The Foodie Club visited Flaming Wings and since we were already in the area, part of our itinerary was to drop by Van Marley’s for dessert. It was just a measly 5-8 minute drive on a lazy Sunday evening.
Van Marley’s is a small, quaint foodie hub for simple and straightforward Dutch specialties. If there is one thing that makes Van Marley’s stand out and quite known for, it’s their “Dutchkins” –fluffy baby Dutch pancakes. And this is what the actual goal is for this specific food trip.
The dutchkins come with your choice of toppings:
Original: Powdered sugar and butter PHP 125
Whipped Berry Mix Cream Cheese PHP 125
Whipped Lemon Cream Cheese PHP 125
Nutella and Praline Sauce PHP 130
*add PHP 12 for a scoop of ice cream
On the Table
While the rest of the Club had 2 plates of dutchkins with nutella and praline sauce and 1 plate of whipped berry mix cream cheese between them (with Peter and Irene sharing a cold Stella Artois Lager Beer), these are what Bubba and I ordered:
Kroket PHP 135
Seeing the banner of the Kroket (croquette) outside, Bubba relented to ordering one and he was pleasantly satisfied that he did so. The medium-sized deep fried meat rolls that are cylindrical in shape were composed of both chicken and beef meat, some potatoes and spices.
The breadcrumbs in which the filling was encased was light and gave a good crunchy golden layer that’s as appetizing as the outside as the inside.
Dutchkins with Nutella and Praline Sauce PHP 130
The dutchkins are like bite-size pancakes with a billowed middle where the flavor/topping is delicately piped into. The addicting nutella inside is that delicious hazelnut spread we all love that gives a hint of cocoa, nuts and skim milk. The Praline sauce brings the harmony together with its pecan and buttery flavor. Yes, dutchkins make your mouth water 😉

The dutchkins are light and pillowy soft that popping one pancake munchkin at a time in your mouth can be quite a habit. It’s so fluffy! 😉
Flying Dutch Wings PHP 155
Herbed spicy wings with a zing!
A Between Bites reader, after reading my current and long-standing craving for Buffalo wings, suggested that I try Van Marley’s version of buffalo wings that they call, Flying Dutch Wings. The “Club” could not believe their eyes that just after having dinner of buckets of chicken wings minutes prior, I still preferred to order another plate of wings.
Van Marley’s Dutch wings are zesty wings that are worth a bite.
If you’re looking for something different to try, Van Marley’s offers you dutchkins, a dessert or tea/coffee snack-aroo that’s like no other. Next time, I’m ordering dutchkins to go.
I sure hope Van Marley’s box is as appealing as their dutchkins.
