Touch down in AZ. Switch off that darn airplane mode. Fire up the Yelp app. Search criteria: Trinidadian food. Found it...boom!! Happily scroll though the photos while salivating slightly and praying that doubles is not a weekend thing only. Thank God the traffic wasn't too hectic so I made it there to meet these beautiful food angels.
A very friendly Trini mom and her cute daughter filled me in on the available menu items. Alas, no doubles til Saturday but there were LOTS of food options for my choosing. I decided on a chicken roti and I asked for potatoes and channa (chickpeas) to be added. I also got a side of kuchela and a side of plantains. There's a saying in Trinidad - "your eye bigger than your belly". That was the case on all levels with me!
With some sweet reggae tunes in the background and my plates in front of me, I was in heaven. The food was good...oh so good. The plantains were fried just right to the point of that caramel crispy goodness. Flavor on the curry was on point - good ole madras curry...It wasn't spicy so I'm glad I got that kuchela. The dhalpuri could have been a tad softer but no biggie. That was the BIGGEST roti I have ever seen! I took a break and went in again but lawdy...as far as Man vs Food, Food won! I wish I was here until the weekend but next time, I'll know where to come!
