I don't know Dutch but knowing German I thought I was hearing a person speaking German with something stuck in his throat. I mean the similarities are there.
There is a bunch of pacific island that were under Dutch occupation back in the day and still speak and teach our language there. But because they have their own accent it sounds completely different. It’s like a tropical Dutch.
I moved from London to Amsterdam in 2019 and my first apartment was in the Bijlmer, near Kraaiennest. The spirit of the community in that area reminded me closely reminded me of that in London and the food was excellent; all cooked by locals with a passion for their gemeenschap and their culture. Veel liefde en veel succes voor het toekomst!
Just know once you buy a Johnnycake from this place, you’ll become addicted. Especially the spicy chicken Johnnycake and the one with cheese. Can’t get enough. It’s so nice to hear her story made me love the Johnnycake’s even more.
Did a Google and it said that the origin was created by Pawtucket natives. They cooked them and were called "Shawnee Cakes" but was mispronounced as Johnny Cakes.
Ze is een topper!!! mijn lieve oude buurvrouw. ik gun haar echt alles, want ze is een voorbeeld voor vele buitenlanders, ze heeft hel mee gemaakt, maar wist zich eruit te halen en is zo een goeie ondernemer, love voor haar❤😍💪🏽🙏🏽
Inspirerend, 11 minuten lang een glimlach op me gezicht. De goeie, ze bestaan nog. Soms verlies ik de hoop. Maar dit geeft mij kracht en hoop voor de toekomst bedankt yvette, ik kom binnenkort eten! ❤️🫶🏼
Mevrouw Yvette, u bent geweldig en uw Johnny Cakes zijn de beste. Thank you Munchies for showing Yvette and the best side of Amsterdam, de Bims, to the world ❤
@@Daniel-qz8bp Ze hebben bij de Gemeente Amsterdam tegenwoordig een subsidieregeling, speciaal voor mensjes zoals jij die niet zelfstandig kunnen ademen buiten de 'ring'. Een vrij te besteden bedrag voor een enkeltje terug naar West-Friesland. Sla je slag!
I was born in Groningen, I will go to this restaurant TONIGHT! Sounds amazing, I've had a lot of antillean friends over the years and ate plenty of Johnny cake but had no idea this was even there!
Yes, SXM! I grew up eating Johnny Cake from my grandmother to my mom and now I am making it myself! But I do miss eating a good oxtail or pigtail soup! Thanks for representing!
I’ve never been outside of the US and am going to visit one of my friends that just moved there. Im starting to realize that I’ve been afraid to go out and see the world and coming from grandparents that owned restaurants I appreciate this so much and am looking forward to experiencing this
Have a lovely time when you're away and don't stress too much!! It'll be different, but it will be a great experience, and everything will fall into place :)
Do not go to holland as vacation it aint worth it i always think people that wanna go on vacation to holland are stupid there is legit nothing to do in holland what you cant do in other countries but than better
Oww echt... Het is nl echt iets voor mij al deze afro en caribian food! Dan moet ik er snel een bezoek gaan brengen. Weet je ook wanneer dit stopt? Thnx voor je info
Wat een geweldige comment sectie echt tof she is the BOSS door alles wat ze heeft meegemaakt staat ze 66 jaar nog steeds sterk op haar eigen benen ook jullie overtuigen mij om die Johnny cake te halen ik rij binnenkort zo naar Amsterdam 😋
Thank you for sharing Yvette's story with the world! Very inspiring to see what she loves doing and sending positive vibes and love through food with the world. Ban pa bai!
Amazing example of woman power and how food unites peoples and cultures ! What an inspiration for having compassion and making things work for yourself !
@@hunchbackaudio I am half Indonesian (Maluku / Java), so no. I didn't miss any of it. My point about traditional Dutch cuisine being bland as fuck still stands.
@@Stormvogel262 Ah, the magic word "traditional". I'm Dutch and my food isn't bland, unless you mean "not loaded with salt". My impression is that's what most people mean with "bland". Because it's sounds like a catch 'm all word, without a clear meaning.
@@hunchbackaudio I mean, I think that we can all agree that Dutch food in general is bland an uninspiring as fuck? Even our German / Danish neighbours have better culture compared to us. That's why I applaud Carribean / south-east Asian / North African (Moroccan) / Turkish food culture. It's so much better in every way, shape and form compared to Traditional Dutch food culture (or the lack thereof)
@@Stormvogel262 I think that's personal, I can't think of any German or Danish dish I like. Even got a lot of pretty bad meals in France for that matter. Had some great food in Greece, but if after a few days you want something else for a change, forget it. Always thankfull to be back in Holland where I can choose from a great variety of different cuisines in any city I visit. I can buy any type of spice I can think of in my local Supermarket or Toko. I think that's pretty unique in the world.
Love seeing someone from my island doing amazing! Her story is sad but with a positive ending! I hope her ex-workers got their rightfully deserved karma! I am happy to see that she managed to bounce back after such an awful experience!
"Auntie Yvette".. that's our hood auntie and her Johnny Cakes are THE BEST ❤❤❤!! When you visite Amsterdam, make sure you drop by and cop you some! Power, miss Yvette ✊🏾
Wow I will have 2 try the Antilles style Johnnycakes. Definitely adding it 2 my list of Caribbean foods 2 try. It reminds me of Trini bake. Doubles in Trinidad 🇹🇹 is a lil more popular than bake.
I'm "watching" stuff while working. My friend came in like "What are you watching? What is she speaking?" I said "I don't know! It sounds intriguing. When I'm done work, I'll actually watch it, and read the subtitles."
Its a very beautiful Dutch accent imo. Its originated from the Dutch Caribbean/ Antilles. The language Papiaments can also sound like this. And the original Afrikaans. Spoken in parts of South Africa. Lots of people still speak this Dutch in the Netherlands ;)
Ik ben helemaal om en super nieuwsgierig geworden om een ritje Amsterdam Bijlmer te maken en het heerlijke eten zelf te proberen 😃 Wie geboren is om succesvol te zijn in het leven ,zal dit ten allen tijden zijn. Ongeacht hoeveel sh*t ze mee maken /tegenvallers ze hebben. Lieve Yvette is hier duidelijk met een zeer mooi purpose🙏🥰
In Trinidad we call it Fried Bake and Salt Fish. The Caribbean has different variations hers looks great all the way In the cold. Plantains she win there ok she is half Trini explains why her bake looks so good.
sorry, but her being half Trini has nothing to do with her being good at cooking! By saying that, you are insinuating that people from Curaçao don't know how to cook! WE ALL KNOW HOW TO COOK! Well! Most of us do!
I’m surprised these dudes haven’t hit The Penalty Box in Windsor yet. Run by a Greek guy named Van, best chicken delight I’ve had. Really stand-up guy, was able to open another location a few years back. Anyone a generation or two back who was an old hockey puck in Windsor knows who Van is.
I'm from the English speaking Caribbean (Jamaica, parents / UK, born and raised) who immigrated to the Netherlands years ago. When I first met my first group of Dutch Caribbean friends, all of them were going wild over something I had never ever heard of 'Johnny Cakes'. To this day I still have not knowingly eaten one. I guess coming from the UK, anything with the word 'Johnny' conjures up thoughts of a contraceptive.
Auntie Yvette’s story is so motivating. I am truly happy for her. Such an amazing success story.
That’s my aunt
@@J3sleezyyy ❤❤😊
She clearly has a knack for business. After that hair salon mutiny, she really persevered. Kudos to her for making such an inspirational pivot.
Am actual hostile takeover
R 31st1
I am curious of what caused the mutiny though.
@@thaddeustyc Yeah right hahaha. Something like that usually happens because of some major friction or disagreement between leadership and employees.
😢
I love it! I don't think I've ever heard someone speak Dutch with so much zest!
I don't know Dutch but knowing German I thought I was hearing a person speaking German with something stuck in his throat. I mean the similarities are there.
Its cause shes from curacao

Johnnycakes sure are something else. Carribean cuisine just has so much to offer.
You’re my fave commenter on UA-cam thought you should know that
Such a gracious and tenacious Curaçaoan woman ❤️ Her story has moved me to tears.
There should be awards for people like this. She is quite exceptional.
Just know once you buy a Johnnycake from this place, you’ll become addicted. Especially the spicy chicken Johnnycake and the one with cheese. Can’t get enough. It’s so nice to hear her story made me love the Johnnycake’s even more.
Ooh really!? Im going to try it. Thnx for ur tip!😊
it smaakt like poep

I need Auntie Yvette to narrate my life story b/c she can make ANYTHING seem interesting and exciting. What a story teller! So expressive!
TEARS OF JOY FOR THIS WOMAN. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL & INSPIRING STORY
You never know the accent exist until you hear it for the first time and it do exist and beautiful.
Love her beautiful soul we're also her customers and never a disappointing moment with the Johnny cakes always delicious 😋❤
9:20 is a personal lovely moment. My mother is from Aruba (which is lies next to Curaçao) and my father is from Ghana.
❤❤❤
I love this lady's tenacity; truly motivational!! 🙌
I'm so happy that Vice is throwing some love to the food I grew up with, on my tiny island in the carribean.
What an amazing lady and the passion she shows in her food and helping others is inspiring 🙏🏼👍🏽👍🏽
She’s my aunt
I love her resilience, this was a really good piece!

Unfortunately World of Foods is gonna be destroyed by the government, it's absolutely heartbreaking as a citizen of BIMS
They knew that upfront, it whas only for 5/7 years, and there for they almost had to pay no rent at all.

What will come right after??? I think spots like this are so important… every Nation get to know eachother… at least their food
@@slamila they’re going to build apartments 🥲
Serieus waarom ?
This what she’s doing is years of love understanding and caring and heart,to cook so great and delicious that what everyone wants and loves.

Loving the fact that she buys local
True soul food in The Netherlands. So proud on this lady. A sparkle of hope in the bland and uninspiring Dutch food landscape. (and yes I'm Dutch)

What a Wonderful & Positive Curacao Lady! To bad we do not even have an Yvette's Kitchen on our Island Curacao!
Island people make their way around the world. Big ups!

Deze vrouw is echt een vibe hahah❤❤ ik krijg er honger van hoor
Wow Yvette is such a motivating and resilient lady! Love her johnny cakes
As someone with an ABC island background, I’m so proud to see this! Next time I am in the Netherlands I will be visiting!
Never forget where you are from
we all are proud of you
Same, these foods are normal to me, but this woman is excellent. Proud of my background!
I love this ladies energy ❤
How is this the first time I'm hearing this?! Ik ben dol op Johnnycakes. Ik kan niet wachten om haar Johnnycakes te proberen. Leuk mens ook.
I used to live next to this food court and man I miss the food. Yvettes Johnnyycakes are goooood.
"Auntie Yvette".. that's our hood auntie and her Johnny Cakes are THE BEST ❤❤❤!! When you visite Amsterdam, make sure you drop by and cop you some!
Power, miss Yvette ✊🏾
First time here, try the Johnny cakes. I must warn you - they’re addictive.
I hear they have the same side effects as blood pressure medication
@@eldendynast I can get a note from my doctor saying i don't like to swallow kielbasa
Was looking for a sopranos reference was not disappointed
Wow I will have 2 try the Antilles style Johnnycakes. Definitely adding it 2 my list of Caribbean foods 2 try. It reminds me of Trini bake. Doubles in Trinidad 🇹🇹 is a lil more popular than bake.
This just wants me wanna jump on the train to go to Amsterdam and get a johnny cake! Expect me soon Yvette!😊
Wonderful storyteller and looks delicious. 😊
Its so crazy :D im german and i can understand almost everything they are saying.
Beautiful woman and beautiful story!🙏🏽❤❤❤
As soon as Ramadan is over, I will definitely visit. Love her smile
It's like the second time I've even heard Bijlmer mentioned. This neighborhood has definitely risen from the ashes both metaphorically and literally.
French carribean (more precisely Guadeloupe) Call It Bokit! 🤤 Love my carribean people 🇬🇫🇯🇲
and we love you
Diversity works ❤ She’s the best, next Time in Amsterdam I will visit 😊
Maybe for food. Not for anything else.
I truly motivating story ,I’m very proud of auntie Yvette 🥳🎉
This feels so warming!!! In the Virgin Islands we make them the same way and even the story is exact of the journey men lol!!! That’s crazy💯💯💯
We are seriously loving this!
She looks fantastic
Deze vrouw heeft zoveel passie, ik zou alleen daarom al bij haar willen eten
She’s well known in the Netherlands. Sometimes me and my friends we travel 1 hour just to go and get her food.
thank you for that
If you ever come to Amsterdam, you have to come to World of Food and have her Johnny cake. They are honestly sooooooo goood and she is so kind!!
Yvette sells the best johnny cakes in Amsterdam 🙌🙌
Wat een toffe vrouw! De energie alleen al is fantastisch.
Vice, this was AWESOME!!!! Just focus all your energy on Munchies, forget the news lol.
My mom makes Johnny Cake too, but I need to try this lady's food. It looks really good!
Truly inspirational ,defenly gotta go there next time I visit Amsterdam!

Een hele aardige vrouw en haar Johnny Cakes zijn echt heerlijk 💯👌
Excellent episode
What a QUEEN!!
what an absolute powerhouse
What an incredible woman! ❤
Dit is echt lekker brood, origineel op de Antillen gegeten maar bijgebleven zo lekker.

Im happy i have taste the food there , it was great❤
Looks delicious
Well done Queen!! 👏
Tante Yvette is a legend
Yvette’s kitchen heeft De Beste Taarten van Nederland ♥️🙋🏾♀️
They're also known as Jonny cakes in Jamaica.... also fried dumplings. ❤
Big up yuhself bredda 🇯🇲
Anyone else is as captivated by how she speaks dutch as I am?
Its a very beautiful Dutch accent imo. Its originated from the Dutch Caribbean/ Antilles. The language Papiaments can also sound like this. And the original Afrikaans. Spoken in parts of South Africa. Lots of people still speak this Dutch in the Netherlands ;)
Big up Korsou! Love my island!
It's insane how cultures can adopt and mix and thrive. Sometimes (not often) the world isn't totally shit.
Auntie Yvette yes I love her I visited her many times in World of foods in Amsterdam 😊❤
It looks delicious.❤😋
i am dutch and i go there often she is amazing!!
0:55 oh shit 😯i have been dying to find a place that sells everything she just listed n Netherlands.

Het is het zeker waard, heerlijke snack
Wat is het adres?
Wat een liefe vrouw ik hoop dat ze ver komt met haar zaakje en als ik in de bijlmer ben wil ik graag haar eten proeven
Die foodhall daar wil ik echt een keer heen nu ik dit zie, geweldig. Ik woon in het zuiden en we hebben dit gewoon niet hier.
