Tatsächlich haben wir wohl kein indonesisches Restaurant in Düsseldorf,vor langer Zeit mal gab es einen.Aber ein par exotische Restaurants haben wir schon noch.Laotisch(Luang Prabang),peruanisch? auf der Ulmenstraße und koreanisch hat sich die letzten Jahre auch durchgesetzt,gibts bestimmt 10 allein in Düsseldorf.
The most beautiful beaches I ever been to are beaches on Caribbean islands and beaches in South Florida like Fort Lauderdale and Miami and Palm Beach. Turquoise blue Waters White Sands and palm trees.
The best beach I've ever seen is Ruby Beach in Washington state, a wild and untamed place with driftwood that confused my husband, "What is all this wood doing here?" But for sentiment, Rockaway Beach in Oregon where we had our family reunion every year. It's a lightly used beach where every 100 meters someone makes a fire and cooks on it while enjoying the sunset. We would grill oysters on our shared balconies and go catch crab and stuff the fridge full of them. I miss my home so much. If anyone knows of a place in Germany where I can go out on a little boat and catch my dinner, I'd love to know.
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.
@@LythaWausW Surinamese isn’t as wide spread as Indonesian restaurants but they are present in all the bigger cities. You will find an abundance of them in Amsterdam south east aka the Bijlmer.
That makes me hungry! I totally miss all those kinds food!!! Peanut sauce over Sate and rice is where it’s AT!!🙌🙌🙌😍,Soto Ayam too! My grandma makes the BEST Soto Ayam!!
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.
As Indonesian We consider the Netherlands to be our second home. Because we share food culture and language,We have a long history so we are no stranger to Dutch culture
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.
Yeah, we did have some history but i never will forget the hospitality i've got whilst visiting a large german festival years ago. We hadn't even setup our tents when some of our neighbors brought us (draft!!) beer on the campsite and invited us over. Ringrockers are awesome people, as goes for most germans!

Probably because of my German roots :-) Indonesian food is very popular in the Netherlands. Indeed, it has to do with colonial history. But The Hague is the place to eat Indonesian food. You will hardly find original Chinese here. There are only a few real Chinese restaurants in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. In March of year I am going to Berlin with my wife and daughter. I hope to eat some very real German Bratwurst there. Thuringian Bratwust is my favorite so far. And maybe I will also visit Jöllenbeck (near Bielefeld) the origin of my family :-)@@DeanaandPhil
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.
I feel like the Indonesians and Moluccans are most integrated of all the "foreigners". I don't see you guys as different, just Dutch with a different flavour. You have your own culture but adapt very well, not the same for all "foreigners".
@@BierdopjeNLAs an Indonesian,It seems like this is part of our culture,Respect and adapt to where we live, I also feel that in general Southeast Asian people are like this.
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.
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!
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.
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.
@@razaqrazaq2992 I am sorry for you, but many things in Indonesia is from China origin as is in all Asia so it is very possible that satay is from China. It is not specific Indonesian. But is as Indonesian as Patat Frites is Dutch. BTW.. many Japanese things come from China: like Bonzai en Zen Boedhism.
@@Roel_Scoot Chinese people don't know peanut sauce because peanut sauce is not familiar in Chinese food and culinary delights. Peanut sauce is a native Indonesian heritage. so many Indonesian foods use peanut sauce as a flavor enhancer such as 'Ketoprak, Gado Gado, Chicken Satay, Siomay, Batagor, Rujak Buah. "
@@quietusplus1221 i have friends Chinese chef and thailand chef, and they said peanut sauce is definitely from Indonesia, and that thailand chef said why Indonesian doesn't really abroad their food, because many of people known peanut sauce is Thai, and some Indonesian food is chinese, but originally from Indonesia, we steal from you. That's what he said😊
There seems to be some confusion. IN THE NETHERLANDS: Most restaurants/take-out marked as Chinese are actually a combination of Chinese and Indonesian food (Indo-chinese). You'll find both influences on the same menu (Indo: Nasi, Bami, Sate, Lumpia, Krupuk / Chinese: Egg foo young, Char siu, chop suey)
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.
I love Indonesian food, and i love my peanutsauce. But i guess, as a dutchie, i take it for granted. I didnt realise you dont have that many Indonesian options in Germany.
As an Indonesian ive always jokingly said that the reason Indonesian cuisine isnt as popular as thai or india cuisine is because the dutch keep and enjoy it for themselves 😂😂
@@harukrentz435candaan yang seperti masuk akal. Belanda adalah seperti gudang rempah rempah masakan Indonesia di eropa. Begitu berharga seperti berlian. Kenapa harus dibagi dengan negara tetangga ?? 😄😄😄
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.
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.
Welcome back🌞 Ohhh yes. I've been influenced by chinese and indonesian food so much, that i really don't like to eat any dutchdishes. You never know what type of weather we'll get here. According to the weatherforcast, this weekend is gonna be 24-25 degrees celsius and after that is a week full of rain and lower temperatures. Better suite up if you guys are still here then. Happy eating🌞
What you must try is the Surinamese-Javanese/Chinese cuisine. Suriname was once a Dutch colony in South America with Indian, Chinese and Javanese contract workers. There a fusion cuisine of Javanese, Chinese and Indian dishes emerged. After Suriname's independence, the Surinamese migrated to the Netherlands and so did their cuisine. In Amsterdam Chinatown you must visit Chinese cuisine. Did you know that Chinatown in Amsterdam was the first in mainland Europe since 1900? The Chinese restaurants serve authentic Chinese food that is not adapted to Dutch customers.
As an Indonesian, I ate mostly at Suriname restaurants while in Rotterdam last year. Just because all the food names are in Indonesian so I knew what I would be eating and tasted almost the same like foods in Indonesia. Probably less spicy than Indonesian food, but totally fine.
I am born in Scheveningen, Den Haag. I love it. You must go to Indonesian restaurant Bogor, van Swietenstraat , not the nicest to watch,but the nicest to eat
You missed everyone’s and the oldest Dutch indonesian fusion food sold by Chinese restaurants. “Babi Pangang”. Good with rice, nasi, bami and even on a burgerbun
Very nice video and good synergy between you two! There are number of other Indo-Dutch dishes in Indonesia that currently hard to find in the Netherlands such as Klappertaart (coconut tart) Ayam Kodok (Baked stuffed chicken) etc. "Peranakan" food in Indonesia has 3 different culture influence such as native Indonesian, Dutch (European/Portuguese) and Foreign Asians (Chinese, Indian, Arab etc). A sweet snack called "Dadar Gulung" for instance is spring roll shape with green color(from pandan leaf), a green pancake (panekkuk/Dutch) from Pandan leaf (Indonesian) filled with grated coconut with molten Palm sugar (Indonesian/javanese) folded like spring roll (the art of folding is Chinese). Taste very delish! Also that Klepon you ate is supposed to be not frozen and you have to eat them at once as it will burst in the mouth and that would taste even better! I do love this video and looking forward to your other culinary adventure.❤
So much fun recognizing my city! And getting some ideas for restaurants I haven't been yet! Scheveningen is always the most busy beach we have in The Hague (and mostly tourists..). Thank you for trying real Indonesian food and not the heavily influenced by other cuisines stuff. Please try Surinamese food as well, and when you do: don't forget the bara. It's something most of my friends not in the big cities haven't even heard about, but it is so GOOD
I’m Indonesian living in the Netherlands. Went to Kopi Kopi and I wasn’t happy with their food. Next time go to Warung Padang Lapek (also in the city centre of The Hague). An Indonesian authentic restaurant with their Padang (west Sumatera) food. DELISH !
It's unfortunate for us to hear that! But all good, since it all depends on your own particular taste ofcourse. And you're definitely right that there are enough other lovely, tasty Indonesian diners in the Hague!
@@kopikopithehague I do like Kopi Kopi (and Sayang, and Bumbu Jawa and Cendana and Palembang and Istana and so many more . As for Surinamese Jawa food I like Warung Mini and Djojo).,,,,,,
Lets not forget the Surinam influence.. The bread roll is an example.. Also the saotosoup.. it's from Indonesia went through Surinam and ended up in the Netherlands. You could also do a seperate video of the food in the Netherlands that came from Surinam, which has creole an Indonesian influences.. Try some Roti..
My dear friends!! Im dutch and is nice to see you guys making these video's ! Not only the Dutch video's but all your video's i love! So positive and with a good fibe! Keep it up! TIP: visit the city of Nijmegen, my city. Its 2000 years old.
a "bumbu " is a paste-blend of specific spices that is used as basis for many dishes. the coconut drink (cendol) is pronounced tjendol (I first typed "a" instead of "o" and was rightfully corrected! just a stupid older age mistake I think!)
@@Warren_is_yellow ah dear.. hello, if it is meant for me. I regard myself as Indo ( mixed blood) but yes Belanda probably also covers it (in a legal sense) though I am not belanda totok... (totok = white Dutch person)
Indeed, Phil, the pandan spekkoek is the best spekkoek. And you should not eat it like you guys did, biting off large chunks. The best way to eat it is by cutting the spekkoek from top to bottom in very thin slices (so perpendicular to the layers). And then eat it slice by slice. A good spekkoek is so full of flavour, that you should eat it bit by bit to keep enjoying it longer ;-).
Bumbu means a special mix of spices and Jawa is the island of Java in Indonesia. Many Indonesian dishes are made by making a paste of spices for a specific dish in a cobek and oelekan (special mortar and pestle) and fry this in a wadjan (wok) before adding other ingrediënts. You really got all the Indonesian food I like so much, even cendol and klepon,
You are so lucky. I had a Tante (aunt) in Amsterdam who made home made Spekkoek that was absolutely the best dessert I have ever had. Spek means "bacon" and it's called Spekkoek because when it's cut into sections the colors look like strips of bacon.
Nice fantasy. Actually it means spice cake. That's why D & P found spekkoek's taste to be so like Spekulatiusgewürz. It's also part of Moscovian Cakes mixes. Definitely eurasian food.
@@Needlestitch You may want to check your English to Dutch translation dictionary. The Dutch word for "spice" is "kruid". The Dutch word for "bacon" is "spek".
@@hellmuthschreefel9392 I get your point, but sadly needlestitch is correct. you can google it "spekkoek naam herkomst". It's also not originally really indonesian but actually a Dutch-Indies (Indische keuken) invention from the colonial era
@@Needlestitch In indonesian cuisine it is know as lapis legit (though it's actually not properly Indonesian but from the Dutch colonial times, invented by the Dutch Indies people, Indisch) or in English thousand layers cake
Germany did have many "colonies" temporarily but they had to give them back in 1945. Having a large sea coast the Netherlands developed huge trade routes via the East India company and in deed the Dutch Colonies were spread across the world. The influx of Indonesians began in the 60's where as in England it was from Hong Kong, and in Germany from Turkey as guest workers. This shows in the propensity of the types of restaurants in these countries.
The Nasi Putih looked very traditional just like in Indonesia. Love this Indonesian food tour!! It would be so exciting if you guys would do a Ramen tour at Takumi in Düsseldorf :)
You silly people. You missed the most iconic of all Indonesian dishes. Rijsttafel. A nearly unending parade of small plates all filled with different spicy-sticky-sweet Indonesian cuisine. All accompanied by rice, of course. With this dish, one gets a small taste of almost the entire Indonesian food experience.
I know someone who does Workshops specialized in tradional indonesian cuisine, And really close to the German border too! Maybe interesting for a video!
The Indonesian food is the best there is. I love living in the Netherlands. And Phil you were right…the pandan cake is the best. Normally you slice this spekkoek in very thin layers from the top to the bottom so that you have all the layers in one bite instead of just eating it like cake.
The Bami-Scheibe (Bamischijf) has been a staple of the German "Imbissbude" since I was a kid. You can find those in Düsseldorf as well. It might have come via The Netherlands a long time ago.
A Spekkoek is a very rich cake: 275 g wheat flower, 500 g butter, 500 g sugar and 10 eggs are mixed. Half is mixed with the spekkoek spices (colored layers) other half has no spices (light layers) and the thin layers are one by one baked in an medium warm oven on top of each other under supervision which is very labour intensive.

I'm Indonesian and i was really happy to eat gebraten nuddeln mit petej in Den Haag en another Indonesian restaurant in Rotterdam i remember it was called "Raya restaurant" i ate sate ayam op kip satej 😅 it was fun having my national food there in Nederland.
On your way back to Dusseldorf, you should defenitly visit the city of Maastricht! Realy good food, friendly people and an ancient city with fortifications. When you do visit, come on a Friday morning when there's a big market in the center of town with lot of Belgian and German visitors. Eat fries zuurvlees at Reitz, eat vlaai (pie) at the Bisschopsmolen, many local foods at Piek Potloed, visit the Vrijthof and Onze lieve Vrouwenplein. Park for free at Belvedere, and your in the city cnter after a 20 min. walk! Enjoy!
Meanwhile, in Indonesia there are more Japanese and Korean culinary delights than in the Netherlands. In Indonesia Dutch food does not exist and is not popular, only Japanese and Korean food in Indonesia is very popular, from cities to villages there are Korean and Japanese restaurants.
I am glad to see you like "our" food. Being the 2nd generation Indo (my parents the 1st generation in the late 40s) in The Netherlands, all the dishes you ate are what my Mother used to cook for us growing up. As the youngest, I am blessed that I had to stay with my Mom and help her in the kitchen. Now, living in the USA, I'm blessed again that I can get all the ingredients I need to cook that food and make a "Rice Table" for our friends. It's a lot of cooking, but seeing the "I'm in heaven" look on their faces makes it all worthwhile. It takes me about a week to make a rather large food serving with, of course, beef and chicken satay over charcoal, not briquettes, and with peanut sauce on the day of serving.
Rendang has been voted best dish ( worldwide US and Aus based magazine) best dish in the world several times. Many indonesian dishes regularly make the top ten in that anual election.
THe "C" in Indonesian (and thus their food as well) is pronounced as a "ch" as in the word "chuffed" for Cendol, toko cendana, pecel, etc. The Kue (you said Queue) is pronounced like "Query" without the "ry" and with a longer "e" sound.
You missed the nangka/jackfruit in the cendol :) We have many nice Indonesian restaurants in The Hague and you covered some of my favorites! For another time or anyone else interested, there's an official IndoFoodTour in The Hague with local guides ❤
For Dutch streetfood, you have to try Hema rookworst. It's a smoked sausage and you can find it at the store HEMA. It's very delicious snd flavorful. Just make sure you buy them 'cooked' ( or cook them at home).
Thank you so much for making these videos cuz our Herbsturlaub is still up in the air! Where shall we go next with our Wyndham membership? Also, I was feeling jealous of your food but then I went to the oven and pulled out the most amazing thing...I made Au Gratin Potatoes the first time and they are perfect. Kartoffel Phil would love them and they weren't hard to make, just they take forever to bake. But they are crispy brown on top and creamy cheesy below, omg I hate my low-carb diet right now.
I am from the Netherlands and I love all of your videos in and around here! Also, peanut butter in the Netherlands is not sweet haha. Maby you should try to eat peanut butter like we "Dutchies" do, on bread of course 🤗 keep up the good work guys!!🫶🏻
I'm from the US and peanut butter isn't supposed to be sweet, but Americans are addicted to sweets so now it is becoming sweet. I only bought peanut butter with no sugar in the US.
rijsttafel haha, it was invented by the dutch, showing off their dishes made by slaves. Kind of fuck up.... but yeh. Glad something posetive came out of it, tastes great.
Phill checking himself out at 18:04 was my first LOL of the day! Also did Diana’s accent get way heavier all of sudden as she saw the Beech?! 😂 You two are adorable
As indonesian, living in indonesia i really would like to try some of those foods, it look interesting. It'll be interesting if someone can bring them to sell here
I would have loved to hear you pronounce Scheveningen (the place where the beach is) or 's-Gravenhage (alternate more old fashioned name for Den Haag) Prijs-kwaliteitsverhouding pronounciation was pretty good 👍
Hello good morning, I really like watching this video from beginning to end. It turns out that many people like Indonesian food. KLEPON is indeed delicious. All the reviews are delicious, es cendol gado-gado etc.
Phil and Deana, just a kind advice... When you read Indonesian, anything with C, even if it's written in the front, middle or back, it is not "s", but the kind of like when you say "church/Chalk/Chuck/chirp/challenge".
Nice to hear that you like Indonesian food. But as Indonesian living here, i wish somebody open authentic Indonesian restaurants/ desserts shops. I have been here for more 20 years, never found one. 😞
Indonesian food is really good and very well integrated in the Netherlands. Satesauce is used with everything with Fries, Potatos, any Meat you name it.
Al the China restaurants in the Netherlands the are also Indonesian Foods because we like Indonesian Food and for me I have been to China and Indonesia But the food that you here get Its Indonesian from the China restaurants
You should try some Suriname food that's from Suriname Paramaribo my family are from their and that's also really good like saouto soup or like nasi goreng all different kind of choices like broodje kerrie kip (bread curry chicken) I grew up eating it.
Which came via Netherlands. Like other Indonesian things like sambel oelek.. Even in Germany and in Belgium the Chinese restaurants have influence from the Dutch-Indonesian kitchen, they have Babi pangang and Lumpia on the menu and other things. Pretty amazing.
@00:58 When made well, rendang is a piece of art. In my opinion thé best Indonesian dish, just rice, rendang, kroepoekk and some fresh sambal trassi or sambal baloujak!👴👌🤗 @10:09 You might know these as prawn chips, but actually it are kroepoek chips. Originally kroepoek is made in "leaves", 15-20 cm wide and 40 cm or more long goodness.👴👌🤗 @12:20 Sambal Oelek is for use in cooking. The mistake many make is to use it on a ready made dish. There are many far more suitable kinds of sambal to use as a side dish. Just like this one.👴😉

But is as Indonesian as Patat Frites is Dutch. BTW.. many Japanese things come from China: like Bonzai en Zen Boedhism.
@@Roel_Scoot Chinese people don't know peanut sauce because peanut sauce is not familiar in Chinese food and culinary delights. Peanut sauce is a native Indonesian heritage.
so many Indonesian foods use peanut sauce as a flavor enhancer such as 'Ketoprak, Gado Gado, Chicken Satay, Siomay, Batagor, Rujak Buah. "
@@quietusplus1221 i have friends Chinese chef and thailand chef, and they said peanut sauce is definitely from Indonesia, and that thailand chef said why Indonesian doesn't really abroad their food, because many of people known peanut sauce is Thai, and some Indonesian food is chinese, but originally from Indonesia, we steal from you. That's what he said😊
There seems to be some confusion. IN THE NETHERLANDS: Most restaurants/take-out marked as Chinese are actually a combination of Chinese and Indonesian food (Indo-chinese). You'll find both influences on the same menu (Indo: Nasi, Bami, Sate, Lumpia, Krupuk / Chinese: Egg foo young, Char siu, chop suey)
I learned how to make Sambal Ulkek from an auntie. It's simple. Fry Chilis, garlic, and sugar into a paste.
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.
I love Indonesian food, and i love my peanutsauce. But i guess, as a dutchie, i take it for granted. I didnt realise you dont have that many Indonesian options in Germany.
As an Indonesian ive always jokingly said that the reason Indonesian cuisine isnt as popular as thai or india cuisine is because the dutch keep and enjoy it for themselves 😂😂

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.
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.
Dutch, German, Indonesian combination.
I love it.
Welcome back🌞
Ohhh yes. I've been influenced by chinese and indonesian food so much, that i really don't like to eat any dutchdishes.
You never know what type of weather we'll get here. According to the weatherforcast, this weekend is gonna be 24-25 degrees celsius and after that is a week full of rain and lower temperatures. Better suite up if you guys are still here then.
Happy eating🌞
The Gado-Gado is Legit. The peanut sauce looks GoooooD...
What you must try is the Surinamese-Javanese/Chinese cuisine. Suriname was once a Dutch colony in South America with Indian, Chinese and Javanese contract workers. There a fusion cuisine of Javanese, Chinese and Indian dishes emerged. After Suriname's independence, the Surinamese migrated to the Netherlands and so did their cuisine.
In Amsterdam Chinatown you must visit Chinese cuisine. Did you know that Chinatown in Amsterdam was the first in mainland Europe since 1900? The Chinese restaurants serve authentic Chinese food that is not adapted to Dutch customers.
Inderdaad, het eten en de mensen zijn met elkaar verbonden.
must be chineses imported from indonesia haha.
As an Indonesian, I ate mostly at Suriname restaurants while in Rotterdam last year. Just because all the food names are in Indonesian so I knew what I would be eating and tasted almost the same like foods in Indonesia. Probably less spicy than Indonesian food, but totally fine.
I am born in Scheveningen, Den Haag. I love it. You must go to Indonesian restaurant Bogor, van Swietenstraat , not the nicest to watch,but the nicest to eat
You missed everyone’s and the oldest Dutch indonesian fusion food sold by Chinese restaurants. “Babi Pangang”. Good with rice, nasi, bami and even on a burgerbun
Very nice video and good synergy between you two! There are number of other Indo-Dutch dishes in Indonesia that currently hard to find in the Netherlands such as Klappertaart (coconut tart) Ayam Kodok (Baked stuffed chicken) etc. "Peranakan" food in Indonesia has 3 different culture influence such as native Indonesian, Dutch (European/Portuguese) and Foreign Asians (Chinese, Indian, Arab etc). A sweet snack called "Dadar Gulung" for instance is spring roll shape with green color(from pandan leaf), a green pancake (panekkuk/Dutch) from Pandan leaf (Indonesian) filled with grated coconut with molten Palm sugar (Indonesian/javanese) folded like spring roll (the art of folding is Chinese). Taste very delish! Also that Klepon you ate is supposed to be not frozen and you have to eat them at once as it will burst in the mouth and that would taste even better! I do love this video and looking forward to your other culinary adventure.❤
So much fun recognizing my city! And getting some ideas for restaurants I haven't been yet! Scheveningen is always the most busy beach we have in The Hague (and mostly tourists..). Thank you for trying real Indonesian food and not the heavily influenced by other cuisines stuff. Please try Surinamese food as well, and when you do: don't forget the bara. It's something most of my friends not in the big cities haven't even heard about, but it is so GOOD
I’m Indonesian living in the Netherlands. Went to Kopi Kopi and I wasn’t happy with their food. Next time go to Warung Padang Lapek (also in the city centre of The Hague). An Indonesian authentic restaurant with their Padang (west Sumatera) food. DELISH !
It's unfortunate for us to hear that! But all good, since it all depends on your own particular taste ofcourse. And you're definitely right that there are enough other lovely, tasty Indonesian diners in the Hague!
Would love to try the next time I visit The Hague
Warung Padang Lapek is good but the service is downright rude.
@@kopikopithehague I do like Kopi Kopi (and Sayang, and Bumbu Jawa and Cendana and Palembang and Istana and so many more . As for Surinamese Jawa food I like Warung Mini and Djojo).,,,,,,
Yesss to all of them! Djojo is right in front of my door ❤
Thanks for the positive reviews of our country 🥰 you two are adorable.
Lets not forget the Surinam influence.. The bread roll is an example.. Also the saotosoup.. it's from Indonesia went through Surinam and ended up in the Netherlands. You could also do a seperate video of the food in the Netherlands that came from Surinam, which has creole an Indonesian influences.. Try some Roti..
Roti came from India originally, it means "bread"...
My dear friends!! Im dutch and is nice to see you guys making these video's ! Not only the Dutch video's but all your video's i love! So positive and with a good fibe! Keep it up!
TIP: visit the city of Nijmegen, my city.
Its 2000 years old.
Oh, everything look so good! I love the indonisian and also dutch....!! yummy!!!
a "bumbu " is a paste-blend of specific spices that is used as basis for many dishes. the coconut drink (cendol) is pronounced tjendol (I first typed "a" instead of "o" and was rightfully corrected! just a stupid older age mistake I think!)
Sounds similar to curry
@@coyotelong4349 yes, I'd say that's correct assuming you refer to the curry from India? it's the same for Indonesian curry, Thai curry and so on.
Hello Belanda 👋
@@Warren_is_yellow ah dear.. hello, if it is meant for me. I regard myself as Indo ( mixed blood) but yes Belanda probably also covers it (in a legal sense) though I am not belanda totok... (totok = white Dutch person)
Bumbu /boemboe just means spices (kruiden). So far I know it's Cendol (tjendol) with an "o" and not an "a"
Looks delicious! Though I'll never understand the paper straw but plastic cup concept 🤨 I'm definitely trying some Indonesian food next
Every time you're in The Netherlands talking about Dutch Food or food you can buy you are so enthusiastic, it just gets me every time guys!
OMG YOU GUYS WERE HERE??!
I'd have loved to come shake hands and hang out. Enjoy the sights!
In Den Haag (The Hague) you have to eat at Fat Kee! It's a very good and populair Chinese restaurant in Den Haag 🤤
or full moon, best dimsum restaurants outside asia :)
Great introduction to Dutch-Indonesian food or Indisch eten as we call it.
Indeed, Phil, the pandan spekkoek is the best spekkoek. And you should not eat it like you guys did, biting off large chunks. The best way to eat it is by cutting the spekkoek from top to bottom in very thin slices (so perpendicular to the layers). And then eat it slice by slice. A good spekkoek is so full of flavour, that you should eat it bit by bit to keep enjoying it longer ;-).
Welcome to Holland, a country full of delicious food, terimakasih Deana dan Phil see you next time 👍👍🤗🙏 19:06
I like Holland bakery
Bumbu means a special mix of spices and Jawa is the island of Java in Indonesia. Many Indonesian dishes are made by making a paste of spices for a specific dish in a cobek and oelekan (special mortar and pestle) and fry this in a wadjan (wok) before adding other ingrediënts. You really got all the Indonesian food I like so much, even cendol and klepon,
You are so lucky. I had a Tante (aunt) in Amsterdam who made home made Spekkoek that was absolutely the best dessert I have ever had. Spek means "bacon" and it's called Spekkoek because when it's cut into sections the colors look like strips of bacon.
Nice fantasy.
Actually it means spice cake. That's why D & P found spekkoek's taste to be so like Spekulatiusgewürz. It's also part of Moscovian Cakes mixes. Definitely eurasian food.
@@Needlestitch You may want to check your English to Dutch translation dictionary. The Dutch word for "spice" is "kruid". The Dutch word for "bacon" is "spek".
@@hellmuthschreefel9392 I get your point, but sadly needlestitch is correct. you can google it "spekkoek naam herkomst". It's also not originally really indonesian but actually a Dutch-Indies (Indische keuken) invention from the colonial era
@@Needlestitch In indonesian cuisine it is know as lapis legit (though it's actually not properly Indonesian but from the Dutch colonial times, invented by the Dutch Indies people, Indisch) or in English thousand layers cake
@@SuperPassionflower I already know all of this, because of my colonial descent, (indisch) but thanks for info.
Dutch -Indonesian food is so good
Germany did have many "colonies" temporarily but they had to give them back in 1945. Having a large sea coast the Netherlands developed huge trade routes via the East India company and in deed the Dutch Colonies were spread across the world. The influx of Indonesians began in the 60's where as in England it was from Hong Kong, and in Germany from Turkey as guest workers.
This shows in the propensity of the types of restaurants in these countries.
The Nasi Putih looked very traditional just like in Indonesia. Love this Indonesian food tour!! It would be so exciting if you guys would do a Ramen tour at Takumi in Düsseldorf :)
I’m guessing putih means white, it’s also somewhat of an Asian (Filipino at least) slang for ‘white person’ …
@@irbaboon1979 True.. Nasi Putih is just plain white rice. Nasi Kuning = yellow rice, Nasi goreng = fried rice
@@AmazingOracleThird72 nasi goreng sate ayam 🥰
Asian food in Germany??! 😂
Welcome back in the Netherlands!!
Thanks for the restaurant tips!
You silly people. You missed the most iconic of all Indonesian dishes. Rijsttafel. A nearly unending parade of small plates all filled with different spicy-sticky-sweet Indonesian cuisine. All accompanied by rice, of course. With this dish, one gets a small taste of almost the entire Indonesian food experience.
I am indonesian who is living in Germany . I drive often to netherland just to go to indonesian restaurent🥰🥰🥰🥰.enjoy😊
Hi Guys enjoy your weekend.
Hi 👋🏻
Thanks! You tooo!
I know someone who does Workshops specialized in tradional indonesian cuisine, And really close to the German border too! Maybe interesting for a video!
The Indonesian food is the best there is. I love living in the Netherlands. And Phil you were right…the pandan cake is the best. Normally you slice this spekkoek in very thin layers from the top to the bottom so that you have all the layers in one bite instead of just eating it like cake.

The Bami-Scheibe (Bamischijf) has been a staple of the German "Imbissbude" since I was a kid. You can find those in Düsseldorf as well. It might have come via The Netherlands a long time ago.
She's having the nasi-schijf though. Nasi is rice, bami is noodles.
Spekkoek takes quit a while to make, and is normally served in very thin sliced..
but enjoy
A Spekkoek is a very rich cake: 275 g wheat flower, 500 g butter, 500 g sugar and 10 eggs are mixed. Half is mixed with the spekkoek spices (colored layers) other half has no spices (light layers) and the thin layers are one by one baked in an medium warm oven on top of each other under supervision which is very labour intensive.

I'm Indonesian and i was really happy to eat gebraten nuddeln mit petej in Den Haag en another Indonesian restaurant in Rotterdam i remember it was called "Raya restaurant" i ate sate ayam op kip satej 😅 it was fun having my national food there in Nederland.
On your way back to Dusseldorf, you should defenitly visit the city of Maastricht! Realy good food, friendly people and an ancient city with fortifications. When you do visit, come on a Friday morning when there's a big market in the center of town with lot of Belgian and German visitors. Eat fries zuurvlees at Reitz, eat vlaai (pie) at the Bisschopsmolen, many local foods at Piek Potloed, visit the Vrijthof and Onze lieve Vrouwenplein. Park for free at Belvedere, and your in the city cnter after a 20 min. walk! Enjoy!
Meanwhile, in Indonesia there are more Japanese and Korean culinary delights than in the Netherlands. In Indonesia Dutch food does not exist and is not popular, only Japanese and Korean food in Indonesia is very popular, from cities to villages there are Korean and Japanese restaurants.
My hometown The Hague has the best Indonesian food ❤
Uh, I think I know a few cities in Indonesia that might have better......... ;-)
@@DavidKearns4 So which cities then?
@@TheErichos all of them?
@@DavidKearns4 you said a few, name them
@@TheErichos guess you missed my point. No worries.
I am glad to see you like "our" food. Being the 2nd generation Indo (my parents the 1st generation in the late 40s) in The Netherlands, all the dishes you ate are what my Mother used to cook for us growing up. As the youngest, I am blessed that I had to stay with my Mom and help her in the kitchen. Now, living in the USA, I'm blessed again that I can get all the ingredients I need to cook that food and make a "Rice Table" for our friends.
It's a lot of cooking, but seeing the "I'm in heaven" look on their faces makes it all worthwhile. It takes me about a week to make a rather large food serving with, of course, beef and chicken satay over charcoal, not briquettes, and with peanut sauce on the day of serving.
I just found your channel, and I was amazed with your pronunciation of Indonesian words. Bagus !👍🏻
That beef sandwich looks very delicious. I would buy that often if I lived there.
Beef Rendang is very good, easy to make too, especially with Rendang paste sold in many stores in the Netherlands :)
Its not really hard to make yourself either. Just takes 3 hours or more to simmer.
4+@@charlottexoxo8588
Surinaams is also part of dutch culture
Rendang has been voted best dish ( worldwide US and Aus based magazine) best dish in the world several times. Many indonesian dishes regularly make the top ten in that anual election.
The "vending machine" is actually called an automat. We used to have them here in America, but not so much anymore.
@delta5297 it's a vending machine here in Europe. The world doesn't revolve around America.
My mom and I love pisang gorang which is baked banana🤤
Fried banana and perkedel with risoles with coffee luwak
THe "C" in Indonesian (and thus their food as well) is pronounced as a "ch" as in the word "chuffed" for Cendol, toko cendana, pecel, etc.
The Kue (you said Queue) is pronounced like "Query" without the "ry" and with a longer "e" sound.
That would phonetically sound like “kui” cause I read query as “kuiri”
You missed the nangka/jackfruit in the cendol :) We have many nice Indonesian restaurants in The Hague and you covered some of my favorites! For another time or anyone else interested, there's an official IndoFoodTour in The Hague with local guides ❤
For Dutch streetfood, you have to try Hema rookworst. It's a smoked sausage and you can find it at the store HEMA. It's very delicious snd flavorful.
Just make sure you buy them 'cooked' ( or cook them at home).
Seeing you guys eat makes me very hungry, Indonesian food is very delicious
Thank you so much for making these videos cuz our Herbsturlaub is still up in the air! Where shall we go next with our Wyndham membership? Also, I was feeling jealous of your food but then I went to the oven and pulled out the most amazing thing...I made Au Gratin Potatoes the first time and they are perfect. Kartoffel Phil would love them and they weren't hard to make, just they take forever to bake. But they are crispy brown on top and creamy cheesy below, omg I hate my low-carb diet right now.
Yes, rijsttafel, in a real indonesian restaurant. That is soooo gooood! You get rice with all kinds of dishes, a table full. I love it!
Love your channel! Y’all are awesome 😎!! Cute couple.
Just for information. In indonesia, Starbuck's salted caramel macchiato is equal to 7 servings of Cendol beverage drinks.
As an Indonesian I find this super interesting! it's so cool to see how Indonesian food evolve in different countries. Great video!
I am from the Netherlands and I love all of your videos in and around here! Also, peanut butter in the Netherlands is not sweet haha. Maby you should try to eat peanut butter like we "Dutchies" do, on bread of course 🤗 keep up the good work guys!!🫶🏻
I'm from the US and peanut butter isn't supposed to be sweet, but Americans are addicted to sweets so now it is becoming sweet. I only bought peanut butter with no sugar in the US.
Food Evening
Gado-gado is Indonesian salad
You can eat gado-gado together with white rice.
Everything in the Netherlands is AMAZING. Particularly Art Museums and RIZ TAFEL.
rijsttafel haha, it was invented by the dutch, showing off their dishes made by slaves. Kind of fuck up.... but yeh. Glad something posetive came out of it, tastes great.
Phill checking himself out at 18:04 was my first LOL of the day! Also did Diana’s accent get way heavier all of sudden as she saw the Beech?! 😂 You two are adorable
As indonesian, living in indonesia i really would like to try some of those foods, it look interesting. It'll be interesting if someone can bring them to sell here
I would definitely recommend surinamese food (which is the best in the hague!!)
Intersting video cheers ❤
Ur energy and charisma is great x 😊 🇬🇧
I would have loved to hear you pronounce Scheveningen (the place where the beach is) or 's-Gravenhage (alternate more old fashioned name for Den Haag)
Prijs-kwaliteitsverhouding pronounciation was pretty good 👍
The Hague or Den Haag is official named s'Gravenhage. Try to say that or Scheveningen.
So bad that you did not try the "Loempia"! With some sambal on top of it it will you give the ultimate foodtaste!
Loempia is not bad at all. It’s one of my favourite snacks. But it’s called an Vietnamees Loempia. This episode was for indonesian flavours.
2:35 the best fusion of The Netherlands and Indonesia is putting the Rendang on top of fries
Wth, seriously? But who am I to judge, McDonalds here in Indonesia released their rendang burger. Lol.
Hello good morning, I really like watching this video from beginning to end. It turns out that many people like Indonesian food. KLEPON is indeed delicious. All the reviews are delicious, es cendol gado-gado etc.
Hi! Im from the Netherlands, I love watching your videos;)
Phil and Deana, just a kind advice... When you read Indonesian, anything with C, even if it's written in the front, middle or back, it is not "s", but the kind of like when you say "church/Chalk/Chuck/chirp/challenge".
Nice to hear that you like Indonesian food. But as Indonesian living here, i wish somebody open authentic Indonesian restaurants/ desserts shops. I have been here for more 20 years, never found one. 😞
My mother used to make spek koek using other colours . Green, pink, yellow, brown and white.
Indonesian food is really good and very well integrated in the Netherlands. Satesauce is used with everything with Fries, Potatos, any Meat you name it.
Al the China restaurants in the Netherlands the are also Indonesian Foods because we like Indonesian Food and for me
I have been to China and Indonesia
But the food that you here get
Its Indonesian from the China restaurants
The Hague, Den Haag... aka 's-Gravenhage ( well known tongue twister, hahaha). Satekroket one of my favorites best a bit of sambal.
You should try some Suriname food that's from Suriname Paramaribo my family are from their and that's also really good like saouto soup or like nasi goreng all different kind of choices like broodje kerrie kip (bread curry chicken) I grew up eating it.
The spices used for speculaas or spekulatius in German all came from Indonesia originally
Which came via Netherlands. Like other Indonesian things like sambel oelek.. Even in Germany and in Belgium the Chinese restaurants have influence from the Dutch-Indonesian kitchen, they have Babi pangang and Lumpia on the menu and other things. Pretty amazing.
Klepon usually soft
and there's "Explosive" palm sugar when you bite it
thats why i always ate it on 1 bite only
so the flavour blend with the coconut
i love you guys sm these food videos are so fun to watch and always make my day
Mangosteen juice? Oh wow they have it there.. I mean Im Indonesian we ate alot of that here but not in juice.interesting
@00:58 When made well, rendang is a piece of art. In my opinion thé best Indonesian dish, just rice, rendang, kroepoekk and some fresh sambal trassi or sambal baloujak!👴👌🤗
@10:09 You might know these as prawn chips, but actually it are kroepoek chips. Originally kroepoek is made in "leaves", 15-20 cm wide and 40 cm or more long goodness.👴👌🤗
@12:20 Sambal Oelek is for use in cooking. The mistake many make is to use it on a ready made dish.
There are many far more suitable kinds of sambal to use as a side dish. Just like this one.👴😉
