And once you've bought some for later, why not pop into Café Gollem to try a couple on tap and maybe a Kaasplank (literally a plank with cheese & bread on it). Very satisfying.

Very, very good Indonesian food.

If you have to drink mass-produced Heineken, don't worry, there's hundreds of other cafes to choose from.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11137 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11134
