What is your favorite street food dish? If you liked this video, you may enjoy: First Time in the Netherlands - Food Tour (ua-cam.com/video/vEr6iuEs6kU/v-deo.htmlsi=xbMgqmdHk_aJbJrT ) or Trying REAL DUTCH FOOD in Amsterdam (ua-cam.com/video/innguZTHGH4/v-deo.htmlsi=JF9MKo5JQ-F4e2QV )
One of the staples in the Netherlands is "Erwtensoep". It's a split pea soup with smoked sausage. As a Dutchie, who lives abroad, that is one of the things I miss.
The poffertjes where over priced. And if they taste like pancake they are made wrong they need to be more fluffy as pancakes. And the gril thing they where made on is not a nornal dicht version
And that worstenbroodje was not a real one. Not even close, that's like throwing a random piece of meat in a hamburger bun and calling it a hotdog. A real worstenbroodje is the same length, but half the size. The worst is more a piece of ground beef sausage. And the other layer or crust part is more of a Dough, a dough like a cross between bread and pastery.
Guys, you missed out on the 'Kapsalon' ('Barber's Shop'), which is rather sad that you missed it. Rotterdam is the home of the Kapsalon, it was invented in this town! Basically, French fries with shawarma meat topped with garlic sauce, Suriam peanut sauce etc. Variations are possible! Kapsalon even has its own Wiki page. Oh btw, bitterballen-style food is often referred to as 'brown fruit'. Finally, as a local, I think you managed to find good background spots when filming this. Thanks for the efforts to make my town 'shine'.
Pindasaus op je kapsalon?? 🤢 Gozer, je ben gestoord! Weet je zeker dat niet uit amsterdam ben komen infiltreren? Geen echte rechtgeaarde Rotterdammert zou zo iets goors bedenken! En geen shoarma tent heeft pindasaus op het menu, sowieso. Met goeie reden, ook. Koekwaus. 😂
The poffertjes are way too expensive… I prefer them from a original Poffertjes kraam, made in a huge poffertjespan, and only butter and powdered sugar ❤
Nou, ik vond eerlijk gezegt alles vrij prijzig. begrijp wel dat je als tourist de weg niet weet maar ik ben toch wel blij met mijn patatzaakie op de Oranjeboomstraat. Markthal is erg mooi maar voor de normale mens niet te betalen.
Yeah and the taste of the poffertjes is great as long as they use the bukwheat flour, otherwise it's mainly a small pancake. It makes them more nutty in taste and a lot of places skip it.
Normale Rotterdammers gaan als ze al een "Markthal" ervaring willen hebben gewoon naar Fenix, Foodhallen of gewoon je buurtmarkt. Toeristische geldklopperij is het...
@@jannetteberends8730 Yeah the dutch are not much better informed in many cases. The old taste is hard to find in many stands. I think because buckwheat flour is harder to work with and they want the prettiest fluffiest poffertjes. I don't think real poffertjes wil be that good with nutella, butter and powdered sugar is the best way with those. My moms were amazing and almost totaly flat, haha But did not taste like regular pancakes.
Vanillevla and chocoladevla are desserts on its own. Usually served with a dot of whipped cream. It's not a topping and it is a true dairy containing Dutch product. There are nowadays more flavors and there are also these containers with "Dubbelvla" DON'T shake these as they contain both flavors side-by-side in the carton container! Just pour it in a dish 🙂
@@Ingemardrs Every Dutch person has drank vla straight from the carton at least once in their life. And still a whole lot of them do it daily. Why bother making dishes dirty anyway?
Btw, the “worstenbroodje” you’ve had is not a real worstenbroodje. Worstenbrood comes especially from the province of Brabant and looks and tastes very differently than the one you’ve had in Rotterdam.
As a Dutch (from Rotterdam) living in Singapore I am salivating watching this video. Everything looked amazing except the poffertjes. Those don’t need all the fuss: plain with butter and powdered sugar is best!
the ij is very easy to pronounce and also the ei are pronounced as the german ei. the sate is so popular in the netherlands because of our historie with indonesia
Oorlogsaus literally means war sauce. :D Also, I cannot adequately express my joy over Deana getting Phil to use the phrase "shit ton" as a volume description. Well done, fellow American!
As a Dutch guy, I love your food channel. And yes, we love Asia food especially Malay/Indonesian food because of our colonial history. Anyway, I'm a big fan of your channel !!😊
For Dutch street food, mainly in the big cities en especially in R'dam you should try the Suriname Buns (Broodje bakkeljau, kip kerrie, pom etc..) Next to Suriname it self it is pretty unique and taste wise miles apart from al kind of other sandwiches.
You really nailed the places you went to this time! But it is a bit of a shame to go to Rotterdam and not try the Kapsalon because it originated in Rotterdam!
@@on-the-pitch-p3w he ordered it regularly as a hairdresser who had his barbershop next to a Turkish snackbar. He asked for that specific combination of things which the restaurant did not sell normally. So the Turkish restaurant got to slowly know it as "Kapsalon" which basically means barbershop. People seen him eat it or order it and tried it themselves and it took off nationwide. So yeah, I believe he ate it alot. 😂
Superb review. We Dutchies approve. Great pronunciation too. Kudos! And it must be said Rotterdam is awesome. And that is saying something by a born Amsterdammer.
Some extra info: Friet/patat: The fries you ate are called a "patatje oorlog", which means fries of war. I think refering to the battlefield and all the mess you make with the peanut sauce (saté, from Indonesia (old colony)) and mayonaisse with the onions. As you mentioned, Dutch fries (called "frietjes" below the rivers and "patat" above) come in different sizes. The ones you ate are the classical thick size, but there are also some that are called "oma's frieten", grandma's fries, which are cut more roughly and thicker. Belgian fries do show similarities with especially the latter. By the way, mayo also differs between the NL and Belgium, where the Belgian one is more sour. I like both a lot. Both countries have a real "frietcultuur" or fries culture. You typically buy all of that, including "brown food" in a "frietkraam/patatkraam" in the NL or a "frietkot" in Belgium, which both refer to a small stall in the street. A store is called a "snackbar/frituur" in the NL, but I think in Belgium they also call it a frietkot. Both countries also use the word "frituur" to describe both the stalls and the stores. As you may realize, lots of words for the same concept, a store, but it underlines the importance in both cultures. The more you know. Febo/trekmuur/automatiek: That is besides the "trekmuur" you still find at the Febo stores in the Netherlands. I think you have already used them. Unique relic from the early 1900s using I think a German invention called an "automatiek" or automat in English. Lost popularity almost all over the world in the 1950s, except for the NL! Poffertjes: Poffertje(s) are indeed small pancakes and fluffy. They are tasty with butter and powdered sugar, but are really expensive where you bought them. The classic style tastes very good too. Vla: The "vanille vla" is not really something you drink out of the package. Although almost similar in thickness, that would be a "drinkyoghurt". Vla is typically something you eat as desert in a bowl, sometimes topped with whipped cream. When you add syrup (like you use for lemonade, often raspberry or strawberry flavour), it's called a vlaflip. When you add chocolate flavoured vla to vanilla, it's called duovla or dubbelvla. When you add small little pieces of crispy chocolate balls (really tiny), it's called bolinovla. Very tasty, all of them. Kroket: A kroket is effectively a big bitterbal (or perhaps the other way around). Both the same beef filling. There is also a different variation called a "goulashkroket" which, understandably, has goulash inside. Couple of other more niche variations, but those two are the most known ones, where the beef filling is the most popular. Saucijzenbroodje/worstenbroodje: Some I think unknown sausage, probably spiced minced meat, put in "bladerdeeg" or puff pasty in English. Other variations are called a "worstenbroodje", which uses bread instead of puff pastry, and originates from the province of Noord-Brabant (their pride and joy), located below the three rivers, but is nowadays sold all over the NL. The one you ate had an abnormal bread shape, way too wide than normal. Last popular variation is a "frikendelbroodje" which contains a frikandel and often curry sauce in also a more greasy puff pastry. Indonesian food: As mentioned in the paragraph about the "patatje oorlog", the NL has a lot of Indonesian food, like the UK has Indian food. It is Dutchified, so adapted to our palate. For some strange reason, it's often consumed via take-out , called the "afhaalchinees". "Chinees" refers to Chinese, of course, but is not Chinese food at all, but, as mentioned before, Indonesian food. It seems like it has been completely rebranded and sold as if it is Chinese by Chinese workers. Alternatively, when you go to a true Indonesian restaurant, "rijsttafels" are really popular (rice tables, literally). Like tappas in Spain, where you all share a lot of different plates and pick what you like. Really nice. price performance ratio = prijskwaliteitsverhouding, by the way.
I love their cheese and it’s so different than when I was there in the 60’s but in a good way. We watched the cheese being unloaded and sampled it. Great place. Sixty one years later I still remember being there.
8:30 if you like Vla then I know something that completely surpasses everything in the field of vla they call it: Campina Slagroomvla vanille. whipped cream has then been added to the vanilla vla it is delicious..
Haha, Dutchie here! Aah dont drink Vla! Its a dessert :) And wowww you payed alot for those Poffertjes, as more people commented; they are the best with just a cube of real butter melting on top of the poffertjes, with powdered sugar :D
Als je geen lepel hebt en/of je vanwege een gebrek aan schaaltjes een mok of beker gebruikt, is het prima drinkbaar. Bij scouting hadden we geen schaaltjes, maar wel bekers, dus heb ik al eens vla gedronken op kamp.
Nice. Dat hebben jullie goed gedaan. All the snacks are typical Dutch. Even the sate. One item was some way off. Poffertjes you normally eat just with a big piece of butter that melts And seasoned with powder sugar. You got the tourist version of poffertjes. Way overpriced. Cool video.
well the Patatje Oorlog is usually Sate Sauce & Mayonaise.. not samurai sauce. I also found the fries to be overpriced and most definitly the snacks that they got.
Poffertjes, like pancakes, are really easy and affordable to make yourself. Always add buckwheat flower to the plain flower (the ratio depends on which recipe you use) and yeast, that is what gives them their specific taste. Traditionally eaten with butter and powdered sugar. About the gulls: where I live, near the beach, they don’t wait patiently until you drop some food. They simply grab it out of your hands in full flight. Always keep your food close to your chest, so they can’t get to it.
Please tell phil your not supposed to drink vla from the carton. You should put it in a bowl and eat it with a spoon. Can also be served with whipped cream.
How nice you visited my hometown, Rotterdam. Pomm's is around the corner of my Rotterdam office. I practically grew up, and had my first job on that street. Had lunch at Pomm's, Bram Ladage and in the Markthal many times. You didn't visit our Chinatown? I do two, three tours for friends, relatives, foreigners, strangers, showing them all places worth visiting, and all sorts of food. When I came to live in Rotterdam, it was predominantly a white city, in a time when people considered macaroni and spaghetti exciting foreign food. Since then Rotterdam became the largest blue collar city of which the majority has an immigrant background: +180 etnicities. That shows in the food diversity. You visited the Markthal quite early. Normally it's quite hectic and full of tourists 😊 Thanks for the video 👌🏼
When I was in Cologne, there was a fry place that had peanut sate sauce on the menu so I ordered the “oorlog” (war) and the guy explained to me they don’t have any peanut sauce because nobody orders it there because Germans don’t like it, which surprised me. The peanut sate sauces comes from the Indonesian influence in the Netherlands. Really enjoying your videos.
FYI, the harbor area with the "strange" ship you mentioned is the Museum harbor packed with historic ships and other harbor things like old cranes and such. The naval museum is right next to it. And another FYI: On the plaza next to that museum and harbor is a statue looking to the sky with arms raised and missing its heart. It represents Rotterdam's destroyed city center by German bombers during WW2. This was how the Germans made the Dutch government surrender. Also the reason why the Rotterdam city center is so modern and open because it was totally rebuilt after the war. Always nice to see people enjoying the city I was born and raised in. Most just visit Amsterdam which is totally different as it filled with small streets and historic buildings compared to mostly modern Rotterdam.
quick history lesson about the sate: the Netherlands had a lot of colonies, like a whole lot, and many major ones were in southeast asia, primarily indonesia, which is why things you'd commonly find as streetfood there, are also available here, and why our "chinese" restaurants are actually primarily westernified (im gonna call it that) indonesian restaurants.
If you like vla, try Advocaat with whipped cream on top. It is very much a Dutch classic. Advocaat is like the grown-up version of vla and contains brandy, it usually contains about ten percent alcohol and is often put on vanilla ice cream as well. Also with whipped cream by the way, because, well...why not?
If you like vla, than you should try Campina vla. It says zacht luchtig on the front. There are 3 kind of flavors. Vanille banana and raspberry. They are all insanely good.
The ship on 7:19 is a graanelevator (grain sucker) wat was used to suck grain or other powdery or granular cargo from one ship and blow it in another ship. (from an inland vessel to a sea vessel or vice versa).
It's so nice to see you guys enjoying Rotterdam. If you ever plan to come back, visit the Kruiskade in Rotterdam. It's a whole other part of Rotterdam, you'll get an amazing experience of the international restaurants lining the street. Stadshuisplein has a terrace called Coconuts with a Caribbean vibe. Witte de Withstraat is also lined with terraces, where you can peoplespot and enjoy mostly Dutch food.
I’m not from the Netherlands but Belgium but good price quality ratio is goede prijs kwaliteitsvergelijking😊 please come to Belgium soon! My city is Ghent! Really beautiful!
My speaking Dutch is Flemish, but I think the difference would be in we would say in Belgium kwaliteitsvergelijking and I think in the Netherlands they use kwaliteitsverhouding, there is a slight difference in words, but our writing Dutch is the same.
@@GoodOldErin Thats a Dutch thing 😅 Belgians would never haha, I’m not saying it’s wrong but it’s not in our culture, we do it on a saté, we have 20 other sauces to our on fries though, the main Dutch sauce Belgians like on their fries is the joppie,
Tip: Also try herring (called 'Hollandse Nieuwe' or 'Maatjes Haring') with chopped onion. You can either hold the fish by the tail and lower it into your mouth, or ask the fishmonger to cut it in pieces and serve it with a wooden pick/forklet ('in stukjes'). Also try the sour herring ('Zure Haring'), and in its rolled-up form: "Rolmops", the latter is filled with pickled onion. Finally, try a smoked herring - reminds a bit of smoked mackerel.
mmmm herring!!!! so delicioussss!!! New herring, Hollandse Nieuwe: best never to eat it with onions/pickles.. just the fish.. the onions actually spoil the taste of the freshly caught fish.. one uses it rather in later months (after October when it's not really new catch anymore) or to camouflage when a herring could be "off"....
@@SuperPassionflower I'm under the impression that onions are added for the texture, not to disguise any kind of spoilage (it's also a myth that people in the Middle Ages used spices to make rotten meat edible - it won't).
@@PaulaBean the info I have was given to me by a reputed -now retired- herring vendor and confirmed in a few fish shops here in Amsterdam. to be properly correct, it's to do with the salts used in the barrels of herring. the longer the fish stays in barrel the more it affects the taste, it gets too salty over time which is not the case when it's fresh catch say kept until Oct. adding onions and pickle neutralises the saltness. it simply became a custom to take herring with onions and pickle even when it's new catch, and that is a shame in a way
oh, in addition, since you mention Hollandse Nieuwe and also Maatjes Haring: Hollandse Nieuwe is the new catch and can be officially named as such up until Sept. After that it actually should no longer be called Hollandse Nieuwe but Maatjes Haring (and yes, onions and pickles come in handy)
You overpaid for the poffertjes, but I'm so glad to see someone else who also drinks the Vanille vla straight from the package. Welcome to the club of Vla drinkers Phil! We need to keep spreading this technique
Great video. I am off to Rotterdam in a few weeks time so this video came at the right time. I definatly want to try those fries with the peanut sauce.
Great video as always guys thanks. As a proper Dutch i'ld say you got it all messed up on the poffertjes. How the Dutch eat it is with just butter and powder sugar. If you taste them like that you notice that they're fluffier than pancakes but also just slightly chewy, that balance between fluffy and chewy but not too much does it. That butter and sugar is also very old fashioned.
The Vla Phil bought, in The Netherlands we put it in a little bowl and we eat them as dessert, after dinner (atleast in my household) We also have a lot of Indonesian food in the Netherlands because Indonesia was a colony of the Netherlands :)
Next time in the Netherlands, visit a Surinamese restaurant. And if it’s winter, buy a "broodje rookworst" bij with a warm Dutch smoked sausage which outclasses any hotdog you’ve ever had.
If you have the chance, try a warm 'appelflap' they look like a triangular puff pastry usually with sugar on top, it's really good when it's a little warm.
You can buy the poffertjes in bags at the supermarket for much cheaper! Ofcourse the fresh ones are better, but the store bought are also very good and sweet! That allows you to add your fave toppings for much cheaper at home!
In slang we sometimes refer to McDonald's as the metro. Also, we more typically talk about quality instead of performance when it comes to price. So we are more likely to say 'een goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding'.
Good to see you enjoyd the dutch food, can you go next time to Den Bosch ('s-Hertogenbosch) ? There they have real worstenbroodjes, this one was fake, and get Bossche bollen from Jan de Groot, the real ones..❤
8:40 I've never seen someone drink it before, lol, but I suppose it's possible. It's typically eaten out of a bowl with a spoon. I like to add in hagelslag of chocolade vlokken.
OK. Since you like kaassouffle and the peanutsauce, this is going to rock your world: Try a 'Broodje Kaassouffle met Pindasaus'. Cheese souffle with the peanutsauce on a bun. You're going to love it!
I just can not get enough when I hear an American talking about Dutch food. I love America and American food especially food sweetened with Maple sirup. The love is mutual.
Whenever i AM in the netherlands i make sure to go to Albert heijn and buy an air dried sausage called fuet with either garlic or manchego cheese....by far the best snack ever
I have never been to the Netherlands, but I ate dutch food in Aruba, and it was absolutely amazing. The Gouda cheese, the croissants,The Poffertjes, and the Dutch pancakes were amazing. To me, the Dutch pancakes were my favourite! They come both savoury and sweet. You probably already had them. Nevertheless, awesome videos as always I just subscribed.😊
Funny thing is, if youve been to aruba, you could technically say youve been to (the kingdom of) the netherlands! Aruba is kinda like scotland is for the UK i suppose
Hey guys, as a Dutch person i did enjoy the video. But i do have some tips: 1: let a vendor or a dutch person pronounce the food, then everyone knows how to say it and order it. 2. Dutch snacks are in general cheaper from a stand on the street than a fancy snackbar. 3. Vla is a Dutch dessert, so we normally don't drink it. But put it in a bowl and eat it with syrup, fruit etc. (Whatever u like haha) 4. When u compare Dutch serving sizes (drinks and food) with American ones, u will always be dissapointed haha. I think in the U.S.A they are too big, and the rest of the world they are normal.😊 Thanks for the promotion of our tastefull Dutch snacks though!🎉❤
As a true potato guy, i would like to hear the opinion on RASfriet from phil. And does he still counts that as potato's 🤔 and to make it dutch make it a RASfriet met joppie saus😂
@@tkuzu9548 There is some similar dish in Scotland, look for 'Scottish Egg'. It's a hard boiled egg in a coating of minced meat, then breaded and deepfried. Bon appetit!
To answer one of your questions, "Vla" is indeed not really meant to be drank like that. It's mostly used for desserts or some people have it with their cereal in the morning. Of course, you can eat it however you like, but a bowl of strawberries, banana and Vla can go a long way as an amazing dessert.
In those shops they most likely do. But for most Dutch, the original topping is the way to go. Just real butter and powdered sugar. We do use syrup on Dutch pancakes.
Like your video’s as a dutch! Next time in the Netherlands you should really try “boterkoek”; its pastry and tasted sooooo good! Vla is eaten in a bowl with a spoon, sometimes with wipped cream. Also you should go on the countryside and by dutchfarm cheese on a farm shop, try the “old” cheese; like the dutch version of parmesan!
Poffertjes are best with powdered sugar and a small lump of real butter. Anything else is a waste of money. Customization is very American and not desired by Dutchies. Any place offering that is tourist trap. All these instagrammable places are too expensive and too overdone. Just accept the true taste of Dutch tradition.
As a Belgian, I have never eaten fries that were the same thickness/thicker than what you have just eaten. If you serve those fried potato wedges in a 'Frituur' in Belgium you'd have to find a new job within a year. And don't forget, we invented them so all the other varients are "wrong". :p
Well you guys don't have peanut sauce so a lot of us don't really care. Its like Italians complaining about new York style Pizza or what ever the living fuck dr oetkar ristorante pizza is supposed to be. just static in the void.
Allé zenne, fout fout fout. Voila de arrogantie. Jullie in Vlaanderen hebben Franse en Congolese etcetera. invloeden, culinair gesproken, maar wij Belgische, Franse, Surinaamse, (Chinees, Inheemse, Indiase, Javaanse) en Indonesische gerechten. Wij zijn hier, evenals jullie, gezegend. Geen plaats voor arrogantie....
I think that the Belgian mayo has more vinegar than the Dutch version. More vinegar is historically correct. It was custom in the older days: (even boiled) potatoes with a dash of vinegar used to be a common dish in the Low Lands.
Allright time to answer a few questions @dianaandphil. 5:14 the word is ''Prijs-kwaliteit verhouding''. 6:30 you certainly did overpay for poffertjes, you'll always find the best ones on the street markets and the ones advertesing with nutella are usually worse. 8:50 what.. what are you doing? Vla is a dessert, served in a bowl (whipped cream and hagelslag optional) and eaten with a spoon, drinking it will make it curdle ;). The reason why you'll find pindasaus all around the Netherlands is due to the Indonesian influence we've had throughout the 20th century. Keep on making these fun vlogs! S
2.40 You're in front of the Bijenkorf on the Coolsingel. I worked on the other side a long time ago. As kids we used to go to the movies next to the Bijenkorf. There was Cineac AD and Cineac NRC opposite from eachother. Haven't been there for quite a while, don't think they still exist.
As a Dutchy, I'd say yes. I can't think of any dutch snacks that isn't either fried or covered in dough. We do have plenty of non-fried doughy stuff like stamppot, raw herring, snert (peasoup Dutch style), but not really as snack. If you want something different as a snack it's going to be a foreign kitchen to choose.
This wasn't a traditional "worstenbroodje". Worstenbroodjes traditionally were from Brabant (Noord-Brabant) in the south of the Netherlands (Eindhoven should have had some good ones). There is a lot of quality difference in the ones being sold. Mostly the ones in bakeries and butchers are of good quality. The ones in supermarkets are hit-and-miss. In the past almost everyone made their own at home for festivities (after Christmas midnight mass for example).
Do you know of a good kapsalon place in Rotterdam? We tried one there and it was not that great (and didn't include it in this video) We enjoyed the one we ate in Amsterdam much more!
@@DeanaandPhilKapsalon was invented by shoarma shop "El Aviva" in Rotterdam. I've never had theirs tbh (been vegetarian for 10+ years), but it might be nice to try the original 🙂
You should try the Belgian "worstenbrood". It is massive, with one or two sausages in it. You buy it in a bakery, but not all have it, and not all the time. And there is also the "appelbol", which is a pastry with a whole spiced and sugared apple in it. I normally combine both, start with the savoury "worstenbrood" and finish with an "appelbol". In general, if you are in Belgium, go to a bakery and try a lot of the stuff they offer.
Cool video . I was also there last week in Rotterdam in the Food hall and also had Sate' w. bread. My favourite. I live in LA and there are only a few Indonesian restaurants here but in Holland there are everywhere. My favourite food !
Prawn croquettes, they are more populair in Belgium/France/Spain/Portugal but my stomach is tinkling now to visit Rotterdam... For the sweeties: Go to the South of Netherlands (Maastricht) and get: Proemevlaai (Plum tart?) with cream on top :D . ua-cam.com/video/vWApL4tkCPI/v-deo.html

The poffertjes where over priced. And if they taste like pancake they are made wrong they need to be more fluffy as pancakes. And the gril thing they where made on is not a nornal dicht version

Pindasaus op je kapsalon?? 🤢 Gozer, je ben gestoord! Weet je zeker dat niet uit amsterdam ben komen infiltreren? Geen echte rechtgeaarde Rotterdammert zou zo iets goors bedenken! En geen shoarma tent heeft pindasaus op het menu, sowieso. Met goeie reden, ook. Koekwaus. 😂
100% agreed, it's the sagnature dish of Rotterdam!
can only eat so much in one visit, kapsalon is very filling so it's the obvious choice going for smaller snacks
They tried kapsalon in their Amsterdam video,.. I recommended the original Rotterdam kapsalon below that video that video
As a Dutchie, you overpayed for the poffertjes.
waaaay overpayed i was shocked when i saw the price
32 Gulden WTF
The tourist trap, no dutchie will pay that. Market hal is the same, so expensive. Also a tourist trap.
Yeah, I almost got a heart attack!
so where should i buy them thwn?
The poffertjes are way too expensive… I prefer them from a original Poffertjes kraam, made in a huge poffertjespan, and only butter and powdered sugar ❤
Nou, ik vond eerlijk gezegt alles vrij prijzig. begrijp wel dat je als tourist de weg niet weet maar ik ben toch wel blij met mijn patatzaakie op de Oranjeboomstraat. Markthal is erg mooi maar voor de normale mens niet te betalen.
Yeah and the taste of the poffertjes is great as long as they use the bukwheat flour, otherwise it's mainly a small pancake. It makes them more nutty in taste and a lot of places skip it.
Normale Rotterdammers gaan als ze al een "Markthal" ervaring willen hebben gewoon naar Fenix, Foodhallen of gewoon je buurtmarkt.
Toeristische geldklopperij is het...
@@Iflieso they probably didn’t had the real ones. I was already amazed they compared it to American pancakes, because poffertjes are quit different.
@@jannetteberends8730 Yeah the dutch are not much better informed in many cases. The old taste is hard to find in many stands. I think because buckwheat flour is harder to work with and they want the prettiest fluffiest poffertjes.
I don't think real poffertjes wil be that good with nutella, butter and powdered sugar is the best way with those. My moms were amazing and almost totaly flat, haha But did not taste like regular pancakes.
Price performance ratio is “Prijs kwaliteit verhouding” in Dutch. Love the video, thanks for making my Friday evening much more fun!
Phil's favorite. Preis-Qualitätsverhältnis
German can be often directly translated into Dutch. A lot of words are quite similar 😊
In Dutch we like to glue the words together so we write "prijskwaliteitverhouding"

As a Dutch (from Rotterdam) living in Singapore I am salivating watching this video. Everything looked amazing except the poffertjes. Those don’t need all the fuss: plain with butter and powdered sugar is best!
Deana filming the seagull and saying ''mine mine mine'' had me dying hahahaha
the ij is very easy to pronounce and also the ei are pronounced as the german ei. the sate is so popular in the netherlands because of our historie with indonesia
Our ij or ei sound exactly like the English I
Oorlogsaus literally means war sauce. :D
Also, I cannot adequately express my joy over Deana getting Phil to use the phrase "shit ton" as a volume description. Well done, fellow American!
I love Phil's enthusiastic expressions while eating!
As a Dutch guy, I love your food channel.
And yes, we love Asia food especially Malay/Indonesian food because of our colonial history.
Anyway, I'm a big fan of your channel !!😊
So nice to see you guys in The Netherlands again!
For Dutch street food, mainly in the big cities en especially in R'dam you should try the Suriname Buns (Broodje bakkeljau, kip kerrie, pom etc..) Next to Suriname it self it is pretty unique and taste wise miles apart from al kind of other sandwiches.
Bakkeljauw*
kapsalon :D
Je weet toch wel dat er in de Bijlmer honderden Surinaamse eettentjes zijn, dus wat je zegt klopt zeker niet.
Fantastic street food video as usual, must go to the Netherlands
the vla is mostly a dessert, you just put it in a bowl and eat it with a spoon, like after dinner. but yes, you can put it over a standard cake too.
with hagelslag added to it😃

You really nailed the places you went to this time! But it is a bit of a shame to go to Rotterdam and not try the Kapsalon because it originated in Rotterdam!
Yeah, the person who invented it (he requested the dish as the very first person) recently passed away.
@@on-the-pitch-p3w he ordered it regularly as a hairdresser who had his barbershop next to a Turkish snackbar. He asked for that specific combination of things which the restaurant did not sell normally. So the Turkish restaurant got to slowly know it as "Kapsalon" which basically means barbershop.
People seen him eat it or order it and tried it themselves and it took off nationwide.
So yeah, I believe he ate it alot. 😂
Superb review. We Dutchies approve.
Great pronunciation too. Kudos!
And it must be said Rotterdam is awesome. And that is saying something by a born Amsterdammer.
Some extra info:
Friet/patat:
The fries you ate are called a "patatje oorlog", which means fries of war. I think refering to the battlefield and all the mess you make with the peanut sauce (saté, from Indonesia (old colony)) and mayonaisse with the onions. As you mentioned, Dutch fries (called "frietjes" below the rivers and "patat" above) come in different sizes. The ones you ate are the classical thick size, but there are also some that are called "oma's frieten", grandma's fries, which are cut more roughly and thicker. Belgian fries do show similarities with especially the latter.
By the way, mayo also differs between the NL and Belgium, where the Belgian one is more sour. I like both a lot. Both countries have a real "frietcultuur" or fries culture. You typically buy all of that, including "brown food" in a "frietkraam/patatkraam" in the NL or a "frietkot" in Belgium, which both refer to a small stall in the street. A store is called a "snackbar/frituur" in the NL, but I think in Belgium they also call it a frietkot. Both countries also use the word "frituur" to describe both the stalls and the stores. As you may realize, lots of words for the same concept, a store, but it underlines the importance in both cultures.
The more you know.
Febo/trekmuur/automatiek:
That is besides the "trekmuur" you still find at the Febo stores in the Netherlands. I think you have already used them. Unique relic from the early 1900s using I think a German invention called an "automatiek" or automat in English. Lost popularity almost all over the world in the 1950s, except for the NL!
Poffertjes:
Poffertje(s) are indeed small pancakes and fluffy. They are tasty with butter and powdered sugar, but are really expensive where you bought them. The classic style tastes very good too.
Vla:
The "vanille vla" is not really something you drink out of the package. Although almost similar in thickness, that would be a "drinkyoghurt". Vla is typically something you eat as desert in a bowl, sometimes topped with whipped cream. When you add syrup (like you use for lemonade, often raspberry or strawberry flavour), it's called a vlaflip. When you add chocolate flavoured vla to vanilla, it's called duovla or dubbelvla. When you add small little pieces of crispy chocolate balls (really tiny), it's called bolinovla. Very tasty, all of them.
Kroket:
A kroket is effectively a big bitterbal (or perhaps the other way around). Both the same beef filling. There is also a different variation called a "goulashkroket" which, understandably, has goulash inside. Couple of other more niche variations, but those two are the most known ones, where the beef filling is the most popular.
Saucijzenbroodje/worstenbroodje:
Some I think unknown sausage, probably spiced minced meat, put in "bladerdeeg" or puff pasty in English. Other variations are called a "worstenbroodje", which uses bread instead of puff pastry, and originates from the province of Noord-Brabant (their pride and joy), located below the three rivers, but is nowadays sold all over the NL. The one you ate had an abnormal bread shape, way too wide than normal. Last popular variation is a "frikendelbroodje" which contains a frikandel and often curry sauce in also a more greasy puff pastry.
Indonesian food:
As mentioned in the paragraph about the "patatje oorlog", the NL has a lot of Indonesian food, like the UK has Indian food. It is Dutchified, so adapted to our palate. For some strange reason, it's often consumed via take-out , called the "afhaalchinees". "Chinees" refers to Chinese, of course, but is not Chinese food at all, but, as mentioned before, Indonesian food. It seems like it has been completely rebranded and sold as if it is Chinese by Chinese workers. Alternatively, when you go to a true Indonesian restaurant, "rijsttafels" are really popular (rice tables, literally). Like tappas in Spain, where you all share a lot of different plates and pick what you like. Really nice.
price performance ratio = prijskwaliteitsverhouding, by the way.

I love their cheese and it’s so different than when I was there in the 60’s but in a good way. We watched the cheese being unloaded and sampled it. Great place. Sixty one years later I still remember being there.
8:30 if you like Vla then I know something that completely surpasses everything in the field of vla they call it: Campina Slagroomvla vanille.
whipped cream has then been added to the vanilla vla it is delicious..
Haha, Dutchie here! Aah dont drink Vla! Its a dessert :) And wowww you payed alot for those Poffertjes, as more people commented; they are the best with just a cube of real butter melting on top of the poffertjes, with powdered sugar :D
Als je geen lepel hebt en/of je vanwege een gebrek aan schaaltjes een mok of beker gebruikt, is het prima drinkbaar. Bij scouting hadden we geen schaaltjes, maar wel bekers, dus heb ik al eens vla gedronken op kamp.
@@Treinbouwerniemand zit op scouting en niemand drinkt vla uit een pak
Je kan vla gewoon drinken als je daar zin in hebt
The best Dutch street food video I’ve seen on UA-cam. Compliments!
Nice. Dat hebben jullie goed gedaan. All the snacks are typical Dutch. Even the sate. One item was some way off. Poffertjes you normally eat just with a big piece of butter that melts And seasoned with powder sugar. You got the tourist version of poffertjes. Way overpriced. Cool video.
well the Patatje Oorlog is usually Sate Sauce & Mayonaise.. not samurai sauce. I also found the fries to be overpriced and most definitly the snacks that they got.
Poffertjes, like pancakes, are really easy and affordable to make yourself. Always add buckwheat flower to the plain flower (the ratio depends on which recipe you use) and yeast, that is what gives them their specific taste. Traditionally eaten with butter and powdered sugar.
About the gulls: where I live, near the beach, they don’t wait patiently until you drop some food. They simply grab it out of your hands in full flight. Always keep your food close to your chest, so they can’t get to it.
Those shrimp bitterballen were soooo good! 🤤🍤
a well prepared shrimp-bitterballen are the best better bitterballen you can have, but the with a lemon-mayonaise 😋
Please tell phil your not supposed to drink vla from the carton. You should put it in a bowl and eat it with a spoon. Can also be served with whipped cream.
How nice you visited my hometown, Rotterdam. Pomm's is around the corner of my Rotterdam office. I practically grew up, and had my first job on that street. Had lunch at Pomm's, Bram Ladage and in the Markthal many times. You didn't visit our Chinatown?
I do two, three tours for friends, relatives, foreigners, strangers, showing them all places worth visiting, and all sorts of food.
When I came to live in Rotterdam, it was predominantly a white city, in a time when people considered macaroni and spaghetti exciting foreign food.
Since then Rotterdam became the largest blue collar city of which the majority has an immigrant background: +180 etnicities.
That shows in the food diversity.
You visited the Markthal quite early. Normally it's quite hectic and full of tourists 😊
Thanks for the video 👌🏼
Rotterdammers zijn gelijk zo blij bij iedere toerist die ze zien. Wacht maar tot je echt een populaire stad bent. Dan lul je wel anders.
When I was in Cologne, there was a fry place that had peanut sate sauce on the menu so I ordered the “oorlog” (war) and the guy explained to me they don’t have any peanut sauce because nobody orders it there because Germans don’t like it, which surprised me. The peanut sate sauces comes from the Indonesian influence in the Netherlands. Really enjoying your videos.
Like in German with the capital B looking letter being the same as “ss”, in Dutch I was taught the “ij” can be seen as similar to a “y”.
@@mikedanyurs5126 The ß is more or less a double s, but the ij is not the same as a y. Both exist in the Dutch language.
Peanut butter isn't popular either, except maybe in certain "get all the protein" circles. Shame really.
Well, historically correct, it was the Dutch influence in Indonesia, not the other way around !
FYI, the harbor area with the "strange" ship you mentioned is the Museum harbor packed with historic ships and other harbor things like old cranes and such. The naval museum is right next to it.
And another FYI: On the plaza next to that museum and harbor is a statue looking to the sky with arms raised and missing its heart. It represents Rotterdam's destroyed city center by German bombers during WW2. This was how the Germans made the Dutch government surrender. Also the reason why the Rotterdam city center is so modern and open because it was totally rebuilt after the war.
Always nice to see people enjoying the city I was born and raised in. Most just visit Amsterdam which is totally different as it filled with small streets and historic buildings compared to mostly modern Rotterdam.
quick history lesson about the sate: the Netherlands had a lot of colonies, like a whole lot, and many major ones were in southeast asia, primarily indonesia, which is why things you'd commonly find as streetfood there, are also available here, and why our "chinese" restaurants are actually primarily westernified (im gonna call it that) indonesian restaurants.

Thank you for visiting! Be sure to check out more as there is a lot to explore in our country.
i like that you blur out peoples faces, everyone should do that, its just more respectful
Dutchie here, liked your video!
If you like vla, try Advocaat with whipped cream on top. It is very much a Dutch classic. Advocaat is like the grown-up version of vla and contains brandy, it usually contains about ten percent alcohol and is often put on vanilla ice cream as well. Also with whipped cream by the way, because, well...why not?
Just got back, thank you for your videos, helped us find various foods and my son and I had a blast trying them all out.
If you like vla, than you should try Campina vla. It says zacht luchtig on the front. There are 3 kind of flavors. Vanille banana and raspberry. They are all insanely good.
There is also slagroomvla. That is vla (custard) mixed with whipped cream.
@@TheEspionoza yes , also very yum 😃
Of vlaflip ook te lekker
The ship on 7:19 is a graanelevator (grain sucker) wat was used to suck grain or other powdery or granular cargo from one ship and blow it in another ship. (from an inland vessel to a sea vessel or vice versa).
I love how we sell like bigger bitterballen in sausage form and call it a kroket and people are like, wow that's a whole different snack.
It's so nice to see you guys enjoying Rotterdam. If you ever plan to come back, visit the Kruiskade in Rotterdam. It's a whole other part of Rotterdam, you'll get an amazing experience of the international restaurants lining the street. Stadshuisplein has a terrace called Coconuts with a Caribbean vibe. Witte de Withstraat is also lined with terraces, where you can peoplespot and enjoy mostly Dutch food.
I am dutch, so this is very fun to see that the Netherlands makes insane foods in opinion of other countries.
(To be honest dutch food is really good)
I’m not from the Netherlands but Belgium but good price quality ratio is goede prijs kwaliteitsvergelijking😊 please come to Belgium soon! My city is Ghent! Really beautiful!
My speaking Dutch is Flemish, but I think the difference would be in we would say in Belgium kwaliteitsvergelijking and I think in the Netherlands they use kwaliteitsverhouding, there is a slight difference in words, but our writing Dutch is the same.
I visited Gent last autumn - Indeed a very beautiful City! 😍
But I didn't find saté sauce for the fries. 😩
@@GoodOldErin Thats a Dutch thing 😅 Belgians would never haha, I’m not saying it’s wrong but it’s not in our culture, we do it on a saté, we have 20 other sauces to our on fries though, the main Dutch sauce Belgians like on their fries is the joppie,
Tip: Also try herring (called 'Hollandse Nieuwe' or 'Maatjes Haring') with chopped onion. You can either hold the fish by the tail and lower it into your mouth, or ask the fishmonger to cut it in pieces and serve it with a wooden pick/forklet ('in stukjes'). Also try the sour herring ('Zure Haring'), and in its rolled-up form: "Rolmops", the latter is filled with pickled onion. Finally, try a smoked herring - reminds a bit of smoked mackerel.
mmmm herring!!!! so delicioussss!!! New herring, Hollandse Nieuwe: best never to eat it with onions/pickles.. just the fish.. the onions actually spoil the taste of the freshly caught fish.. one uses it rather in later months (after October when it's not really new catch anymore) or to camouflage when a herring could be "off"....
@@SuperPassionflower I'm under the impression that onions are added for the texture, not to disguise any kind of spoilage (it's also a myth that people in the Middle Ages used spices to make rotten meat edible - it won't).
@@PaulaBean the info I have was given to me by a reputed -now retired- herring vendor and confirmed in a few fish shops here in Amsterdam. to be properly correct, it's to do with the salts used in the barrels of herring. the longer the fish stays in barrel the more it affects the taste, it gets too salty over time which is not the case when it's fresh catch say kept until Oct. adding onions and pickle neutralises the saltness. it simply became a custom to take herring with onions and pickle even when it's new catch, and that is a shame in a way
oh, in addition, since you mention Hollandse Nieuwe and also Maatjes Haring: Hollandse Nieuwe is the new catch and can be officially named as such up until Sept. After that it actually should no longer be called Hollandse Nieuwe but Maatjes Haring (and yes, onions and pickles come in handy)
@@SuperPassionflower Did you know that by law, herring has to be deepfrozen for at least 24 hours? That is to kill off any parasites.
Saucey episode!! Too funny. One of your most casually entertaining videos yet. You guys should have 1M subscribers by now!
You overpaid for the poffertjes, but I'm so glad to see someone else who also drinks the Vanille vla straight from the package. Welcome to the club of Vla drinkers Phil! We need to keep spreading this technique
It was a very populair technique amongst heroïne addicts in the 80'ties and 90'ties
My mom says I can't drink my vla. Because it ruins it for te rest of the family. Stupid
Great video. I am off to Rotterdam in a few weeks time so this video came at the right time. I definatly want to try those fries with the peanut sauce.
I'm born in Rotterdam, but I live abroad about 18 years now. And I miss the snacks a lot.
“tsss… Jonge Jonge!” ❤. You had me with this one! I loved it!😂😂 15:55
Great video as always guys thanks. As a proper Dutch i'ld say you got it all messed up on the poffertjes. How the Dutch eat it is with just butter and powder sugar. If you taste them like that you notice that they're fluffier than pancakes but also just slightly chewy, that balance between fluffy and chewy but not too much does it. That butter and sugar is also very old fashioned.
nice good to see you two in my country again
The Vla Phil bought, in The Netherlands we put it in a little bowl and we eat them as dessert, after dinner (atleast in my household)
We also have a lot of Indonesian food in the Netherlands because Indonesia was a colony of the Netherlands :)
Next time in the Netherlands, visit a Surinamese restaurant.
And if it’s winter, buy a "broodje rookworst" bij with a warm Dutch smoked sausage which outclasses any hotdog you’ve ever had.
If you have the chance, try a warm 'appelflap' they look like a triangular puff pastry usually with sugar on top, it's really good when it's a little warm.
You can buy the poffertjes in bags at the supermarket for much cheaper! Ofcourse the fresh ones are better, but the store bought are also very good and sweet! That allows you to add your fave toppings for much cheaper at home!
In slang we sometimes refer to McDonald's as the metro.
Also, we more typically talk about quality instead of performance when it comes to price. So we are more likely to say 'een goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding'.
The Netherlands looks very beautiful and the food looks really good! 👍🏻❤🙏🏻

Rotterdam is a nice city.
I was in Amsterdam, 1968. The cheese on ppizza was amazing..I still remember the fantastic taste and texture.

8:40 I've never seen someone drink it before, lol, but I suppose it's possible. It's typically eaten out of a bowl with a spoon. I like to add in hagelslag of chocolade vlokken.

Whenever i AM in the netherlands i make sure to go to Albert heijn and buy an air dried sausage called fuet with either garlic or manchego cheese....by far the best snack ever
I love them, it is a Spanish sausage, so not only available in NL, I guess?
Don't forget to try a frikandel speciaal in the Netherlands.
The foodhall at the end is often called the 'broeikas' or 'greenhouse' in English. Sun goes in, doesn't go out. It get warm there. Very warm.

Hey guys, as a Dutch person i did enjoy the video. But i do have some tips:
1: let a vendor or a dutch person pronounce the food, then everyone knows how to say it and order it.
2. Dutch snacks are in general cheaper from a stand on the street than a fancy snackbar.
3. Vla is a Dutch dessert, so we normally don't drink it. But put it in a bowl and eat it with syrup, fruit etc. (Whatever u like haha)
4. When u compare Dutch serving sizes (drinks and food) with American ones, u will always be dissapointed haha. I think in the U.S.A they are too big, and the rest of the world they are normal.😊

To answer one of your questions, "Vla" is indeed not really meant to be drank like that. It's mostly used for desserts or some people have it with their cereal in the morning. Of course, you can eat it however you like, but a bowl of strawberries, banana and Vla can go a long way as an amazing dessert.
Those tiny pancakes look good. Do they offer them with syrup?
In those shops they most likely do. But for most Dutch, the original topping is the way to go. Just real butter and powdered sugar.
We do use syrup on Dutch pancakes.
Like your video’s as a dutch! Next time in the Netherlands you should really try “boterkoek”; its pastry and tasted sooooo good! Vla is eaten in a bowl with a spoon, sometimes with wipped cream. Also you should go on the countryside and by dutchfarm cheese on a farm shop, try the “old” cheese; like the dutch version of parmesan!
The price for the poffertjes is ridiculous. Its very cheap and easy to make them.
Glad you enjoyed it guys. Me and the missus got watery mouths just looking and listening at you. Keep up the good work 👍👍😘😘
Poffertjes are best with powdered sugar and a small lump of real butter. Anything else is a waste of money. Customization is very American and not desired by Dutchies. Any place offering that is tourist trap. All these instagrammable places are too expensive and too overdone. Just accept the true taste of Dutch tradition.
Always enjoy your vids, thank you again for sharing.

As a Belgian, I have never eaten fries that were the same thickness/thicker than what you have just eaten. If you serve those fried potato wedges in a 'Frituur' in Belgium you'd have to find a new job within a year. And don't forget, we invented them so all the other varients are "wrong". :p
Well you guys don't have peanut sauce so a lot of us don't really care. Its like Italians complaining about new York style Pizza or what ever the living fuck dr oetkar ristorante pizza is supposed to be. just static in the void.
Allé zenne, fout fout fout. Voila de arrogantie. Jullie in Vlaanderen hebben Franse en Congolese etcetera. invloeden, culinair gesproken, maar wij Belgische, Franse, Surinaamse, (Chinees, Inheemse, Indiase, Javaanse) en Indonesische gerechten. Wij zijn hier, evenals jullie, gezegend. Geen plaats voor arrogantie....
I think that the Belgian mayo has more vinegar than the Dutch version. More vinegar is historically correct. It was custom in the older days: (even boiled) potatoes with a dash of vinegar used to be a common dish in the Low Lands.
Allright time to answer a few questions @dianaandphil.
5:14 the word is ''Prijs-kwaliteit verhouding''.
6:30 you certainly did overpay for poffertjes, you'll always find the best ones on the street markets and the ones advertesing with nutella are usually worse.
8:50 what.. what are you doing? Vla is a dessert, served in a bowl (whipped cream and hagelslag optional) and eaten with a spoon, drinking it will make it curdle ;).
The reason why you'll find pindasaus all around the Netherlands is due to the Indonesian influence we've had throughout the 20th century.

2.40 You're in front of the Bijenkorf on the Coolsingel. I worked on the other side a long time ago. As kids we used to go to the movies next to the Bijenkorf. There was Cineac AD and Cineac NRC opposite from eachother. Haven't been there for quite a while, don't think they still exist.
so basically Holland is like the Southern US where everything is breaded and deep fried?
As a Dutchy, I'd say yes. I can't think of any dutch snacks that isn't either fried or covered in dough. We do have plenty of non-fried doughy stuff like stamppot, raw herring, snert (peasoup Dutch style), but not really as snack. If you want something different as a snack it's going to be a foreign kitchen to choose.
Except chicken, we like to grill that.
When you are in Rotterdam, you must try Bram Ladage, you get a puntzak fries with mayonaise or other sauce, these are the best!
This wasn't a traditional "worstenbroodje". Worstenbroodjes traditionally were from Brabant (Noord-Brabant) in the south of the Netherlands (Eindhoven should have had some good ones). There is a lot of quality difference in the ones being sold. Mostly the ones in bakeries and butchers are of good quality. The ones in supermarkets are hit-and-miss. In the past almost everyone made their own at home for festivities (after Christmas midnight mass for example).
More specfically, the Easter Vigil on Saturday night. People came home late and wanted sometging easy but filling after such a long mass.

You should try the Belgian "worstenbrood". It is massive, with one or two sausages in it. You buy it in a bakery, but not all have it, and not all the time. And there is also the "appelbol", which is a pastry with a whole spiced and sugared apple in it. I normally combine both, start with the savoury "worstenbrood" and finish with an "appelbol". In general, if you are in Belgium, go to a bakery and try a lot of the stuff they offer.
