Jenise wrote:Well then you've had a very good salad, but without the correct dressing it's not caesar. Not that the caesar served in most restaurants is the real deal--most mid-priced restaurants and no doubt this Punjabi restaurant are pouring something creamy out of a jug they buy through a food service company, and a genuine caesar is not creamy.

That's not true. They have a (limited) cuisine.
One is really better off finding an Indonesian place and having rijstaffel, but that doesn't mean that Dutch cuisine doesn't exist.
