LC Roti Shop another Trinidadian style curry food.

There is another place on the 441 that sells Trinidadian Roti. LC Roti Shop. To be honest not a big fan of the place when I was their and its very dirty and run down. Big turn off for me still tried the roti really good and could see a high volume of west indians going in and out. This place only takes cash so no card swiping allowed. Only difference is that you actually see the roti being made in front of you. Its a very interesting experience if you not a from Trinidad.

Doubles is another favorite of my country and you can find it here that is why I stayed. Its made of the batter type of bread and on top of it you get curried chick peas. Hot sauce, mango chutney, cumuber and tamarind chutney could be added as well to give more favor.

Trinidad Experience at Tropical Feast.

Hey everyone one of my good friends decided to try food from my country. I am always happy to introduce anyone my own culture and food. I took him to Tropical Feast which the owners are Trinidadians. We each had Roti which is a flat bread stuffed with yellow split peas (grinded), roasted on a flat hot surface.

After its roasted you got a choice of one of the following curried/stew (depends on location) chicken, beef, goat, shrimp, conch or duck also curried pototoes sometimes chick peas (depends on the location). Other items that can be added  in the bread pumpkin, mango or spinach. Hot sauce and/or  chutney is added condoments that can be added spice or flavor.

He was really surprised how good the it was and he willing to go again. Also we had was Phlorie and mango chutney. Phlorie is a made from chick peas grind and made into a batter and fried. It was fun also in Trinidad we believe a Roti is not good without a Red Solo (soda drink).

They also cook different types of Trinidad foods other than Curry which I really like about this place.

Hey fellow Bloggers. My name is Ryan Rivas I was born in the twin island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. All my family reside in the main island Trinidad and my emmediate family live in a small village call Arouca. Currently I am an Undergraduate student and a Business major where my focus is Hospitality and Tourism. I chose to blog on restaurants mainly the small one because of the unique quanitity, variety, flavors and quality they offer than the food chains or fine dining offer. This is inspired as well by my family background which is hispanic, East Indian, Black, Europian decents. These mixtures are just the starting because of the main races and cultural background also came into mix made it even more interesting especially food we cook and eat.

As my country national anthem states "here every creed and race find an equal place" my family day. Christmas time mainly the hispanic traditions comes out in the food we eat and way we celebrate. There days where my mum would of cooked curry food, sometimes chinese food, there are times where creole food is cooked. Then there are times where we go to family homes and there is a feast of middle eastern foods. Now the cultural influences and taste is growing in my country.

When I came to Miami to study I have never as much fast food restaurants congested at most street corners and variety each selling the same food in different ways some in taste as well. It was overwelming for me but anytime I find a small restaurant and I see a consistant flow of people I know the food have to be good. I would prefer to step into these places than a Mac Donald's or Wendy's at any given day. My country is greatly influenced by the america lifestyle for food because fast food chains are doing the same thing but main competitor is KFC.

Personally the small reataurants gives a better quality of food and i got a variety I can choose from each has a unique taste not consistant or fried in the same oil. My summer in New York City as well inspire me to do this blog because same experience of the different types of small restaurants and fusions of flavors. Hope I can give you my viewer my views of some of the restaurants I know in Miami Gardens and the environs.
