Shelley’s personal pleasures
This is a mixture of all the personal perhaps, non touristy things and places I frequent that I think my guests would love to experience
This place reminds me of all the great food I ate visiting my grandmother in Trinidad.. Authentic down to the sing song accent of the staff and the accent I immediately affect when I order my 6 Doubles( 2 pieces of fried dough with curry channa , pepper sauce and tamarind sauce)The roti is amazing and they have all the West Indian sodas and snacks like red mangoe ,you can imagine . They have seating but I always take my food to go so I can lick my fingers and hum happily in private.
