This is Mur 
@mur2501 Indo-Chinese as in Indonesian-Chinese? There's a shitton of those restaurants here. Delicioussssss.
@trinsec
Indo-Chinese means Indian-Chinese.
The word Indonesia itself means Indian Islands.
@mur2501 Then you've got a different definition than we have. If we want to say Indian, it is Indiaas. If we want to say Indonesian it is Indonesisch. If we want to say Indonesian-Dutch, it is Indo.
So our Indo-Chinese restaurants is actually Chinese restaurants with heavy Indo influences. You'd never find this food in China or in Indonesia as it is here. It's totally adjusted to our Dutch taste buds and it is so goddamn delicious.
@trinsec
It's not different definition it's just that Europeans only knew either India or China so when they colonised the region they named accordingly on that, also the Malay archipelago was settled under rule of an Empire from Southern India.
The Singapore itself means 'Lion city' in Sanskrit (The Indian ruler who discovered the island mistaken a tiger for a lion)
@mur2501 I just think English and Dutch probably differ enough because they colonized different regions with similar-ish names.
UK had a long history with India, and NL had a long history with Indonesia.
@trinsec
I think you not good in history 
The regions didn't had any names by themselves like that, India and Indonesia are names given by the colonial powers to the regions.
India itself in Hindi is called 'Bharat'
Indonesia didn't had any native names as a whole, the 300 or so tribes living there only had names for their own regions.
So now lets dive in history 
Around 1600, The Portuguese and the Dutch were the first powers to colonize the coasts of India in the south. Dutch had the strongest naval force at that time (Brits were no where in comparison) and it easily captured colonies in the south western coast of India as well as the whole of Sri Lanka then gone on to capture the Islands nearby (That's Indonesia: Indian Islands). Now the Kingdom of Travancore in the South India got angered by the Dutchies and recaptured all of Dutch colonies heavily defeating the Dutch navy (Hence Dutch became the first and only European power to be defeated entirely by an Asian kingdom). This incident lowered the Dutch morale and shortly after the Dutch were again defeated in the Anglo-Dutch war (Hence Britain becoming the top naval power) and had to give all rights of colonizing of India to the Brits in the treaty that followed, with this lost the Dutch only remained till the present day Islands of Indonesia and Malaysia.
