: TOKO OEN

Toko Oen is a nostalgic place for a rendezvous, having a lunch that is more or less based on Dutch needs. The first restaurant was opened in Yogyakarta (1922) and, soon Jakarta, Semarang, Surabaya and Malang followed the example of the succes in Yogya.

The family of Oen knew exactly how to enjoy the Dutch colonials, serving just bread and cake while listening to the old music of Dutch, English and Javanese songs, played by a music group. Their icecream and Dutch cookies got famous to the visitors, included court officials of the Kratons from Yogyakarta and Solo, as well dignitaries from the Netherlands like Queen Juliana.

Favorite Dish: The family of Oen sold all of their Toko Oen's, only in Semarang the restaurant still belongs to the family. In Malang the restaurant still is a nostalgic heritage, where you can enjoy fried rice, noodles, Dutch croquetes, beefsteak, spring rolls, satay whlie listening to the music of old Javanese song (on request, and the managers as well the servants love it!). Right in the center of Malang around the alun-alun (where the tree of waringins are) next to the Catholic Cathedral (Gereja Katolik) and the Mata Hari Mall this is a must, especially for Indo's of the Netherlands ...
