Lets Go Dutch

Advantages: quick, friendly service, huge panckes, good vlue
Disadvantages: Not much on main menu if you don't like pancakes

...Pancakes should be simple to make since they are only flour, egg and milk right? Well I do like pancakes and not just on Shrove Tuesday but very rarely make them myself. When I fancy a fix I will go to a pancake house or creperie. I have fond memories of the Pancake Place in Scotland and the now sadly gone Dutch Pancake House in Manchester. Now I am in London I do not have to go without my pancake fix as I have discovered My Old Dutch Pancake House. My Old Dutch Pancake House is a mini chain of Pancake Houses with branches in Holborn Central London, Ealing and Chelsea with a new one in Kensington recently opened. I've only visited the Holborn one but if the others are as good I would happily visit them if I was in the area. The Holborn branch is super easy to find, as it is located on High Holborn just two minutes walk from...

Review of My Old Dutch, London

A Dutch of Class

Advantages: Dutch Hospitality
Disadvantages: Average space in economy

...comfortable. In flight entertainment was supplied with seat back LCD screens and a limited supply of movies to watch. The level of service was above average with typical Dutch hospitality and friendliness. The main meals were typical airline food though, nothing special but still eadible. One amusing sight was the choice of early morning snack, a choice between a “pot noodle” or a chocolate ice cream ! I could understand one or the other but the choice, ah well. Schipol is one of the nicer airports to transfer though however, it is sometimes subject to delays going in and out. Although supposedly not as bad this year, it did have a terrible reputation for losing or delaying luggage. But this fortunately didnt happen to me. My luggage was booked straight through so no carting it around, yipee ! On the way back as is...

Review of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

CLOGGING UP THE DUTCH SKIES

Advantages: Fly from regional airports; Provide a gateway to the world; Free sandwich and drink! Get a Demonstration on how to work the emergency exit doors!
Disadvantages: More expensive than the standard budget options; pilots who think they are bike racers; get a demonstration on how to work the emergency exit doors

...In the absence of any of the hotels I have been staying in this week in the Netherlands being listed on Ciao, heres a little about my experience with the Royal Dutch airline, KLM. KLM ? Royal Dutch Airlines This company definitely seem to have the monopoly on flights from regional UK airports into Schipol, Amsterdam, and provides a convenient gateway to the world for people who can?t be bothered to travel to London or Manchester to reach their destination. So what was my business with them? I needed a return flight to the Netherlands for a week long work exchange and checks on all my regional airports, Cardiff, Bristol and Birmingham established that the most cost effective and convenient option was KLM Cityhopper from Cardiff. THE BOOKING PROCESS Flights can be booked on-line, although in this instance, as it was...

Review of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

Not much at the Dutch

Advantages: Convenient, clean, nice atmosphere, reasonably priced.
Disadvantages: Food portions suitable for a Barbie doll

...The Old Dutch is one of a cluster of expat/tourist beer bars along Soi 23, Sukhumvit. Soi 23 runs at right angles to Soi Cowboy - famous for its Bangkok "nightlife". If you are just wanting a drink and something to eat, you'll find Soi 23 more to your taste. The Old Dutch used to be great. Interesting "old Dutch" surroundings with a small library of second-hand paperbacks, newspapers and magazines to read, nice food, scrupulously clean toilets and in general, a very pleasant atmosphere. Then it went downhill. I got served what I believed were slops, the barman wouldn't change it. Nothing was quite right with it any more. Then it changed management so we tried it again. Wow! It had been refurbished but retained all the original atmosphere. The staff were friendly and cheerful and the draft beer just fine. We decided to eat. They...

dutch bike hire in London: a real rip-off

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: deceiving images, you don't get the bikes you are paying for

...Last weekend, me and my friends decided to go for a tour of Regent Canal by bicycle, and therefore we looked for a bike hire service in London. Between all the websites we found this one, an appealing website with photographs of fantastic dutch classical bikes for hire in London. The website shows photographs of really nice and stylish bikes which are for rent at a decent price, 25 pounds per day per bike if you hire them for 1-3 days. Even though there were cheaper options we decided to treat ourselves for one day and choose one of these appealing bicycles, just to make it a really unique experience for one day! If only we knew! The delivery process is quite straightforward, you choose a bicycle and they deliver it to you wherever you are in London with a little van. And here we had the first surprise: they delivered to us 3 bikes...

Review of Dutch Bike Hire, Bayswater

Go Dutch

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...that little bit longer for flying to Amsterdam first, they chose to show two flims, which were in English with Dutch subtitles, and quite up to date. The seats were as comfortable as you're going to get, with just about enough legroom, and I wasn't in too much pain when the time for touchdown came. Overall, I cannot recommend KLM highly enough. And if, like me, you're a big fan of the wilderness, this flight offers the added bonus of flying up and over Greenland - a priceless experience just by itself....

D-Von - bad mutha Dudley

Advantages: Hardened lethal character with technical ability
Disadvantages: No chance of a singles career

...D-Von Dudley is one half of the talented and maniacal Dudley Boyz who wreak havoc on anyone and everything, much to the crowd’s either extreme approval or extreme distaste, depending on the superstar, either male or female, that is unfortunate enough to be making a trip through the table or whatever item of furniture that they are unlucky enough to be using. They have a good gimmick going with the tables thing since it offers a bit of hardcore action to the ECW fans out there, and even have a great TLC (tables, ladders and chairs) match coming up at Summerslam involving the tag champs....

Dutch Delight

Advantages: sweet, jummie, dutch, easy
Disadvantages: fat, calories (don't let this hold you back!)

...--about I decided to share this amazing Dutch recipe with everybody! Although Dutch cakes and biscuits require 'special' ingredients in most cases, this one doesn't, you can find everything in a supermarket. (I hope). This is a recipe for a cake, (well not actually a cake) called 'oliebol'. After the batter is fried in the right way, 1 'oliebol' has the same size as an apple. Whenever it's Christmas, new years eve or Queensway in the Netherlands, this is sold at stands and made at home, served with powerdered sugar. This is just the basic recipe, but they are also made with banana, whipped cream, vanilla cream, cherry and other fruit. So, if you know how to make the normal ones, you can use your imagination on the recipe and make different kinds of 'oliebollen'. I do have to mention, that they are very fatty, and contain lots...

Review of Recipes for Cakes and Biscuits

D-VON... GET THE TABLES!

Advantages: Buh Buh's brother
Disadvantages: Not very charismatic

...The Dudley Boyz have got themselves a bit of a reputation as a no nonsense, hard tag team. This can be seen by the way that all of the other teams are fearful of them and especially so of their table fetish. D-Von is the least prominent of the Dudley Boyz and possibly the least popular. Buh Buh gets all the glory, and perhaps rightly so as his character is a lot better than D Vons. However, Buh Buh couldn't really be as great as he is without D Von. Buh Buh's character is almost by necessity a tag team one, and D Von's character perfectly compliments him....

Review of D-Von Dudley

Saving Ryan's privates

Advantages: Great action sequences
Disadvantages: Slow to start, but gethers pace nicely
