Delicious Rotterdam 

Gijsbregt Brouwer van de Buik van Rotterdam: 'Pad Thai is Thailand's most famous dish and was developed to celebrate the unification of Thailand. Pizza Margherita is the most famous pizza and was developed to honor the Italian Queen Margherita. In Rotterdam we can also do something about it and that is why it is high time to add a dish to this. What will soon be the tastiest Kingday dish in Rotterdam?

Idea of citizens of Rotterdam

The idea for the Rotterdam Kingday dish comes from the people of Rotterdam. They were able to submit all their ideas for the Kingsday program and theme last year. From more than 700 entries, 100 Rotterdammers were invited to come up with ideas together. In Rotterdam, all smells, colors and flavors come together. The idea for a real Rotterdam King's Day dish was quickly born and was taken up further together with the Buik van Rotterdam.
