Chinese Food in Rotterdam Netherlands...honest opinion coming your way and the one thing that was...

To all the dutchiefied chinese food comments .. most of us grew up on this .. so we relate to it .. its about shared experiences for me .. its not a food channel .. its a culture channel and for me dutchefied chinese food is part of my dutch culture and im indian surinamese so ..😂

Bedank ons niet, wij kijken alleen maar! Jullie maken de video's, wij moeten jullie bedanken! Dank jullie wel.🥰

I'm jealous at you guys. I left Holland in 1988 and been living overseas ever since. Living in the Philippines for the last 20 years. When I see you guys eating Babi Pang and, Fricandel Special, Kibbeling, Haring, Drop, and all other good stuff from there, I'm getting home sick and hungry. Thanks God my sister is coming here in two weeks time and brings all the good stuff with her. Can't wait. Enjoy your stay in Holland and love to see your guys uploads. Keep it up.

Congratulations on the five thousand subscribers! "You choo, choo choose me" is from "The Simpsons". 😀 I thought I was the only person who refilled water bottles. I usually don't drink directly from the bottle, but having some cold water handy is quite convenient, especially at night. 💜LOVE💜 your videos and looking forward to the next one.

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. 😀

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😄

I have been subscribed for several months now and everytime I see you guys I get a smile on my face. I really enjoy to see you explore my country and it's food. Congratulations for achieving the 5.09K subscribers and I hope to see you grow even more.

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.

13:30 You are totally right! It’s roasted pork with a sweet and sour sauce, made of tomatoes, vinegar and a lot of sugar!

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.

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

Your movies makes me happy, specialy in this time 😃

As you can see from your video, the restaurants are called "Indisch Chinees". That may give the impression that the food is from India but it refers to the East Indies which, for the Dutch, is Indonesia. There's also the West Indies refering to Curaçao, Aruba, etc. in the Caribbean. Amongst others there are Corean, Thai, Chinese, Indonesian and Surinamese loempias. The ketjap manis is fermented soy sauce with palmsugar. Better than the regular salty soy sauce. Anyway, if you want to go out for dinner order a rijsttafel. You'll be surprised. If you'd like to dive into indonesian cooking, Conimex is the famous brand for the ingredients.

My favorite Americans!!!! Love you both. You should ask for Sichuan dishes, those are the hotter ones. You ordered the Dutchiefied plain Chinese dishes which are sold all over the Netherlands and has nothing to do with Chinese food (but we still like those dishes very much). Keep those videos coming and you will hit 10k soon ❤️

I always gett instandly hungry iff il see you eating :).

Always fun to see you. Keep going please.

congrats with the 5000 subscribers , i love your video,s , makes me happy when i watch you eat

Again a great video of you guys! Nice way to start the day. Congrats with your 5k subscribers. About the ketjap, there are different sorts of ketjap. The sweet one (manis) and a salty one (asin) and it is in general used in cooking and for marinating meat such as satay/saté.
