SUR: Eco Resort Inn [Breakfast]

Image
A taste of a local dish made of a plant called 'pomtajer'! In Paramaribo, Suriname, my BFF and I stayed at Eco Resort Inn (3*). Buffet breakfast is served daily at its Riverside Hut, which is sort of a misnomer as it's located in the middle of the hotel grounds. The hotel's Riverview Terrace and Bar, on the other hand, is the one that allows patrons to have a view of Suriname River.

SUR: Eetcafé de Gadri

Have you heard of 'moksi alesi' before? Eetcafé de Gadri is a no-frills eatery situated near Fort Zeelandia in the capital city of Suriname, serving local cuisine. While the menu is only written in Dutch, the staff can speak English. One of them translated some of the dishes that my BFF and I couldn't recognise.

SUR: Mirosso Indonesian Restaurant

Image
An Indonesian restaurant that has won the Fernand de Rooy certificate! The historical links between Suriname and Indonesia can be traced back to the days of the Dutch East Indies in the 19th century, where many Javanese were sent to Suriname to work in plantations. My BFF and I went all the way to Mirosso Indonesian Restaurant to see how the cuisine has developed there over the years.

HKG: Po Lin Monastery Vegetarian Kitchen

Image
Vegetarian treat after climbing up to the Big Buddha! I just found the lines from the website to be pretty interesting: "After a visit to the Big Buddha and having climbed up and down the long flight of stone steps, you will be forgiven for feeling a bit weak and sore in the legs. Nothing would beat a lull and a cup of tea in the monastery’s vegetarian kitchen and enjoy the special delicacy of vegetarian dishes of the monastery." :)

AZE: Imereti Georgian House

Image
A happy reunion with Georgian food! Ever since I came back from my trip to Georgia in 2018, I've been missing the unique cuisine, occasionally dreaming about it. As I knew I'd finally be back to the Caucasus region, albeit to a neighbouring country, I couldn't contain my excitement of finding a Georgian restaurant. Imereti Georgian House is located not far from Baku's Fountain Square.
