Can ANYONE tell me the best place to get jarred sambals,,, I'm in Amsterdam now (working) staying near Dappermarkt in the east end.

There's several Chinese/Indonesian supermarkts in the Zeedijk, near the Central station and red light district. The one with the largest choice, I think, is Toko Dun Yong

Forgot to mention i will be staying in this area:

Kattengat 1,
Amsterdam, 1012 SZ Netherlands

i am not sure if this is good because is my first time there, but restaurants in that area will be great.

Check out: Keuken van 1870, Hap Hmm or Moeder's Pot. I've only tried the first and it was great: 7.50 for a smoked sausage, mashed potatoes and vanilla pudding. The other two are on my list for when I return.

There are a ton of cheap places to eat in Amsterdam centrum. What kind of food do you like?

The cheapest places include Wok to Walk, Maoz falafel, Febo, and HEMA. Seriously, try a hot dog from HEMA.

I am taking notes, To be honest I can eat Traditional local food and also like a prefix cheap menu,
Definitive I will try the HEMA hot dogs for sure... thank you for the counseling and advice.

Wish I had thought to search this site before going to Amsterdam in June. Currently living in small-town Thailand and would have KILLED for a really great okonomiyaki!

You're welcome. Really, the places I listed are just cheap chain restaurants but the food is good to passable. I do have a fondness for the hotdogs at HEMA, that mustard-herb-butter sauce is terrific.

A few of the non-chain, cheap-ish places I've eaten are Cafe Nielsen in the negen straatjes, Cafe Bern in Nieuwmarkt, and Pancake Bakery a few blocks from Centraal Station.

Two burger places I definitely recommend are Burgermeester and Burger Bar. Both have a couple locations around the city. Really, the most fun is wandering around and finding places that look good to you. Most every restaurant/cafe/etc. has their menu posted, usually in English as well as Dutch.
