In-Depth Information
Pick and mix a platter of Indonesian-Surinamese food from the glass case. The 'lunch
box' (you choose noodles or rice, plus two spicy, coconutty toppings) is good value. To
finish, get a wedge of
spekkoek
(moist, layered gingerbread). Take your meal upstairs to
the handful of tables, or outside, where canalside benches beckon a few steps from the
door.

Local Life
Tokoman
Queue with the folks getting their Surinamese spice on at
Tokoman
(Waterlooplein 327; sandwiches €3-4, mains
€7-9; 11am-8pm Mon-Sat) . Chowhounds agree it makes the best
broodje pom
(a sandwich filled with a tasty
mash of chicken and a starchy tuber). You'll want the
zuur
(pickled-cabbage relish) and
peper
(chilli) on it, plus a
cold can of coconut water to wash it down.
