Surinamese GUEST HOUSE TOUR with Yellow Foot Tortoises | Paramaribo, Suriname
During my time in Paramaribo, Suriname, I stayed in an amazing guest house that I can’t wait to show you! Come along with me as I take you on a tour of the Downtown Oasis and interact with some of the awesome local wildlife!

Check out my top videos!
The Downtown Oasis is a huge house with a pool, gazebo, four hotel-style rooms upstairs, and four apartments. I was staying in one of the apartments!
The Downtown Oasis is located right in the middle of downtown Paramaribo, which means it’s centrally located and perfect for when you want to go out and explore. There are lots of plants around the grounds. My apartment, A2, was right in front of the gazebo, where they have coffee, beer, and hammocks.
My apartment had 2 bedrooms and was very spacious. There was a small living room with two couches and a TV. In the center is a dining room table, and there’s also a sleek, modern kitchen with a freezer and a fridge. There’s a stovetop where you can make eggs, and cabinets filled with pots, cups, and utensils.
There’s also air conditioning in every room. In the kitchen, there’s also a long countertop that I used as a workstation. I set up my laptop there had all of my things charging there. There’s also a microwave.
The second bedroom is small and has a queen-sized bed and a mosquito netting above the bed.
Through a doorway past the microwave is the second part of the apartment, with a nice bathroom with a toilet, faucet, and shower. There was also a double faucet outside the bathroom.
My bedroom had a nice, queen-sized bed and windows that let in lots of natural light. There’s a sink in there and an AC, which I had cranked up to stay cool. There was an extra bed, where I kept my suitcase, and some nice closet space.
From there, I went back outside because I wanted to show you the grounds and the tortoises! Outside is an area with seats where you can chill out when it cools off at night. There are two other apartments further along and an awesome pool. I wanted to jump in!
My favorite feature of the grounds is the tortoise sanctuary, which is something I want to have when I own a property! There are also lots of green iguanas running around.
There’s a beautiful female yellow foot tortoise there. There are six in total and some babies.
I headed back to the gazebo to get a beer. The complex feels very safe. In the gazebo are two small tables and a larger one. I got a Parbo bier from the fridge, which is a light pilsner beer. There’s also a stand that contains lots of brochures for nearby attractions, including the leatherback sea turtles at Galibi, where I’d be going later in the day!
My 48 hours at the Downtown Oasis were fantastic. The owner is really nice, and it has everything you could want or need. I highly recommend staying there at least 2 nights when you come to Paramaribo!
I hope you enjoyed coming on my tour of the Downtown Oasis in Paramaribo! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up, leave me a comment, and subscribe so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food adventures!

Diverse SURINAMESE Food Tour Around the Capital | Paramaribo, Suriname
My first day in Suriname continued with an unforgettable and diverse Surinamese food tour around Paramaribo for lunch! Come along with me as I sample some of the best foods and alcoholic beverages in Suriname and see more of its amazing capital city!

My top videos!
My food tour began with my boy Imro from Jenny Tours at a spot called Wok on Fire, which sells Chinese food! There is a sizeable Chinese population in Suriname because indentured servants from China were came to work in Suriname after slavery was outlawed. This spot is run by Imro’s family, so I couldn’t wait to meet them and try the food!
First, I got some chow mein. It looked phenomenal! It contained chicken and lots of veggies, including peppers. The variety of peppers with the chicken was a fantastic combination. It was so fresh and really hot, temperature-wise. The chicken was nice and tender, and the noodles had a bit of spice to them! I bit into a huge chili and the heat hit me out of nowhere and made me stop for a second! It was like Chinese food with a tropical flair, and I loved it! Best of all, it only cost $3 USD!
From there, we headed out to get a cold beer. It was almost noon and it was in July, so it was scorching out. As we rode to our destination, I could see lots of small, older buildings in the Dutch style and lots of restaurants. We arrived at the Suriname Supermarket and found four types of Atlas beers. They had alcohol content levels of 8.5%, 12%, 14%, and 16%! I got the Mega Strong, which was the 16%. It cost 16 SRD or about $2 USD.
It was strong and was from the Netherlands. It was definitely intense! It’s an American malt beer. Imro and I shared it; if we hadn’t, we would have been in trouble!
From there, we went to Souposo, which is like a soup café. They have a bar and a terrace in the back. Their signature soups are the Crunchy Pinda, which is an African-style soup, and the Saoto Soup, which is more Javanese-style. I went with both and got a refreshing coconut water as well!
The Crunchy Pinda is a creamy, peanut soup with chicken and the Saoto is a thinner, Indo soup with an egg and sprouts. I had some hot sauce, diced chilies, bread, and rice as well.
The Crunchy Pinda was incredible. It was creamy and really filling. I dipped some bread into it, which was amazing. It was like straight peanut butter! The egg in the Saoto had a different taste to it.
The sprouts were nice and crunchy and contained lots of onions. There was also a spicy soy sauce, which I added to the Saoto. It was fantastic! There was also a spicy element that is considered a level 5 of the spice level. It contains cayenne and chilies! I tried a spoonful of it by itself; it wasn’t that bad!
Then I added rice to the Crunchy Pinda, which was insane! I loved it so much. I learned a lot about the soups from my waitress and new friend Soiska, who also brought me a sampler of the soup of the day, which contains brown kidney beans. It was an tasty, creamy vegetarian soup!
Next, Imro took me to the Suriname riverside, where there was an ethnic craft market! There were lots of jewelry, clothes, carved maracas, and more. I found a turtle piggy bank for 50 SRD, or about $8 USD. The vendor even gave me a surprise for being her first customer of the day!
From there, we went to a bar to have a 90% rum, which is the strongest in Suriname! Lai Ghoon is a Chinese bar. There, we tried the Mariënburg rum, which Imro lit on fire inside the cap! It was insanely strong and numbs your whole mouth! We diluted it with water, which still too much! It’s the strongest rum I’ve ever had in my life!
I hope you loved coming with me on my food tour around Paramaribo! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also, please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food adventures!

Surinamese CHINESE & INDONESIAN Breakfast Markets Tour | Paramaribo, Suriname
My second day in Suriname was another epic adventure! I started my day with a breakfast tour of the local markets in the capital of Paramaribo, where I tried some super yummy Chinese and Indonesian foods! Join me as I explore more of Paramaribo!

Check out my top videos!
My buddy and guide Imro from Jenny Tours took me to Independence Park. On Sunday mornings at 6:30, people bring their birds to show them off!
I was super hungry and couldn’t wait to eat! We arrived at the Chinese market, where there were yellow tents selling Chinese street foods. I saw my favorites, pork buns! They also had lots of dumplings. It took me right back to my time in China!
I got a pork bun, a chicken bun, chicken shumai, beef balls, and pork shumai. I started with the pork bun, which I can eat every day in China. It was super juicy and had a nice, flavorful sauce. The pork was really nice and tender and the bun itself was really flaky. It tasted almost the same as the ones in China!
The chicken shumai with soy sauce took me back to Shanghai! The beef ball was gamy and dense. Meanwhile, the pork shumai was tasty and airy. It was my favorite! The only thing that took away from the authenticity was the fact that I was eating it with a fork!
The chicken bun was so good and was filled with chicken and a rich, red-orange sauce. It had more meat than the pork and was the better of the two!
Then we saw some fresh and fried tofu, buns with cream inside, chicken, pork, buns, and even Chinese pizza!
Further along are vendors selling vegetables, including some I had never seen before. There was a type of eggplant that I wasn’t familiar with, some frozen seafood, and roasted duck! There were also sausages, which I couldn’t wait to taste!
The sausage looked like chorizo and was coated in a delicious, Chinese sauce. The wrapper was tough, but the pork inside was tasty and super fatty! I also got 5 fried fish balls on a stick. It wasn’t my favorite, but it was decent. It needed hot sauce!
This Chinese market opens every Sunday at 7 a.m. There are so many things to try! Then I got some sugarcane juice, which was so sweet and refreshing!
From there, Imro took me to the Javanese market, Saoenah Markt. It’s the biggest Indonesian market in Suriname. People from Indonesia immigrated here in the late 19th century.
I found a vendor making Indian vada almost immediately. There were lots of vendors selling greens. I could se stomach and tons of other dishes like fried banana, satay, and small plates.
I got some liver satay in a rich sauce, fried banana with peanut sauce, and a lumpia with spicy ketchup. The liver was so dense and the sauce had a peanut-like flavor. It blew my mind and was the best liver ever! The deep-fried banana was like a plantain and reminded me of a maduro. It was sweet and spicy! The lumpia was stuffed with tasty vegetables. There was some nice egg in it. Everything came to 15 SRD, or just under $2 USD.
Next, I got a coconut and rose milk juice with small jellies on the bottom. It was sweet and refreshing. I was loving the diversity in Surinamese cuisine! Then I met a subscriber named Monica. There were clothing and produce vendors there.
The heat was killing me, though! I suggest getting an ice slushy. Next, we headed to a third market that sells clothing, produce, and wine made from cassava. It contained 2% and was nice and light. It had a rosy taste and was a little bitter and earthy. I loved it!
There were also vendors selling birds like picolets and parakeets. There were also fruits soaking in vinegar, clothing, CDs, and more.
I hope you enjoyed my Surinamese markets breakfast tour! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up, leave a comment, and subscribe so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food adventures!

Suriname Plantation INDIAN FOOD + Pink Dolphins & Caiman Spotting | Paramaribo, Suriname
As my last full day in Suriname continued, I linked up with my boy Roël from Jenny Tours, who took me out on the Suriname River to see some pink dolphins! After that, come along with us to try some insane Suriname plantation Indian food and see some caimans in the wetlands!
We started our adventure on the river, where we put on some camouflage life vests and boarded our boat! As we rode out to look for the dolphins, we enjoyed some beers. I was told we’d have to have a lot of luck in order to spot them, but I was hopeful!
We reached the confluence of two rivers, where it’s usually rough, but because the tide was high, it wasn’t so bad. We spotted some dolphins in the water. I could hear them as well! They were splashing and jumping along the surface. There were at least 8 or 12 of them, but they usually steer clear of the boats. They’re the smallest species of dolphin in the world and are very shy. It’s crazy that we were only 20 minutes from Paramaribo!
We spent an hour out on the river, and then we headed over to our boat captain’s plantation. His family is of Indian descent, so I couldn’t wait to eat some Suriname plantation Indian food. We reached a small village and landed, and I got to meet some of the locals!
The village is home to lots of people of Indian descent. They were super friendly and one of them even sang for my camera! From there, we got on a small, motorized canoe and headed through the waterways of the mangrove swamp. It looked like I was in Goa and Kerala!
I reached the plantation, where I played with a cute dog and saw a kid wearing a Spider-Man shirt! Then I met our boat captain’s mother, who made us some roti, aloo with greens, and chicken curry! It looked so good!
I dug right in. The roti was still hot! I went for the aloo first, and then Roël gave me some hot sauce. It was really hot. I can’t eat food without any spice. Then I went for the chicken. It was so fresh and had some delicious masala on it. There were tons of bones in it, so I pulled it apart, separated the bones, and wrapped some in the roti. So good!
The roti was thin and airy like a crepe. I was loving the chicken! And the roti here in Suriname was next level. I couldn’t get over how fresh the chicken was. It had my mouth watering, it was so good!
In India, they don’t pack lots of food into each bite, but I had to! After dinner, I was stuffed. We hung out with some locals afterward. I was loving how much this area of Suriname looked like the backwaters of Kerala! We waited for the sun to set and then headed out to look for caiman!
Roël put on a head lamp and we got in the boat. I suggest wearing long sleeves here. There are tons of mosquitoes. You should spray your entire body to keep them away.
You have to look for the caimans’ eyes reflected in the lamp. We passed under a low bridge, so I had to lay flat in the boat as we passed underneath it. We spotted our first caiman. Roël attempted to grab it, but we spotted another smaller one. Roël caught him. He was about 15 inches, but they get about 2.5 meters . I got to hold him for a minute and then I let him go.
We caught a second one, almost 2.5 feet long. He had some fight in him! We called it a night after the mosquitoes kept attacking me. What an incredible day!
I hope you enjoyed coming with me to get some Suriname plantation Indian food and seeing the pink dolphins and caimans! If you did, please give the video a thumbs up, leave a comment, and subscribe so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food adventures!

Authentic SURINAMESE Street Food Breakfast + Central Market Tour | Paramaribo, Suriname
On my first morning in Suriname’s capital of Paramaribo, I headed out bright and early to have an authentic Surinamese street food breakfast. Come along with me as I try some of the local cuisine and go on a tour of the Central Market!

Check out my top videos!
My buddy and guide, Imro from Jenny Tours, took me to Cafetaria De Smaak to start my day. I was starving and could not wait to eat and explore!
In the restaurant, there were lots of dishes on the menu, including small shrimp, chicken, steak, fish, and potatoes with kidneys. They’re basically different protein salads and they all looked so good!
The breakfast dish has a Dutch name. You usually get some bread and try one dish, but I got a bit of everything: fish, kidney with potatoes, beef, shrimp and veggies, and more. It was like a Surinamese thali! I took a piece of bread and stuffed some shrimp inside.
The shrimp had a light and tasty curry. I couldn’t get enough of it! The salty fish wasn’t too salty but good. I had some super hot coffee with it. The best thing is, this breakfast will only cost you between $1.20 and $3 USD.
Next, I went with the local specialty, which was like a chicken salad with mango. It was mushy and had a nice sweetness to it. Then I went with the beef, which was tender and had a rich sauce. It was super tasty with the bread. Then I went with the minced meat, which was really great and was light on the spices. The potatoes and chicken kidneys were fantastic. I love organ meat!
Then I took everything on the plate and mixed it together. The mix reminded me of something I’d had in Thailand. There were lots of different flavors and textures and was so good! I’d never had anything like it before!
From there, we headed to a local market. I wanted to get a look at local life and maybe get some more food! We passed by lots of restaurants and 5-star hotels. There were also souvenir shops. Because it was 9 a.m. on a Saturday, there weren’t a lot of people around. There was lots of Dutch architecture in the city center.
We headed to the market, where we found a man mending broken shoes. There were a lot of women selling fresh produce like lychee. The women didn’t like being filmed, but they let me film the vegetables. As we continued, I started smelling the fish in the fish market!
We found some dried shrimp and some incredible-looking smoked fish. We got a smoked catfish and sampled some of the meat. It wasn’t my favorite but there weren’t any bones! There were also some crabs hanging on the outside of some barrels. Further on were lots of shrimp and huge catfish roe. There were vendors cleaning crabs as well!
There were also vendors cleaning fish. It smelled really fishy there! I was the only foreigner there, which made it a really immersive experience.
From there, we headed to the meat hall, which has lots of chicken on the right and fish on the left. It felt like I was in a market in Africa! The vegetable area was more like a wet market in Manila. They had lots of vegetables I’d never seen before. My allergies were acting up, so we got something for that!
Then I got a slush pom de citerre, which was like condensed rose milk with coconut. It was refreshing and super hydrating! It cost 6 SRD, or just under $1 USD.
Next, I went on the hunt for some masks. We arrived at ReadyTex, where there were some wooden crafts but no masks. My favorites were the wooden foldable chairs, which were 1,250 SRD, or about $140 USD. I found a nice Suriname soccer jersey and two for my nephews.
The heat was starting to get to me, but at least it wasn’t humid! My hunt for a mask continued.
I hope you enjoyed exploring the Paramaribo city center with me! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also please subscribe so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food adventures!

Surinamese FOOD TOUR of the Kwatta Sunday Market - Indian & Indonesian Food | Paramaribo, Suriname
With another morning Paramaribo, Suriname upon me, I headed out to go on an epic food tour! Join me as I try some of the best Surinamese Indian and Indonesian food at Kwatta Sunday Market!
My day began early on Sunday morning at the Royal Torarica Hotel, a beautiful, 4-star hotel with 105 rooms. This place is like a boutique hotel in the middle of downtown!
Sunday in Paramaribo is Market Day, so I couldn’t wait to do as the locals do. I had visited the Chinese and Indonesian markets the previous Sunday and had loved them, so I couldn’t wait to visit Kwatta Sunday Market! It’s also open on Wednesdays.
I met up with my boy Jan from Jenny Tours, who took me to the market. We passed through the downtown area, where there are tons of 200-300-year-old Dutch wooden buildings, which are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site!
We arrived at the market and passed by a vintage clothing market, some produce, and food. The market is super crowded. We saw some brown beans with rice and chicken, which is the national dish of Suriname! I also saw Indonesian food and Indian food, including jalebi!
There were 8 or 9 food vendors and the variety was huge, between the local, Indian, and Indonesian foods. I tried the brown beans with barbecued chicken and rice first. The beans were a little al dente and really nice. The chicken had a nice glaze on top and reminded me of chicken tandoori and had a nice, charcoal flavor and Chinese flavors. It was so good. It also contained some spicy chilies, which I mixed in. It had an African twist!
I had to cool my mouth down with some dawet, a Javanese drink made with rose, coconut milk, and lemongrass. It had some jellies in it and was really refreshing! It was almost like boba tea.
Then I had some ketan serundeng, which is an Indonesian sticky rice dish with coconut on top. It was amazing! The sticky rice was so sweet, it was basically a dessert! I loved it! It felt very tropical and was so freaking good!
Next was a Jewish cornbread with yuca called bojo. It looked super sweet and looked like a more dense version of flan. It was very sweet and contained cinnamon and a type of condensed syrup. It was really decadent and could have used some ice cream on top!
Then we tried some fried balls with chili, some Indian jalebi, and a flour vada with pepper chutney. The balls were bright red and made from yellow peas. They were super hot! The jalebi is fried dough in a sweet syrup. It’s ridiculously sweet and crunchy. It was a sugar overload! Then I tried the vada, which was very fluffy and airy and soft. The peppers added a lot of spice and it had lots of layers of dough in it! It was more like an elephant ear than an Indian vada. The spicy balls were the best!
From there, we went out to explore the market, where they were selling CDs, bananas, mangoes, papayas, chilies, ginger, eggplant, and more! There are probably a hundred vendors, and all ethnicities were represented.
I tried a fruit with a slimy exterior and a big seed in the middle. I bought a jar of mango chutney. Then we entered the fish market. Everything was really fresh! It was sensory overload with the sights and smells. There were also chicken, shrimp, venison, and more. It was amazing watching the fish butchers work! This was a real, authentic market experience!
There was a barber shop in the middle of the market, as well as a smoked catfish area! Past that is a huge produce section, and outside is second-hand clothing mostly from the Netherlands. Then, I tried some spicy ginger beer. It was pure, potent ginger with lemongrass and sugar. What an epic market tour!
I hope you enjoyed coming with me to Kwatta Sunday Market! If you did, please give it a thumbs up, leave a comment, and subscribe so you don’t miss any of my upcoming videos!
