OUR LIFE IN DORDRECHT (dutch food tour from locals)

[@edwinsuijkerbuijk5106]

That small alley at 4:11 is called the Zakkendragersstraat and translates to the sack carrier street. It leads away from the old harbor and was part of the route to transport cargo to the market place. Because it is so narrow it would be that in the morning it would be one way in the direction from the harbor to the market, and in the afternoon one way in the direction from the market to the ships.

[@vanderquast]

Great food vlog 👍Dordrecht is one of the most underrated towns of The Netherlands 😌

[@TonyMontana-st7mq]

Town ? It is a city the first one with city rights

[@lovemadeinjapan]

It at least has maybe the best piece of architecture in the Netherlands. Please do a vlog on that: the former province office near the station. Archiporn 10/10!

Peanut butter/sambal/egg is (Dutch-)Indonesian food inspired.

Dordrecht is a beautiful place to relax. And now we know they also have a lot of yummy food. Your new haircut looks great Michelle. ❤❤❤

[@BrazenNL]

Peanut butter is so versatile. I like it either sweet (with sugar) or hot (with sambal and for instance cucumber). Love the new hair!

[@lovemadeinjapan]

Try it with sambal and coconut flakes.

[@forkless]

I've been making (Calvé) PB sandwiches with (Koningsvogel) sambal badjak since the early 80's. Never, ever have I tried adding a fried egg on top though! Which will be the next order of business tomorrow 🤤

No surprise this video made me hungry!! Dordrecht is a wonderful city with a rich history and great spots to enjoy the view on the water and the boats cruising through!

[@wasneeplus]

You picked a great city. I live not too far away, in Gouda, and Dordrecht is one of my favourite places to visit.

[@johanhoeijenbos2340]

I miss a visit to some Hofjes in Dordrecht. Have you not discovered the Lenghenhof or the Arend Maartenszhof yet? And try-out some kibbeling or haring on the Vriesebrug.

[@sanderkoekkoek9866]

Glad to see we get some love, for all those people watching from China, a tour with a tourguid who speaks fluent Mandarin is a option.

Oudste stad van het gewest Holland. De binnenstad is nog steeds erg mooi, maar er is wel een hoop gesloopt waaronder het oude postkantoor, waar een lelijk gebouw voor in de plaats kwam (de HEMA). Columnist in het AD Kees Thies heeft er veel over geschreven.

Ook jammer dat de V&D al zo lang leeg staat.

Dear couple. Although I live in Rotterdam, I like to take my bike on the waterbus and come to Dordrecht for some great food in a fabulous city. You'll have to try the poffertjes at Vissers at the Koemarkt. They are the best!

[@daluzsoares]

There are several shipping hubs around Dordrecht that are among the busiest in the Netherlands. Southwest of Dordrecht is the intersection of the Dordtse Kil with the Oude Maas. North of Dordrecht the intersection of the Noord, Beneden Merwede and Wantij with the Oude Maas, also called the three river point.

[@buncharted]

so fun to watch the waterbuses and giant shipping boats float by

[@6Dante6Inferno6TV]

Hi guys! I didn’t know y’all we’re living in Dordrecht💜 it would be so fun to meet y’all In Curious if it was easy to find a normal coffee shop for y’all instead of getting directed to a “Green” Coffeeshop? I was born and raised in Dordrecht till 18 , then moved to the hills of Calabasas🥰 but I’ve taken a year of work (work in the entertainment industry) so I’m spending a couple of months in Dordrecht now! Loved the vlog and love to hear that y’all love my old hometown!💜 (Dordrecht is the oldest city/island in the Netherlands by the way! If y’all didn’t know)

[@BabzV]

I love Dordrecht, spent my high-school years there, beautiful city with a lot of interesting history. 💜

[@peterf1]

Let's start with the most important issue: Michelle, the hair is fabulous. Secondly we're so glad you have landed in that perfect place of not too big, not too small. Those Thai and Italian food options say a lot about the broad mix of shops and people in the area. Nice. And yeah, mind blown over that peanut butter / sambal / egg sandwich. Just as an FYI, 'cause I always seem to make about me 😁 the vegan dishes are great to see as I'm trying to be a better meatless cook and examples are so helpful. All The Way to 25, in '24!

what does "all the way to 25" mean? :)

I love Piacere! Got my cousins hooked on them too haha. If you want a tasty vegetarian/vegan sandwich, try the verdure sandwich, it’s been my go to for a while. Other great Italian places in the center are Strada Del Vino & Otto e Mezzo. My favorite restaurant in Dordrecht has to be De Stroper though.

[@buncharted]

i think the owner of daily meel used to work at otto e mezzo!

[@EGO0808]

Seeing you both sitting there at the Merwede there, makes me think back a long long time ago, when I as a 4 year old kid found some coins on the street and decided to take my back then girlfriend (I started pretty young, I know) on the ferry to the other side (Zwijndrecht). However I stumbled near the river and fell into it. Luckily my girlfriend pointed at me, while looking at some people around and I was quickly saved from drowning. Wet and cold, an ambulance came and I was taken to hospital for a check up. All was good, but this memory stays with me forever. Yes, I am born in Dordrecht. 😂

since you living in dordt close rotterdam, in rotterdam you have a place call go cafe rivium zuid or noord they are the same. they make all the bread themself and panini’s and sort of pizza slices/bread. those are gooooooood. the petit pain rauwe ham pesto and Pizza broodje Prosciutto (Ham) or Tonijn or Pesto or Salami or Magarita. or my favorites but they are all good. its near a gasstation where you won’t expect it but damn the food is good

[@marcohollander6640]

Growing up as a kid my father introduced me to jam and cheese sandwiches. I don't know if it's something dutch or well known, but i still love white bread with jam and cheese. I past it on a generation, my daughter loves them to. Hagelslag and peanutbutter is a weird but known combination to.

[@davevanbeers6944]

Dankjewel voor deze aflevering! Pindakaas en sambal is lekker, maar ik eet pindakaas liever met een beetje suiker er overheen. Dan plakt het niet zo erg. 😊 mortadella, hmmmmmmmm😊

Omg what a start of this video....pindakaas met ei??? I have to try it.

Dont know if you can get it over there, but you should try the Loempia speciaal. Its a big loempia with a slice of ham, a fried egg on top and peanutsauce (satésaus) I love them!

Ik vind het zo leuk om video's te zien over de stad waar ik ben geboren en opgegroeid. En fijn dat ik met jullie mag meekijken! Ik kom er nog steeds, want mijn moeder woont er, maar ik wilde niets liever dan weg uit die stad, toen ik 18 was. Saai vond ik het. Maar Dordrecht is zo veel leuker geworden de afgelopen 10 jaar. Super goede tips hebben jullie! Hebben jullie wel eens de boot door de havens van Dordrecht genomen (De Dordtevaer)? Of met Si Barone over een tocht gemaakt? Aanrader! (I hope you can read this message, please let me know if I need to translate, but your are working hard on your Dutch, I get the impression, so happy to help!)

[@michelbosman7041]

Appelmarijnen van Bakkerij van de Sterre op de Vriesestraat. Een echte aanrader!

[@gilles111]

The butchery Verkerk doesn't reopen. The owner died last year and his wife tried to continue but closed the shop because it was too much for her and there weren't any new buyers for the shop. But the butchery Gelderblom in the Sterrenburg mall got the recipe of the paardenworst and is selling it since a few weeks. So get over there and get it.

[@eddieh1530]

Darn it! now I want a sandwich......Lol Fun show.

[@hotpepperkites]

You need to try gebak van Brokking and schapenkoppen koekjes. And Nobels Brood is awesome.

Great vibe. Curious about how you guys ended up in Dordrecht. I’m guessing you may have already covered this in a previous video. Most expat KZbinrs seem to be in the most famous cities of the countries that they are in: London, Paris, Berlin. Having said that, it’s wonderful to get your impressions of a typical Dutch city that I didn’t already know about (I’ve been to Amsterdam many times, den Haag and a few other places. My brother in law lives in Haarlem after having been in Delft for many years - and we have visited him in both places.) Viele Grüße aus Nürnberg.

[@ShadowDrakken]

I love lumpia, especially Shanghai style with Smilejenna sauce. They're like the anti-eggroll; more meat than vegetable and wonderful sweet and spicy sauce XD

[@wfortuijn]

Great video, again. Do you use public transport a lot? I come from the (small) town Leerdam, the glass blowing city. Great experience to see how they do that. But just the trainride from Dordrecht to Geldermalsen is a beautiful ride, called the Merwede-Linge lijn. Might be something for your 2 Do list. By the way, if you guys love meat try the Argentina restaurant they have amazing spareribs, you can see it feom the glassblowing experience.

[@buncharted]

we use public transport all the time. we don’t drive and we don’t ride our bikes long distances! is geldermalsen worth a visit? we did take that line to get to gorinchem (it’s where we went to febo in our bram vs smullers vs febo video).

[@wfortuijn]

​@@buncharted Geldermalsen is mostly known for the bike routes around it, its a village with a lot of history of farming fruits, it has a big auction for apples and pears but is not open to public as far as i know. ( But i dont know very much about it, used to go to carpentry school there, and now once every few years i will go there for the Airsoft headquarters, but thats it) But inbetween Leerdam and Geldermalsen is a village called Beesd, with an Estate witch is open for public, a few shops, restaurants and a beautiful nature walk you can look it up. Especially around the time of blossem its amazing around there.

[@jaccovermeulen2762]

Merwede is one of the few words where every e is pronounced in a different way. First one as in get, second like the a in date. and third one as in different. Stress is on first syllable.

[@buncharted]

[@ilex471]

I've lived in Dordrecht for 62 years, 25 of which in the old city, but half the places you go to I don't recognize instantly. For instance that Daily Meel: I went to elementary school around the corner in the Hofstraat, but I didn't recognize the street now. About the paardenworst from butcher Verkerk: the widow has given the recipe to butcher Gelderblom in Sterrenburg mall, and he is selling the paardenworst again since last week. It is also my understanding that Britons and Americans usually don't eat horsemeat. Did you like the paardenworst? (I love it, I eat it every week).

[@buncharted]

we had it a few times from verkerk as a special treat. we definitely enjoyed it! it’s true that americans don’t eat horse meat though. we hadn’t had it before moving to the netherlands :). thanks for letting us know we can still get it! daily meel just opened a few months ago! it’s right across from pim’s (the pannenkoek shop).

(shocked every time I remind myself!...), and got married in Gloucester where I also live with my wife who, was born in Leicester, and my 2 children who were both born in Gloucester.......BTW, they do not speak one word of dutch..... (long story...), other than swearing of which I told my son to 'use' in case of being approached by certain people in the streets of Amsterdam when visiting.... ('Sodemieter op!' for example.....:).....). DO I miss dutch chips (patat), met Zaanse of Remia mayonnaise, poffertjes (visit the 'Poffertjes Salon'!), en 'haring met uitjes' (herring with onions), niet te vergeten kipsate! (chicken in peanut sauce)........ Sorry, started speaking dutch when mentioning all this wonderful traditional dutch food, which I miss so much!! 'Niet te vergeten' means 'Do not forget'...... Be careful, when trying Belgian beer like Duvel, do not drink the last bit....., my wife sprinkled her ankle in the past when she did so! (and I forgot to warn her!). Enjoy yourselves!
