Doing with King's Day: through the Tompouce drive-thru

Doing with King's Day: through the Tompouce drive-thru

Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: Celebrating King's Day with an orange tompouce.

Recently we went all out in the editorial office on the tompouce donut from Appie. Because when you say tompouce, we are in, in any variant. Such a crispy tompouce with such a shiny layer of glaze and a creamy pastry filling, we are always up for it. And if they are also made by a Master Patissier... Especially for King's Day, Master Boulanger Robèrt van Beckhoven comes with orange tompouces, which you can pick up at the drive-thru.

You can't get more Dutch than the tompouce. This impossibly decent to eat pastry made of puff pastry and pastry cream, topped with pink glaze... Delicious! Essential on grandma's birthday and orange-colored a classic on King's Day. Preferably not the one from the supermarket, filled with airy and tasteless factory cream. We prefer firm and gooey pastry cream with vanilla between the dough of our tompouce. Robèrt understands that.

The tastiest in the Netherlands
He makes double-deckers from homemade puff pastry with 100 percent butter, airy Swiss cream with real vanilla, and delicious orange fondant – you definitely don't want to miss that. No need, because they can be safely and quickly picked up on April 27 via a well-oiled orange drive-thru in Oisterwijk.

Orange above
In addition to tompouces, Robèrt and his team have more orange treats in store: from tiger puffs and macarons to dragees and chocolate flakes. Enthusiasts can place their order via the webshop of Robèrt and pick it up at the bakery's pick-up point in Oisterwijk (on King's Day, therefore in the form of a drive-thru) at the chosen time, corona-proof. You pay ten euros for four pieces.

Are you a licker or a splitter?
How you then eat it, there are all kinds of different methods for. How do you eat your tompouce?

Got the taste and ready for the next pit stop? Then drive by one of the 13 drive-thrus where you can pick up fantastic dishes. Really fun and delicious.
