Peanut sauce or saté sauce is the best invention since the wheel. We Dutch put that stuff on everything. Next time also try also Surinamese, heavily influenced by Indonesian and Indian food with an African and South American indigenous twist. Match made in heaven.

That's what makes the Netherlands special, mostly asian food only Chinese, Japanese, etc that which pretty common everywhere. But they have Indonesian cuisine in every corner that became its own icon and signature even part of tourism, almost like Indian food in England.

The reason why Indonesian food tastes more authentic than other foreign cuisines in europe (e.g. indian food in the UK) is bc it was first brought over by Dutch-Indonesians, aka Indos, who repatriated to Holland after Indonesia's independence. Their families have been in the Dutch East Indies (colonial Indonesia) for generations and cook with the original recipes. So there was never really a "Dutch-ification" of Indonesian food, because it had always been authentic.

Indonesian food is really integraded in The Netherlands, especially in The Hague. I think almost every family in The Hague has ancestors who are Indonesian or Dutcheis who lived in Indonesia. The Hague is called "The widow of Indonesia"Because of the many Indonesian people, hitory an influence it has. Preparing Indonesian food at home is almost as comon as preparing Dutch food in The Hague.

I am Dutch and oh man, I'm 1.52 minutes into the video and my mouth is watering. Indonesian-Dutch food is so delicious. Why are you teasing me with this video?
Ich bin Niederländer und oh Mann, ich bin schon 1, 52 Minuten im Video und mir läuft das Wasser im Mund zusammen. Das indonesisch-niederländische Essen ist so lecker. Warum neckst du mich mit diesem Video?

You missed rijsttafel, a way of serving various selection of food in a single table. The practice is still common in Indonesia as “hidang”, especially in Padang restaurant. But here in the Netherlands, almost every Indonesian restaurant has rijsttafel as a choice. It consists of sate, tempe, rendang, gulai, bami, lodeh, you named it. I suggest to visit Warung Padang Lapek, a famous Indonesian restaurant in The Hague.

As an Indo-Dutch, it’s really nice to see how ingrained the Indonesian culture in the Netherlands.

As a German, i love the Netherlands soo much! ❤ Best neighbors ever

I live in Austria and I miss being able to get good Indonesian food, it is tradition we go out for Indonesian food if we are visiting my family in Amsterdam. You can recognize a good spekkoek by how thin the layers are. I have eaten spekkoek with 3 times the amount of layers in it and it is even more tasty. Also next time try some Surinamese food.
BTW the pronunciation of ou it is the same as au which is the same as in German.

My history teacher talked about Nazi Göring. With joking about seroius matters I always think about his lessons when I order an Indonesian meal.

[b.f.]

You guys missed the 'rijsttafel'. Since you live in Düsseldorf you should visit a traditional Indonesian restaurant and order a rice table. Lestari in Arnhem (1, 5 hour drive) is a good one. Make sure to get some Saté Kambing (goat meat)... the best!

[esd]

Ketoprak, black rendang padang and martabak manis are the best Indonesian dishes hands down!

[neuronmind]

For Indonesian food in the Hague, go to restaurant Bogor. They are awesome !

[WanBarmawi]

As an Indonesian living in the Netherlands, it’s funny so see a glass of cendol would cost 5 euro 😂

[BierdopjeNL]

I love the fact we have some really good "foreign" restaurants over here. As a dutch guy I don't like the reason why we happen to known all these far away countries and their people but it definitely changed our culture and our taste buds.

[NicoVeenkamp]

The Hague has the best Indonesian restaurants. While ar the beach you were close to Sarinande, which in my opinion is one of the best. Close to the center of The Hague is a small restaurant called Bogor. This one is THE best.

[jcgirl]

So much fun watching you enjoy Indonesian/ Dutch-Indonesian cuisine.
You just munched down a piece of spekkoek that supposes to feed 6 people, LOL. Usually we cut it in thin slices. It is that rich. Hope you had room for more.

[Estenberg]

I learned how to make Sambal Ulkek from an auntie. It's simple. Fry Chilis, garlic, and sugar into a paste.

[quietusplus]

When other countries say: "Chinese food", it's usually "Indo-chinese food" in the Netherlands. Examples: Nasi, Bami, Sate, Loempia. It's a heavily influenced cross between Chinese and Indonesian food. The history with Suriname as well, where a lot of those cultures are mixed in too

The Dutch call bean sprouts Tauge.

[daytona]

I live in The Hague so I see a lot of familiar places. The indonesian kitchen is great and original. The Chinese restaraunts not so much. They are really adapted to the Dutch taste and most of the food you eat there is not even available in restaurants in China. We never go to the beach, we go to Germany on vacation and we will got to Germany again in two weeks.

Dutch, German, Indonesian combination.

I love it.
