Suriname Plantation INDIAN FOOD + Pink Dolphins & Caiman Spotting | Paramaribo, Suriname
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- 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!

Witte Panther ikr! I live in suriname lol
Tourism BANA steekt PUNTA !

Yow david i just wanna thank you for taking the time of showing my country to the world...
Yes thanks
Hey David, its a delight to see my country's beauty through your videos as I am living in India...enjoy my Suriname's warmth and love. Take care and bye, Seema M. 😊👍🏻
Seema Manbodh हा दोस्त मैं बिहार के पटना से हूं सभी I Surinamese Indian ko नमस्कार
जय हिन्द
the best guide yet
Finally the potato was mixed with the greens. It's the best way to make it with the roti hehe
Really cool to see you have embraced the spicy food of Suriname so much.
This happy energetic guide was on point too!
Nice cayman 😃 and wow the dolphins. Love roti. Great video as always!!
Your guide a gangsta though. Man-handling that Cayman like its nothing
I like the way the woman is pleased to serve a foreign tourist. Taking a picture together. In many other countries they would not care. Only money, money, money that's only counts. No violence, no screaming, no random gun-shootings. Just enjoy a meal in a peaceful way. No forces of nature, only a breeze or rainfall. I am IN for this.
Imro needs to do cameo in the season finale of Davids been here Suriname edition. Go team IMRO.
So sad that this is your last vlog of Suriname 😪 But I enjoyed every single video 😊 Hope you'll come back soon with your family and do some more amazing vlogs of this country! 🇸🇷 ♥️😀

Roti time...😂😘yes food 🖒friendly people 😉😉
Another nice video David. If y’all out here planning a trip to Suriname , do a bike trip. You start off on plantation Bakkie , you bike for about 2 miles around, get back on the boat to another plantation , I think the name starts with Johannes. From Johannas it’s a 6 miles bike ride to end on plantation Margrita where David visited. I did this bike ride back in September with about 19 people it was amazing!
Hey David, you should go to Fiji Island's some day & try indian food there. It's very similiar to Suriname indian food. Like Suriname, the indians came from India about 100-200yrs ago from Uttar Pradesh, Behar, & Calcuta. My parents were born in Fiji & migrated to the U.S. in the late 60's & 70's.
Danny Mahabir the same with Trinidad 🇹🇹 & Guyana 🇬🇾. The Indians were taken by the British in the 1800’s from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh & Madras to work on the plantations. Exactly the same with Suriname 🇸🇷 Mauritius 🇲🇺 & Fiji 🇫🇯
Mr SG. That is so true, I knew about Guyana, Trinidad and Mauritius as well brother.
I can't wait, in March 2024 I ll be in surimaribo yeahhh! ❤❤❤❤
all of your vids are great, when do you come back, there is more to know ,more food,greetings from paramaribo ,brother . where is imro

Love the vid. U make me wanna go there. How come u can handle spices so good?
yourjoking Right thanks!! Didnt know that
I would love to visit this beautiful place!❤️
Nice to see my roots where my family are from been there once to see my aunt and my cousin living in Paramaribo when I was there I was 10 years old haha
This was an amazing trip and I will take some chicken curry and roti to!! my fav
Yeah, traditional Indian spiciness comes from black pepper and other spices not red chilies while in Central/South America, their spiciness comes primarily from a combination of red chilies. So it's quite the fusion when both are combined right? It was super spicy even for Indians the first time we had a burrito with proper homemade chili sauce.
Love you channel alot ❤❤😘😘
Roti is life! 🥰
Great videos, keep up the lovely work
OMG seeing him eat the roti made me hungry as fuck. I can feel that this was the best food they had in Suriname
Great tourist attraction in Suriname....the river dolfins are just amazing🧞♂️🧞♀️🧜♂️🧜♀️you might also see a "watra mama" (mermaid) if you're lucky☺🇸🇷❤
Lobi from Suriname 🇸🇷♥️
Nice
Indian will never loss there tradation the culture the young generations will. Cross the boundry .
John adam brother sad to say but the younger generations in Suriname 🇸🇷 neighbouring Guyana 🇬🇾 & Trinidad 🇹🇹 are losing the traditions. Remember we have been here since the 1800’s & we have done really well to retain the culture, traditions & customs of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh & Madras in India but a lot of the younger generations want to copy American lifestyles which has been the case for the past 30-40 years.
@@mrladnek5858 younger generations losing their traditions, dude have you ever been to Nickerie, Suriname?
@@mrladnek5858 Yess, but indo- carribs are mixing in heritage as well. And a culture change takes 3 generations it already above that so its not weird. they are suriname in these case and india is so far away. So the new gen's doesnt care because it doesnt make sense. They live in south America and the carribs. there are some in suriname that still claim to be full india and practise. Check nickerie in suriname.
Im happy you enjoy Suriname but there are different kinds or rotiThe parata is the roti with lairs,the dalhpury roti is with pea filling and the aluroti is woth patoto filling.
Suriname looks good.
Another fantastic episode and then he had to go and say... rodeeeee 9:53...
The food looks amazing and reminds me of Trini "Indian cooking" roti looks similar to dhal puri.
Yes, Sam Surinam also had Indian immigrants come over from India. So same Indian dishes.
When u going to Guyana
Suriname has good food wow.
Love Suriname
Love to be indian
Love to be Surinamese
Awesome man
Yep. He cannot get rid of India. Or maybe.. India follows him everywhere 😁
Yeah
I am getting hungry when I see the delicious roti from Suriname, hmmmmmmmm
David, what is the name of this roti place. Thank you. I love your video's.
pronounced "roh-tee" my friend! And looks like you're eating dhal pouri?
Nice enjou it
I am also in Surinam
Thank you !
Bye...
Have you seen the movie Crocodile Dundee, this video is Crocodile Davids. The crocodiles makes me so afraid in the dark
Boring
David what are you doing in Florida!!! You are completely Indian. Sometimes I am get confused seeing your knowledge about India. You definitely need to shift in India. 😘
its his love for the culture and food..
David I miss the assamese gamucha( scarf)........... On your shoulders man...... Visit assam again bro..... Peace
I thought David had a Surinamese Maroon pangi cloth tied around his head. Anyway must look similar to the assamese ones.
Wow such a refreshing Bhojpuri song😍
Shubham Kr. Gupta we are mostly bhojpuri in suriname..
Shubham Kr. Gupta that’s right Bhojpuri the language of our ancestors. People from Suriname 🇸🇷 Guyana 🇬🇾 & Trinidad 🇹🇹 were taken from Bihar & Uttar Pradesh in the 1800’s & the language we would have spoken would have been Bhojpuri. Sadly the language which is known as Caribbean Hindustani is only spoken amongst a very small minority in Guyana & Trinidad as Broken English is the main language but Suriname has retained it & it is known as Sarnami Hindustani even though Dutch is their main language. One thing we have managed to hold on to is our names,religion & food.
bea jagernath je hebt je best gedaan

You
Look like
Punjabiii
😀😀😀
David is the best
wow good roti
Why is he comparing surinam and india.Surinam is a multi cultural country not only indian am from surinam and offended 😤🇨🇷
🇸🇷 dit is de Surinaamse vlag
@@apeman9238 😜
Net time when you Come to Suriname i would like to meet you 😊😊
This guy eats more 🌶 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶than i do! Take my hat off for him! I think if he could take bottles of hot sauces home he will do so!
How long did you stay in Surinam.
10 days
omg (heart) yes someone said " like the Guyanese say bora" :) (black heart) (black heart) ;D ;)
Very nice yummy
When are coming Kerala video?
Hey David,
I like your videos from my country Suriname.
Can we collaborate ?
David we houden van kluiven daarom zoveel kluif in het vlees
meisjj behalve.. k voel m net een hond als k et doe
Ik hou juist van vlees 😏
is Roel guyanese??
No
Are you serious ..kaimens...dat ding is gewoon crocodile😂😂
♥
Rotiiiiiiiiiii
Jammiiiii
Bro stop comparing India with the Indo Surinamese. If you know the history you would know that the Indians were taken from Bihar & Uttar Pradesh in India in the 1800’s to Suriname by the Dutch. The British did the same in neighbouring Guyana 🇬🇾 & Trinidad 🇹🇹. A lot of things have changed even though we have kept our religious customs & names. A few ppl speak Caribbean Hindustani which derives from the Bhojpuri language but the main language for the Indo Surinamese is Dutch & Indo Guyanese & Trinidadian would be English.
Ehh not precisly some poorly educated Indo-Surinamese have sarnami hindustani as their main language
@@apeman9238 those are already gonners innit?
@@manny8146 nope
that roti Is actually a Purri with dhal peas
Hindi is the language, Hindu is the religion. And yes, Hindu people worships cows, not Hindi people. There is no Hindi people, there are Hindu people. Just saying.
we all know what he meant
@@sorayasing3717 don't you think we ought to correct him?
dolphins like this
Hi
2:20 i got my real name there
This video makes me want Roti. The mosquitoes are due to the mangroves. I experienced that in San Pedro Belize when we visited the areas with mangroves. Need repellent something serious.
