 Lekker! Babi Pangang ©
Copyright Tine Verheyden by davequ
For the uninitiated, Louis is a Bay Area writer of world-class essays and journals about his exploits in Amsterdam, along with many other topics.
Louis is also one of the few Americans with the energy, brains and chutzpah to get off his ass and actually learn to speak Dutch (we are not worthy...)
One of my favorite Louis Bryan essays is Dutch in Three Weeks
Provided you are not a mouth-breathing american drug tourist, and if you like good writing, kick back some evening with a bottle of jong jenever (and maybe even a puff or two) and savor some of Louis Bryans writing "downstairs" at Noe Hill. ..it will grow on you....
On to the food.....
Louis recommends babi pangang, (sometimes "bami ") what I thought was an Indonesian pork dish, but New King is touted as "one of the best Chinese restaurants in Amsterdam, " so go figure..?
Either way, both at New King's website menu and in Ms Verheydens lovely foto it looks delicious!!
I have been fortunate enough to share a meal or two with Louis, and though I have yet to eat at the New King, you can bet that will be my first stop next time I'm in Amsterdam and babi pangang will be my entree of choice. Give it a shot, and let us know what you think.
Geniet van uw maaltijd, alstublieft!
Here is a review of the restaurant:

We ate at this Chinese restaurant, near the red-light district area, on the first night. They had an eat as much as you can (from the buffet) in an hour offer for 7.50 Euros. Thanks to Sabsi for the recommendation!

'New King' is right opposite the Buddhist temple in Chinatown on Zeedjik.Its definitely the best Chinese we had in Amsterdam.The ambience is great and I preferred it to the much talked about 'Nam Kee' next door.Friendly staff,yummy food and nice place in general.Good for dinner as they only have half the place opened at lunch time.
Rice dish with Roast Duck,BBq Pork and Crispy Pork!!i absolutely loved it.Huge portions and great value for money.Must visit.
The Noodle soups are good too. Leave a Comment Theme: Chinese/Dim SumPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Chinatown

I had Sweet & Sour Chicken which was rather spicy (be careful with the red chillies!!) but a taste sensation!!

It's always packed with people but you will always get a free seat if you wait a little while!

This is a mandarin cousine place and we got there by pure flook. Quite busy and very popular with locals and tourist alike. I noticed that many oriental people was enjoying their dinner here, which to me is always a good sign. We had the Nasi Goreng with duck and two kinds of pork meat at 9.50 euro , the Mihoen a la Singapore (pasta with sea food) at 10.50 and two beers at 2.50 each. The food was absolutely fantastic.
Nasi Goreng, lots of meat and realy tasty. Leave a Comment Theme: Chinese/Dim SumPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Zeedijk 115 - 1012 AV AmsterdamPhone: +31-20-6252180Directions: Between CS and Nieuwmarkt. Opposite the chinese templeWebsite: http://www.newking.nl
