Can I have a …, please?

ORANJESTAD — Want to taste something different for a change?? How about a different
breakfast from what you are used to at your hotel. Hop in your car, drive around and
anywhere around the island you will come across a local snack shop.

Here you will find all types of snacks loved by the locals. Try a pastechi, a Caribbean
pastry filled with cheese or meat and fried up deliciously. Or perhaps you might want to
try a croquette, a crusty little meat ball. A dedito is also a good option, it’s a stick made
out of cheese or hotdog. If you want to try something more familiar go for a homemade
hamburger or a ham and cheese toast, but with a local touch. All these snacks are
ridiculously addictive. Freshen up with a delicious fruit shake (batido) made out of wa-
termelon, strawberry, banana, papaya or just mix any fruit together. What makes these
little snack shops more attractive is the warmth of its people and with the smile you are
being served.q
