In memoriam | Rien Lengkong-Hübner, mother, cook and pivot in the Indonesian community of Groningen. ‘We miss Rien and we miss her food’

One of the first questions Johnny Hübner (1948) asked at the first meeting was: ,,Are you good at cooking?” The answer was: ,,Yes.” Rien Lengkong was on holiday with her mother in Geleen, who was separated from her father and had already emigrated to the Netherlands. Johnny was there visiting with his mother. The two clicked so much that she never returned to Celebes. They married six months later, despite the age difference. He was 28, she 17.
