In this episode, Michelle and Alex share their most favorite food in the Netherlands: Surinamese food! Plus, they spend some time with the owners of their favorite Surinamese restaurant, Top Exotic, and get a peek into their kitchen while they make their most popular dish: kip kerrie (curry chicken).

WHO IS BUNCHARTED?

We're Michelle and Alex, a travelobsessed American couple living abroad in the Netherlands.

In 2020, we quit our jobs to travel the world, and... yeah, that didn't happen. So in 2022, we decided to make an even BIGGER change, packing up our lives (and our cats ), moving from Austin, Texas, to Rotterdam, in the Netherlands. Subscribe for new videos like this every week!
