The Hyatt Regency Sushi Bar.




Caribbean Dream (foreground) with Sashimi and Nigiri

Hyatt Regency Sushi Bar. 

I affectionately call the Hyatt Regency as my 'forwarding address' because of the familial service I get there..♥

I must also say, that the Hyatt Regency Trinidad did a yeoman service by opening the Sushi Bar. Why?  The Sushi Bar offers delectable dishes, maintains its high quality standard and has a fantastic view to boot!  In a time where Japanese cuisine gained momentum, circa 2008, I consider the 'Hyatt experience' as a treasure that keeps on giving by creating bellyful memories!

My passion and voraciousness for food, urged me to learn and master the use of chopsticks.  So much so that I abandoned traditional cutlery for my own wooden chopsticks.  Picture the perplexed looks when I would eat Creole food such as Pelau and Callaloo with my new gem!  I paid them no mind, and two months later, I finally honed my skill!

The Sushi Bar is open for business from Monday to Saturday during dinner time, so 5 p.m. -10 p.m. I was ready to delve into anything the Sushi Bar propositioned. What I did not expect was the quantum.  The Bar offers 4 pieces of a roll as opposed to 8 in other Japanese Cuisine venues.  So there was some disappointment there, however, the quality is second to none.  

The roll in the forefront is the Joel Roll (named after the creator Chef) and the background, the Dragon Roll.  If you like heat, you got it here!  Both simultaneously brought the heat and flavour with a raw element in the Dragon Roll and crispy in Joel's Roll.

Enter in the Crazy Roll..
This is for all you Crab and lobster lovers! I thoroughly enjoyed this one as I got tasty mild flavour and BIG shrimp. No complaints there. ♥

Crazy Roll

Actually, there is one complaint, my dears, you can not stop at one serving.  As we Trinis say, 'it is very more-ish'! Ergo, don't be surprised if you order another.

Salud!

Drinks... A Trini twist

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
