DIM SUM SUNDAY • 26/04
Menu set 34,- pp. incl. dessert. Lunch starts from 13.00 o’clock - last food order at 16.00 - drinks till later. This month’s Sunday menu already allows for some spring indulgences: lighter and more delicate dishes with hints of green.
First up is bang bang chicken (棒棒鸡) - a dish whose name is derived from the sound that’s made by smashing poached chicken with a rolling pin. After the smashing it is served cold in a light sauce made of chicken broth, chili oil, vinegar and sesame oil and seeds. It comes alongside a variation of a classic prawn toast. Ours is made by deep frying a slice of brioche topped with kingfish and prawn and covering it in a sweetened smoked eel glaze. Next up are prawn dumplings in a clear pea broth, peas and ginger together with steamed romaine lettuce and a sweet and sour made of fermented red chili and black garlic.
For dessert is niangao (年糕) - which is a glutinous rice cake that’s traditionally steamed but we chose to do a baked version as baking brings out more caramel notes. It comes with walnut crème suisse and honey infused with chrysanthemum.
On top of that, expect: festive mixed drinks, bubbles by the glass and a spring updated wine list. Also, feel free to bring your own precious in exchange for a decent corkage fee. During this lovely day, Zouk enthusiast Josh FB - founder of London based collective Discothèque Tropical, will warm us up for Kings Night with his blend of soulful global music.
See you on the 26th!
With love,
Team Cornerstore

SUNDAY W/ MILAN GATARIC • 29/03
This one’s from the heart: for the last Sunday of March we invited Milan Gataric from restaurant Lux to cook a nostalgic Serbian feast for you. Milan - a Serbian living in Rotterdam - cooks elegant and comforting European food. For the occasion, his dishes will be even more homier and heart-warming than usual and served family style - all at once.
Think of it as a Serbian spring Sunday roast. On the menu is corn bread with sour cream, a burek with duck fat and potato, lamb roast with spring greens, serbian baked bean and a green salad. The dessert is sutlijaš rice pudding with pumpkin seed praliné. A true love affair.
Our longtime friends from Zuiver Wijnen will be pouring delicious Central and Eastern European wines by the glass. Ranging from the rich and big Šumans and Zorjans from Slovenian Styria to the fresh and pure volcanic wines by Bencze Birtok to the uplifting Slovakian Slobodné’s, all to go with Milan’s feast.
Menu set 34,- pp. incl. dessert. Lunch & dinner starting from 13.00 o’clock - last food order at 19.00. This promises to be one to remember, very much looking forward to welcoming you all on the 29th.
With love,

something… ‘my man’ played by @jelmerjelmerjelmer
Recently, Jelmer worked his magic on us again and we reunited with Daan - who worked with us as a waiter when we just opened back in ’21. This time he came by to serve a selection of his favorite records. Also, we’ve enjoyed some intimate moments with our current team exclusively and said farewell to our sous chef, who just became a father. Simon, once again, thanks for everything!
Another goodbye goes to our colleague with arguably the best name ever invented: Wolf de Vos aka Wolf the Fox. We were lucky to have you steering the ship as our floor manager for more than three years. Big up to your immense sense of responsibility and devotion all the way. Best wishes for your next chapter at the recently opened Kamer bar & kitchen. Never forget… “what we do in life echoes in eternity”
DIM SUM SUNDAY • 22/02 • FULLY BOOKED • WALK IN FOR DRINKS
Menu set 29,- pp. incl. dessert. Lunch starts from 13.00 o’clock - last food order at 15.30 - stay for drinks after.
This month’s dim sum sunday features deep fried bean curd rolls filled with kingfish and prawns, accompanied by a large butterflied prawn that’s grilled and served with a sichuan peppercorn sambal. The next round is a pan fried cheung fan (rice roll) filled with Chinese barbecued pork shoulder, known as cha siu. Alongside the cheung fan we offer you a true Beijing classic: Emperor Qianlong’s cabbage. As is often the case in Chinese cooking lingo, Emperor Qianlong had little to do with this dish. Some chef just made it up to market his dish - with great success: it’s on most menus in Beijing restaurants. It’s served with steamed rice topped with lardo and chinese chives. This month’s dessert is black cardamom riz au lait with palm sugar ice cream and an almond crumble.
For those who enjoy a little day drinking - our friends from Troppo Giovane are bringing treats from Jura, Loire and Sicily. We’ll be pouring at least ten specials by the glass in limited quantities. Lots of new vinyl added to our record cabinet as well, come hang out at the bar for the front row experience.
Sunday game plan sorted, already looking forward to celebrating the end of the week - six days countdown.
With love,

MAINS check one two, one two
Romanesco and chinese cauliflower in guaiwei or ‘strange sauce’, a somewhat odd name for a classic and delicious Sichuanese sauce that features spiced soy (soy sauce cooked with spices and sugar), chili oil, mature vinegar, sichuan peppercorn and sesame paste.
Grilled basse côte in black bean sauce. Basse côte is a cut of beef between the neck and the ribs. It’s close to a rib eye but has a bit more flavour, which comes at a slight cost: it has a bit more texture than ribeye. We grill it and simply serve it with fermented black bean sauce, which is a sauce based on fermented black soy beans, garlic, ginger, red chili, soy sauce and shaoxing wine.
DIM SUM SUNDAY • 25/01
Menu set 33,50 pp. incl. dessert. Lunch starts from 1.00PM - last order at 3.30PM - stay for drinks after.
This month’s dim sum treat is headlined by a whole steamed fish in black bean sauce. Accompanying the fish are chicken dumplings in a sauce of smoked green chili and mature vinegar, deep fried lo bak go - a savoury Chinese radish cake - made with lardo and shrimp and a seaweedy salad with tofu noodles, mushrooms and a chili-based dressing. For dessert: riz au lait with clementine ice cream and candied pistachio. Please note, we can only take dietary requirements and allergies into account if these have been communicated to us in advance.
Abel and Jan from Clavelin wine import will be showcasing the 2023 vintage from Jean-Marc Dreyer. A legend of Alsace and the natural wine scene in general, Jean-Marc has an almost cult-like following for his wines. The majority of his cuvées are macerated white grapes from classic Alsace varieties. The maceration is short – usually 6-10 days. Our personal favorites, the wines he makes with a single variety from the same vintage, are all in his Origin series. We can’t wait to offer them by the glass, because they are so freakin delicious. Musical selection from our vinyl collection throughout the day, business as usual.
See you this Sunday.
With love,
Team Cornerstore
