I lived 5 minutes walking away from the Haagse Mart (as we called it) utntil age 6 so it was a regular thing until then. Even after we moved we'd still take the tram there. Now I live in Delft but when I see the market I'm that little kid again.

Great to hear about your experience. I also have a nostalgic feeling anytime I go to the market. It reminds me of the open market back home in Nigeria.

@@josphineogugua In its form and size it's unique in The Netherlands. To me it's such a normal thing. I really need to go back there again. I was a child in the 70s so it was a much less diverse market as to what was being sold. I think why it still exists and thrives and not been replaced by houses is that people who moved from outside of Europe to The Hague started their businesses on that market.

I love Nigerian meals, so delish! I am Zambian and do make Zambian meals and that's why I enjoy these videos because as a newbie to the Netherlands (4 months), I am discovering through you😃. I was in Brussels last week with some Zambians living here and it was so pricey at the African market and I told them about your videos and how the prices here seemed better. So we are gonna try to market next. Thanks for the content ❤

I’m so glad the videos help in some way. Open market here is the way forward, African stores are a bit pricey, I only go there when I need very specific ingredients, other than that, open market is where I go. Hope you’re enjoying your stay so far? 🤗

I only know how to cook some Ethiopian or Eritrean food. Never had Nigerian cuisine, but maybe I will get the chance sometime. Do you know of any restaurants?

@josphineogugua Жыл бұрын

Hi hi, Easy African dishes are delicious too but can be very different from West African cuisine. I don’t have a restaurant here that I can recommend but I’ll say Googling Nigerian restaurants near me might help. I think in Amsterdam there are quite a few..

When I see all those cans with things like fufu, I have to admit I would have no idea what to do with that. I tried to make some African dishes with the help of YT tutorials and they turned out good, but without the experience of how it should taste it’s hard to tell if I was on the right track.

@josphineogugua Жыл бұрын

Kudos to you for even trying. Most Nigerian dishes for example are really not easy to make. They take up a lot of time and need some practice to completely master them. I’ll say Iwhen you try and the food tastes great to you then that’s it … You did that!👌🏾🤗

@@josphineogugua I have a lot of experience with Indonesian and Surinamese food so I’m familiar with a lot of the ingredients. Most of the veggies are used in Suriname dishes and easy to get in a toko. But it sure takes time, one dish I had to regularly stir for an hour and then I just had the onions ready to continue. It was good but I used some alternative ingredients because some where hard to find. Especially the seasoned butter (forgot the name) I had to improvise.

Nice video. Your glowing btw... i watched your videos randomly and forgot your expecting. One question....I also live overseas and here Nestle and Milo are big as well. I see you particularly go look for it but in The Netherlands, as far as I can remember, in The Netherlands it is considered a low quality brand. Is it one of those things you trust or dont you like the Dutch (higher quality) alternatives. I also see that you buy powdered milk a lot. You know that is the obsolete subsidized quota from the European Union right thats turned into powder and send to Asia and Africa? In The Netherlands, you be able to get the fresh one very easily. Im wondering about that....

@josphineogugua Жыл бұрын

Hi Alex, Thanks for your comment 🤗. I’ve tried out hot chocolates from Dutch brands and still prefer milo, I also prefer the powdered milk, it really has to do with what I’m used to and personal preference. I’m not a big fan of the fresh milk and since I don’t use it often it always gets bad in my fridge and I have to keep getting new bottles, that’s why I stick with the powdered milk since they don’t get bad easily.

@AlexK-yr2th Жыл бұрын

@@josphineogugua Makes a lot of sense. My stomach gets upset here from the fresh milk as well and too many times it went bad. Have you tried the Chocomel from Nutricia? Recently they start selling it here (at a ridiculous price) and it is still the best by far for me. Just very fattening. But I must say, till date, I am still surprised how much they love Nestle/Milo here where i find it mediocre at best. I get what you are saying. Im an expat in a foreign country as well but still I stick to my ways. Just cant get fresh bread/milk/dairy products like I was used to here and everything is full of preservatives....
