Maaaaaan, I live in Houston and the only decent rijsttaffel I've been able to find has been at a Dutch friend's huis.
There are only two places in Houston that purport to be Indonesian, and no Dutch restaurants so don't come lookin' for a delicious feast here.

Remember the name and/or where it was by any chance? For a while, I went to a Indonesian restaurant on Fraser between 25th and 24th that had a nice buffet. Elderly Chinese Indonesian proprietors retired and the place is now a Viet noodle house.

I do not remember the name. That was probably the place, certainly the general area. It was indeed run by an older couple. I think the husband was the chef. They had a great chicken dish with dark sweet soy sauce and spices.
