Amsterdam Restaurant Recommendation: Sinck

🌟I've never tried a Michelin-starred restaurant before. This time, I booked one in the heart of Amsterdam, specializing in fusion cuisine with ingredients from farm to table, supporting local industries. 🌟I rode my bike there this time, and the journey was beautiful with canals on one side and tree shades on the other. 🌟The bread was sourdough with special cream, and the butter was very delicate, with a texture similar to mayonnaise. 🌟For the appetizer, I ordered fish slices, somewhat similar to carpaccio or tiradito, but thicker. The fish was very fresh, not marinated in advance, just the taste of the fish itself and the sauce. The seasoning was very refreshing, with yuzu and pickled lemon peel. Each dish can be paired with a wine, and I was paired with a floral white wine. The sommelier was very patient, letting me taste two wines before making a decision. 🌟The main course was grilled duck breast with cauliflower, asparagus, and salad fries. I saw them use a high-temperature grill to treat the duck skin, and when it was served, the smoky flavor of the duck was very strong, and the inside was cooked just right. The vegetables were average, the skin-on fries were delicious, and the salad was simply seasoned with vinaigrette. The wine paired with it was a Cabernet Sauvignon with high tannins, which perfectly neutralized the greasiness of the duck. 🌟In between, I saw a Spanish cold soup made by the kitchen for other guests. Out of curiosity, I asked about its special features, and they said it used different vinegar and olive oil, as well as high-quality vegetables. The waiter, while talking, casually gave me a small plate. Unlike the traditional Spanish cold soup serving style, there were no breadcrumbs, and fresh vegetables were placed directly on the soup, which was quite novel. The taste was also very good, with the mixed flavors of various vegetables in the cold soup and the contrast of the single flavor of the whole vegetables, making the overall taste very layered. Additionally, the whole cherry tomatoes had a rich flavor. 🌟It was time for dessert, and I tasted their crème brûlée, which had a hint of rum and coffee, with a very even and fluffy texture, not solid at all, very delicious! I also tasted their chocolate éclair, which was characterized by the addition of lemon flavor, but it was too sour for me, and I didn't like it. As we chatted, the waiter also picked up one and ate it, signaling the end of his shift, and we continued to eat and chat until the kitchen closed. It was a very pleasant meal. #Netherlands #Amsterdam #MichelinRecommended #FusionCuisine #DeliciousDishes
