"Puri Mas" Puri Mas - Indonesian restaurant Tip by njtourist


 
 

<a href='http://www.purimas.nl/'='_blank'>Puri Mas</a>
Puri Mas is famous for its Rijsttafel, a feast of mild to strongly spiced Indonesian dishes.
Rijsttafel means Rice Table, an array of many dishes in small portions that covers the whole table. Although
it is a Dutch idea, its origins are clearly Indonesian and it was known at one time as Makan Besar.

Indonesian people traditionally take a meal from a central plate of steamed or fried rice with other dishes
arranged around it. Usually including some fish or meat, a vegetable dish, and a spicy sauce known as
sambel. The early Dutch planters, with their great appetites, added more and more dishes and so the
Rijsttafel originated. Rijsttafel was served on the plantations and at home parties. Later it was combined with hotel menus, and each dish served seperately by a waiter. There are many variations on the Rijsttafel. And each variation consists of a wide range of carefully selected dishes.
