I am interested in suggestions for cheap eats. Last year, I did PB&J most nights. I did go to Pasa Bon Pizza, Maiky Shack, Antriol Catering and El Fogon Latino. I will also try China Nobo. (Suggestions for China Nobo would be helpful).

Exito bakery is a favorite of mine for their sandwiches. Three or four guilders.

Lola, Luigi's closed a few years back. He was in Antriol but last few times I went by he was closed. The one on Vitte is Dollar's Terrace. I have not eaten there in a few years so cannot comment. Lize's home style Surinamese cooking amazes me always.. 717 5632

China Nobu will make almost anything you want, but make sure you talk to the wife if you phone your order in. I talked to the husband last year and got some really odd things when I ordered the same menu items that we have ordered for 5 years. We liked the pork tenderloin, light sauce with bean spouts. My vegetarian daughter liked the lo mein and fried rice.

China Nobo lunch is a great deal for 5 Guilders (~$3). Great food.

I have not had great roti on island. For some reason the roti I have had here has bones in it and other odd items. It's not West Indian style as I know it. Maggie and I love this place in Antigua called Roti King. It's massive and full of chicken and lovely curry.

You can get fish and chicken at El Foegon and BobbeJans.

The fish at El Fogon is excellent and an amazing value! We ate there 2 nights (of 7 on island) on our last trip.

The new Surinam rest. that opened on Kaya Princess Marie (where the old Sandwich Factory used to be)is quite reasonable. Annie, I never had Rotie without bones. The traditional way the surinamese eat it is with their hands. Everything is served separate and you use the pancake as a scoop to pick up the various ingredients. It is much like the Swahili cuisine of East Africa. Be sure to save a last bit of pancake to use as a napkin to wipe the remains off your chin!

Did anyone mention Bistro De Paris? Lunch there is surprisingly cheap, plentiful, and tasty although the dinner menu is much more, shall we say, fancy in taste and price.
