My Top 3 Favorite Dutch Snacks

Eating has been one of our favorite bond time. Every time there's something new, GJ and I are always on the go. It is when we talk about plans for the future, current stories and just anything we can think of. If you want to read some of our food trips, you can head over Myxilog Food Trips.

So for today's post, I want to feature my Top 3 Favorite Snacks in the Netherlands. Here it goes!

1. Stroopwafel

Stroopwafel is one of the most popular treats not only in the Netherlands but most of the countries in Europe. It is made up of dough baked in a flat waffle maker, sliced in half and added caramel syrup in the middle, then placed back together. Ugghh, I so love this heavenly goodness (most especially when it's warm).

I had a fresh one at Almere Stad just before flying back to the Philippines, but wasn't able to take a picture. I am showing you a prepacked one instead. Stroopwafels come in different packs as well as different syrup flavors. With different sizes and pieces, they also sell crumbs (which are perfect for ice cream or cake topping). This is perfect for sweettooths out there.

2. Frites & Frikandel

Sorry for giving two items in one count. I just find that the two is a good pair.

So yeah, who will not love fries? Dutch fries or Frites are the best among all the fries I had. They are large and thick-cut fries. To fully enjoy this food, you should have mayonnaise and onions. And peanut sauce is great too! (But I do not use panut sauce that much.)



Frikandel is a type of hotdog/sausage which is served with onions. These are the food I never got tired of when I was in the Netherlands last 2016. And now, we had them every Friday evening, cause it's AirFry-day on Fridays! LOL

3. Oliebollen

This treat is widely available during winter since it is considered as a Christmas food/or New Year (?). Ollieballen are Dutch doughnuts (and called as dutchies) with raisins. deep fried and dredged to icing sugar.
You can already know that there's someone selling it on the street because of its aroma.



You can enjoy it with a cup of hot chocolate milk drink, coffee, but best is with tea.



There are also varieties of oliebol. The picture about is an oliebol with custard filling and a heart shaped chocolate.

These are all to try for, if it happened you'll be visiting the Netherlands soon!
