- I was so excited to visit The Netherlands and The Hague for the first time around the US Thanksgiving period in late November 2019. As an Asian person, I love rice and I love curries.
So when I heard about the idea of the Indonesian Rice Table (rijsttafel) in The Netherlands, I naturally wanted in. Indonesia was once a Dutch Colony, and while that is mostly a horrible thing for locals in Indonesia, one good thing that has come from that is all the amazing things that happen with food, fusion cooking, and appreciation for different delicacies of another culture.
So now a couple of centuries later, the Rijsttafel (Rice Table) is a super popular thing for modern Dutch people to eat with spouses, dates, groups of friends, or families. And awesomely, the spicier the better for many of them.
According to Wikipedia; Rijsttafel is an Indonesian elaborate meal adapted by the Dutch following the hidang presentation of nasi Padang from the Padang region of West Sumatra. It consists of many (forty is not an unusual number) side dishes served in small portions, accompanied by rice prepared in several different ways.
So we took a day trip to The Hague (most famous for things like the International Criminal Court for War Crimes) and had an amazing Rijstaffel at Garoeda Restaurant.
Kneuterdijk 18A, 2514 EN Den Haag, Netherlands
(Google Maps - g.page/Garoeda...)
What made it so delicious?
Well, you have to watch! But in summary, the many flavors, tastes, and spices make it an endless journey and delight.

Every year, I travel to the Netherlands, and I always set aside a time for a leisurely rijstael.
I also enjoy lager beer with the meal.
That's so nice! Thanks for watching! Enjoy your trip this year!
I am originally from Texas, and my mother made what I now know to be ristaffel, but would she called "curried chicken". How this dish traveled from the West Indies to the vast plains around Amarillo, Texas, is a mystery. But, it has become our families favorite birthday celebration dish. We always had chopped green scallions, crushed peanuts, toasted coconut, chopped tomatoes, Indian chutneys of several flavors, chopped fried bacon, chopped eggs were the whites were chopped together and the yolks put on top so that it look like a fried egg and a bowl, white rice, and simmered chicken breast shredded into a bright yellow curry powder flavored gravy. I know that my mother learned this dish from one of the other women in her circle, but I did not know that every family didn't eat it. Whenever we had company for one of us kids this would be the dish we would often prepare. It was so loved that it was the first dish I learned to cook, and now at age 66, I still make this several times a year for birthdays and other celebrations. I have since learned about how many side dishes there are actually available for this meal. Literally, you can find dozens of things to add at the table. The history of this meal is one of Dutch pride in the things that they achieved in the West Indies, and it is delicious. This particular meal the poster is eating looks even better than anything my mother ever thought to make. Thank you so much for sharing this! I think I'll go home and make it tonight!
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely story. I hope you made it!! It's quite a feast!
Thank you, this was really enjoyable 😊♥️
thank you so much for watching!
A lot of people like beef rendang, fried rice with fried eggs, chicken on skewers with peanut sauce. The saffron rice in Indonesia, we cook it with turmeric to get the orange or yellow color. Netherland also has a lot of Indonesians. Next time you should try nasi Padang (Sumatra), Ayam kalasan (East Java), bak mi Medan (Sumatra), es tèlèr, Soto betwixt (Jakarta) and menadonese food (South of Sulawisi cuisine)
Thank you so much for watching! We had most of the other dishes that you mentioned while on our Indonesia trip! We can’t wait to go back and eat more!!
@@YvonnemeetsFood Awesome! Where did you go in Indonesia if you don't mind me asking?
@@kartikaaranda5557 Jakarta, Jogja, and Bali! I have videos on my channel for them!!
@@YvonnemeetsFood That is awesome!
Fantastic video! I haven't been to The Netherlands yet, so this was enlightening!
Thanks so much! The food was SO GOOD!!
Im browsing want to know my traditional indonesia table setting. But im found this. Im even not realise , that my grandparents serving daily eat since child is rijstafle culture. Who mix culture between holland and indonesia. Thangks for the vlog.
Thanks so much for watching! I'm really happy this video helped you learn something about your roots!
Indonesian food is so exiting. Den Haag is a lovely City. Tot zeins
Yes, it was! Thank you for watching. :)
Indonesian rice table is imo the best food in the world!
Thanks so much for watching, Robert! It truly is one of the best meals in the world!
@@YvonnemeetsFood Luckily I am quite good at cooking it myself, I was a chef long ago... The fermented shrimp paste is called trassi and is a key ingredient! Smells like hell when you cook it, but tastes like heaven!
Robert Craane so many delicious things are like that, and they are usually the best!
@@YvonnemeetsFood My motto was, if it smells like shit it must taste good! As a chef or foodie I think you agree... the best tastes on earth smell terrible...
I agree that an Indonesian Rijs Tafel is delicious and can’t understand why it hasn’t caught on in the States, similarly to Thai and Indian food have.
Den Haag/ the Hague has the best Indonesian restaurants in Europe , rijst you pronounce as Rice-t..
haha - sorry, my pronunciation was terrible!
@@YvonnemeetsFood you should hear my pronouncing of Indonesian words ...lol I always mix m and ng on the end of words..
i think it is a turmeric rice instead of saffron, because we don’t use saffron in indonesian cooking, anyway really good video!
Thanks so much for watching and the correction! I think the server told us it was saffron, but turmeric definitely makes more sense given the region!
@@YvonnemeetsFood In the West turmeric is also known as Indian Saffron.
@@johnlay3040 what!!! is that really true? Turmeric and saffron have totally different aromas and flavor.
@@YvonnemeetsFood Yeah, but it's the colour that gives the name.
@@YvonnemeetsFood yes kunyit! :)
The only reason I would go to these areas would be for the Indonesian food. My mother was the greatest cook I had ever known and they way she cooked their food to me it is better than Thai or Cinese.
That’s OK: traveling for food is always a good idea!
The padang restaurant near the okd church is good
thanks for the tip!
Wondering.. is this the "old" Garoeda? Because it has been taken over. It's now Garuda, a posh, trendy, gastrobar.
food looks delicious
thank you for watching!
We wanted to impress our visitors with food, and brought back from indonesia, it was never indonesian, it is even dutch invention, and yes the spices are from indonesia so that it is combined from both countries
The yellow Reis is called, nasi koening, it's with kurkuma, not with Safran
thanks for your correction, and thank you for watching!
Thank you for doing this
thank you for watching!! hope you enjoyed.
@@YvonnemeetsFood A friend from the Netherlands told me about this. Imagine my surprise when my ex wife is Indonesian I can make most of that at a reasonable cost and enjoy sharing
You eat rice with a spoon sweetheart....but enjoy....Selamat Makan!
Thanks for watching! I’ll take your engagement, snarky and all. 😅
boontjes (bunces?)
love the food here!
You know whoooooooooo wowow
Thanks for watching! ❤️
Sambal-boontjes :)
yum!
Really liked your video. The dish (rijsttafel) though had some elements in it which should not be presented as they were (in my opinion). Overcooked long beans (Sambal Goreng Buncis) and way to much fat left on the beef (probably Rendang).... The Sayur Lodeh (the vegetables in coconutsauce) looks very poor to me (cheap ingredients).
As in many countries in Europe some restaurants entertain less and less customers so they have to cut back on good quality ingredients. There is simply no profit to be made when the original (high) standards are maintained.
Thanks so much for watching! I actually filmed this back in November 2019, but agree with your points about the beans being overcooked and the meat having too much fat! 😂
mcm nasi padang
Thanks for watching!!
That is not saffron rice. It's Nasi Kunyit or Tumeric rice.
Sorry, realized that mistake after the fact when another viewer commented on this!
It's called nasi kuning in Indonesian or (fragrant) yellow rice. It has indeed tumeric (kunyit in Indonesian) in it. I love nasi kuning too.
I love your yummy face :) you nod faster the more you like something!
Haha, thanks so much. I didn’t even notice that about myself! 😂😂
La traduccoon horrible
I love it💯👌🏾Food💙
Thx for watching!! 🤗🤗
@@YvonnemeetsFood you're welcome 😇💙💯🌞👊🏾
Eat the crackers with each rice bite
thanks for watching and great tip!
