While traversing through the streets of Amsterdam, Muhamad Jamuri bin Busori fell deeply in love with the city. From its vibrant atmosphere and the beautiful bridges, to the Dutch’s bicycle-oriented lifestyle, he knew that there wouldn’t be anything quite like Amsterdam. Upon returning to sunny Singapore, his love affair led him to start a cafe in 2013 that would be all things Dutch.

Now, the I am… Cafe is serves up amazing cafe grub to a bustling crowd everyday. And in case you were wondering, yes, the name is inspired by Amsterdam’s iconic ‘I amsterdam’ sign. Must-trys include the Dutch-inspired Fries & Mayo, featuring crispy thick-cut fries with a generous helping of rich mayonnaise. If you’re here with a group of friends, go for the I am... Platter, an elaborate showcase of all their starters such as the half-shell mussels, soft-shell crabs, buffalo wings, and many more. The perfectly battered Fish ‘N’ Chips has also garnered considerable fame, so be sure to try it while you’re here. You probably would have seen photos of their homemade cakes on your instagram feed, such as the cafe’s popular Rainbow Cake that’s as delicious as it is insta-worthy. The cake has seven layers, representing the rainbow’s seven colours of course. Top it all off with alcohol-free concoctions like the Virgin Lychee Mojito and the Bushramint, and your day’s made!
