Beni's Christmas Palace In Suriname

 Beni's Christmas Palace In Suriname Just like in the photo above this text, I am okay but I am not completely okay. I feel awful on the inside and for a long time it was difficult to find the motivation to return to blogging.  Tomorrow's Christmas, so I mustered all of my strength to at least finish another episode. I've been gone for a while because as usual, life got hectic. But this time in a bad way! As you guys know a while ago I started a company in Suriname. Most of my days were spent creating Story Time episodes, working, doing social work or going along to get a taste of the field.  When we go to clients, sometimes I get to see awesome places. Or in between on our journeys we tend to make pitstops. This Story Time episode is supposed to be about my visit to Beni's Christmas palace. But let me tell you about what happened after that first. Just so you can understand how my Christmas spirit, transformed in the energy of mourning. People see the good, but I'l...

Let's Try Javanese Food From Warung Mbah Paidjah

 Javanese Food From Warung Mbah Paidjah

"Let's Eat with Shachem Lieuw"


Hello my Story Time friends, today The Story Time U.F.O. 👽👾🛸 is once again landing in a small South American Country called Suriname. Well, small in population but about 4 times the size of the Netherlands. Our journey takes us to the year 2023 in Paramaribo Noord. We land at Blauwgrond, a popular food destination for locals and tourists. In this area, you will find many Javanese Warungs selling food. It's kind of like the Surinamese version of late-night street food. The Warungs also offer their services during the day, but they are more frequently visited at night time. Grabbing a bite to eat with friends or family at Blauwgrond has become a part of the Surinamese nightlife culture.  I went to Warung Mbah Paidjah with my friends and I'm taking you guys along on this Surinamese foodie adventure. Javanese food is very popular in Surinam thanks to its delicious flavors.😍😋We picked out this Warung among all of the Javanese restaurants in Blauwgrond because it was the least crowded. Most of the other Warungs were fully occupied and others I had already visited for my blog. 😉 See, behind the scenes I do put in the effort to create and share these Story Time productions with you guys! 💓So don't forget to subscribe or follow! By becoming a part of the Story Time Tribe you'll be the first to get my adventures zapped in your mail.📬We got a table at Warung Mbah Paidjah, just in time. Because right after we took a seat the crowds came pouring in. We started off with our drinks and I have to say that the Dawet surprised me! Dawet is a popular Javense drink made with lemongrass. I had it a number of times but this one was so refreshing because it was made with coconut water. 🥥The Coconut water enhanced the flavors of the Dawet. It was a refreshing stimulant for my tastebuds.🧉🍹Just what I needed after a long stressful day in the heat. I ordered the Yellow rice nasi with Goedangang or as we say in Suriname "Gele rijst met Goedangang!". My friends ordered the Long Tong Tahoe. Both the dishes were worth the wait. The Yellow rice with Goedangang came with an egg and baked potato sambal.🌶Javanese food is often spicey. But this dish was one to make you lick your fingers. Warung Mbah Paidjah impressed me with the quality of their food. All the dishes that we tried were authentic Javanese dishes that have been around in Suriname since our ancestors first immigrated here from Indonesia. In case you're wondering what Goedangan is, it's long beans combined with bean sprouts and grated coconut that are cooked to have a sweet and spicy flavor.
