The Frenchman does “Indonesian”

In Sunday afternoon while everyone is having a rest time to prepare the next day’s pressure of working or studying, Vanmmushen Broekstraat could become the home where different cultures meet and practice. Today, Mathieu oudry from France has come with a new idea of making an Indonesian food with his preference style of cooking.

As one of the residents in this house, he made a research how to find the suitable taste according to his tongue for the special cuisine ‘Rendang’, as well as for the other people. When people usually have the will to learn over this method of cook, today we learned from him how to cook Indonesian food with French style. Do you think it’s going to change the taste or the feeling when you eat it? Well, not really….

Mixing the method of creating food can also be considered to be mixing cultures. Argumentation and debate is always being the ingredients to reach the consensus between different cultures. Hence, we came up with different options how to serve this food…

It made us to maintain the patience to collaborate our ideas and took us for several hours to wait for the best result. As you know beef or meat need a long process of time and way of cooking to have soft slides so that it will melt in our mouth and taste yummy…

Afterwards, when we think about the fact of mixing, it does not only apply for making children but it is also possible in creating foods. And when we think Pasta or Spaghetti is the preferable tasty food for Asian people like us, the Rendang has become the best food for the Frenchman….

       

Diaspora of Indonesian art

Indonesian village in The Netherlands

Hundreds of houses built in authentic Indonesian style will be seen on small peninsulas in Lelystad. The city of Lelystad is going to build an Indonesian village consisting of hundreds of houses with pointed roofs, porches and inner gardens. The initiators say nearly a thousand people have already applied to live there. Many are of mixed Dutch/Indonesian descent but anyone with a love of Indonesia is welcome. The initiators Lex Burgersdijk en Wally Stahlberg are considering starting similar projects elsewhere in the Netherlands, for instance in Almere and Leeuwarden. Indonesia was a Dutch colony for hundreds of years until the country won its independence in 1949. After independence, hundreds of thousands of people of mixed European and Indonesian ancestry moved to the Netherlands because they were unable or unwilling to integrate into Indonesian society (Expatica, 28 November 2008). However, this gives impact to the new generation of this mixed society to build its own identity and dream of the strong traditional value from their ancestors. Anyone wants to live there?
