One of the best things I ate during my entire 3-week trip to Belgium and the Netherlands is a…read morefreshly-made stroopwafel I got at a farmer's market in Delft. The business has been making stroopwafels from a homemade recipe since 1951. Three generations have been selling stroopwafels in farmers markets across the Netherlands. They have a fixed schedule on which markets they sell on which days. Since it's market day in Delft on Thursdays, they set up shop in Delft on Thursdays. They have various stroopwafels at different price points. Most of them are made the day before and are packaged for later consumption or for gifts. However there is a person also making fresh stroopwafels and you can get this for €1.30. Cash only. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND HAVE A FRESH STROOPWAFEL. Trust me, that shit's life-changing. (Apologies for the lack of pictures as I ate the entire thing within minutes of purchase. It's really that good. No need to warm it over a coffee nor does it taste of preservatives like the ones you can get at Costco.) Well worth the penance of walking 376 steps climbing the tower of Nieuwe Kerk!

Awesome! I was at Yoyo getting a drink for my kids and the owner made a drink that I really liked…read more He recommended the Korean bibimbap. I walked around all the food places that mostly have fried fish and meats, and decided to try the vegetable bibimbap. It was delicious! Steamed rice with carrots, cucumbers, pickled radish, tofu, and avocado. All very fresh... Topped with 3 different kinds of light sauces and sesame seeds. Loved it! I'd definitely come back and choose to eat here over the greasy fried and heavily sauced places in this mall.

So, they come on the Tuesday (Martinus Nijhofflaan, 8:30-15:30) and Thursday (Markt, 8:00-5:00)…read moremarkets, and I never paid attention since I am following a gluten free diet and they are a traditional Dutch bakery. Or so I thought! Thanks to a tip online, I found out about their gluten free products - and wow, they have a really impressive selection! Roze koeken, kruidnootjes, snelle henkie, pain provence, and appel muffin were among my choices, and although I haven't eaten them all yet, so far everything is really tasty. Not the usual texture problems with gluten free items. Everything is individually wrapped. So glad to have found them - definitely a step up from the packaged stuff at the supermarkets.

The Big Apple is known for its small hotdog stands whereas in Rotterdam we can trump that one! Hans Worst is everything you would like a hot dog to be and then a little bit more. Not only can you find Hans Worst on top of the famous Koopgoot but you can also find them as traveling entrepreneurs as well. You could catch these guys at festivals, cd-releases (especially when Three Dead Mexicans on a Skateboard is playing) and even at Schorem Haarsnijder En Barbier. There sausages are made of 100% organic pork or beef and come with toppings of your choice. Bacon, sauerkraut, chili sauce or sambal it is yours for the taking. It is a feast for the senses as they will always have some good tunes playing in the background as well!

Hotdogs! Hotdogs! Hotdogs! Come and get them while they're hot!!! Dat beeld schiet er altijd door…read moremijn hoofd als ik aan hotdogs denk. Maar Hans Worst hoeft zijn waar niet eens schreeuwend aan te prijzen, de mensen komen vanzelf op het kraampje af. En dat is logisch want deze man staat al sinds 2002 heerlijke hotdogs te verkopen op precies dezelfde plek. Na 10 jaar weten mensen zijn heerlijke hotdogs vanzelf te vinden en als je niet genoeg hebt aan 1 broodje op straat tijdens het winkelen dan is de kraam ook in te huren voor feesten en partijen en kun je de hele avond hotdogs verorberen. En saai is dat helemaal niet want met meer dan 13 soorten toppings (mijn favo zijn de chilibonen, kaassaus of gebakken uitjes) kun je elke keer wat anders krijgen. Het adres dat bij de zaak vermeld staat is van de C&A maar hij staat dus altijd pal voor deze winkel!

They offer freshly cut fries in a cone with sauce as well as plates with meat toppings. The portions are a bit small for almost €7 (for the Asian Chicken plate) and it looks like there are more fries in the cheaper cone. The pulled chicken was topped with peanut sauce and sambal hot sauce.
