Real Dutch Food Tour In The Netherlands! (First Time In Amsterdam)

Trying real Dutch food in the Netherlands. In a previous video we went to the Netherlands for the first time and tried several Dutch dishes. Wow, that's very hearty. However, some of you were not impressed with the city and several of you said that's not real Dutch food. So we took your advice and made our way to the country capital Amsterdam to eat our way through this city. All right, so we came back to the Netherlands and this time we are in Amsterdam and we're here for another food tour. We did this before in Eindhoven and you guys said we only did snacks in that video. So today we're gonna eat more Dutch food. Real Dutch food this time and I can't wait to start. All right, so we're gonna start the day off strong. We came to a little place called Mr Meatball right in the heart of Amsterdam and we're gonna have this meal here. This is Stamppot Grootmoedersgehaktbal. I don't know if I just butchered that. It's basically mashed potatoes with grandmother's meatball and then we have a rookworst, some sausage on the side. This is apparently a very traditional Dutch dish. This Stamppot that you can see here, it's actually mashed potatoes together with endives and carrots. They boil the potatoes first. They put endives and carrots together with it in a big pot and then they stomp it all together. That's why it's called Stamppot. There were also different options. There was also the option for sauerkraut, kale or beetroots but we chose endives and carrots and my mouth is already watering right now. I'm just gonna go for the Stamppot here. Oh, you see a little bit of endive still in there. I like that. You can see definitely the carrots in there. There's a bit of gravy on it and it's potatoes so this should be really good. The potato Phil eating potatoes. Oh, it's hot. Dude, it's really good. It's not too thick. It's nicely stomped, nicely mushed. It reminds me a little bit of the taste of a potato soup because in potato soup, you usually have other vegetables in it as well, right? So that reminds me of that. Very nice. Just carrots go so well with potatoes. Let me go for grandma's meatball right here. That's a big meatball. Pretty big meatball. I think she said it's 150 gram per meatball. They all come in the same size. Yeah, it's steaming hot as you can see. It's definitely on the softer side of meatballs. My family usually does it a little bit with a crust. When you sear it in the pan, it becomes a little crusty This one is not. But it has very nice flavor. It's February right now. So it's winter time. It's freaking cold outside around zero degrees. This is exactly what you need. It's a nice winter dish. It's very warm, very heavy. I love it. It's great so far. All right, I'm gonna try this Ruck first. Hope I'm pronouncing that right. So I moved to Europe, to Germany right before a pandemic. And now I get to try the different sausages. Now that we can travel again. Look at that. Very big Wiener hot dog sauce. It looks airy, but it's pretty meaty. It's very meaty. I think it's pork sausage too. Yeah, it's really good. I feel like if I eat all of these pieces, it'll be very filling. This is a full meal in itself. Phil and I are splitting this. Because I don't know if I can eat that many sausages. Lecker lecker. Is that how you say it in Dutch? I know lecker in German. But yeah, that's good. Look at that. That's a perfect bite right there. Yeah, I think the meatball is my favorite. That's good, yeah. I'm quickly gonna try the sausage here. The Rookwurst. I really love that it's thicker. I don't like these thin sausages that everybody has. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah. Sounds personal. There's some meat on it. It's nice. And I think lekker, they say in Holland too. We had a friend and she taught me the sentence. I think it was like, Du has een lekkere kontje. Or something like that. Which I think means you have a cute ass, you know. But yeah, good start. We're gonna finish this up right here. Then we're gonna head out and see what else we can find in Amsterdam. Don't stop, we're in public. So we just came from this vending machine. Feebo, as it's called. One of these big ass vending machines here in the Netherlands. And we got two little deep fried things. We're gonna try right here in this nice back alley. All right, I'm gonna put this thing here. And I hope there's no seagulls around or anything. The bird's gonna take it. Anyway, check out this thing. It's deep fried. It's dark red. And it comes from this vending machine. It's a Bami. And I think this has Indonesian roots, right? Yes, it's a fusion. These things are common throughout the Netherlands. These vending machines. And we had to go again and get some of this stuff. Because this, we haven't tried. So here we go. This should have noodles on the inside. Oh, it does. Wow, that looks so good. And it's so steamy. It smells so good. Oh, it smells super herbal. Not at all what it looks like on the outside. And I think it's pretty crunchy as well. See if I burn myself here. All right, here we go. Big bite, Bami. Oh, it smells so strong. Oh my god, dude. I know why people said, why didn't you try the Bami last time? This is awesome. Very herbal taste. It's a little saucy. It's not dry at all. And then it's just deep fried. Has this very thick batter. And it's greasy on the outside. I don't know. This one might be one of my favorites from these vending machines now. I think you're gonna love this too. I can't wait. It smells so good. Wow. I'm so excited to smell this. I'm so excited to eat this. I just keep smelling it. Yeah, that's so good. It's giving this curry flavor. Like maybe some chives or something is in there. It's really nice. The crunch on the outside is so good. This is like making fried noodles and then frying them again. It's awesome. So this is something I really liked last time. The cassoulet. We'll just give this a try. Let's see this cheese pull. Oh, there we go. That is warm. Not that long, but thick. Yeah, it's a thick one. Fried cheese. Give deep fried cheese to an American. What's the reaction? This is amazing. Holy smokes. I don't know. What's not to love? This would go crazy in a South Carolina state fair. It would sell out. That one's yours. Great. The cheese is so much softer than what you expect when you see the hard shell. So good. Look at that. So in our last video, everyone commented that this isn't real Dutch food. I think it's amazing. I would eat this all the time. Even though it's not the healthiest, it tastes the best. I like how convenient it is that they have these little stalls with all the vending machines everywhere and you can get the same thing. Yeah. So that's really nice. This is a 10 out of 10 for me. So good. So we're noticing today that A, there's a lot of funky smell in the air. I don't know about funky. Yeah, a little funky. But then also, there are a lot of burger places. There's like Burger Place, Burger Fabrique, then there's Buntastic Burgers there. We saw an advertisement that said a burger that's healthier than a salad. Depends what salad, eh? Yeah, right. But yeah, seems to be a big burger scene here. Yeah, and I love the bikes. So many bikes. Burgers and bikes. That's what Amsterdam's known for. Very nice old building here. But more importantly, there's a Henry Willick Cheese, the cheese tasting room. Let's just bring a big round across the border. So we came into this cheese tasting place. They said it's cool if we try some. They have these little tables here with a bunch of cheese. Most of them come in this form. Like 400 grams, almost a pound of cheese. I don't know. There's so many different types. I'm just gonna grab a stick here, toothpick. And I guess this one is called Honey Thyme. I don't know if it's a Gouda. There's also mustard. Putting mustard on your honey? I think that's for the bread there. It's a cheese dip. Cheese dip on a cheese. That's nice. We got a goat cheese truffle. And if you haven't noticed by now, Netherlands are very famous for their cheese. It's like windmills cheese and wooden shoes. That's like what we know about it in Germany. One last piece. Are you gonna take it? What is it? The single. Sheep cheese. The sheep cheese. Extra old. That's probably my stuff. I really like aged cheese. Yeah, when it's older, it gets a little darker and harder. But usually more flavorful. Nice. Almost tastes like a parmesan. Diana's also eyeballing a little. What is it? A plushie. We're gonna get it. I wish the pieces were bigger. That's why you take a block home. I think I like softer cheeses when they're very flavorful. Super nice. About 10, 11 kilograms of liters of milk. Yeah. Goes for one kilogram of cheese. Oh wow. So this cheese wheel is around eight kilograms. So about 80 to 90 liters of milk goes in this cheese to make the cheese so big. This is a 10-month-old cow cheese. So it's got nice crystallization in the cheese, but it's still creamier because it's made in the bigger cheese wheel. Sold. I'll take one. Sounds very cheap. The easiest sale of the day. Thank you. We came out of the cheese shop and what'd you get? A cow. Not just cheese, but also... Her name's Bertha. Bertha. How cute. Stop!

All right, we were walking down and we saw a fresh stroopwafel, which everyone said we needed to try it after our Dutch snacks and candy video. He's making it right there in person. He puts it on a waffle press and then puts this stroop, I guess, this caramel kind of mixture in here, the sweet sugar mixture. And it's in between, right? So warm. It's so warm, it's coming apart. I'll give it a try. We got the classic without anything, just this stroop in there. The chopping pieces. I'll pick that up. Better than the supermarket one? Yeah, this is my stuff. I ate the whole bag of the supermarket one while editing the video last time, so I could eat this all day. Oh, I love it. It's warm, it comes apart easier because it is warm. It's more of like a cookie. Like it's very, it falls apart. It's a very soft cookie. I love it. Look at that. Look at that caramel or stroop. It's also way bigger in diameter than the ones we got from the store. Huge. Five euros for one. Thank you. Dude, I really like how the city is so not made for cars. It's not built for that and it seems very inconvenient. Unless you have a car like that. Check it. That's so tiny. That's half of a smart car size. It's so cool that it's just made for bikes and pedestrians and boats. Yeah, there's so many bikes. Look at them all. All right, here we go. We're making Hagelslag. Hagelslag. You guys said in the comments, this is a very Dutch thing. We're trying real Dutch food here. Here we go. I cannot believe it, but the worker just confirmed it. So we're doing that. We're doing it. We got to find some bread now. He said that we need butter with it. So we have some rum butter. All right, welcome to our outdoor snack time. We are going to make something that everyone said was traditional Dutch. This is apparently real. It's Hagelslag. So we've got the sprinkles. We've got the white bread and the guy at the store suggested butter. So we've got the butter. We're making it. There was no pre-packed one. It's a real thing though. I couldn't believe it. But yeah, it's basically chocolate sprinkles on a white bread slice. Here we go. All right, I'm doing it too like a sandwich. I don't know if this is right. Maybe it's an open-faced sandwich. It's nice and cold today. So this will spread nicely. February in Amsterdam. And we've got the sprinkles and then we can pull it out. That is nifty. Look at that. Oh shoot, that's full. There we go. Some chocolate sprinkles. Healthy food made in the Netherlands. Here we go. All right, I'm going to put this on top. I don't know if that's what you're supposed to do, but here we go. This will be amazing. He said the butter is to help keep the sprinkles on. I don't know if you're supposed to toast this. I feel like maybe it would have been better toasted, but let's give it a try. Slightly dripping. Amazing. Tastes like sugar and sugar. So amazing. There's also fat on it, so. Okay, you get the chocolate flavor of the sprinkles. It's a nice crunch into this fluffy white bread. I feel like this is a childhood thing. If you grew up with this, maybe you'll love it. I personally love a cassoulet instead. That's my thing. Or a bitterball. It looks ----. Like maybe you didn't put enough chocolate on it. It's not that bad, you know? Chewy. I think you're right. All three ingredients are very separated. Like the bread is pretty cold. We have a good amount of butter in it. And then it tastes like you just put chocolate sprinkles, chocolate slice on there. It works together, but you can definitely toast this. But I think it's okay. I feel like it would taste a little better if the butter was a little warmer. I think we read that a lot of people eat this for breakfast or as a quick lunch thing. A snack. I wonder if it's a childhood thing. Let us know. All right, we're gonna bring some bread and sprinkles back over the border. Illusory. I guess people just see us and think just some regular Dutch people having lunch. Just eating the hageslag. But another thing I want to show you is the vla. I wanted to try vanilla vla. And back home at Aldi, I buy the duo vla, the vanilla chocolate mix. It's a pudding thing. Here, apparently, it comes in a tetra pack. And it's a Dutch thing. And apparently, it's not a real pudding. But it's also not a real drink. I don't know how fluid it is. How are you going to just chug that? I'm just going to waterfall that for you so you can see it. And it's like, okay, let me try. Oh gosh. Wow, that's sexy. Did you see that? Almost pudding consistency. It's a little more fluid. But it tastes awesome, dude. Question, do you drink or eat vla? 90 calories per 100 gram. This thing is 500. So like 450 calories in this. Hashtag worth it. So we're definitely bringing this home. So as you can see, it's night time already. We're walking through these streets. And it looks even more awesome during the night. It's not night time. It's like 5.30 or something. But it's already dark. Yeah, it's already dark. And we're making our way to find some dinner, which will probably be the last stop for this video. Yeah, Bertha's hungry. Mmm, Bertha. New Bertha. It's a creepy graveyard of little statues. This city is so walkable. Or if you want to drive, there are these tiny cars that you can get. And they're amazing. They can park wherever. This is literally just parked in front of a building. It's so easy. It's like a bike. And it's for two people. Two people sit in there. Looks pretty comfortable too. Has a wheel lock so it doesn't get carried away. I really thought Germany was like bike friendly and walkable. I feel like the Netherlands brings it to a whole nother level. I'm loving it. I hope cities go more towards this. It's awesome. Last but certainly not least, we came for a dish that I kept hearing everywhere. And it's kapsalang. We went to this place called Sinbad right here behind me. And I actually found it on Reddit. I googled Amsterdam kapsalang best and this popped up on Reddit. This was the recommendation of the people. So this has to be the real deal. So we'll see. So it's pretty much fries with gyro meat. We got chicken. And then there's like the sauce in it. There's a cheese layer. And they put it in the oven and it has a nice melt on it. And then they add this lettuce, tomato and cucumber on top afterwards. This is not so common in Germany. But we do see it in the Dusseldorf area. However, it's everywhere here. This place is like a sauna. It's full and everyone just kept ordering two, three, four kapsalangs takeaway. It was like a line in front of us. And it's like a doner place. And all the doner places here have doner but also kapsalang. All right, we've got the cheese. We've got the meat. We've got the fry and some sauce on there. Let's give it a try. Wow. So it's a little like a doner box but with extra sauce and cheese on top. I mean, it's your classic doner meat. It's chicken. It's very moist, very greasy. What's different about this than like the standard doner box we get in Germany is the sauce to it. The sauce and this melted cheese on top. Wow, it's so good. I think I read on one that you can get it spicy. Like sometimes it comes with this Indonesian spice. But I think we forgot to ask for that. So this is like a fusion dish I feel like with a lot of different cultures in there. Hello, it's PotatoPhil, the world's leading expert not only on potatoes but also on doner kebab. And since this is very close relative to the doner, my words will be law. Wow, wow, someone's confident. I'm curious if it just tastes like a doner or better or the same. I like the chicken meat. It's slightly greasy but not too greasy. Nice and flavorful. All the grease is like dripping down on the fries which are on the bottom. The fries are super fresh from the deep fryer. However, not super seasoned. And overall, it's a very satisfying dish. I think it's very heavy. I think for me, the cheese slice is okay on it. What I'm missing is a little bit of that cabbage crunch that a regular doner gives you. Here they only put iceberg lettuce on top, one slice of tomato, one slice of onion. If it would have that crunchy coleslaw, the white one and the red one on top of this, this is a killer. But yeah, this is pretty close to a doner box which you could get in Germany. Just a little bit of an elevated version, I want to say. The sauce makes it nice. So I kind of knew I would like this but this is my first one that I ever had. And yeah, it's pretty dang good. That's a good dinner. Let's be honest, if you lived here, you'd be eating this a lot. Absolutely not wrong. I absolutely love seeing all these different cities and going to different places and trying new cuisine. I feel like there's way too much Dutch food to try in one video. We're so full. So let us know of any other dishes that we need to try. Is there a favorite one that we still missed? Yeah, maybe we'll do a Dutch food tour number three. Rotterdam, maybe? Maybe. All right, this is it for this video. As always, thank you so much for watching. We'll see you next time. Bye-bye.
