Happy Holidays from Foodography and Ecouli

In light of the holidays, Janelle and I decided to do a little spin on some recipes we found online. Even though I hate being in front the camera for more than two minutes especially video, I sucked it up or a couple of days and did a few collaborations including this one. So the recipes we acquired were a 3 Ingredient Cheese Cake and Irish Coffee both from  Delish.

Foodography And Culture Exchange Adventures

Saturday 19th November

So recently I hooked up with another of my fellow new blogger, Culture Exchange Adventures to soak up some culture. Our lovely hosts Chantelle and her husband indulged me to Venezuelan cuisine, Arepas and Empanadas. They're simple but oh so delicious.  Having eaten an arepa before and barely knowing the difference from the empanada, I had the opportunity to see them made first hand.

Shrimp Wanton Soup - bought at Kam Wah Chinese Restaurant

This is the results of me making photo shoot of my lunch after bringing it home, reheated soup and some great pictures. I would never understand how when you buy Chinese it remains hot until you get home but I love it. 

Asian Experience Round 2

My hopes came through, thank the gods. We ventured back to Kaizan to celebrate Jin’s birth which was also an opportunity to expand my palate.

Rituals vs Starbucks

White Hot Chocolate and Caramel Brûlée Latte

As Starbucks made its way to Port of Spain, I made my way through their doors after all the excitement died down a bit. When it comes to coffee houses in Trinidad Rituals' only competition was Coffee Beanery, that is until Starbucks. Honestly when the rumours of Starbucks' price for coffee hit me, I for one was not spending $50.........on coffee. Knowing Trinis over exaggerate, take it with a pinch of salt because that may not be the case. Even if it cost fifty dollars I had to  try at least once for curiosities sake just to say yeah it had it too. 

Those GuysDiner - Where Next

There are times when you wonder if a bad day can get any worse then you find a little shred of hope, to make a wee bit better. It’s all good now, you and the squad enjoying each other’s company in a nice green scenery, that being the Botanical Gardens. After leaving our beds early, no breakfast and packed up with equipment to be set up.

Yup, set up… did I mention NO BREAKFAST.

Doubles Diversification

As an outsider or a returnee, the one thing that is always on your agenda is Doubles. As a Trini where to get good Doubles is a debate. When you come across “Ah Good Doubles Man” (not always men) you stay true to them like religion until the day they disappoint.

I had the opportunity to graduate out of my Town Girl Doubles knowledge. I’m from Port of Spain, that’s our Capital City, the furthest to my right I’ve tried is Diego Martin, to my left is from Curepe and the once in a blue moon from Piarco International Airport.  The  Where Next crew which I'm also a part of decided that I needed a little more diversification, me all excited, and s**t we had Doubles from Chaguanas. 

I went with an open mind and I must say the Doubles Men did not disappoint. The unexpected happenstance was that we were given EXTRA chana or chickpea and chadon beni sauce because of my extra short, shorts. The power of a shawty, in short pants with decent legs and not on my best day either.

What is my favorite food?

Recently I was asked what my favorite was and my reaction was mind blowing and not in a good way. Why, you may ask. Well honestly, I had no idea. I know right, mind blowing.

My face screwed, as if how could you not know. Who are you? Poor individual wondering if they committed a sin, to hear the words uttered from my lips “What is my favorite food?”

I really have no clue what it is.
