AMSTERDAM FOOD TOUR | Trying out INDONESIAN and SURINAMESE FOOD!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2024
- We've had our fair share of Dutch food in Amsterdam but we thought it was time to highlight and try out two incredibly popular cuisines in the city that have quite deep and dark ties to Dutch colonial history. We are of course trying Indonesian and Surinamese food in Amsterdam. The Dutch empire stretched across the globe and as a result of that, a sizeable diaspora from both countries have made their way into Amsterdam, opening restaurants of their home cuisines.
So in this video, we check out Albina in De Pijp for an epic Surinamese feast, and Desa to try the famous Indonesia rijsttafel (rice table)! We even have a few cheeky Dutch street food bites along the way!
Enjoy!

4:05 - I'm sorry modern art fans I couldn't resist 😂
A real patje oorlog also has curry on it. Thats a red sauce. But i Amsterdam region,they do not use that.
@@baskkev7459 I think it's a regional thing; 'with curry' to the south; 'without' in middle and north.
Don't be. That is not art, that is called money laundering.
Moksi meti means "mixed meat". You can have it with rice or noodles and usually consists of bbq pork belly, cha sieuw, bbq chicken or duck and chinese sausages.
For the rijst table experience I would recommend Tujuh Maret in the Utrechtsestraat for any new comer to Indonesian food. The presentation of the dishes is from mild to medium to spicy. They serve a small 24 veggie and meat dishes and it is more than enough to serve 3 people. There is a smaller version with a smaller number of dishes with only two spiciness levels. There is also a veggie rijst table. Minum is for two persons to order.
7:24 Sambal Piccalilli. This sambal has a fresh, sweet and sour taste, but at the same time is very spicy due to the addition of Madame Jeanette peppers. In addition to Madame Jeanette peppers, the sambal also contains vegetables, onions, garlic, mustard and vinegar.
8:20 Moksi meti is a popular Surinamese-Chinese meat dish - both in the country itself and in the Netherlands. It literally means mixed (moksi) meat (meti) and consists of roasted chicken, two kinds of roasted pork and/or sausage (fachong). Moksi meti is usually served with noodles or rice
Very useful info thank you!!!
I thought it was birambi chutney lol
Thank you. Love your videos. Keep it coming.
Appreciate the love 🥰🥰🥰
i learned so much about dutch and indonesian history from this one! I like that you show not just the main things to eat, but the ethnic food that the locals eat that is literally due to the fusion of cultures. I can really only thing of Rick Steves mentioning indonesian food but you guys really gave us the show of variety :) I also now have the goal of trying flat whites in new zealand lol
Glad you learned something!! We definitely loved learning about these histories especially while we were in the Rijksmuseum. Thanks so much and yes it's so easy to find a great coffee here in NZ and hope you get to try it one day!!
Daging Rendang is one of my favourite dishes in the world!
I really like that you tried Surinamese and Indonesian food. Dutchies love those cuisines
Haha we couldn't miss out on it!!! Daging Rendang is sooo addicting 😆
Sate with peanutsauce is like one of the unofficial national dishes of The Netherlands. Its everywhere, so not just in Surnamese or Indonesian places. Most snackbars (diner style cheal fried food places) , lunch cafe's and casual restaurants and so forth have it on the menu. Its usually eaten with fries instead of rice with of course plenty of mayo. All supermarkets have pre-coocked versions of it, either frozen or in TV dinner style microwave meals, although those are obviously not the best, but just to show you how omnipresent this dish is in the country.
Oh interesting!! No wonder we were seeing it a lot in non-Indonesian/Surinamese places!
@@locavore_eats Yeah, its just very tasty. That has everything to do with the... well... terrible actual Dutch cuisine. Part of it has to do with the Protestant religion that teaches that food is not there to enjoy but to provide nutrition. On top of this the reality is that most girls in the 19th century enjoyed education in the many "housekeeping" schools. These schools all had the same cooking lessons from the same book which taught them to cook healthy, seasonal and cheap which resulted in a very bland cuisine. Avoid Dutch food at all costs because it comes down to boiled potatoes, boiled vegetables and if you are lucky perhaps a meatball. All the actual good Dutch food comes from the colonies.
Really enjoy your videos! Great mix of food and sights, would love to see what mom and dad think of the food
Thank you!! We're sure to include more mum and dad cameos next time!!
I am from Suriname, glad you tried some Surinamese dishes..
We loved it so much! Can't wait to try more 😇
I love the tasty Suriname food. Omg yummy ❤
One of the best meals we had in Amsterdam!!
Bami moksi meti is my all time favourite, Desa is food heaven now I'm hungry........
Great video. I am going to visit the Netherlands in a couple of weeks myself too. Haven't been there in more than 17 years I'm so looking forward to the trip. As a Surinam Javanese descendant myself i was amused to see you ate the surinam chinese dishes mixing the piccalilly sause with chilly jam on them. I used usually used piccalilly sauce with Surinam blood sausage (bloedworst). Thanks for the great watch.
Thanks for watching!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Hahaha we didn't really know what sauce combos to do so we just ended up doing whatever 😆😆
Visting AMS soon so thank you so much for the food recs!
Hope you enjoy Amsterdam!!!
I love your videos ❤, and forgot to mention, scarf your sister is wearing is really pretty, she has style ❤
Thank you so much!! Haha yeah she loves that scarf 😆 Kept her very warm for sure!
When it comes to rijsttafel, I recommend Warung Padang Lapek in The Hague, they served THE BEST rijsttafel in the Netherlands! Me and my friends always go there every time we’re craving for Indonesian food.
Btw, rijsttafel is still common in Indonesia as “hidang”, usually it’s served in Padang restaurant and in special events such as wedding or celebrations.
Moksi Meti is easy to translate from English. Moksi means "mixed" and Meti = "Meat". mostly its chicken and pork. but you could put other meat in as well if you like. Duck for example
My favourite ajam dish is the Ajam Batawi, next time try it.
Thank you both 4 letting me know about my Maori side.😮
My fave Filo brother and sister duo!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
The Rijks Museum was actualy build for one painting in general , The Night watch by Rembrand van Rijn .
Ooh didn't know that!! It definitely warrants that treatment for such a grand painting 🧐
@@locavore_eats Its considered the personification of the netherlands .
On the traditional food there are cookbools of that era , called the verstandigen Keukenmeid , ( The Wise kitchenmaid) Using ingredients and foods in a practical manor. and in budget ./ of the 17th century.
I am dutch always eat rice with a spoon and fork. Never got the knife 😅 food looks goooood.
My dutch friends always eat with fork and knife when I cook indonesian/moluccan food. Sometime I tell them just eat with your hands like they still do in the Moluccans.
Eating with your hands reigns supreme 😤
If you’re in the Netherlands it won’t be maple syrup but apple syrup.
If we would eat with a spoon we only would use the spoon.
Good choice. Albina is my favorite surinamese restaurant and I have tried many many many in the Netherlands. (although it was a little better 20 years ago) Piccalilly is my go to when eating moksi meti with tjauwmin. Roti is best with lamb. Drink with Dawet or pineapple fernandes. Bojo as desert. But good to see you got to eat some great food.
Thanks! Our meal at Albina was incredible 😤Will definitely try the stuff you mentioned next time!
If you eat roti at Albina you don't know anything about good roti 😀
@GavinHewitt I've eaten roti in over 200 shops and home-made Hindustan/Surinam people. I know what I like. 👍
6:15 If I'm not mistaken baka bana is inspired by pisang goreng, yes. Which is also fried banan, but not necessirely in peanut sauce. Instead you usually get it with sweet sour sauce. And the banana itself is different. Also, peanutsauce is Indonesian, yes. But also very Dutch. We eat it on fries (or chips, if you Bri'ish) for example.
12:55 See? A good example of peanutsauce on fries. We call it Friet Oorlog, Translates as Fries War. Don't ask why, we don't know either. It's just how it is. Patat Frites à la Guerre :)
20:58 I totally agree. I know my familymates don't get it, but I do. Who's the crazy one, ey? :)
Very useful insights!! We are counting on you to convert your family mates to the ways of the spoon and fork 😄😄😄
Patatje Oorlog, de oorlog vindt plaats in de maag en darmstelsel..
That roti is so Caribbean namely Trinidad and Tobago right down to the chicken and other stuff that came with it.
Is cabage with the roti typical for Trinidad? Because I never get it at the Surinamese restaurants where I order my roti.
As a Dutch man, I prefer the roti chicken filet, instead of chicken on the bone
Hi guys 😂❤❤❤. Oh loved your breakfast in da morning . 😅 New Zealand maori cafe . Alsome . ❤🎉🎉. Well love food in indonesia n surdaness meal 😅. Look yum. Enjoy your travels keep safe kiwi 😅. 🎉🎉. Amazing art works their famous painting "Night Watchman,,'.
Hello!!! Appreciate the love on our video 🥰🥰🥰
dutch food is kroket,fries,pannekoek etc
The Indian Hindu's, the Javanese and the Chinese came to Suriname after slavery, that's also why they could bring more to the Surinamese cuisine than the Africans.
My favorite Indonesian restaurant there is Warung Barokah in Amsterdam, LOVE IT! The Javanese food is legit 💯
Must try that next time we visit Amsterdam!
As an Indonesian once visited and ate there, I can confirm this. Their chichken dish especially roast chicken is so on point. They didnt hold back the spiciness, just as us in Indonesia love it. 😂
🤤🤤 fries oorlog..
I am javanese Surinamese...I hope you visit my country❤❤🙏
We love Indonesian food so much so maybe one day!!
Kom op ik krijg honger man 😋
Have yall gone to old zeeland?
Thank you. Use a spoon and fork. Moluccans would get the slipper for eating rice with just a fork 😂😂 I'm Dutch Moluccan and my Dutch family would drive me crazy just using a fork
Spoon and fork with rice as God intended 😂😂😂
satay is skewered grilled meat, where are the skewers??
try the haring ,raw fish and de lekkerbek thats fisch .yeah !!!1thats dutch !11hup holland.
We tried it in our first Amsterdam video!!
Shame you didn't sample the famous Marijuana cafes and explore the red light district bro!
16.50 for bacon an egg wauw its crazy
I'm dutch, but i'm not eating my rice with a fork tho. Spoon is the way. Chopsticks are the way for noodles. spaghetti you also eat with a spoon and fork right 😭
Good move 😆 Yeah we still eat spaghetti with a spoon and fork!
Indonesia and Suriname was colonized by Dutch
The fries from Manneke Pis are better than Vleminckx ;-)
Oh man should’ve tried them if we had more time!!
Hi Locavore Eats please see a video on YT called:
the dark history behind Surinamese food. Presented by The Present Past 😇👍🏽
That's the exact video that made us come to this specific Surinamese restaurant!! cuz we saw they also ate at Nieuw Albina!!
Indonesian food is rendang is famous
Can you please stop making videos like this while I'm on a diet? :-)
Fortunately, I will soon be able to enjoy good food again and as a Dutchman I really like that mix of Indonesian, Chinese and Surinamese food. You can also get it at the toko and eat it at home. Awesome stuff man!
Hahahaha just save them on your watch later list when you're done with your diet 😆 Loved the abundance of Indonesian food so much and really wish we had a Surinamese place here in Auckland cuz that was fantastic!! Thanks for watching 😇😇😇
A VLAAMS (FLEMMISH) fry stand would be flemmish... not dutch 😉
BRUSSELS BELGIUM
What is your national heritage? You both have Asian looks
We're Filipino 😊
@@locavore_eats awesome
Suri food you should buy at su/hindi not suri/chinees sorry if i offend anyone ps the best roti roopram
Pro tip: If a restaurant is totally empty during lunchtime ... don't eat there.
Vleminckx is the best in Amsterdam
Why would you travel half the world from NZ to NL just to drink NZ-style coffee in Amsterdam?
Hahaha Bakers & Roasters just so happened to be on the way to the Rijksmuseum for us and wanted to check it out. I mean why not, NZ-style coffee is some of the best 😆
Babi Pangang doesn't come from China 😅 it's from Indonesia 😂 ... most Chinese Restaurants serve the dish , but it's still a Indonesian dish 😋
1887 ???? the sign say 1957
edit. im blind, apparently.
Eating rice with a fork and knife is like swearing. You eat rice with a spoon and fork as it should be.
AMEN
is that your father next to you ?
Yep we travelled with our mum and dad 😊
You come to hollamd to insult us😢
You need to learn holland😂
huh?
Sorry but that roti looks terrible. It looks like the sauce has cornstarch in it, which has no place in roti (unless it's made by Chinese). Please don't go to a Chinese to get roti, but go to a real Hindustani restaurant. But don't go to Roopram, it's overrated. It used to be great though (10-20 years ago).
14:30 You're right. Rijsttafel (Rice Table) is a disgusting display of wealth. Just heaping up all kinds of dishes doesn't make one sophisticated, but a pathetic tasteless nitwit showing off their money, not hindered by any taste. Proper Indonesian food is much more simple (but extremely good tasting nevertheless) ;-)
It’s proper Indonesian food your disgusting there are 2 million Indonesians in the Netherlands
Finally.. it is painful to see eating rice with knife and fork.
Rice with spoon and fork as God intended 🙏🙏🙏
It’s actually how I rate an Asian restaurant in Europe. No spoon, auto fail😅 then I rate on how 🌶️ spicy it is. Sad to say a lot fail. To top it they should serve at least homemade iced tea.
Babi Pangang- one of the best Chinese-Indonesian dishes...it gotta be pork.screw halal
Eating with knife and fork......
