Assimilation Course

Chinese tastes different everywhere. The Netherlands edition is known as a "Chin. Ind. Rest.", ("Chinese-Indonesian restaurant" doesn't fit on the window). Almost every Dutch town has one, but in trendy Amsterdam, I thought they were extinct. Yesterday, however, my girlfriend and me visited a classic one.
Real "kroepoek" (Indonesian pawn crackers)! Beef with pineapple --I thought cooking with pineapple went out with leg warmers and Wham! For me, it was a trip down memory lane, and for my girlfriend, some true slice of Dutch culture. Or as one Dutch comedian put it, "Exotic food? Naah, just pick up some Chinese."
