While I make excellent Chinese Crispy Skin BBQ Pork Belly, I started doing this stir fry recipe after having leftover BBQ Pork from Chinese BBQ joints I usually visit. I purposely purchase a bit extra, knowing that I’d either make a stir fry or a BBQ Pork Fried Recipe with leftovers. You’ll Need… 1 1/2…
I mentioned in the video (see below) on YouTube, this dish takes me back to being ah lil fella on the islands. There was a Chinese restaurant on Mucurapo street in San Fernando Trinidad, where our dad would always take my brother and I after the afternoon show (movie theatre – usually western or Kung…
After posting the stove-top version of this classic Soy Sauce Fried Chicken a while back, there were many requests via Instagram for a more healthier version. While there’s no replacing what hot oil can do to chicken (when to comes to taste), the oven version is very close to perfection as well. The simplicity of…
Here’s another one of those classic Chinese dishes you’ll find in restaurants and food trucks on islands where Chinese Indentured Laborers settled in the Caribbean, after the end of slavery.

Buster was so BIG, it’s rumored that as a kid I could easily ride him like a pony.
This recipe takes me back to a time when I was in my early teens and I’d go to watch movies on the weekend in San Fernando (Trinidad) with my bother and our dad. There was a Chinese restaurant on Mucurapo Street where we’d usually end up as I’ve had a weakness for Chinese food…
One of the first things I look forward to when I visit my homeland (besides doubles and bake and shark sandwiches) is the island influenced Chinese food, which is a huge part of our everyday culinary landscape. As I’ve talked about in the past, the Chinese (workers who came to the Caribbean after slavery was…
Have guys enjoyed the month of grilling? This 5 spice chicken may end up being the last in the series (for now), so I can get back to more traditional Caribbean dishes. It’s been such fun taking the cooking outdoor, I’m now thinking up other ways to add some excitement to the recipes and cooking…
