Hi dear how are you doing with your family hope splendid! I just came across your video concerning Africa food Stuffs at Haagste Markt, I live with my family here in Germany9 though just about 2 hours drive 🚗 to Haagste Markt as I Google it. My question is; is the market every day open or seasonal?
I lived 5 minutes walking away from the Haagse Mart (as we called it) utntil age 6 so it was a regular thing until then. Even after we moved we'd still take the tram there. Now I live in Delft but when I see the market I'm that little kid again.
Great to hear about your experience. I also have a nostalgic feeling anytime I go to the market. It reminds me of the open market back home in Nigeria.
@@josphineogugua In its form and size it's unique in The Netherlands. To me it's such a normal thing. I really need to go back there again. I was a child in the 70s so it was a much less diverse market as to what was being sold. I think why it still exists and thrives and not been replaced by houses is that people who moved from outside of Europe to The Hague started their businesses on that market.
I grew up in de Bijlmer, used to work at the local AH as a teen and you knew you where gonna be in trouble when you ran out of Supermalt and Griesmeel lol.
Nice video. Your glowing btw... i watched your videos randomly and forgot your expecting. One question....I also live overseas and here Nestle and Milo are big as well. I see you particularly go look for it but in The Netherlands, as far as I can remember, in The Netherlands it is considered a low quality brand. Is it one of those things you trust or dont you like the Dutch (higher quality) alternatives. I also see that you buy powdered milk a lot. You know that is the obsolete subsidized quota from the European Union right thats turned into powder and send to Asia and Africa? In The Netherlands, you be able to get the fresh one very easily. Im wondering about that....
Hi Alex, Thanks for your comment 🤗. I’ve tried out hot chocolates from Dutch brands and still prefer milo, I also prefer the powdered milk, it really has to do with what I’m used to and personal preference. I’m not a big fan of the fresh milk and since I don’t use it often it always gets bad in my fridge and I have to keep getting new bottles, that’s why I stick with the powdered milk since they don’t get bad easily.
@@josphineogugua Makes a lot of sense. My stomach gets upset here from the fresh milk as well and too many times it went bad. Have you tried the Chocomel from Nutricia? Recently they start selling it here (at a ridiculous price) and it is still the best by far for me. Just very fattening. But I must say, till date, I am still surprised how much they love Nestle/Milo here where i find it mediocre at best. I get what you are saying. Im an expat in a foreign country as well but still I stick to my ways. Just cant get fresh bread/milk/dairy products like I was used to here and everything is full of preservatives....
I love Nigerian meals, so delish! I am Zambian and do make Zambian meals and that's why I enjoy these videos because as a newbie to the Netherlands (4 months), I am discovering through you😃. I was in Brussels last week with some Zambians living here and it was so pricey at the African market and I told them about your videos and how the prices here seemed better. So we are gonna try to market next. Thanks for the content ❤
I’m so glad the videos help in some way. Open market here is the way forward, African stores are a bit pricey, I only go there when I need very specific ingredients, other than that, open market is where I go. Hope you’re enjoying your stay so far? 🤗
I only know how to cook some Ethiopian or Eritrean food. Never had Nigerian cuisine, but maybe I will get the chance sometime. Do you know of any restaurants?
Hi hi, Easy African dishes are delicious too but can be very different from West African cuisine. I don’t have a restaurant here that I can recommend but I’ll say Googling Nigerian restaurants near me might help. I think in Amsterdam there are quite a few..
Nice video. I am Tanzanian live in Netherlands I would like to visit that haagste markt. It will take I½ hr from where I live by car. I hope I will find some African food and also can you tell me if I can find hair product's too somewhere around there? I need contacts of your designer(tailor) who you was with her. Thanks wishing you all the best for your upcoming baby😊
I agree then spices can be a bit tricky to find. Have you looked out for African stores in Eindhoven? Sometimes these stores surprisingly have a lot of spices
@@josphineogugua yes i do but there are not so many as in den- Haag or Amsterdam but i gonne find them for sure keep going on with your vlogs i like them allott have a nice sunday you all
When I see all those cans with things like fufu, I have to admit I would have no idea what to do with that. I tried to make some African dishes with the help of YT tutorials and they turned out good, but without the experience of how it should taste it’s hard to tell if I was on the right track.
Kudos to you for even trying. Most Nigerian dishes for example are really not easy to make. They take up a lot of time and need some practice to completely master them. I’ll say Iwhen you try and the food tastes great to you then that’s it … You did that!👌🏾🤗
@@josphineogugua I have a lot of experience with Indonesian and Surinamese food so I’m familiar with a lot of the ingredients. Most of the veggies are used in Suriname dishes and easy to get in a toko. But it sure takes time, one dish I had to regularly stir for an hour and then I just had the onions ready to continue. It was good but I used some alternative ingredients because some where hard to find. Especially the seasoned butter (forgot the name) I had to improvise.
Hi there! Thank you for the lovely video. What is the name of the place in The Hague where you buy the African food products in bulk? I am looking for Milo and struggling to find it.
@@josphineogugua thank you 😂 I just checked forepark and saw a place called Sunda Food Group that looks a lot like the place in your video. I wonder if that is the correct place? I’ll go and have a look, thanks again 🌷
nestle isnt a company that shoudl be supported
Hi dear how are you doing with your family hope splendid!

I live with my family here in Germany9 though just about 2 hours drive 🚗 to Haagste Markt as I Google it. My question is; is the market every day open or seasonal?
Hi William, the Market opens every Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. From 9AM to 5PM
Wow, thanks for the info. My regards to your family.

Titel is ofcourse “De Haagse markt”…..
Ayeee. Pardon my mistake 🫣

@@josphineogugua Lol, I just found out they stopped selling it here already and we are back to Milo.

@@josphineogugua thanks, we are in the region of Eindhoven. There are many Nigerians here, but never saw a restaurant. Might try and find one.

Yayyy thank you so much ❤
Do you know of any affordable Airbnb website or a rental for someone just arriving the Netherlands?
Hi Bella,
I really don’t know exactly . But I’ll say look into Locations outside Amsterdam. Amsterdam can be a bit pricey.
@@josphineogugua okay thank you so much again
I love my garri and egusi soup sister and I found garri here
Ayeeee 🤗
Wow 1 euro for like 7 paprika's?! Theyre 1 euro each in the supermarkets.
Exactly. The market helps me save so much
market is cheapest by far,,and tip tip if you go just before closing time, they do their stuff away even cheaper.

Hi,please what is the address of that warehouse you went for nigerian foodstuffs
Wow, awesome vlog
Thank you Queen
I love outdoor vlogs
Love them too🤗
Hi there! Thank you for the lovely video. What is the name of the place in The Hague where you buy the African food products in bulk? I am looking for Milo and struggling to find it.
Hi hi,
I don’t know the name of the store in particular but it’s in fall park, Den Haag. There you’ll see a number of big stores.
@@josphineogugua thank you so much, I’ll have a look at fall park.
@@mary-annekennedy8010 it’s Forepark.. just double checked. I don’t know why I keep calling it fall park😆
@@josphineogugua thank you 😂 I just checked forepark and saw a place called Sunda Food Group that looks a lot like the place in your video. I wonder if that is the correct place? I’ll go and have a look, thanks again 🌷
