Lucky King en Hong — Restaurant in Amsterdam

“Masarap!”, the lady behind the counter said, egging me and my girlfriend on to choose the meat and veggies that we would like to garnish our then unfilled plates. A little surprised that she got our native tongue right, we nodded and began choosing 3 types of viand + a carbohydrate (e.g. rice or noodle) that we each wanted on our dishes.
