Hard to compare these dishes with what one commonly gets in US Chinese restaurants (California, Iowa, New Hampshire). Did these compare with dishes you had had in the states? (don't do hot, but otherwise spicy, you betcha!)--Jan

The Chinese-Indisch restaurants were the first foreign cuisine the Dutch got familiar with. We all grew up with it. The next countries that brought their kitchen here were the Greek and Italians. The Greek was souvlaki and gyros. And the drink retsina. The Italian were initially mainly pizzas, the original ones. And you drank Lambrusco, dangerous stuff. You can get very drunk without noticing it. In my opinion they certainly belong on your list of Dutch food. 😀

Why would you miss Babi Pangang (spek)? Just order Pork Belly in a Chinese restaurant over there and ask for a sweet and sour on the side, it's practically the same thing. The cheaper version of babi pangang is a cut of the shoulder, that is indeed a Dutch thing, but don't we prefer the pork belly version? It's crispy and not so chewy as the cheap babi pangang ( shoulder meat ) oftewel schouderkarbonade. If you want the shoulder version, it's easy to make yourself. You just deep fry pork chops, debone it and slice it up and throw sweet and sour sauce over it. That's all.

A tip if next time you have really hot and spicy stuff again: don’t drink water, because that won’t help. The hot ingredient is oily, so it won’t dissolve in water. Instead, eat a bit of white rice or white bread or drink some milk. That will cool it right away.

With indonesian (and what alot of people think is chinese) food is fairly simple to translate. For example everything ending with goreng is fried (pisang goreng: gebakken banaan, nasi goreng: gebakken nasi). Everything ending with pangang being roasted (babi pangang is roasted pork). Important to remember is babi=pork and ajam=chicken😄

In dutch SPICY means "seasoned" while you guys are expecting something we call HOT. So they are not the same in our dictionary. If you order something spicey you'll get something with great flavour. When you order something hot you'll experience a red face, a runny nose and heavy sweating :)

Hi Inge! Yes! Great suggestion! I added it to the list - Thank you😊

The Chinese food is different anywhere you go. It is one of the foods that is not original in The Netherlands and adjusted to local likings. In reality, the Chinese food in The Netherlands is basically Indonesian, even the names. Babi Pangang means literally roast pork in Bahasa Indonesia/ Melayu. Goreng means fried. The banana frieters are called Pisang Goreng here. Nasi is rice so Nasi Goreng is fried rice. Kroepoek is krupuk in Indonesia, satey also from here. The loempias are from Vietnam although there is a Chinese version called Popiah but are not deep fried but rolled in a thin rice wrap. My Chinese girlfriend and I still not figured out where Bami comes from. Most likely from Chinese immigrants to Indonesia. In Mandarin Chinese (1 of the 4 big dialects) it is called "Pan Mee" but according to her in Hokkien it is called "Bah mee" and that would kinda explain the name Bami. It is, and this is a huge tip, the best food on a Sunday morning when you have a slight hangover. Just fry it in a pan. "Sambal bij?" is a big joke in the Netherlands and sometimes a racist slur. It is a very mild sambal they give though. Ketjap is the name Ketchup came from and Manis means sweet and the other version is salty and called Kecap (Ketjap) Asin. The filled bun at the start is a Bao or Pau in Chinese and Char Siu Bao is often braised or roasted pork. Wonton is very Chinese and usually served in upscale restaurants in many, many varieties. You don not find them in most Chinese restaurant though, maybe in a simple, almost American version though. My favorite Chinese dish is Mei Fun or Bee Hoon or Mihun (all the same rice noodles), fried with mushrooms and capsicum and with Babi Pangang on top.

Hallo lovely people , you made my day , this was great seeing you try the spicy stuff , keep up the good work there are so manny different restaurants to try it will take months .

Thank you so much for these videos. I love them to bits. 5k subs is well deserved.. I really enjoy rediscovering my own culture through the eyes of an "outsider". I don't remember if you guys tried this yet, but have you gone to a snack wall? FEBO is the most well known, but usually you see them at high traffic spots like train stations too. Alternately try tasting some oldtimey Dutch candy like "stoofpeertjes" (or try the actual dish this candy is based on) or "boterbabbelaars". Also try "kaneelkussentjes" or "schuimblokken". Oh and I nearly forgot the brother of the stoofpeertjes called "framboosjes". (you used to be able to buy this at either HEMA or Jamin (a shop worth visiting anyway)). I left out all the liquorice and salty candies, because I do want you guys to enjoy these treats. Keep having fun on camera and keep sharing your findings, I look forward to your next video already.

Hi Guys! Nice video as always! Ok, here are my suggestions. You’ve tackled the big 3 foreign foods we grew up with in The Netherlands now, so for me personally the most obvious next step is the food that chronologically came next for most of us and that is Greek food. Please research a good restaurant (maybe use Tripadvisor?), since Greek food can be a bit hit and miss. Greek food done wrong can be a bit dry. One of the highlights of eating in a Greek restaurant was always the free shot of Ouzo you got before the meal! We Dutchies LOVE free stuff and couldn’t believe a restaurant would hand out free booze and I believe this gesture contributed greatly to the success of Greek food in The NL back in the day. Now, you probably won’t get Ouzo when you order takeout, so please make sure to get a bottle of Ouzo at the liquor store (slijterij) when trying it. Next in line would be Italian food, but you guys probably had a lot of Italian food in The States, right? Maybe this could be more of a comparison video? Find a good Italian restaurant (so no Dominos or NY pizza or anything) and see if it is better, worse or similar than the Italian food you’re used to. There are a lot of great Italian chefs here, which are very proud of the classical Italian kitchen, so a little research goes a long way! To close this segment of, let’s call these the medium 3 of foreign foods, you should definitely try Turkish / Egyptian food. (Shoarma, Kapsalon, Doner) This food was what I and my friends ate after we went out and is still, decades later, one of the most popular foreign foods around here. You’re gonna love it! Now I can’t remember if you already did a Snackbar video, where you try Dutch deep fried snacks like bitterballen, kaassouffle, berenklauw and frikandel, but if not: that will definitely be a fan favorite! Make sure to get a good list of what to get at the snackbar from the viewers, since different parts of The NL have different favorites. Research this well and you’ll have a banger of a video... Just use the words “Dutch snackbar” in the title and you’ll be alright. Maybe use something like: “Will Americans like Dutch snackbar food?” or “These Americans thought they knew deep fried food, but then tried a great Dutch snackbar!” or maybe “American deep fried food vs Dutch Snackbar food. Which is better?” On a semi related note: Did you guys know that you have one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in The NL in your city: Little V? We unfortunately aren’t that close to Rotterdam, but if we are in the neighborhood we ALWAYS eat there. It is the only place that makes Vietnamese food that's at least as good as my Vietnamese wife makes it herself. We absolutely love their food. Go check them out! Now most Dutchies only know Vietnamese food from the stalls in the streets where you can buy Vietnamese Loempia’s, so this might not be a very popular video as the other ones will be, but go try it nevertheless. Even if it means doing it of camera. You’re welcome! I hope I've at least inspired some content idea’s and I’m looking forward to the next video, whatever it may be! You guys rock!

Congrats on getting 5000 subscribers! So i was thinking maybe do a tour of the Netherlands and check out the foods that are specific for that province. I'm from Friesland. We have Fryske Dumkes. Those are cookies with anise that aren't sold outside Friesland. We also have oranjekoek. It's a reference to the connection with the House of Orange, since king Willem-Alexanders ancestor came from Leeuwarden. As Frisians we're even arrogant enough to say that all current kings and queens of Europe have a common ancestor who came from Leeuwarden. Btw, fun fact about oranjekoek. You'd think the top was orange, but it's actually pink. While you visit Terschelling go and eat at Zeezicht. Try their cranberry cheesecake. It's delicious. Erik can drink it with warm chocomel and whipped cream. It's a little tradition in our family. Cranberry isn't native to the Terschelling, but during a shipwreck the fruit settled in Terschelling and you can find it there a lot. They also sell delicious cranberry tea. You can also find jutter likeur. It's an alcoholic drink that's perhaps not for everybody. There is also beerenburg and beerenburg chocolates in Leeuwarden. I know Erik wasn't to keen on them before, but there are some different types of beerenburg. Also, try it with cola. And then there is sugar bread, frisian sausage, beer, cheese and mustard. Btw, while you're in Friesland, check out the story of Grutte Pier. To the frisians he was a freedom fighter. Though most dutch people would disagree with that statement. It's also where the saying: "Bûter, brea en griene tsiis, wa't dat net sizze kin, is gjin oprjochte Fries" comes from. If you were unable to pronounce that, he'd knock your head off. A replica of his sword is in the Frisian museum. It's over 6ft. And be sure to get a tour from A Guide to Leeuwarden. They'll tell you all about Leeuwardens connection to Escher and Mata Hari along with a lot of other note worthy things.

Hi Guys, Nice that you were able to add yet another food tasting to your experience! As for that Sambal (the red stuf in the little bags) In my experience some chinese restaurants make it themselves and then the spiciness can sometimes be much hotter than 'standard'. But on average it's indeed not too hot. It does add a nice flavour and a little bite to the food though ...

You may want to eat ("all you can eat") at a Chinese "wok restaurant". Then you can watch the staff cooking your dishes (short time in hot oil, but there is a lead time involved), and you can reproduce that at home. (Requires a "wok" or "wadjang", a big bowl-shaped pan.) The Dutch verb "roerbakken" ("stir and fry") comes close to "wokking". - I mention this, so that you can be alert for food to be wokked (like mixed cut vegetables) in a supermarket. Me, I often eat such vegetables, but I put them in the microwave for a "long" time at a "reduced" power level. PS: Congrats on the 5000!

The sambal (hot sauce) you get at the Chinese restaurant is actually the milder version. If you go to a "Toko" they usually have the better/ hotter types of sambal. I would personally recommend the "Madame Jeanette" which is a bit hotter but nothing too crazy.

You could try Indian and Thai food! So delicious! I also had Ethiopian food once and I loved it.

I agree with the Ethiopian food. Go eat some injera (with your right hand!). Not very well known so I hope it will get some more likes!

You might like to try Wantan soup with pork vegetables and such a full meal for lunch. You will find a good place on the Kruiskade. It’s just around the corner of the Eendrachtssingel.

If you guys are going to try some greek food, may I suggest going to Taverna Broersvest in Schiedam? This is by far the best Greek restaurant in and around Rotterdam. The food is great, the waiters and the owners are always very nice and you’ll always get a few drinks on the house, which is rare in this day and age. They do take-away but I suggest eating there because of the ambiance.

Hello TheEntityNL! Thank you for the suggestion!! And, thank you very much for watching us😊

Congratulations on the 5000 subscribers! In Rotterdam I would recommend Tai Wu at Mauritsweg. I was told by students from Hong Kong that they serve the standard they are used to in HK. Don’t forget to try their Peking Duck. It’s delicious. Looking forward to your video on Turkish food. Mezze is fantastic and I would recommend the Turkish stall at the Oogstmarkt on Saturdays (at Noordplein).

Tai Wu should definitely be on the list. Closer to real Chinese food. Try the beef tenderloin with black pepper sauce and macadamia nuts. One of my favourites.

Hello Sabai!! We took your suggestion and had lunch at Tai Wu yesterday (Sunday) and it was delicious! We almost didn’t get a table, but the nice host made a spot for us! I believe we might have been the only non-chinese people in the restaurant (so we knew we were in for a special treat😊) We did try the duck! Oh, boy, the skin was so nice and crispy💕. Thank you for suggesting Tai Wu🥰

Altough 1 year later. Chekiang garden is also my chinese of choice in Rotterdam ❤

Hey guys nice video! The fried banana thing really is a orient thing from origin. In Indonesia this would be called: Pisang Goreng, in Suriname this would be called: Baka-bana and even the Chinese started making their own version of deep fried banana. In the Beginning when the Chinese people started opening their Chinese restaurants (in the 60-ties I think) the Chinese basically found out that the Dutch were not familiar with typical Chinese Foods. But the Dutch did know Indonesian Foods and so the Chinese restaurants in The Netherlands started to make their own version of Indonesian Foods which tasted more or less not like Indonesian Foods and not like Chinese Foods, but basically was good food and lekker :-) ! The name which covers this food made by Chinese-Indonesian restaurants in The Netherlands probably is; Oriental food. Although you would not be able to get this food in The Orient. Similar food, or even the food on which the Chines based their typical Dutch-Oriental food, of course you will be able to get in The Orient. The Chinese really turned out to be very flexible in their ability to switch from typical Chinese foods (which did not sell in The Netherlands in the beginning; due to different taste) into food which did sell: more or less Indonesian foods. And as I told you guys before; since The Dutch brought together the different people from the different countries (China, Indonesia, India and the local natives of Suriname) as slaves in to The West (for example: Suriname) they got to know the foods of each other...and so started making their own versions of the foods of their fellow slaves in the new country they all lived in. You could say it was the first version of what nowadays would be called; Fusion Foods.

Have you tried Dutch Stamppot? So many to choose from: Stamppot rauwe sla, stamppot andijvie, stamppot wortelen, stamppot bruine bonen (also known for stamppot putty) but with some gravy… love it.

Go to Utrecht Food Explore (the wall). In the Netherlands we like all you can eat restaurants, and this one is one of the best in my opinion. Many different kinds of food and drinks are also inclusive. .. many Chinese restaurants nowadays do AYCE .. often you choose your ingredients and they wok/cook it for you and you can choose a sauce. Often it is not fantastic.. but you can choose what you want and try and eat as much as possible.. like a buffet but they'll cook your food in front of you.

Congratulations on the 5k 🥳🥳🌈🔥🍭💥🇳🇱✊🏽

There are also Chinese Cantonese dishes that are quite different from the dishes you had right there, really worth a try. And I like Thai, which is different in the sense that tastes more light and fresh, whereas Indonesian, Chinese and Surinamese is a bit more harty and many dishes are made longer in advance.

The Ketjap manis is Indonesian by the way, so you did mix things up a little bit. But then again, quite a few Chinese restaurants in the Netherlands are actually mixed Chinese/Indonesian. And even then it's inevitably adapted to the Dutch palate.

@@MiguelJW This is just wrong, most of these restaurants are run by Chinese or Indonesian immigrants or their offspring. These dishes are the result of them trying to recreate their national dishes using the limited ingredients available at the time in the Netherlands, and adjusting them to the local tastes.

Ketjap manis is such a great sauce as you can use it for litterly everything. I mainly use it when I bake a piec of karbonade (pork chop?). And it's so GOOD. (But I do advice the Go-tan version)/.

You guys are really determined to do the Dutch experience all the way, chapeau! Not too many Americans went there before you. Most never make it past the stroopwafels, poffertjes maybe haring if they're really adventures. It is a lot of fun to watch. By the way, did you hear the famous phrase (we say "gevleugelde uitspraak", not sure how to translate that) "sambal bij?", cause that's absolutely an essential part of the experience.

'Sambal bij' is just asking if you want sambal with it. just as 'Patat met' ?'. That's if you want fries with mayonaise. Sometimes it's really annoying if people randomly shouting this to me. I'm Chinese by DNA but Dutch as can be. When I worked in a Chinese restaurant, some brutally customers wanted me to say it the stereotypical way. I refused to do that. I used just the full sentence 'Wilt u sambal erbij?'.

The baked banana is often eaten with saté sauce. You had thick bami there. The thinner bami is way better. What's also nice is to order the Tjap Tjoy with mihoen and add saté sauce on top 😋.
