Eating and Drinking: Hagelslaag!
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is one of my favourite things about The Netherlands! Hagelslaag is chocolate sprinkles ( a bit like vermicelli) that you can eat for breakfast on bread. It comes in different flavours of chocolate, my favourite is plain. It's also great on toast, as it melts slightly. It's available on the breakfast section of major supermarkets like Albert Heijn, for around 1 euro 70 a box. I imagine that it is really intended for children, but 'big kids' shouldn't miss out either!

     It's been ages since I had a peek of Amsterdam. 'been contemplating to visit it one of these days. Thanks for the tips! Am curious about the hotel and had always been my dream to go to Vincent's (Van Gogh) museum. Cheers!

     Thanks for the rijsttafel recommendation. Over here in asia, it's called 'tok panjang' or long table.

     Sorry to hear that we (cyclists) got on your nerves when you were in Amsterdam. But I notice you also wrote: "maybe next time I will pluck up the courage to rent a bicycle" -- yes, that's what I suggest. It's a healthy & exhilarating way to see the city!

     Amsterdam is just such a great place it always feels like home to me probably the Dutch - South African connection - thanks for sharing :-) Jo
