Food truck named G-Spot.

This walk-in venue offers a organic food and a relaxed vibe for business in St. Clair with breakfast, lunch and after-work 'lime' (hangout space) on 'cheat nights'.

The daily breakfast offerings of crêpes , pancakes, and omelettes cheese among other goodies.  

Lunch is a larger spread of dishes with local name twist.. One that I like is the grainbowl called Trinbago which is  a rice blend with grilled veggies, local fruit chutney  and yummy Tambrind sauce.

Last Friday, they had  'cheat night' serving tacos.  There were throngs of patrons who emptied into the street well after 7 pm.  My heart was set to try the pulled pork, but to my dismay, it was sold out by that time.  The event started at 6 pm.  The chef offered the Tempura shrimp, creamy chili garlic sauce, togarashi edamame with sesame seeds.

I must admit that there was a long wait and when I received my 'tacos', it did not live up to my expectations.  

Stay tuned folks, I will try another 'cheat night' and see what happens.

Have a good one!


The waiting lines for Tacos!!

    Been there, done that. They missed the Spot altogether - $$ and flavour wise. They were on target with what Trinis enjoy most - a good Trini lime - oops - that's Mr. Chow.

    I really like food trucks. It reminds me of one of my favorite activities in NYC having treats from a few food trucks. Good to know that I can have a Food Truck Cheat Night😗

Drinks... A Trini twist

Image
Happy Tuesday!! When it comes to drinks, adult or kids version , there are a hand selected few that can be named as must haves.. The sweet life..  Enjoying a Carib at Pigeon Point Beach Enjoyed by Adults.. Carib Beer - Established in 1950, this locally brewed beer is a staple for Trinis.  The full bodied, balanced and distinctively smooth lager epitomises the Caribbean life. The revitalising appeal of this brew has made it an instant favourite for beer lovers.  'A beer is a CARIB.' Angostura Rum - Another local pride, Angostura Rum produces 11 varieties of rum and a vodka sold internationally as well as its celebrated Angostura Bitters!  My personal favourite is the Angostura 1824.  This rum is aged for a minimum of  12 years in American Oak barrels and hand picked by the master blender.   The dark rum is a delight on its own but most Trinis choose to mix it or any rum, with Coca-Cola.  This combination is very popular with a simple tag line , 'Can I get

Bake and Shark... Think Asha's!

Bake and Shark   Who say Beach?! Bake and Shark.. Another street food. This is a staple when heading to North Coastal beaches such as Maracas, Las Cuevas and Toco.  Your first 'beach stop' will be at Maracas, then make a bee line to Asha's Bake and Shark, next to the parking lot. Now, picture this view, with a Bake and Shark in hand and possibly a soft drink/soda or our local Carib Beer, as Trinis usually do it (though I do not encourage alcohol consumption when driving).   Maracas Beach from Bay View Pub Bake and Shark is simple and elegant.  At Asha's, the bake is always freshly fried as well as the shark, not catfish!! Hmm.. want to work yourself up to eating shark? A vegetarian, perhaps?  Asha's  menu extends to shrimp, chicken, salmon meals and king fish and vegetarian meals. They also provide a buffet styled layout of quite a range of vegetables such as pineapple, lettuce, tomatoes and others. The condiments bar, consists of garlic sauce,

Yuh sweet like a sugar cane!!

Jub Jub Have you ever been told that you have a sweet tooth? or heard 'Girl, you have Sweet Han'! Well, you are not alone.  If you meet any Trinidadian men, you will be amazed of their natural skill set to manipulate words, on the spot, and form a joke or compliment usually to a female.  We call it 'droppin' lyrics' .  This is my list of the island's confectionery titles and possible labels associated with them.. Jub -Jub : This is a soft gelatin brilliantly coloured candy, (coated in sugar and flavoured with Caribbean goodness) fruit chewy and has a marshmallow consistency.  The Caribbean flavours covers Passion Fruit, Lime, Caribbean Cherry, Guava, Coconut, Rum and Soursop. The slang of the Jub-jub - Yuh  sweet like a Jub-Jub. Source: Uncommon Caribbean Tamarind Balls Tamarind Balls - Tamarind  or Tambran is the a large tree that can reach up to 50ft in height. In Trinidad, it can be very sour that it cannot be consumed naturally.Fo
