Taste of Maluku

Food / Drinks

I am Yannic Kuhn, a third-generation member of a Moluccan family and the founder of Taste of Maluku. At the age of twenty, I developed a passion for cooking, initially exploring the entire Asian cuisine and later focusing specifically on Moluccan cuisine. During my HBO studies, I envisioned combining this passion with my Moluccan roots to create a catering business.

Inspired by this idea, I decided to bring it to life during the first lockdown. I provide catering services for individuals and businesses, catering to various special occasions. When preparing Moluccan dishes for your catering needs, I approach it as if I were cooking for my entire family, ensuring genuine authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and an unparalleled taste experience.

In addition to catering, I also organize events such as pop-ups and tastings, offering the same authentic experience. The Moluccan community in the Netherlands is a close-knit and warm society, though often closed off to the outside world. It's ingrained in our culture to do everything together, and sharing a meal with the entire family is considered highly important.

I want to share this experience with my customers. Through my dishes, I aim to introduce more people to our culture by bringing Moluccan cuisine to as many individuals as possible, including you.

Welcome to Face This. We’re a charity, dressed as a streetwear brand, dropping a new collab every single month. We unleash the raw creativity of Indonesian school kids, through meaningful collaborations with the world’s most renowned artists.

And as the proceeds contribute to their schools, the kids literally design their own future.

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” Picasso was immensely inspired by the way children draw. He even said: “It took me four years to paint like Rafael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.” And it’s not just Picasso who felt this way about art.

Today’s artists are also inspired by how kids create. Therefore we asked ourselves: “If kids are so creative, shouldn’t the ones living in poverty be able to use their creativity as a force for good? And what if they could inspire artists around the world in the mean time?”

Since2008, we´ve been inspiring internationally renowned (street)artists by enabling them to collaborate with Indonesian school kids on tees, totes and sweaters. How? Indonesian school kids craft compelling drawings which artists use to design terrific T-shirt artworks with.

In the 15 years since we began, our charity has raised over 100,000 Euros and funded nine different educational projects across Indonesia. From building new classrooms to renovating existing ones, and from earthquake relief aid to food packages to support communities during the pandemic, the proceeds of Face This T-shirts have helped provide different kinds of support.

Enjoy!

Toko Lo

Food / Drinks

The name "Toko Lo" originated in my family. Where my full name is Lola, it has been shortened to Lo since I can remember. The "toko" was later added. At a young age, I was already in love with food. I wanted to make it my profession. Determined, I early on said that I would become a pastry chef. Right after high school, my adventure as a pastry chef began.

I started a work-study program, first in a pastry shop and later switching to a patisserie. Eventually, I graduated as an all-around pastry chef.

My grandmother Annie was a very good cook. After she was forced to come to the Netherlands, she learned to cook from her mother-in-law who lived in the house. Soon, my grandmother mastered this skill and how! Years later, the family came every weekend from all over the country to enjoy my grandmother's cooking and baking skills. Denstraat 30 in Amersfoort was the place where everyone gathered.

Also, friends of grandpa & grandma and of my father and uncles. Everyone was welcome, and there was always something delicious for them. And how lucky I was to experience this on my mother's side of the family too, through Grandma Jos. Who was also a very good cook, just like mom.

After my grandmother passed away and the aunts got older, I decided to delve more into Indonesian recipes. It became known to family and friends that I had started baking/cooking. Requests started pouring in; "your grandma always made those pastries, do you have that recipe?" or "those layered cakes with rum that your grandma made, can I order those?".

When delivering my experiments or cookies from school, I was joyfully welcomed with "there's Toko Lo". I fully embraced this name, and now we are inseparably connected.

After the orders and requests expanded beyond family and acquaintances, it was time to register in 2015 with the Chamber of Commerce as Toko Lo, the Indonesian Bakery & Catering.

Ferran Alinegara

Sports

Introducing Ferran Alinegara, a remarkable talent with Indonesian roots. Though initially excelling as a soccer player at a high amateur level, Ferran harbored a penchant for goalkeeping. It wasn't until a few years ago that he made the pivotal decision to transition into this role—a decision that has proven to be immensely fruitful.

Leveraging his experience as a versatile soccer player, Ferran exhibits exceptional skills both on the field and between the posts, a valuable trait for modern goalkeepers.

Currently refining his abilities at the Ado den Haag academy in the Netherlands, Ferran, at just 13 years old, stands tall at 172 CM. Born in the Netherlands to parents of Indonesian descent, Ferran's lineage is deeply rooted in Indonesian culture, with both sets of grandparents originating from Indonesia.

Notably, his father holds Indonesian citizenship (WNI), proudly anchoring their familial ties to Indonesia.

Born in 2010, Ferran possesses dual citizenship of Indonesia and the Netherlands, a testament to his multicultural background. This duality holds promise for the Indonesian national team, sparing Ferran the arduous naturalization process should he be called upon to represent his ancestral homeland.

Impressively, Ferran has already embarked on his educational journey at Ado den Haag, demonstrating his commitment to both academic and athletic pursuits from a young age. With his dedication and talent, Ferran aspires to earn the coveted opportunity to don the Indonesian national team jersey.

Adding to his rich background, Ferran's parents own an Indonesian Toko in The Hague, a testament to their culinary heritage and familial legacy. Established by Ferran's grandfather in 1986, the Toko stands as a beacon of authentic Indonesian cuisine, offering delectable dishes and delicately spiced Indonesian specialties.

So, Ferran, continue to train diligently, give your best, and enjoy the flavors of Indonesian cuisine—it's a recipe for success!

My love for Indonesian cuisine is deeply rooted in my family history and forms the core of my passion. My mother, who hails from Bandung, introduced me early on to the delightful aromas and flavors of Indonesian food.

This passion extends beyond my mother’s kitchen. My father, who spent his service years in Indonesia, shared his love for the country with our family. In the Netherlands, he managed supermarkets with a special Indonesian section, offering homemade sambal and ketjap in jars with custom labels.

My parents are my greatest sources of inspiration. Their love for Indonesian cuisine and culture has guided me to find my own path in the world of Indonesian food. Through my Instagram channel, I enthusiastically share my passion and invite you to join me on a culinary journey through Indonesia.

Follow me for authentic recipes, cooking tips, and a glimpse into my kitchen, where tradition and innovation come together.
