Yes, you were lucky!
I really enjoyed the food in the Indonesian eateries. But do you not
think that Dutch folk who enjoyed that food would have tried to copy it
at home? I know that's what I did with the Indian foods I tried while at
college in Edinburgh. I think I got rather good at it, too! I mix my own
spices, rather than relying on commercial mixes.

Yes, people would make their versions of nasi goreng and maybe satay.
Everything calmed down with regards to hotness and probably lacking
some of the Indonesian spices. But I don't think it went much further
than that, unless they had a special interest.
