Holland - a great Rijstaffel!

Which proves my point, Indonesian food in the Netherlands is tops, but
it's still Indonesian.

Much better than it is in Indonesia! I'd rather visit Indonesia, but
prefer Indonesian food in the Netherlands...

Bizarre. In Indonesia you can get fabulous stuff on every corner! In the
Netherlands you pay through the nose to sit in a smoky restaurant and get
served cabbage and potatoes and pot roast with half a packet of Indo-Mie
sauce purchased around the corner at Dirk Van Den Broek poured on it.

I don't recal it that way at all - I remember fabulous rijstaffels &
none of what you describe, but it's been awhile...

Not my experience. But then, I like the nasi and
bami that you can get on street corners!

Eh? Are you talking Indonesian Indonesian v Dutch Indonesian?
I've only been to Amsterdam once and had dinner at 3am in an
Indonesian, but it wasn't like that. Nazi Goreng with optional
police raid IIRC.

Well, nasi goreng is nasi goreng. Dry and flavorless in the NL version, but
still basically the same theory. Only so far you can mess it up before it
becomes a different dish.
