Traveling in the city of Paramaribo, visiting Het Pannekoek & Poffertjes cafe, Ketmien, and Alegria's playground

Hello my dearest Story Time friends from around the world, how are you? I am excited to share this new Story Time food adventure with you.

In today's Story, we are going on a food adventure in Paramaribo. After I had a wonderful time enjoying my breakfast Etagere at Tangelo's I went to Het Pannekoek & Poffertjes cafe to meet a dear friend of mine. Tangelo isn't far from Het Pannekoek & Poffertjes cafe. It's right around the corner on the famous Van Sommeldijckstraat #11. You can't miss it, it has a nice open terras design. When I arrived there I found a nice spot to sit. While sitting in this Surinamese restaurant you have a great view of the street. At night this street can be very busy. It's a popular hangout spot for locals and tourists. While my stomach was processing the breakfast I had, I ordered a Pina Colada.🧉

When my Pina colada arrived I was already busy writing behind my laptop. As you guys noticed, I am getting a lot more writing done.😎😊That's something I am proud of. Making time, for this Story Time blog that I am so passionate about, just to keep you entertained and informed on your travel and food adventures in Suriname and other parts of the world that we end up in. This Pina Colada was more on the coconut side. I enjoyed taking sips while letting my inspiration flow out as I am working on my new book. Wish me lots of luck with that,😊when my friend arrived I put the laptop away to focus on our meeting together. At least I am one of those people who is polite like that. Suriname is a tropical country, which means you won't always be able to control the environment. While I was busy ordering food for us a fly got stuck in my straw. When I noticed it, it was too late. I didn't even finish my drink. I asked the waitress for some water, but she advised me to go drink water from their bathroom tap. After covid, there are just some things I don't mess with. Drinking water from a public bathroom tap is one of them. So I ordered some water instead, just to wash down the taste of the bug that was in my straw. The shrimp platter seemed interesting, so we ordered that with some fries and a chicken burger.

The bread was a bit heavy but the shrimp was well seasoned. The fries were okay and the salad well, it helped fill the plate for the price that you pay. I don't mind dishing out the money to pay for food, as long as it's worth it! But because I had such an impressive and grand breakfast I didn't finish much of the food. Next time I will visit Het Pannekoek & Poffertjes Cafe again just to eat different dishes on their menu and then I'll write a story about that. More motivation for you to subscribe to my Story Time blog. After we left Het Pannekoek & Poffertjes cafe I went to Ketmien. A Surinamese store that sells beauty products, cosmetics, and more. I forgot to film the shopping part for you guys. Next time I'll make up for that, but I did manage to get some awesome products for my curly hair. Like Cantu for example, coconut milk hydrating curly hair cream and this honey hair food oil. All the hair products smell really good and I immediately noticed the results in the shape and structure of my curls after using these hair products. We went to Alegria, and I went to play games. But the machine got me, I should have known better.😂😒😓😔😕

When I was a child my grandfather would take me to Alegria in the Keizer straat all the time to get Ice cream. I have positive memories of this place. It has changed a lot, for the better. I love the jungle theme that they implemented and the waterworks. It's been over a year since I last been to the Alegria in Paramaribo, and they have been busy upgrading the place. The waterworks was very relaxing for me, and the kid's playground is every child's playday fantasy. I wish they had something like that when I was a kid. Might build an adult version of this playground just to satisfy my inner child.👀😏. At Alegria in Paramaribo you have to buy coins if you want to play certain games. Just like the Alegria in Lelydorp, they sell Ice cream that is made here, and fast food like burgers, fried chicken, hotdogs etcetera. I made a video about my adventure through Paramaribo for you guys. I hope you enjoy it, and I can't wait to share more of my adventures with you.
