Suriname food is such an amazing fusion! Indian, native American with native South American ingredients, African, Chinese, Indinesian, Carib, Portugese and Dutch! It is all here - all these groups live in Suriname so: total fusion like no where else!

Nice to see you enjoyed the Surinam food so much, it really is ‘lekker’. I might suggest you’d try some Indonesian food next. Saté ayam, rendang daging sapi, sambal goreng tempeh, gado gado, sajoer boontjes and bami rames. I already start drooling thinking about it.😁

Suriname is a melting pot of cultures and within a family you can see usually a whole range of coloring :-) Because of the darned Dutchies with their plantations and need for employees (YES... I am ashamed to say they were slavetraders..) A lot of influences came to Suriname: African, Javanese (Indonesian), Chinese, Jewish and the natives of course. It all went into a big melting pot. And resulted in this delicious food! And beautiful people! And unique language ! And very creative family names :)

I hope you eat more Surinamese food because their are more dishes to taste like: Surinamese Roti with chicken and potatoes in Massala (not the wrap version). Surinamese Javaanse Bami and more. I am born in The Netherlands but my parents are from Suriname. My grandparents are from India and Fiji. Suriname was a dutch colonial in wich The Dutch had African slaves their and later Contract Laborers from India, Indonesia Java, and more. It is why the food is so heavily like mixed with influences. This also counts for the Dutch Antilles Islands.😊 And in Suriname allot speak dutch to.

Saoto soup is a surinamese from Java, Telo is Cassave, fish/call Tri and peper.. It's not a snack it ia a small fish with peper. Bread pom is good, Suriname Jew. Nassy Goreng brown rice with all kind of things is also Suriname from Java, Bami Moksi meti look you wright as spagetti, it's also good, Tjauw Min is Suriname Chinese. There are a lot more. Suriname Kitchen is the best There are more Surinamese kitchen. kip sate is also Suriname from Java. There are a lot more Surinamse ktichen I see that you also taste it, Suriname India kitchen. No it's from India Bara is from India.Original bara has that kind of things in, but that chicken and other things is of the last 20 years. Bara It's not bread, it is made of flower, but they sell it with meat these days. Roti is also good, look ike a pancake, with chicken, patato, etc. last one i don't know. bread with meat. All Suriname food has peper, tomato, cucumber in vinegar. There are a lot of Suriname food and it is the best in the world. Find a Suriname friend and let he learn you you make it yourself.

Can't wait for the "RIJST TAFEL" (rice table) episode. There must be a Toko and/or Indonesian restaurant willing to support this culinary "invention" of the Dutch. In the 17th century ... and even after WWII, the Dutch claimed Indonesia and many have emigrated/found refuge in the Netherlands since. The Dutch "rijst tafel" came from the desire to enjoy ALL tastes on the menu, but in smaller portions. (note: This can not be an episode without some friends / neighbours). Selemat Makan

We're not proud of that at all but we should be thankful for all the good food it brought to us. I'm lucky to have so many Surinam an Curaçao friends and family who cook the best recipies for me.

I'm beaming with pride because I'm Surinamese-Dutch as well, and I love seeing you trying out my and other delicious cuisines as well. Enjoy!!! Edited to say: when eating sambal and yout mouth starts burning, do not drink water but eat some rice or a piece of bread. Even a sip of milk helps more than water alone. Both the bara and the roti are from our Hindu-Surinamese community; bhami and nasi (fried rice) are from our Javanese and Chinese brethren, and the telo is from our African descendants. Suriname has a mixed population: Creole (of mixed African descent), the Maroons (descendants of the runaway African slaves who are still living deep within the forests) Hindustans (the largest population group), Javanes, Chinese and our beloved Native-Americans. The majority speaks Dutch and Surinamese alongside their ethnic groups' own languages, and we all mix and get along. Nearly all Surinamese families have atleast three members of all ethnic groups in their family tree. My paternal grandparents are Scottish, Chinese and Creole; my maternal grandparents were Creole from Barbados and British Guyana mixed Chinese, Hindu and Native so you understand that parties are always lit with great food and music.

@ Mya Felicia - Teloh is geen Afrikaans gerecht, maar een Javaans gerecht. Waarom denk je anders dat het meestal bij Javaanse warungs verkrijgbaar is? In Afrika en Zuid-Amerika komt de cassaveplant/wortel ook voor, maar daar wordt het anders klaar gemaakt. Zij eten het meestal gekookt, in soep of maken er brood van. De Javanen eten het gefrituurd. Teloh (oorspronkelijk télâ) is afgeleid van het Javaanse woord ketélâ (ook bekend als ketelah), wat cassave betekent. Oorspronkelijk werd het gegeten met ikan teri (ansjovis)/sambal goreng teri , maar doordat het niet altijd verkrijgbaar was, is men ook bakkeljauw gaan gebruiken. Bakkeljauw komt oorspronkelijk uit Portugal (in het Portugees heet het bacalao) en dat hebben de Portugese Joden, die via Brazilië in Suriname terecht zijn gekomen, meegenomen. Bami goreng en nasi goreng zijn Indonesische gerechten. De Chinese varianten zijn tjauw fan/chow fan (nasi goreng) en tjauw min/chow min (bami goreng). Nasi is het Maleisisch woord voor rijst en goreng betekent gebakken. Witte rijst is “nasi putih” in het Maleis. Saoto is het Javaanse woord voor soep. Dus, als je zegt: "saoto soep", dan zeg je eigenlijk "soep soep".
@myafelicia
@myafelicia 2 года назад
@delilah9876 Wij gebruiken wel de Chinese versies en woorden (tjaw min en tjaw fan) thuis en in de tokos. Maar ik denk dat men de Indonesische termen zijn gaan gebruiken om het voor Nederlandse klanten gemakkelijker te maken want onze gerechten smaken echt niet hetzelfde als de Indonesische gerechten. Ik geloof wel dat wat wij nu eten echt een mix is van Chinees en Javaans, want ik herinner me nog dat ik stomverbaasd was toen ik in London in een Chinees restaurant Tjauw Min had gegeten dat bijna voor de volle 100% als onze tjauw min smaakte! Over de cassave: ik heb de afgelopen jaren van diverse Afrikaanse kennissen andere origines gehoord waarbij velen beweren dat zij ook de telo frituren. Ik weet dat onze telo idd Javaans is, maar Ik geloof hen ook op hun woord zoals ik jou geloof; het geeft alleen maar aan dat door de ontstane melting pot onze voorouders elkanders voedsel accepteerden en daardoor deel van ons cultuur werd. En ja, heb is echt grappig hoe het Javaanse woord voor soep de naam voor het gerecht saoto (dus soep) is geworden! Bakkeljauw schijnt Noors te zijn en is idd al eeuwen populair in Europa geweest. De Nederlanders brachten bakkeljauw al vanaf het begin mee naar hun kolonies. Echter, de Portugese bakkeljauw wordt anders klaargemaakt volgens mijn Portugese vriendin (al denk ik ook dat het ook per regio verschilt?) - onze tot slaaf gemaakte voorouders hebben idd het woord overgenomen van hen. Bedankt voor de uitgebreide uitleg!!! Echt gaaf! Kijken of mijn tantes het gaan accepteren dat onze telo echt alleen Javaans is. Bid voor mijn welzijn en geduld, hahahahaha! Oh, nog één vraagje: weet jij de oorsprong van onze Pom?

@delilah9876 2 года назад
@@myafelicia - Het zou heel goed kunnen dat jullie de Chinese benamingen hanteerden, maar in mijn omgeving gebeurde dat alleen bij de afhaal Chinees. Ik ben opgegroeid met de Javaanse keuken (mijn vader is half Javaans en half Arowak, maar de Javaanse cultuur domineerde in zijn ouderlijk huis en daardoor ook in mijn ouderlijk huis en hij was meestal degene die kookte). De woorden nasi goreng en bami goreng hadden niets te maken met de Nederlandse klanten; ze werden vroeger in Suriname al gebruikt; ik heb geen enkele klant ooit tjauw fan horen zeggen als ze in een Javaanse warung nasi goreng bestelden. Niet in Suriname en niet in Nederland. En bij ons al helemaal niet. Dat deed men bij de Chinees. Bovendien smaken tjauw fan en tjauw min anders dan nasi goreng en bami goreng. De Chinezen gebruiken andere kruiden en de samenstelling van hun sojasaus is ook anders dan de Javaanse ketjap asin of ketjap manis. Pom is van oorsprong een Joods gerecht. Maar, zij maakten het met aardappelen. De Engelse versie heet Shepherd’s pie/cottage pie. De slaven moesten dit gerecht voor hun Joodse meesters maken en hebben er later hun eigen twist aan gegeven met tayer enzo

Best part of indonesian food is , there are as many variaties and dishes as there are islands in indonesia . plus a lot of other asian influances as well the chinees have been a big influance ase did the malayans a lot of fusion dishes . So every restaurant can or does have its own twist on a dish from their own regions. Indonesian food is still a huge part of Dutch miltary and maritime sector usualy 1x a week there will be an indonesian meal .

Rice table is an excellent way to sample many dishes, but ordering the classic way: rice, a vegetable side dish, a sambal dish and/or meat and a pickle (atjar) gets you more balance on your plate. In The Hague, Toko Frederik is an excellent first address for this, because you can select your dishes from the "vitrine" and their staff are very helpful

On Indonesian food.which is defenitely worth a try, it's important not to confuse them. There's authentic Indonesion food, rice table is the Dutch luxury addition but that doesn't change the food itself. That's in pretty fancy restaurants, especially in The Hague, has often a particular Indonesian island or region dominating the kitchen. It's also in take away, but usually not the cheap take aways. Simply great food. Then there is "de Chinees", this is Indonesia inspired food made by Chinese to Dutch taste. This has been in the Netherlands since the 50's and in the early 2000's every village over 2000 inhabitants in any backwater had at least one of those Chinese-Indonesian restaurant with take away, more than a 3rd of all restaurants would be this kind. Allthough seperate businesses they all looked the same quasi Asian because they bought their interior from the same business, and had almost the same menu's. It's not great food as above but it's great take away and cheap dining, as a kind of fast food. And it's always enough for two days. Worth a try in it's own right but it's in decline the last decade, in small villages and not too fancy neighbourhoods in the bigger cities there are still some doing the traditional non authentic Chinese-Indonesian menu, which is Chinese nor Indonesian. The navy's nasi is famous. Nasi has been a Dutch home cooking regular since the 50's too, even earlier. It's not necessarily bad but it tends to disappoint Indonesian and Surinamese guests. You've had the bami bal, which is just one of many examples of Indonesian cuisine trickling down into the dark underbelly of Dutch taste. The peanut sauce (called sateh sauce but sateh is the marinade) is in every snackbar and often combined with meatball or berehap (my snackbar favorite) and frozen satehs come as cheap as 40cts for three stikcs with sauce, sambal has made it's way into pea soup, kroepoek is eaten like crisps, katjang pedis with the beers etc. We don't always do Indonesian cuisine justice but that's not for lack of love.

You just went through a week's worth of food in less than half an hour lol Surinamese food is great, very glad you've discovered it too now! Next up: Chinese-Indonesian, which has an interesting overlap (nasi, bami & sate are all Indonesian for example). Do try them again though, because they have their own style going and it's interesting to compare similarities and differences.

"Lekker" that made me cry. I can hear my mom and my grandmother in my ear. I can also hear them laughing about my father. Who wanted to be a big tough guy. And he could eat some EXTREMELY hot fish and pepper dish. "Pepasan" (probably spelled that completely wrong lol) and ended up with his head under the kitchen sink, drinking water out of the faucet. Two Dutch women having to tackle him. To get a piece of bread in his mouth. And milk down his gullet. 🤣This brought me home. Thank you ❤️

Love the review of Surinam food. The other major influence in Dutch food culture is Indonesia. I do not know any good Indonesian restaurants in your area, but I'd highly recommend you get an Indonesian Rice Table. The Indonesian Rice Table was a colonial Dutch way of giving their guests a taste of a LOT of Indonesian dishes in small portions, usually started with the least spicy and building it up.

FYI: Bara (your chicken filled "doughnut") is a Hindustani (Indian) snack, made of a mixture of mainly ground beans, chickpeas, flour and a diversity of herbs. Can be filled but is mostly just eaten with various Chutneys ("Sambals" but different). One of my favorites, but best eaten freshly fried, so it still is crunchy!

Rotti is indian flat bread, it has (rotti = "bread", same roots), long green beans, potatoes, and chicken, ( careful, hopefully no bones... not everybody takes good care..) , in it. The flat bread is supposed to be used as "fork" or "spoon", u use the bread to pick up the food with your hands using pieces of the flatbread. That last one looks like a non-kosher form of shoarma/kebab ;) Suriname is a mixing pot of Native Americans, Africans, Javanese, Hindustani, Jews, Dutch, Chinese...I forgot a few... and their kitchens.. So India, Indonesia, west Africa, ( Ghana), Asia, Europe, (hence the Cod).

I totally understand with the amount of food you got that you went for the roti roll instead of the full roti meal. But I highly recommend it. Often it comes in two flavors. Rotti Kip Kerrie and Roti Kip Ketjap, Always make sure to ask the vendor about the level of spicyness.

Wow!! You two just seem to love life to the max! And why not!! Good for you, enjoy every traveling day because isn't life just a big travel??? Love the channel, thanks! (my fav in Rotterdam is the Holland America history - pre airline times people travelled by ship and Rotterdam held the role which today is Schiphol! The wide body jet made the SS Rotterdam transfer to cruise ship, but built as a liner: Rotterdam - NYC and tons of American immigrant families left Europe via Rotterdam. You van still find a few 'old folk', sometimes as tour volunteers on the SS Rotterdam who can tell tales of the time. Rotterdam was a major passenger transfer town! Maybe you've seen remnants of it? How funnest to visit the SS Rotterdam? By high speed water taxi! Another part of this history: Hotel New York which was the terminal building (not a hotel) and HQ of the Holla d America Line. Rotterdam is very transatlantic in its roots!

ABOUT LITTLE V In 2006 restaurateur Tan Do opened the doors to Little V The Hague, a small establishment in the heart of the city. Driven by the idea to leave a mark on the masses and let them get to know the Vietnamese kitchen. Around the clock the concept was realized, but no matter where it would lead the restaurant was built with one important philosophy. Little V had to serve great food, with hands on personal service combined with an attentively designed interior. In 2009 Little V Rotterdam opened his doors. Now ten years later and several expansions further, Little V The Hague and little V Rotterdam, have grown to established names in the Vietnamese cuisine.
