Lunch At Hotel Torarica

Intercontinental hotel in the Dominican Republic

 Eating at the InterContinental hotel in the                                   Dominican Republic

"Creme Brulee from the InterContinental hotel in the Dominican Republic"



Hello my dearest Story Time friends around the world, how have you been? Today I am taking you on a food adventure in the Dominican Republic.  For this food adventure, we are heading to the InterContinental hotel in Santo Domingo. As you guys know I was in The Dominican Republic for a conference on politics, economy, and technology as a Youth Delegate representing the beautiful country of Suriname. 😏 Now that was a great experience because I got to learn and grow a lot from it. This conference was held at the InterContinental hotel where there were guest speakers from different countries that have a lot of experience in the field of politics, economy, and technology. I didn't want to miss any part of the conference so despite landing early that same morning due to the flight delays I didn't want to sleep in and miss anything.  What I did was enjoy a warm bath in the gorgeous bathtub that they had at El Embajador a Royal Hideaway hotel and headed to the lobby. From the lobby, we were brought to the InterContinental hotel where we could check-in for the CAPP ( Centre for the Analysis of Public Policy)  conference. CAPP also had other partners with whom they executed this event.

But we'll talk about the content of the conference in another Story Time episode. In this Story Time episode, we will be talking about the food at the InterContinental hotel in the Dominican Republic. During the conference, we got served food. When it comes to the presentation of the food I give the InterContinental hotel an A+.

" Salad from the InterContinental hotel in Santo Domingo"



But when it comes to food, it's so much more than presentation. It's the taste, the experience, and the way my tastebuds feel after. Especially for Surinamese people. I have to admit that the highlight of my entire dining experience at the InterContinental hotel is the Creme Brulee. Not only did it look this fabulous but when comes to taste it didn't disappoint. It was certainly better than the Creme Brulees that I had in Suriname. The Creme Brulee wasn't too sweet and I loved how creamy it was. Highly addictive, so much so that right now I am craving some more.  Their pastry chef deserves a raise! I wasn't really a fan of the salad. It was a bit bitter tasting for me, and Surinamese people aren't really used to bitter things in their food. Something I have noticed Dominicans do enjoy, or that I assume based on the places I have been to eat. I don't know what gives it that bitter taste, but I have tasted it in other dishes that I have tried while in the Dominican Republic. So I passed the salad, I can eat bitter drops but with the salad, it was a no for me. 

" Dinner plate with Chicken and Pork from the InterContinental hotel in Santo Domingo"

I don't eat pork so I couldn't have the pork that they served. The Green looking mashed potatoes had the same bitter-tasting sauce. So even that didn't make it to the finish line with me. I don't mean to sound rude or disrespectful to anyone's food preferences. But like I said this Surinamese tongue didn't really dig the bitter food vibes. That's probably because we aren't so used to it in our diet. I did like how juicy the chicken was. It cut so smoothly, and it was well cooked.

"Bread from the InterContinental hotel in Santo Domingo"


They also gave us bread with butter as an appetizer. The bread was fresh, flaky, and soft. I liked how you could taste butter on it without having to use the butter. The staff was friendly and didn't mind changing my order when I told them that I didn't eat pork or beef. When it comes to service they certainly do know their etiquette especially when it comes to setting up a dining table. I made a video for you guys of my experience during the conference at the InterContinental Hotel in Santo Domingo. I hope you like it and don't forget to subscribe to my blog when the Story Time U.F.O. pops up. The only downside of the experience was that they wouldn't give us as conference attendees the wifi password. Apparently, it's something they reserve for hotel guests only. I guess every establishment in every country has its own rules. In Suriname when a hotel is booked for a meeting or a conference everyone gets access to free wifi. Even when you just visit the hotel pools you can connect to their wifi. Either way, I had quite a memorable food adventure at the InterContinental hotel. It will go down in my memory as the first day I tasted bitter food, but at least the Creme Brulee made it all okay, and ended up saving my day! Until next time right here on Story Time.

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

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
