Owing to the diverse ethnic mixture of the population, Surinamese cuisine is a variety of dishes including American, Chinese, Creole, European, Indian and Indonesian. Indonesian dishes are usually rijsttafel and a number of spicy meat and vegetable side dishes, nasi goreng (Indonesian fried rice) and bami goreng (Indonesian fried noodles). Creole dishes include pom (ground tayer roots and poultry), pastei (chicken pie with various vegetables) and peanut soup. Indian dishes, such as roti (dough pancake) are served with curried chicken and potatoes, and Chinese dishes can be chow-mein and chop suey. Moksi meti (various meats served on rice) is a local favorite. |
