CHINESE RICE DISHES

The Chinese have also added their own flavor to the already diverse culture of Surinam.

Many of their recipes have been adapted to our local taste, but that does not make them any less appetizing; on the contrary.

Chinese rice and assorted meat is frequently eaten in and outside restaurants.

The varieties of meat make this dish simply irresistible.
