Dutch Kamphuisen Siroopwafel Factory

EN A time before we got home quarantined, I was meeting up with Jessy for a yummy tourguide through a syrup waffle factory 'Kamphuisen Siroopwafel Fabriek'! You can book a tour right here and this was also a birthday gift from me to Jessy that I secretly loved to be tagged along with as well. #foodie This syrupwaffle was once invented by the Dutch family Kamphuisen somewhere in the year 1800. Their syrupwaffles are slightly different than the Dutch 'stroopwafels' too. It's caramelly, waffle soft serve cone texture, brittle and crispier. And sweet, just like this whole tour experience through the factory.

NL Een tijd voordat we in thuisquarantaine zaten, sprak ik met Jessy af voor een lekkere rondleiding door een stroopwafelfabriek 'Kamphuisen Siroopwafel Fabriek'! Je kunt deze tour hier boeken en dit was ook een verjaardagscadeau van mij aan Jessy waar ik stiekem ook graag meewilde natuurlijk. #Bourgondiër Deze stroopwafel is uitgevonden door de familie Kamphuisen ergens in het jaar 1800. Hun stroopwafels smaken iets anders dan de stroopwafels. Het is karamelachtig, wafel die op softijs wafel textuur lijkt, broos en knapperiger. En zoet, net als deze hele tourervaring door de fabriek. Kijk je mee?

But first, brunch

Kruim ♥♥♥♥♥ 4/5

When I meet up with Jessy we always have so much to talk and catch up and what better way to do that is with good food. It was lunchtime and we settled down at restaurant Kruim. Kruim is a Dutch word for crumble which I thought it`s cute. Kruim is also located in a library which is lovely: you can read and eat and drink food. Anyways Jessy and I mainly talked and ate and we lost track of time! We only had 10 min to eat and walk all the way to the syrupwaffle factory!

We ordered:

1 tea 1 beetroot cacao latte 1 mackerel sandwich + salad 1 avocado egg sandwich

total damage: €23 (tip incl.)

Eeps, less then 10 mins to walk/sprint over to syrupwaffle factory! Hurry hurry!

Kamphuisen Siroopwafel fabriek

But phew, we have made it and arrived and we even still got time left. Kamphuisen syrupwaffle factory is a shop, bakery and warehouse in one. All the syrupwaffles are baked in this Kamphuisen place and delivered in all places of The Netherlands. So the tour. We were with around 10 person including us. We first got a little history storytelling about the rise of Kamphuisen`s syrupwaffle. The original recipe belongs to the family Kamphuisen back in the beginning of the year 1800. Our tour continues to the factory part with all the behind the scene and tasting!

1. Dresscode

Before we enter the factory we all had to wear this stylish blue hairnet. Our tour guide was this lovely lady who guided us through the factory with enthusiasm and care.

2. Syrup tasting

Tasting time! Here we were allowed to taste and guess which filling flavours we are having here. There was salted caramel (so good), orange flavour, chocolate and coffee. The original syrupwaffle only has the caramel version but they should really put out the salted caramel and the orange flavour one into the market! I`d totally buy.

Be a hamster with this dough-kneading-spin-the-wheel

The anatomy of a syrupwaffle. Interesting!

3. work work work

a 1800 year old waffle on a modern conveyor belt. We were able to take a good look at the step-by-step process from beginning to the end product. Super interesting of course. This whole belt thing works a bit hypnotic as well. You should really see this for yourself!

4. Recipe

Here one lucky quester could possible get the secret recipe of the syrupwaffle making! All you need to do is to crack open the safe.

The ending of the tour ends with a slide. #innerchild

But wait there`s more towards the end! We got rewarded with even more treats and syrup flavoured shots with high alcoholic percentage. Jessy`s and my very own sugar level were sky-high.

Thanks for having us Kamphuisen Siroopwafel Factory!
