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...

Foodie Stop At Bano's Place

Foodie's Stop At Bano's Place

" Butter fish and sweet potato chips from Bano's Place In Paramaribo"


Hello friends, your Surinamese pen pal is checking in for another Story Time adventure! I am excited to share this foodie adventure. We are often out in the streets of Suriname to finish our projects. This means we usually start our mornings early and end the night late. If you keep an eye out for my blog episodes, you'll see more of those projects being posted in the future. Because we're always busy, I don't always succeed in posting my stories in the order of how things happen. Fingers crossed that I'll be able to catch up with my content this year. It's been a wild, fun, crazy, and epic journey. In the chapters of my life, that's nothing new. After all, what's a story without a good plot twist? 
Sometimes you come across a story so good, it inspires you to dive straight in. That's just what happens to me, with foodie adventures like this. After a long day of working, we were hungry. My stomach was rumbling and craving something good. We were driving past the hofstraat when I saw a fish stand called Bano's Place. My intuition screamed at me to stop and give it a try. I am glad I often listen to my inner voice. She just knows how to find the good things and solve the craziest problems in life.  We turned the car around and stopped at Bano's Place. It was a cool night and the wind was blowing my hair in all directions. A friendly man greeted us, helped us, and took our order. He recommended that we try some of the fish broth. I tried the broth, and it was delicious, filled with fish, plantain, and other healthy ingredients. It tasted like a Caribbean broth with a Surinamese twist. He mentioned that it was good for digestion. When I got home, I realized that he wasn't kidding. I finished the broth in the car and still had room for the food I bought. I loved how you get a lot of food for the price. The sweet potato chips, mashed potatoes, and macaroni looked great. So I picked those to match with the fried butterfish. I didn't regret a bite! Their food surprised me, excellently. I fell in love with the sauce. It was sweet and made the butterfish taste like a soft dessert. A great condiment that pairs well with each of the side dishes.  The macaroni had a great kick combined with the yellow pepper sauce. With each bite, I grew more surprised with the flavors swarming through my tongue.  I made a vlog of my late-night foodie adventure in Paramaribo. Enjoy the video and until soon! If you're traveling through Paramaribo, I recommend visiting Bano's Place. Speaking of traveling. Are you heading out in the world to seek adventures?
