Chinese Food in Suriname

Hi guys,

I'm here again with a new adventure with food of course!?

So here in Suriname the most common food to get when you're lazy, or don't have time to cook or just want to eat something different then your every day food is CHINESE FOOD.

Almost every neighborhood has at least one Chinese restaurant serving a variety of dishes.

For instance around my area you have 4 to 6 Chinese restaurants, it doesn't matter which street you'll be walking or driving through you will see a Chinese restaurant. Most of the Chinese restaurants are focused on take out. Almost all of them have a dine in option available, but it's nothing fancy. I guess the whole idea is for people to take their food to home. Since 3 november 2019 the government of Suriname has prohibited its citizens to use foam products, so when ordering food for take out we get eco friendly trays. Coming back at the food section the most popular dishes from the Chinese restaurants are: fried rice, fried noodles, Hong Kong fried rice or noodles, spicy chicken, pork, chicken soup, chapsoi (vegetables with chicken or seafood in a thick starch sauce).  Every Chinese restaurant uses their own secret recipes for  the preparation of the dishes. Tjauwmin (fried noodles) and nasi (fried rice) are standard dishes  you can find at a local Chinese Restaurant.
