CULINARY GUIDE 2026

The Dutch Snack Legacy in Indonesia

Indonesia and the Netherlands share a deep culinary history that has evolved over centuries. From the iconic Bitterballen served at Jakarta's high-end lounges to the ubiquitous Risolles found in local street markets, the influence is everywhere.

While traditional recipes remain a staple, a new wave of Dutch-inspired entrepreneurs is revitalizing the scene with modern twists on Stroopwafels and artisanal Botterkoek.

Staying updated on these trends, seasonal festivals at the Erasmus Huis, and new product launches at specialty grocers can be difficult for enthusiasts.
