A baked cassava and chicken casserole of Surinamese-Jewish origin, made from grated pomtajer (Xanthosoma taro) slow-baked with chicken, citrus, and Surinamese spices. Rotterdam's definitive Surinamese comfort food.
Where to eat it: 1 restaurant across 1 city.
A Surinamese lunchroom since 1982 that locals consider the most authentic pom, roti, and saoto in the city. Unknown to most visitors despite being on a main dining.
Why locals love it: No English signage, cash only, and easily missed on the busy Pannekoekstraat strip
