Goedkoop in Dutch means cheap. Warung Kopi Belanda means Dutch Coffee Shop. So, I guess the owners are trying to tell the customers that this place is a cheap Dutch coffee shop which I don't really think it is really cheap but yes, it is quite affordable.
The place has a nice and simple interior. For those who can not stand to smokers, maybe it's better not to come to this place because a lot of their customers smoke and there is no divider between smoking and non-smoking area.
Ice Koffie Bon Bon - Rp. 20.000
Hot Koffie Bon Bon - Rp. 17.000
A double shot espresso with condense milk. A resemble of Vietnamese coffee but the taste for sure is so different than from the original Vietnamese coffee.
Kaya met Kaas Dunne Toastje - Rp.15.000
It supposedly thin bread toast with kaya jam and cheese but I didn't taste the cheese at all.
Pannekoek Apple en Caramel - Rp. 27.000
Very thin pancake with apple, caramel and sugar powder. The pancake tasted bland and the caramel was bitter rather than sweet.
The receipt comes in a cute clog from the Netherlands.
Current currency:
1 USD = Rp. 9.920

i like the literal meaning of the place! The coffee looks good.. did it give you a buzz?
ReplyDeleteciki: Not really, hehehe..
DeleteA tosti (original Dutch name) with jam? That is typically NOT Dutch. Aneh! Mostly it's just ham and cheese.
ReplyDeleteThe coffee doesn't seem very Dutch either. The could at least serve it the Dutch way in a small cup (read SMALL) on a lepek with a kue speculaas.
In The Netherlands we also say: "Goedkoop is duurkoop" (about: Bought cheap is and expensive buy, meaning that something bought cheap can lead to more costs) Well, in my meaning that you would have to go to another place to have some other/ better food.
But believe me, GOOD Indonesian food is difficult to come by as well in The Netherlands. Aku menyedihkan!
rohan van den braak: I totally agreed with you! This coffee shop doesn't really represent Dutch food/culture at all. Yes, I know that good Indonesian food is difficult to find in the Netherlands. When I was there and ordered gado-gado, they used peanut butter as the sauce, hahaha...
