Lunch at the Coffee Box

Story Time: Lunch at the Coffee Box

" Prop from the Coffee Box in Paramaribo Suriname"

Hello again, today is a beautiful day. I am sure everyone noticed the beautiful number combination of 2-2-2022. Congratulations to all the love birds that decided to make this their special day. Rest assured, today I am not writing to you guys about the date! I am here to talk about this cute little spot located in Paramaribo. It's called The Coffee box and we decided to have our lunch there. The Coffee Box is located in the Lala Rookh weg #22. What a coincidence with all the number 2's that I am confronted with today. When you are in the Lala Rookh weg, it's difficult to miss The Coffee Box. Their modern and wooden decor is immediately noticeable. Even at night, you can see their bright lamps shine on their terras from the street.

Don't mind my natural look, I don't want to be one of those bloggers that feed you a picture-perfect life all the time. Nope, that is never going to be me. I was hungry, I wanted lunch. A Queen had a lot of stuff to do. Because these projects don't run and operate themself. Why else would I waste my time participating in all those things and gathering tools and knowledge if I didn't think that I could use it to bring great things to life? You could say that in my life I am creative in different ways, and known in many ways haha. The Coffee Box was close by and we decided to step in with our hungry stomachs. It wasn't so crowded during the lunch hour today, when you step into the restaurant you have to register before you get seated at a table. That is a good thing because we are still in this scary pandemic. The pandemic has slowed down my adventures a little bit, but on the other hand, it has done great things for my writing and my networking abroad. One thing is for sure, girls who love to use their brains like I do need a good meal. The waitress presented us with their Lunch menu.

" The Lunch menu from Coffee Box Paramaribo"

Their Lunch menu provides a lot of different options. We decided to order pasta because I was in an alfredo pasta mood and we also ordered their Pollo Magnifico. I saw that they had Pistachio Frappe on the menu, I wanted to taste that because I know I like Pistachio nuts. I was curious to find out what it would taste like. We waited for a little while and the first thing to show up on our table was the pistachio frape.

The Pistachio Frape certainly did look the part, but if I have to be blunt with you It didn't taste like Pistachio. It was so sweet and watery that I couldn't even sugar coat this one. Take the positive feedback Coffee Box, no hard feelings. You guys have awesome aesthetics and it's a great place to take pictures but the frape needs some improvement!

The view is so relaxing especially with the fresh draft of wind blowing by. They do have free wifi in their restaurant that is easily accessible. The only thing that you have to do is sign in to their location on Facebook. We distracted ourselves for a short while with conversations and paid attention to the busy street right in front of our noses. It didn't take too long for the food to arrive. I must say that I do love how the staff applies teamwork. I was hinting at my waitress but she didn't immediately see me. Her colleague that was serving at another table did see me and let her know that we needed her service at the moment. I am an observer, I can't help it. I like to see how people interact with each other. Keep in mind that with traffic passing by The Coffee Box, it can get a bit noisy!

" The Chicken Pasta from The Coffee Box in Paramaribo"

My Pasta was neatly presented on my table, it looked so beautiful. I added the cheese to my dish. Because I love Cheese in my pasta. I went for the Creamy Alfredo Penne Pasta. My favorite kind of pasta. I have ordered from many different restaurants in Suriname. When it comes to taste the pasta was average compared to other kinds of pasta that we have tasted. It was creamy and I did like the black olives in it, but it wasn't the best pasta that I have had in this country.

" The Pollo Magnifico chicken burger from The Coffee Box in Paramaribo Suriname"

Now let's get to the Pollo Magnifico, the burger and fries were nicely presented and they did look delicious. However, the bun was a bit dry and crumbly. The bun didn't taste fresh, and you can't really eat the burger with your hands. The slices of chicken that they put in the burger will end up falling out of your burger when you try. The meat had a good seasoning, I liked the taste but it was a bit too salty for us. Overall it didn't compare to KoKoBana, but that is just our honest opinion. When it comes to aesthetics they win, but the dishes that we tried lacked that satisfying feeling that we foodies crave. We paid for our meal and went our way. Here is a short video of our lunch at The Coffee Box in Paramaribo. I can't wait to share my next adventures with you guys!

Paint Shopping And Food Stop At Warung Resa

Paint Shopping And Food Stop At Warung Resa Hello Story Time friends, welcome back! I'm taking you along on another vlog. This video was made on a hectic day. I split the content of my adventures into different parts. So make sure you subscribe and stay tuned. There are a lot of stories that I still have to finish. I wish I had more time for my creative projects. But with my lifestyle in Suriname that is not realistic! Anyway, we're going paint shopping in different stores. I visited HJ De Vries, Malhoe's Building Materials, and a Historex retailer. When we were done combing through stores for our project, I was hungry and tired! So we decided to go to Warung Resa. Their Javanese food reminds me of my late grandmother's and aunt's cooking. It's flavorful and authentic. We had the Gudanang and the Long Tong Tahoe. Both are traditional dishes in Javanese culture. Long Tong Tahoe is made with bean sprouts, Tahoe, and chicken. It's then drizzled with a spicy

Green Key Expo At Torarica

Green Awareness Expo At Torarica Hola mi amigos welcome back to a new Story Time adventure! There is a vibrant city in the beating heart of the Amazon rainforest! This city is rich with multi-ethnic culture and flavorful food. Of course, I am talking about Paramaribo. Living in the Amazon Rainforest, we're surrounded by greenery. But these parts of the Amazon Rainforest haven't been unaffected by global warming. The recent droughts where multiple rivers and creeks were empty is an example. The gold mining and wood exploitation that happens in our jungles is affecting the beauty of our land. Protecting the Amazon Rainforest means protecting the lungs of the world. Green awareness is a topic that's often mentioned in this part of the world. Hotel Torarica organized a Green Key fair and of course, I had to visit! Now I can finally share the Story with you guys! Creating these Story Time episodes takes a lot of work. So I'd appreciate it if you subscribe and join our tri

Shadows Of Love

Shadows Of Love Sometimes you must shuffle the deck a few times to be dealt the right hand. And sometimes you meet that King Of Hearts in the first move that the game will demand. In the shadows of love, there are many secrets hidden. Something about you felt familiar, calm, and at the same time forbidden. I wonder what the universe was conspiring when our paths crossed. From a distance, I felt your eyes capture my soul. Maybe this is a story that should never be told! But they say that if you want to enter the paradise of lovers you have to pay the toll! A friend once asked me a question, he said: " What is it you are looking for now that we are getting old?". I told him I wanted someone who could spark my mind, soul, and maybe my inner sexual being. After he exposed the beauty hidden in my poetry, thoughts kept flirting with this hidden feeling. Sometimes we need the right people to ask us the right questions! But sometimes when the ones we hide in our hearts want to kno

Story time with Donovan Dongo, Dongo brothers selected for W.W.E

Storytime with Donovan Dongo, Dongo Brothers selected The Dongo brothers holding the Surinamese flag in front of the W.W.E performance center in America. Today I have some good news for the people of Suriname. I know I am a bit late with this story, but what can I say. I have been having problems with my Internet provider for a while now. If you live in Suriname, you probably can relate. But on with Storytime, today we are going to talk about the Dongo brothers. These guys have proven that dreams do come true, with a lot of hard work and effort. The World Wrestling Entertainment (W.W.E) has selected Donovan and Leandro Dongo to represent Suriname.

Blogger notes: Happy new year! Storytime in 2022

Happy new year, Storytime in 2022 Hi guys, I want to wish all of you a happy new year. I am learning to stay positive no matter the circumstances. Throughout the years I have become a professional at it. The weird thing is, the better I get at it the better my skills become. I have to say I am proud of myself for getting through last year. There were some painful lessons, as usual. I have come to learn that they are a part of the journey that helps me build my successes. The more I embraced positivity the less my anxiety became. Anxiety can be a messed-up demon, but the warrior in me kind of grew tired of it and decided to stab it. That's the problem when you know how strong you are. The only thing is, I just wasn't in a hurry to grow up. Especially if you grew up in the public eye like I did. But I have no regrets. Because each step that I made in life also led me to beautiful people and beautiful experiences. The more content I feel with my life, the more my inn
