So how did meises arrive in Indonesia and be named meises? If we look at history, of course meises were first introduced to Indonesia by the Dutch. In the Netherlands meises are called hagelslag. Another variation of hagelslag with various fruit flavors is called muisjes. Because Indonesians find it difficult to pronounce the word muisjes, in Indonesian spelling it is called meises or meses or mises.
Muisjes are served as a celebratory treat for new born babies. Traditional Dutch society serves blue muisjes for baby boys and pink muisjes for baby girls. Different from the birth of a royal baby, the muisjes served for the birth of a royal baby are orange muisjes. The tradition of eating meises with white bread was originally introduced by the Dutch, whether baked or not baked, until now meises are still enjoyed as a complement to white bread or as a topping for various desserts.
So that's it, Peekay friends, the history of meises in Indonesia, starting from the pronunciation of the word muisjes which was then absorbed into Indonesian to become meises.
