About Reis mee & proef de cultuur. - Padifood Authentic Asian Cuisine
Padifood is a Dutch family-owned food company based in Oss that specializes in authentic Asian cuisine. It grew out of the Chinese-Indonesian restaurant De Padihoeve and has been producing packaged chilled meals and restaurant-style Asian dishes since 1987, serving retail chains, foodservice customers, and industrial clients.
The company positions itself as a partner for traditional Asian dishes that combine restaurant authenticity with professional-scale production. Its website emphasizes quality, taste, service, and flexibility, and notes that Padifood operates from two modern production sites in Oss where products are still prepared in an artisanal way in woks.

- Quality ingredients: The company says it uses only high-quality, freshly delivered ingredients, and it links product quality directly to ingredient origin and freshness.
- Craftsmanship: Production is described as artisanal and hands-on, including self-marination of meat, steamed rice, and wok preparation of finished products.
