Slow-cooked Indonesian beef rendang spooned into a soft white Dutch bread roll with crispy fried shallots and sambal. The Amsterdam fusion sandwich: an Indonesian colonial dish in Dutch sandwich form.
Rendang is a centuries-old Minangkabau (Sumatran) slow-cooked beef dish that Dutch colonists encountered through the East Indies trade. After Indonesian independence in 1949, Indonesian-Dutch families repatriated to the Netherlands, bringing the dish; Indonesian restaurants like Sampurna, Sama Sebo and Tempo Doeloe popularised it in 1950s and 60s Amsterdam. The broodje (sandwich) format emerged in the late 1990s as Amsterdam's takeaway adaptation; today every Indonesian toko (grocery) and many Surinamese-style snack bars sell broodje rendang as a quick lunch. Blauw Amsterdam serves the canonical sit-down version with rijsttafel.
