THE RIJSTTAFEL
During the colonial period of Indonesia
the Dutch lived rather lavish life’s, with plenty
of servants to assist in making life as comfortable as possible.
Eating was not any different and the choice given was either
Colonial Dutch or Indonesian Cuisine. When ever they referred
to Indonesian cooking then the basic phrase of Rijsttafel
was used, meaning Rice Table. Contrary to European cuisine,
which was mostly plated, Indonesian dishes were always served
in the center of the table surrounding a large basket of
steamed white rice.
