Nine days ago we have been in a pop-up christmas restaurant in Maltby Street Market. We tasted a big variety of Trinidad kitchen and it was a lovely experience.
We went little bit earlier then dinner time to have a drink and warming up with rhytme of music. Actually we were waiting more energy and party spirit but it was a quite serious ambience. So it was more “Taste of Trinidad” then “Trini Christmas Party”.
We met our lovely hosts Franka and Chef Hassan. We really enjoyed the food and then moved to the next destination for keep drinking.
This was our feast menu in Trini Christmas:
AMUSE BOUCHE
Callaloo shots – a mildly spiced vegetable soup infused with coconut milk.
STARTERS
Trinidadian pastelles – the Trinidadian take on the Spanish empanada, but made with polenta and suffed with well-seasoned meat or vegetables.

MAIN COURSE
