1
This is the top rated place in all of Amsterdam to get strope waffles.
2
Well, at least if you're asking TikTok.
3
If you ask anyone else, pretty much the exact opposite.
4
RIP-OFF.
5
23 euro for two small plain strope waffles.
6
100% do not recommend.
7
Stay away.
8
Avoid this tourist trap.
9
Huge disappointment.
10
A tourist trap best avoided.
11
Long queue.
12
Very expensive.
13
Overhyped.
14
It was the worst strope waffle in Amsterdam.
15
This is the reality of getting travel advice from TikTok, where oftentimes the people that are giving the advice aren't actually locals, they have no idea what they're actually talking about,
16
and most of the time the places they choose aren't actually good, they're just, you know, the most flashy, so therefore they do well with the algorithm.
17
Ooh.
18
Now Amsterdam's not the only place that suffers from the TikTok tax.
19
I have genuinely seen the park in front of St. Paul's
20
Cathedral being listed on an Instareel as a hidden gem of London.
21
Ah yes, that building that can be seen from most parts of London.
22
Quite a big secret.
23
Darn, I hope they don't find out about the big clock tower we got.
24
The locals would be so angry.
25
Where was I?
26
Hi, I'm Evan Edinger, that YouTuber that sometimes makes videos comparing the UK and the US or whatever else I fancy.
27
And today we're diving into why you shouldn't always trust TikTok when it comes to travel recommendations, especially in Amsterdam.
28
Let's start with the Strope Waffle, but not the one you might be thinking about.
29
This is what most Brits probably think of when they hear the term Strope Waffle, A pre-packaged caramel waffle that they sell in the Starbucks or grocery store.
30
Whereas this falling apart thing, this is the real deal.
31
This is a fresh strope waffle.
32
It's not just the size that counts, but it's how fresh it's made.
33
It's the oozing caramel coming out the sides.
34
Mmm, oh my god.
35
Night and day.
36
It's like going to Wagamama's and saying, you've had a true Japanese experience.
37
Stop that.
38
A freshly made strope waffle is a world apart than the pre-packaged ones that you can find in the grocery store.
39
It's not just a cookie.
40
It's an experience.
41
Two freshly made thin waffles made right in front of you, and then in the middle, hot caramel squished in between.
42
It's my favorite cookie, if you can even call it that.
43
TikTok's top choice for Stroopwafels in Amsterdam might feel like the obvious choice.
44
I mean, there are strength in numbers usually, but if you're someone that genuinely gets most of your travel advice from TikTok,
45
well, there would be one place that was definitely showing up in your feed over and over and over.
46
And that's Van Wanderen Stroopwafels. So that's
47
the expectation, and here's the reality.
48
First you wait in a 20 minute queue with everyone else that considers TikTok a valid source of information,
49
then after waiting you find just one of the Strope Waffles costs nearly 20 euros.
50
Finally, you take a bite and realize you've ascended.
51
Now I understand why on Van Wondernam's website they claim to be the world's best stroke waffle.
52
Because it's all just marketing bullshit.
53
They cover their stroke waffle and candies to attempt to hide the fact that the core stroke waffle is incredibly mid.
54
A simple look at Google Maps would have probably helped most people out of the situation.
55
If you look at the Google reviews on Google Maps for Van Wanderen, they have over 5,000 reviews.
56
That's a lot.
57
However, the average review for 5,000 reviews is a 3.3.
58
Yikes.
59
And it's a shame, because there's a lot of Stroopwafel places around Amsterdam enjoyed by locals and tourists alike.
60
In one way, it's a good thing, because the actually good places aren't clogged up with tourists that are more interested in Instagramming the food than eating it.
61
And so for you right now, I'm going to take you to the three places in Amsterdam that actually have good Stroopwafel worth trying.
62
If you're annoyed at how I pronounce Amsterdam differently every time I say it, so am I.
63
My brain is very confused.
64
First up is Rudy's in Albert Kuipe Market.
65
Rudy's has been serving up the same recipe of stroopwafels from the small food truck in the market since 1978.
66
Just one original stroopwafel please.
67
And you'd think with a story and a history like that, Rudy's would be charging even more than the TikTok place.
68
But you'd actually be wrong.
69
They're less than a fifth of the price.
70
How much is it?
71
$250.
72
Lovely.
73
And that's the way it should be, to be honest.
74
It's a cookie.
75
Kinda.
76
It's a strobe waffle.
77
Not your bag, love you.
78
No, no, no. Incredible bargain.
79
The ones in the center that are for TikTok.
80
Yeah.
81
And today, the day that I got to visit, Rudy, the OG Rudy, was actually there serving me up.
82
Rudy's original.
83
This is Rudy.
84
Wow.
85
The papa is here today.
86
Original.
87
You're lucky.
88
The papa is here.
89
Looks delicious.
90
Oh, the original.
91
No chocolate for me, please.
92
Rudy's is the way a stroopwafel should be.
93
Cheap, incredibly fresh, delicious, crisp, moist.
94
It's perfect.
95
I would say if you're looking for a stroopwafel in the original recipe, you really can't find any better than Rudy's.
96
One of the big issues with Rudy's stroopwafels is that they're not open all the time.
97
They're actually only open four days of the week, and of those days, they also close at 5 p.m.
98
What if you've had a, I don't know, some special things at a coffee shop in Amsterdam at like 7 p.m
99
and you want a hot, fresh stroopwafel?
100
Can't go there.
101
So therefore, my second pick is Melly's Stroke Waffle.
102
Now, Melly's Stroke Waffle, they're not made fresh in front of you.
103
You don't see them making them.
104
They're not hot, so there's some negative points there.
105
But they do taste amazing.
106
It's a solid stroke waffle.
107
Wish it was hotter and fresher.
108
But in terms of, like, always open and stuff, it's a good one.
109
Now, Melly's does cost quite a bit more, but they do provide toppings, if that's something you're after.
110
I would say that if you're going to go there to bring some back, getting their made prepackaged ones are actually pretty good.
111
I like to give these as gifts to my family whenever I visit Amsterdam to be like, here you go, I brought you these.
112
Please love me.
113
They are very fresh and crisp and delicious.
114
Probably some of the best packaged stroopwafels you can get.
115
But now it's time to stray from the traditional recipe and move on to my favorite stroopwafel in all of Amsterdam.
116
Hans Eggstorf.
117
Whereas most stroopwafel have a very similar base with a little variation, I feel like their batter,
118
their dough, their stroopwafel actually tastes more like a waffle than a cookie.
119
Like, there's a bit of a pancake-y taste, a bit of a waffly taste that is definitely not the original recipe, but I think actually makes it just that much better.
120
Plus there is something to be said about being able to
121
watch them make the hot fresh stroopwafel right in front of you.
122
It does add a bit to it.
123
The vibe of the whole place, it's very nice.
124
Now the cost of getting one at Hans Eggstorf is right here, but this plus Mellie's plus Rudy's is still less than the cost of the TikTok one in Van Wanderen.
125
Now for the vegans in my audience feeling a bit left out, There is one place that I can recommend for vegan stroopwafel.
126
It's right down the street from the TikTok place And it's called Queen's Stroopwafels.
127
They're a little expensive at 10 euro
128
And they're not as good as the non vegan ones in my opinion
129
But I did introduce some of my vegan friends to them last time I was in Amsterdam
130
and they seemed to like them quite a lot.
131
Queen's vegan Nice little place here Is it nice?
132
Really good.
133
Oh sweet.
134
I wasn't expecting to like it because stroopwafel was a little bit overwhelming.
135
It's bit sugary.
136
But my god, it's so good.
137
It's such good balance.
138
Fresh ones are so much better than the ones you get that are hard as well.
139
I don't think I've ever had a fresh one.
140
Yeah, this is the only place you can get really good at, but it's Amsterdam.
141
I really don't like them when they're dry. So here's the thing.
142
There's nothing wrong with using TikTok or Instagram to find some inspiration on places to go or where to eat.
143
As long as you don't let it be the only place of inspiration.
144
Whenever I'm researching for places to go in a city I've never been
145
or a city that I want to know more about, The first place I really go is local subreddits, because finding out, for instance, what the best burger in Amsterdam is,
146
is really easy when there are multiple threads on the Amsterdam subreddit of locals arguing, whether it's Burger Bar or Beef Chief.
147
I've tried Burger Bar.
148
It was actually pretty good.
149
It's not quite Burgermeister in Berlin, but gets my stamp of approval.
150
Or I usually also check out some travel vlogs on YouTube because I feel like I can quickly parse that information.
151
TikTok is everything is just so gleamy.
152
That's kind of the whole point of the platform.
153
You don't have time to process things on it.
154
YouTube is a bit more longer, drawn out, and you can still watch it at two times speed.
155
The optimal way of watching anything.
156
Except my videos, don't do that to my watch time, please.
157
You see a really long queue around the corner, you know, our monkey brains go, Ooh, must be popular, must be good, and...
158
Rarely is.
159
It's not just Stropewafel that has been subject to the TikTok tax, but also fries.
160
You know the expression, cheap as chips?
161
Well, not so much here.
162
This is Fabelfriet, a shop in the 9 streets area of Amsterdam that specializes in aesthetically pleasing french fries.
163
Fabelfriet have leaned in really hard to the TikTok audience.
164
During the pandemic they posted a lot showing their aesthetically pleasing chips and well, now the queue wraps around the block.
165
The issue is just how much the insane footfall affects the nearby businesses to the shop.
166
Fabelfried has to employ two bouncers to manage the queue, including an area just in front of the shop where they have to have a break, and then more people on the other side of the street over top of the bridge.
167
You'd be forgiven for thinking this is a queue for some sort of celebrity rather than some French fries.
168
But the biggest issue here is that the shop is so small, it doesn't have enough seating to satisfy the insane footfall generated by the TikToks,
169
and therefore the people are just spilling out all over the place.
170
So much so that the residents that live here have signs saying, please don't sit here, plastered on their door.
171
I just spoke to a local business owner who also said she's having a lot of negative impacts
172
because people are standing in front of her shop, blocking visibility.
173
They have to put signs up all over the place, and yet it still doesn't seem to be helping.
174
In situations like this, I think it would make a lot more sense
175
if the business owner of the french fry shop would move to a larger location to accommodate the footfall.
176
However, part of me thinks, well, this is all part of his plan because the giant queue
177
that he has probably is going to convince more people that are passing by, oh, maybe this is worth it, as opposed to just waiting 30 minutes for some french fries with fancy sauce on it.
178
But hey, looks good on the gram.
179
I will say that the business owners of Fable of Treats have definitely leaned into TikTok, but at this point they've come out and said,
180
we don't want to be seen as the TikTok place.
181
Hey, can I ask you a question?
182
How did you find out about this place?
183
Oh, um, internet.
184
Was it TikTok?
185
TikTok, alright.
186
Can I ask you a question?
187
How did you find out about this place?
188
TikTok.
189
TikTok.
190
Can I ask you where you found this place from? In TikTok.
191
TikTok.
192
Where did you find out about this place?
193
Tick Tock.
194
Tick Tock.
195
From Tick Tock.
196
Tick Tock.
197
Alright.
198
Well whose fault was that?
199
Six euros forty cents.
200
That's reasonably priced.
201
Yeah I know.
202
If you wait outside we'll cut Evan Linsert.
203
Thank you very much.
204
Evan.
205
Evan.
206
So I've just got myself some of their chips
207
because after seeing me filming for so long the employees let me skip the queue a bit.
208
YouTuber privileges.
209
Alright let's see.
210
Are these chips worth all the hype?
211
That's actually pretty good.
212
These are delicious.
213
I will also say, despite the incredibly long queue and the stressful situation for all the neighbors, they have not yet jacked up the price of these chips.
214
These chips are only £6.40.
215
And even though there are a lot of more well-established brands around Amsterdam selling Belgian fries, this place, with all of its TikTok fame,
216
could very well just increase the price and do what Ben Wunderen did.
217
But, it's a good product, not that expensive.
218
Maybe it's not too much their fault, but it's so popular.
219
The seagulls are after me.
220
This is not yours, it's mine.
221
Mine, mine, mine.
222
MINE?

इस वीडियो के साथ बोलने का अभ्यास क्यों करें?

व्याकरण और अभिव्यक्तियाँ संदर्भ में
वीडियो में कई महत्वपूर्ण अभिव्यक्तियाँ और व्याकरणिक संरचनाएँ हैं, जो सीखने के लिए उपयोगी हो सकती हैं:
- "23 euro for two small plain strope waffles" - यह संरचना 'कुछ के लिए कीमत' बताती है, जिससे आप कीमत पूछने और बताने का अभ्यास कर सकते हैं।
- "Huge disappointment" - यह अभिव्यक्ति भावनाओं को व्यक्त करने का एक तरीका है। आप इसे अपनी व्यक्तिगत अनुभवों में उपयोग कर सकते हैं।
- "Stay away. Avoid this tourist trap." - यह सुझाव देने की संरचना आपको बोली में सलाह देने के लिए प्रेरित कर सकती है।
- "A world apart" - यह एक सादृशता के रूप में उपयोग होता है, जो विभिन्नताएँ स्पष्ट करने में मददगार है।
सामान्य उच्चारण ट्रैप्स
वीडियो में कुछ शब्द और उच्चारण हैं, जो अंग्रेजी उच्चारण में सुधार के लिए चुनौतीपूर्ण हो सकते हैं:
- "stroopwafel" - इस शब्द का सही उच्चारण सुनिश्चित करें, खासकर 'str' और 'w' ध्वनियों पर ध्यान दें।
- "Amsterdam" - यह शहर का नाम सही तरीके से बोलना आवश्यक है, क्योंकि स्थानीय नाम और उच्चारण को समझना महत्वपूर्ण है।
- "disappointment" - यह शब्द उच्चारण में कई लोगों को मुश्किलें दे सकता है। सही तरीके से उच्चारण करने का अभ्यास करें।
इन उच्चारणों का अभ्यास करने हेतु, आप शैडोइंग तकनीक का उपयोग कर सकते हैं, जो आपके अंग्रेजी बोलने के कौशल को तेज़ी से सुधारने में मदद करेगी। shadowspeak का लाभ उठाकर, आप संवाद की सटीकता और प्रवाह को बढ़ा सकते हैं।
इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| शर्त वाले वाक्य if + उपवाक्य, will/would + क्रिया — शर्त और उसका नतीजा | If you wait outside we'll cut |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है | have genuinely seen · you've had · you've ascended |
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | being listed · can be seen · aren't clogged |
| Relative clauses who / which + उपवाक्य — व्यक्ति या वस्तु के बारे में अतिरिक्त जानकारी | people that are |
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
