Visiting Rio's Food And Walking Through Paramaribo

Hello my foodie friends, how have you been? I'm back with another adventure from warm tropical Suriname! This time, I am taking you guys to Rio's Food. They are a popular breakfast spot for most working people in the area. Rio's Food is located in the Koningstraat ( King Street in Dutch) right across Kirpalani. This restaurant sells all kinds of Surinamese food. On their menu, they have bread that you can try with popular Surinamese fillings. I chose a bread filled with chicken liver. You can also buy Bami, Nasi, Pom, and other popular Surinamese dishes from Rio's food. On certain days they sell fish eggs in Massala! That's one of my favorite things to order from Rio's food. If you find yourself traveling through Paramaribo and you want to give the local dishes a try, Rio's Food is the place to be. Some of their dishes are so local, that you can't find them in restaurants. These dishes are mostly homemade by Surinamese natives. But that's where Rio's Food does things differently compared to other Surinamese restaurants. I love that because it makes it easier for foreigners to access and try the authentic flavors of the Surinamese kitchen. They also sell dinner, but keep in mind that Rio's restaurant isn't open till late at night. After I had my breakfast I'm taking you guys on a short walk in Paramaribo. We're walking down the Dr. Sophie Redmond straat. A popular street in Paramaribo, where we pass the Vice President his office. I found a bottle of Esteller in the store, and I was surprised at how much they nailed the taste, for a bottled product! Esteller is a popular Javanese drink that is almost like a dessert. The sweet drink has fruits and cornstarch balls in it. It was very refreshing! If you're visiting Suriname and you see Esteller in the store, get that! Especially, if you are a sweet tooth like me.😊I also found some delicious Strawberry milk. These days I'm leaning more towards the Strawberry flavors.

As usual, I made a vlog of my day in Paramaribo for you guys. I do enjoy sharing what life in Suriname is like! It has made blogging a lot more fun for me. There are so many things that people don't know about this South American/Caribbean country. Most of those things I hope to explore with you on my Story Tine blog.

Ride Eats, is a Surinamese app that allows you to order food from all participating restaurants. You can download this app from the Android and Apple Play Store. We decided to give Wolly's a chance. I ordered from Wolly's Latour, but they didn't have any drivers inside. Thus, the order was quickly denied. I tried again and ordered from Wolly's Coppename Straat. This time it was a success and our food was on the way. 🛵😃We ordered a Wolly's chicken burger with cheese, a  cheeseburger, and the famous Shoarma patat. That just means shoarma and fries in Dutch. I uploaded some videos of that on my Youtube Shorts and someone commented that the Shoarma with fries looked gross. Well, my friends, in Suriname looks can be very deceiving.😉Because the food delivery came with the motorcycle we got the sauces separate. I forgot to make a video of what it looks like with all the sauces on top of it. But I'm pretty sure that you can find the Shoarma from Wolly's in my previous Story Time episodes.😆 The Shoarma Patat from Wolly's is one of their most popular menu items! It's what their brand is famous for among locals. The fries are topped with peanut sauce! Let me clarify that, Surinamese Peanut sauce. We don't do the nasty peanut butter version! Our Peanut sambal is made from fresh ingredients and involves the real deal. The sweet crunchy sauce is loved by Surinamese people and paired with many meat dishes. Sometimes we even put it on top of our noodles ( Bami, a Surinamese Javanese dish made with noodles). If by this point my Story has made you drool for the flavors of my country, it's a sign for you to become a part of the Story Time tribe.  Enjoy the video guys and until next time. 😋

What's you're favorite Surinamese food? Let me know in the comments and that might become our next Story Time subject. Lots of love from the tropical South. 😊
