Chingu Deli: Korean rice balls conquer the Albert Cuyp

In the middle of the Albert Cuypmarkt, since May this year Chingu Deli - the place where Korean jumeok-bap (rice balls) combine nostalgia for Asia with a fresh, Amsterdam vibe. Trendy, colorful and irresistibly delicious: this is the moment to taste the Pijp again.

Walk past the bustle of the market and almost trip over the rice balls. Chingu, a Korean-Taiwanese delicatessen bar, serves hand-rolled jumeok-bap in rich flavors: from Mayak Egg - with soft-boiled egg - to Bulgogi Beef, King Crab and crunchy Cheesy Corn. Each ball is perfectly proportioned and fills your hand and hunger with loving complexity.

But it doesn't stop there. Chingu also shows himself a master of sweet show: colorful yuuchee lagoon With layers of lychee and yuzu - just one touch sweet - and dalgona coffee that is viral proof. Instagramgers already love the visuals, and we get it: pastel-colored drinks, white tiles and friendly countervibes feel like Bangkok in the city.

What guests praise most? The authenticity and convenience. TikTok and Insta applaud: "Best rice balls in Amsterdam" and "in love with this deli.". The balls are quick to prepare, easy to carry and just complex enough to tantalize your taste buds. And although you can score them in 30 seconds, they taste like hours of love was put into them.

"Jumeok-bap is comfort food you can swing with - literally and figuratively."

Chingu is all about experience without fuss: a colorful terrace, friendly team and simple seating invite tasting, sharing and coming back. Increasingly, you hear a "More!" when people eat their first ball - not just from kids, but from anyone who just thought onigiri was cool
