Why you need to try Indonesian food in the Netherlands

[@HFDLI]

Fun Fact : as much as dutch love indonesian culinary, indonesian also love dutch pastry, many indonesian cookies, cake and bread are from dutch recipe during colonial era and today indonesia became one of the largest wheat importer in the world.

[@kykale]

And foods are also tied to holidays. Kaasstengel and nastar from Dutch origin will be eaten in Indonesian during Eid or Christmas, and speculaas and kruidnoten with spices from Indonesia will be eaten in the Netherlands during Sinterklaas.

[@harukrentz435]

I believe Indonesia is the largest wheat importer in the world because its climate doesnt support wheat plantation.

Currently, there are approximately 2 million people with an Indonesian ethnic background living in the Netherlands. There are various cuisines such as Chinese-Indonesian, Moluccan, authentic Indonesian, Dutch rice table, Chinese-Surinamese and Javanese-Surinamese. They all serve nasi goreng for example, but the tastes differ. The Chinese-Indonesian-Dutch restaurants. In the 1960s, many migrants from Hong Kong came to the Netherlands and opened Chinese restaurants. At that time, the Dutch knew little about Chinese cuisine, but did know Indonesian cuisine. The Chinese then put Indonesian dishes on the menu, but cooked in the Chinese way and adapted to the Dutch taste. In 2000, there were more than 2300 Chinese-Indonesian-Dutch restaurants. A Chinese restaurant owner once said 'in every Dutch village there is a church and a Chinese (restaurant)'. So the nasi goreng here is completely different from in Indonesia. The Chinese-Indonesia-Netherlands cuisine has also been recognized by the Dutch government as Dutch national heritage. And not to forget the popular Dutch delicacies in Indonesia such as poffertjes, kastengel (cheese sticks), klappertaart (coconut cake), kroket and martabak manis (melted chocolate sprinkles with cheese) And another funny fact is that the Dutch army feeds their soldiers with Indonesian food. In the Dutch navy this is called the 'blauwe hap' and has been served every Wednesday for the last 100 years.

Rijsttafel isn't "not too common" in Indonesia. It is very, very rare. As far as I know, there are only two old (dating from colonial days) restaurants in Indonesia still serving it. You do see a sign for "Rijsttafel" often at restaurants on Bali. But what they're serving is what we in The Netherlands would call "Nasi Goreng Speciaal". Another dish that can only be found in The Netherlands (and Flanders): Babi Pangang. From the name, one would assume it's Indonesian. But it can only be ordered at Chinese diners / takeaways. From what I've read, it is actually a dish created by German immigrants in Indonesia, and brought to The Netherlands after the war. And of course "Patatje/Frietje Oorlog", the French fries with sateh sauce and onions and mayonaise (although in Indonesia, this can also be found, brought there by people who've been in The Netherlands). And from what I've heard, it is the favourite Dutch dish among German visitors. Speaking of Germans. My mom once brought a whole pot of homemade Rendang to a potluck at a German wedding. The Germans were amazed with this "Holländische Gulasch". Licked the pot clean.

[@kykale]

Bro, babi panggang is definitely from Indonesia! It’s both native to the Bataks in North Sumatra as to the Chinese-Indonesians, who are familiar with cha siu.

Indonesian food in the Netherlands are brought back by Indos (Eurasian people living in the Indische.) If Risjttafel is rare in Indonesia, that's understandable. Because Risjtafel was commonly eaten by the Dutch in the Indische. And there were pretty big social gap between natives and Dutch. Klappertaart, bami, babi ketjap are some of Indo people's food. Which has deep root from Dutch East Indies. Conversely, Dutch influenced Indonesian cuisine as well, such as Semur(Smoor), Pastel, Kastengel, Nastar, Kroket, Bistik, Brenebon etc I suggest you listen to Tante Lien's Geef Mij Maar Nasi Goreng to understand the context.

Rijsttafel is very similar to Nasi Padang with dozens of side dishes. Rijsttafel has side dishes from every corner of Indonesia. Many Dutch people especially from the older generations are born and grew in Indonesia and are very familiar with the language, culture and cuisine. They pass on their experience and knowledge of Indonesian culture to their children and grandchildren. Also, there are many people of Indo descent which are Eurasian communities of Indonesia in the Netherlands.

If you're here try a dutch or Moroccan run fry store for authentic dutch peanut sauce. If you go to a chinese run one you're just going to be disappointed.

Rijstafel in indonesia called nasi campur

[@winwinarso3906]

Or nasi rames😮

Oalah banyak itu didaerahku. Kirain apa wkwk

Bayangkan beli ke warung dan bilang Rijstafel alih² nasi rames 🗿

[@nalen7320]

Lebih mirip disebut Prasmanan, beda skalanya. Karena di serve di meja. Kalau prasmanan terpisah sama meja makan. Menu nya sama, berbagai menu dari berbagai daerah didalam satu piring.

Some cakes and food that Imdonesians have known & believe are dutch, are actually german. E g. Kue Soes (Windbeutel), marble cake (Marmorkuchen), Semur (schmoren=process of slow cooking) is originated from Sauerbraten but in a sweet version from sweet soya sauce. Nastar was from Portuguese mini pie with pineapple or ananas. Fact is the Netherlands do not have own cuisines exvept few. The cuisine found there are mostly originated from other european countries plus from Indonesia & China

I like that they spun the whole 'Indonesians fleeing to the Netherlands' as this cutsely cross cultural thing, and glossed over how the Dutch treated the Indonesians for 350 years.

[@guusvangerrevink2484]

The Javan government is doing the exact same thing to west Papua right now as we did to Java. Any group of people that gets power becomes corrupted. As a Dutchman I am proud of my Dutch history.

Most Indonesian local people use barehand to eat Nasi Padang in Indonesia.

[@lainmahashima8211]

nah

[@zulfika_]

But they're not in Indonesia, so what's your point? People who complains on someone who eat food without hand is so annoying. Not everyone want their hand to be smelly after eating, even a lot my friend using plastic gloves when they eating barehand, i mean, what's the point of eating barehand if using glove? just use fkn spoon

[@trismonocandrakrisna5723]

As an Indonesian living in the Netherlands, I honestly find Rijsttafel awkward, unappetizing, and overpriced. Most Nasi Rames in the Netherlands is not authentic; it leans more toward a Warung Tegal concept, where you can choose what you want. For someone unfamiliar with the original, they might select whatever they think looks good, and suddenly it turns into something like Nasi Padang. That's my point-be cautious when labeling something as authentic, as our perspectives might differ.

[@Lividbuffalo]

[@wisnuandre2038]

right...

[@akbarazizulhakim5702]

Nasi rames is indeed exactly like nasi tegal, even here in indonesia. Rames=ramesti=you can choose what you want.

[@widhady]

mungkin rasa nya x yg dimaksud,bukan penyajianya..emg klo di indo kan warung pdg lebih berbumbu dibanding warteg

[@donaldpanjaitan4768]

I don't think Rijsttafel is marketed for Indonesians, it's meant to be for outsiders to introduce them to several Indonesian food in small portions so they could have a small taste of everything.

[@GhazwanMattoka]

Dont know why the Indonesian and Indian restaurants are too expensive in the Netherlands!? Do they mix gems with food?

[@Kuricang31]

There's just way too many taxes and permits that you need to fill in before opening a restaurant there hence its expensive. Very different from back home where all you need to do when opening a restaurant is know how to cook

[@GhazwanMattoka]

@@Kuricang31Well, you’re right! However, why are other cuisines cheaper?

[@KajiRider1997]

@@GhazwanMattoka Because importing stuff is also expensive was my first thought. But Suriname restaurants arent as expensive.

[@GhazwanMattoka]

⁠​⁠@@KajiRider1997Correct, Surinamese are not expensive. I think the reason Indo restaurants are expensive is that there are not many of them. Spices can easily be found in any grocery store inside the Netherlands. Simply, they are greedy and want to earn as much as possible

The rijst tafel is a derivation of nasi padang that was originated centuries ago in West Sumatra before the Dutch created rijst tafels in Indonesia and brought back to the Netherlands after they were kicked out of Indonesia in 1945 Check on google rijst tafels wikipedia and you will see the similarities and the history of rijst tafels In indonesia they dont have rijst tafels anymore because this is a symbol of colonialism of the Dutch Today the rijst tafels dissapear in Indonesia
