I kicked off 2017 by grabbing some Jamaican food for lunch near my house, as my budget and time to randomly travel to Ocho Rios has been reduced to like zero.
I ordered the jerk chicken lunch special ($5.99). It came with 4 pieces of jerk chicken atop a pile of rice and peas and an extremely tiny container of coleslaw. I should have just ordered the small jerk chicken meal ($7) as it was slightly bigger and perhaps might have come with more 'slaw.
The chicken was very tender and flavourful. I will usually order bbq chicken in Jamaican joints as I'm shy of the spice. Definitely could have used a bigger coleslaw to tame the kick in the chicken.
I'll probably be back to try the curry chicken and the oxtail meals...it's going to be a cold, cold winter and I need a warm reminder of the Caribbean.
