My favorite things to Eat while Visiting Trinidad
Still dreaming about all the things I ate in Trinidad 🇹🇹🍴
✨My foodie highlights:
• Snow cone with condensed milk on a hot afternoon,
childhood in a cup 🍧
• KFC because if you know, you know… the flavor hits different here 🍗
• Doubles with slight pepper and chadon beni,
fluffy, messy, and so worth it
• Pholourie straight from a roadside vendor, perfectly golden and dipped in tamarind sauce 😋
• Coconut water cracked open on the spot,
nothing fresher 🥥
And don’t sleep on the Chinese food in Trinidad. Fried rice, chow mein, and crispy chicken? Elite combo 🥡
Every bite tasted like home 🇹🇹💛 What would you try first?
