Hey foodies I'm back!
Welcome to another edition of #Foodfriday, where I unleash my inner foodie.
This time I'm going to proclaim my love for yet another popular food (depending on where you live).
Last time I talked about Sushi:

It might be my Chinese ancestry (grandma's side), it might be my unique taste or it might be my love for breakfast that can also be brunch, lunch or even later. I hope I haven't upset anyone traditional with that last sentence. But I'm just saying I can eat dim sum any time of the day!!!
Now let's go back.. Back in time.
See when I was a young warthog... When I was a young waaaaaarrrtthoooooooog.
I used to love Saw Paw!!!
Those are the white buns filled with meaty goodness. Before you ask, yes I've seen a different spelling, I've even seen it being called "bapaw" in the Netherlands but I'm just gonna stick with what I call them.
Anyway that's where it started. That was a special treat we got about once a month because special place close to my mom's work made them fresh.
I was completely clueless to the vast Chinese breakfast menu! 😂😂😂.
That is untill I went to live in the Netherlands. This is where all Surinamese peeps, that live or have friends in Rotterdam, know about Tai-Wu...
That my friends is where I got properly introduced to the art of Dim Sum.
Funny, I grew up in Suriname and I know for a fact that it was also available there but I never knew about it. Friends brought me to these places in Rotterdam (similar to my Sushi experience) and broadened my horizons.
One things for sure, I'd recognize a Saw Paw anywhere! 😂😂😂😂😂
Now, everytime I go to Suriname, there are at least a few Dim Sum days 😁.
Do you recognize these dishes?
What's your favorite?
That's it for me today. As always you can connect with me in the comments.
Cheers,
@Gvkanten
