Back to Commewijne: A Fresh Take on Warung Shaqien!

 🚀 Back to Commewijne: A Fresh Take on Warung Shaqien! 🍲 Greetings, Story Time friends! It’s your captain, Shachem Lieuw from Story Time Productions, reporting for duty! 🛸 Today, we are taking a trip down memory lane and heading back to the beautiful district of Commewijne ! 🌿 As you might remember from my previous blog posts, I’ve featured the legendary Warung Shaqien before. But hold onto your seats, because things have changed—and for the better! 💨 A Cool Upgrade ❄️ You know how the Surinamese sun likes to turn up the heat? Well, Warung Shaqien has officially leveled up with new indoor AC dining ! It is the perfect sanctuary to escape the tropical blaze while digging into some classic Javanese comfort food. 🍜 The Feast 🍱 We kept it traditional with some of my absolute favorites—the very same dishes you’ve seen during my many Story Time transmissions: Long Tong Tahoe: Perfectly textured and seasoned. 🍢 Saoto Soup with Ketjap: The ultimate soul-soother. 🥣 I also dec...

Sweets & Brews By Nas: A Much-Needed Breakfast Escape in Paramaribo ☕️✨

Hello, fellow foodies! Welcome back to another Story Time Productions adventure. I know, I’ve been a bit AWOL lately—takes a deep breath—but life in Suriname has a way of keeping me incredibly busy! 😅

Between wearing many hats and managing my latest development projects at Thermo-Dynamic Solutions N.V., my schedule has been packed with extensive research and late-night planning. I’ll share more about those professional "Blogger Notes" soon, but let’s just say the early mornings and late nights have been the "new normal."

The Hustle vs. Self-Care 🏗️⚖️

They say all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. In the world of entrepreneurship, you are constantly extinguishing fires. It’s a craft that tests your wit and resolution every single minute—balancing client needs, operational hurdles, and the shifting economy.

Everyone loves the "sparkle" of success, but rarely do they see the burns you endure to light those fireworks. However, burning all my energy without self-care and great food just isn't sustainable. That’s why my friends and I made a pact to prioritize "us" time.

Discovering Sweets & Brews by Nas 🥐

One of my close friends recently dragged me away from my busy path to enjoy the simple pleasure of smelling fresh coffee. She chose a highly recommended spot in Paramaribo Noord called "Sweets & Brews by Nas." We arrived on a Monday morning, and even for the start of the week, the place was buzzing! The moment the door opened, the scent of freshly brewed beans flirted with our nostrils. My expectations were high, and the cozy atmosphere did not disappoint.

The Food Hunt: Crunchy Baguettes & Lattes 🥯☕

The menu had some seriously tempting options. Here is what hit our table:

  • My Choice: The Chicken Baguette. It was perfectly crunchy, flavorful, and hit that "saucy" sweet spot.

  • The Crew's Picks: A Blueberry Bagel with Smoked Bang Bang (a unique twist!) and a hearty Philly Steak Sandwich.

  • The Caffeine Fix: I opted for a Latte Macchiato. It was a delightful, sweet brew topped with whipped cream and chocolate syrup—exactly the sugar rush I needed to tackle my clients for the rest of the day.
