🥣 Story Time: A Taste of China in the Heart of Suriname

Hello to my dearest Story Time readers from around the world! 🌍 How have you all been? I’m doing great, staying busy and balancing a lot on my plate—literally and figuratively! The good news is, I’m making more time than ever to create content for all of you. ✨

For this edition of Story Time, we are visiting a legendary spot in Paramaribo: the famous Chi Min restaurant. 🥡

Located right near the city's hotspots like Torarica and the Waterkant, Chi Min has been a staple for years and remains one of my absolute favorite places to visit. If you’re planning a trip, here are a few "must-try" items from my personal highlight reel:

• The Sizzling Hot Plate: It’s not just delicious; it’s a performance! 🥘 Watching it arrive at your table is half the fun.

• Garlicky Shrimp & Spicy Squid: I am obsessed with their garlicky seasoning. Whether I get the seafood mix or just an extra side of shrimp, it never misses. 🍤🔥

• Wonton Shrimp Soup: I usually start my meal with this. It’s so good I might actually be addicted!

• Hong Kong Nasi: Top this with some shrimp, and you have an instant winner. 🏆

During this visit, we also tried the Hot and Sour Soup. 🥣 It hit the spot! Just a heads-up: it can get very busy here. If you want the best seat in the house and shorter wait times, I recommend visiting in the morning. ☀️

For drinks, I almost always stick to juice. I mean, have you tasted Surinamese fruit juice? 🍹 It’s so good I’m drooling just writing this! Don't be afraid to be open to the tastes of Suriname; just ask the friendly staff for a recommendation.

The service is always wonderful, and they even have Wi-Fi available in the dining room—just ask the staff for the password. 📱

I’ve put together a short video of my latest visit to Chi Min for you guys below. I hope you enjoy it! 📽️
