnen: deze bitterballen zijn huisgemaakt en gevuld met malse, gemarineerde en gegaarde stukjes kip. De hartige soy-garlic ragout maakt elke hap rijk, hartverwarmend en een tikkeltje zoet.
Perfect om te delen tijdens een borrel met vrienden, familie of collega’s — maar zorg dat je genoeg hebt, want ze zijn zó verslavend lekker dat ze verdwijnen voordat je het doorhebt.

Henk and Diana was extremely warm hosts and very accommodating to our requests! We were onboard on one of the colder days recently and fortunately it was covered up and the heater was on!…

Henk and Diana were both extremely knowledgeable and putting the art pieces on display into words. We even got to visit a “secret” canal that was secluded away from the busy canal traffic and we got to observe how the buildings evolved through the times with their design.

As for food, we had the Adobo, Cheese Fondue, Winter Puffs, Pintxos and the Charcuterie all of which were extremely well prepared and to our liking! We ordered the drinks on board and had Gluhwein, Hot Chocolate, Beer and etc. (Look at the photos attached!)

Diana also mentioned that she’s in the midst of exploring new menus and it’s extremely nice to hear both Diana and Henk sharing their stories on how they ended up on this venture together as well.

The food and tour was great, coupled with the warmth and lights around us made it a highlight for my family and I during our trip to the Netherlands. We even celebrated a birthday on board!

Would love to be on board again, perhaps in the spring or summer for a barbecue!

and booking process. When we arrived, the boat was beautifully lit and wonderfully warm inside despite the cold weather.

Henk and Diana were both lovely hosts and extremely knowledgeable about the artworks along the route. The food—freshly prepared by Diana, who is a very talented chef—was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire two-hour tour; the time just flew by. Our hot chocolate and glühwein were always topped up quickly, making the whole experience feel extra cosy.

I would definitely recommend this tour. We’re already looking forward to booking again in the summer, this time for the barbecue experience!

Thanks for a lovely evening!!!!

side dishes, canapés, and delicious desserts.

We were a bit worried about the cold at first, but it wasn’t an issue at all because the boat has heaters and can be fully closed with a hood, making it warm and comfy for the tour.

Diana and Henk were incredible hosts: so kind, welcoming, and genuinely fun to be around. They guided us through every light installation with great stories and insights, all while we sipped mulled wine and hot chocolate in a super cozy atmosphere.

Even before the tour, they were extremely patient and helpful in answering our questions, carefully accommodating all dietary requirements and walking us through the available options.

Truly one of the best experiences we’ve had in Amsterdam, with the best hosts—we can’t wait to come back!
