Chinees Afhaalcentr. 'Kam-Kee' — Restaurant in Amsterdam

A hole in the wall restaurant with the only giveaway that it is a chinese restaurant inside is the calendar on the wall. BUT we arent here for the decor! The food arrives on the white , white and blue or orange melamine plates so reminiscent of a cha chan ting in hk. The congee doesnt disappoint and it is on point with some flavours you do not get anywhere else in EUROPE. We had the siew mai and the rice rolls with dried shrimp. Interestingly the dried shrimp was INSIDE the skin of the rolls and gave the whole thing an even aroma. This means they made it themselves beforehand and steamed it warm upon ordering.

Worth a mention is the beef brisket . Lovely stuff. We had it with hor fun, but it was tasty nonetheless.

About 90% of the clientele on a tuesday afternoon were cantonese speaking ladies with the odd dutch guy coming in to get a takeaway or a bowl . A real authentic slice of hk amsterdam.

Menus are translated to dutch and english, with chinese wording in the menu folders. The descriptions do a good job of describing the food, but sometimes you need the chinese wording to know what you are really ordering.

Great for a quick bite , exactly like a no frills yum cha place, but still sets you back about 45 for two people, so not a good...

My goto place for all things Chinese. You’ll be hard pressed to find any Chinese place in Amsterdam for same value for money here.

They seem to do everything pretty well and haven’t had a disappointing meal yet. I’ve had a few of those in Amsterdam.

The lunch time dim sum seems popular with other folks but that’s one I haven’t tried.

They get extra bonus points for serving tea properly like the Chinese do and not hot water + tea bag in a mug which annoys...

The best Cantonese restaurant in town! This restaurant is very authentic and a perfect taste of the Cantonese food. It is a family-run and has been in the Piip for more than three decades. It has all the typical dim sum, soup, fried rice noodle,.... for the Hong Kong style of food. Coming from Taiwan as a picky eater, it is a big happy surprise to find such a fine restaurant....
