熱騰騰~熟食販賣機超流行


Fast Food, Dutch Style神奇的「熟食」販賣機


If you’re a person who takes pleasure in fast food and window shopping, you should consider taking a trip to Amsterdam to eat at a FEBO. In this unique “restaurant” chain, there is no counter or clerk. You just look through glass windows to find the dish that looks the tastiest, and put the correct change in the slot. The window will open and the steaming meal will be yours to enjoy.念法

The first FEBO began as a small bakery in 1941 and soon became popular for its delicious potato and meat croquettes. In order to meet the demands of so many customers, the company turned its restaurants into automats. The key to offering hot food is that there is a kitchen behind the wall, so cooks can constantly put meals into the machine.念法

Today, customers can eat not only croquettes, but also sandwiches, fried cheese, spicy noodles, and cold desserts. If you ever find yourself at a FEBO, feed the machine some coins and feed yourself some yummy food.念法

如果你是個喜愛速食和瀏覽櫥窗商品的人,你該考慮來趟阿姆斯特丹之旅並在投幣式自助連鎖速食店裡用餐。這間獨特的連鎖「餐廳」中沒有櫃檯或店員。你只要透過玻璃窗來尋找看起來最美味的餐點,然後將正確的零錢放進投幣孔,玻璃窗就會打開,而熱氣蒸騰的食物將供你享用。

第一間投幣式自助連鎖速食是從西元1941年的小麵包店開始,然後很快因為它美味的馬鈴薯加肉可樂餅而受到歡迎。為了滿足眾多顧客的需求,這間公司將它的餐廳轉變成自動販賣機。提供熱食的關鍵在於牆後有間廚房,因此廚師可以持續將餐點放進販賣機中。

現在,顧客不只能享用可樂餅,還有三明治、炸乳酪、辣味麵條和冰涼甜點。如果你發現自己置身投幣式自助連鎖速食店前,不妨將硬幣丟進販賣機中,並把一些美味的食物丟進自己嘴裡吧。
