Luckily, the staff was able to understand my finger pointing and request for spicy food. The service isn’t exceptionally quick, but faster than any sit down place. While, I find it a bit strange that the food is microwaved, it’s quite tasty — though a bit salty. Also, I wasn’t a fan of the hard boiled egg that you can tell has been sitting out for peeled sitting in the cooled food area(it was rubbery). I think I had bok choy and some bean sprout veggies, along with 2 types of chicken. The soy based version was ok and the spicy one had a nice kick. Overall, I would probably come back. While the business information states that they take credit cards, I don’t think they do. Instead, they take Maestro(debit) and they take some type of Visa, but it was probably Visa Electron(Debit). They definitely didn’t take my business MasterCard credit card.

Look past the tacky interior. I ordered what the owner suggested from the long display counter, took a drink from the fridge and sat down. A few minutes later my meal arrived piping hot. Everything gets microwaved and there’s no secret about it. Delicious.

We decided to try as many Indonesian restaurants as possible on this trip to Holland. We have heard from our friends that Indonesian food at Netherlands was excellent. sometime better than the real one in Java. This was the first eatery we entered but unfortunately, we were sorely disappointed. The meats were too salty and the vegetables were only so so. We are sure that our friend didn’t dine here.

Ladies and Gent i am happy to announce that i finally found an Indonesian that is worth its 5 starts. Ok so this is way off the beaten tracks for the tourists but if you are local and you got to have a good indo then you definitely must visit. The widest selection of Veggies, fish and Meat — Indo style that you can combine in anyway. Thankfully i did not visit the place alone otherwise i might still be there trying to decide what to pick. Service is extremely friendly, the place is sparkling clean and has a touch of Indonesia. I believe they speak English also. If you are in the hood a MUST visit. After all what is better than good shopping followed by good food???

Wow… Like wowzers! I think I’ve written enough reviews proclaiming the heeeerlijkness of indo-food, but this place really puts others to shame! HUGE selection and for you veggie heads out there the herbivore selection knows no bounds and trying to select two is close to torture! If you haven’t been here before, I shall explain the process… 1. Walk to the very back of the toko — this is the start line. 2. Select one of the rices, noodles(there are MANY to choose from) 3. Select two veggie dishes. This is no easy tasks folks! They all look super lekker and if you are a fan of tempeh, you will be in heaven! I had the aubergine/tempeh in spicy sauce and peanut sprouts… but in doing so I missed out on the sate bean sprouts, spiced sweet potatoes, other tempeh schempeh dishes… .AAARRRG… I had to quickly calm the F down and tell myself that I will be back… 4. Select two meat dishes. The«spicy» ones are REAAAAALLY flavorful, but not that spicy. Also a huge selection and any choice you make will be right choice. 5. Next, go sit down and enjoy! Wat suuuper gezellig is, is that you don’t pay until you leave. So just sit down, grab a drink yourself if you are thirsty, and when you leave, you can pay for whatever you consumed. What really tops this place off to a 5-star rating is the décor. Bamboo napkin holders on the wall… in fact, you can’t see the wall with all the orchids, vines, oriental decoration, lights… you’ll know what I’m talking about when you walk in. But what I love the most is homegirl(owner) has pictures of herself all over! As someone from southeast asia, I’m happy to see stuff like this as it reminds me of the culture over there. When you walk into someone’s house, you will see MASSIVE pictures(larger than real size) or scrolls of the women or marriage photos. Here, you will see pictures of homegirl in the rice fields, homegirl with her hands together, homegirl brushing her hair in the warm Indonesian breeze. Either way, homegirl loves her pictures and I hope you love them too. I FOR sure will be back because I need to eat the other billions of selections they have.

Lage: gleich um die Ecke von der Mall. Speisekarte suchte ich vergebens, hab’s trotzdem probiert. Denn man kann sehen, wie das Essen aussieht: in einer langen Theke sind viele, viele indonesische Gerichte präsentiert. Zuerst wählt man die bevorzugte Körbchengröße: die Gesamtmenge, die man essen möchte. Denn das Essen kommt in ein mit Papier ausgelegtes Körbchen. Dann entscheidet man sich für die Basis: zur Auswahl stehen ca. 15 – 20 verschiedene(bzw verschieden zubereitete) Reis– und Nudelsorten. Darauf kommen dann bei der normalen Körbchengröße zwei Gemüse– und zwei Fleischgerichte. Da ich nix kannte, hab ich das genommen, was vielversprechend aussah. Und fast immer kam die Warnung: von scharf bis wirklich, wirklich scharf. Das hatte nichts mit der Körbchengröße zu tun! Das kommt dann alles zusammen in die Microwelle. Danach lässt sich nicht mehr sagen, wie die Basis(in meinem Fall Fried Rice) alleine schmeckte, weil die Soßen runterliefen. Machte aber nix, weil alles schmeckte. Ach so: die Warnung sollten sich Mitteleuropäer, die selten scharf essen, zu Herzen nehmen, denn sonst hat man uU ein Problem. Aber es gibt auch viele milde Gerichte. Die Auswahl ist so groß, da ist für(fast) jeden was dabei.
