During my quick road trip to Orlando, I hit up a several Caribbean spots since I was craving the food after my trip to Trinidad and Tobago! Come with me on my West Indian food tour, where I try Trini and Guyanese food!
Joining me was my friend Jon, a.k.a. DJ Jon Jat, who would be taking me to have West Indian food at spots all over the city!

We started at Singh’s, a Trinidadian spot where we’d get to have some doubles and aloo pies! In the back, we met Angie, who showed us the cooks frying baras, curry for boneless chicken, and more!
After adding the chicken and chadon beni, it cooks for 30 minutes. Elsewhere, they were filling, rolling out, and grilling dal puri. I tried to do one myself!
They have tons of options: mac & cheese, Trini chow mein, jerk chicken, baked chicken, peas and rice, chana, dal, lo mein, egg balls, bacalao, beef curry, oxtail, curry chicken, curry shrimp, pulao, aloo pie, and more. It was a fusion of Indian, Chinese, and Caribbean cultures!
The doubles had a fluffy bara and sweet tamarind. Adding pepper sauce added a ton of spice! Jon’s aloo pie with beef. My aloo pie only contained chana, and adding tamarind made it sweet and savory!
I had a refreshing banana solo with it. Next, the dal puri was great with the shrimp curry. The oxtail was so tender it fell apart. It was great to mix everything together! The flavors and textures were unreal!
Next, we drove 10 minutes to Legends Resto & Lounge for some Chinese and Guyanese food. In the back, they showed us how they make their pineapple fried rice with shrimp and pork, lamb fried rice, lo mein, pepper lamb, pepper shrimp, and roast pork!
The roast pork and the sauce took me right back to my time in China. It was sweet and tangy! Meanwhile, the flavors of the pineapple had permeated the pineapple fried rice. It was too good!
The pepper shrimp were also massive and juicy. The pepper lamb was saucy and almost like the pork in terms of flavor, and the flavors in the lo mein blew me away.
I’d never seen lamb fried rice in my life, but it was unreal. It was so unique. I loved the short grain rice, the sauce, and the peppers. It wasn’t very spicy, but the sauce was very glazy. The fried rice dishes here were unbelievable!
Next, we drove back toward Singh’s to Bakewell Food Court, a Guyanese bakery that sells plait bread, sweets, tamarind balls, sugar cakes, and more.
There, Steve told us that it’s a food court concept and sells everything you could possibly want, from pizza and chicken to curries to sweets and breads!
We ordered a cassava pone and a salara. The cassava pone was a cassava cake, while the salara looked like a fluffy, sticky cake with sugar syrup on the outside and coconut on the inside.
The salara was layered and super sweet! It was like a coconut cinnamon roll, but with coconut. The cassava pone wasn’t as sweet, but was more like a banana bread. It would have been great with some ice cream on top!

🌸 I make my own, I tell you no lie my buddies show up within the hour lol 😂
It’s delicious 😋
Oh yes LOL 4 real
You know it he probably sleep walks
I might seem bias cause I'm trini but I feel like David can't get enough Trinidadian food...enjoy bro
David thanks for showcasing West Indian food❤️the doubles was a winner !!!Chef Chris did an excellent job ❤️cooking Guyanese food a melting pot of African ,Indian ,Spanish,Amerindian Chinese food.👍
I love seeing our culture being shared! Nothing like west Indian food ❤️
Trini food is full of flavor and delicious !!
You're an ambassador for humanity! United by food, culture and heart. Thank you for restoring my faith in the essential joys of life.
I think David is hooked on doubles since that Trini visit 😆
Clearly
Yes I am!!!!
@@Davidsbeenhere told you we will make a trini out of you
It has become obvious that David is hooked on Trini food and needs to acquire an T&T identification card and a HDC house
Why not? 🥰
😂 fr
Hahahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Davidsbeenhere 🤣🤣
David, you are such a respectful and kind person. Your enthusiasm and delight in trying the foods of different cuisines is heartwarming. 🥰
I thought if I watched your video later in the day then I wouldn't get hungry. Nope did not work😄 that Guyanese chinese food looked phenomenol!! Have fun in Guyana David..be safe
Just landed in Guyana and we are doing Guyanese Chinese food very soon!!!!!
David, are you sure there's no "indian" in your DNA? 😁 love how you embrace the culture from every country. It's true, once your taste buds are introduced to hot sauce, everything is bland without it. I admire how you experience this culture in It's true form. Your videos are truly enjoyable. Can't wait to see your videos from my birthplace, Guyana. I'm sure you will have a memorable experience.
Food looks so delicious and I love the different cultures really really really nice sharing
Always! Thank you for watching ♥️
Isn’t doubles one of the best things you’ve ever eaten
100% :)))))
Nothing like Trinidad food. Unique in all the world.
Whether African Indian or Chinese or other Trini based foods our mixture makes it taste different from anywhere in the World.
David you have me hooked watching your videos Lol. Once again you never fail when highlighting the diversification of the Caribbean cultures and its influence on our cuisine. Well done.
David! you are simply the best when to comes to food blogging. I follow Mark and Trevor , but you sir are an absolute gem with it comes to loving what you eat. I am a trini living in Florida and" maan! you killin it with our cuisine". I have introduced your videos to a few of my family and friends who started following you now. Let me know when you open your restaurant in Miami please.
I like how he gets "excited" for doubles all the time...any time of the day
Wow wow David u hooking up people with our Trini food thank u so much our food needs to be recognized we are so small but food if delish everything looks so so good also Guyanese food looks really good boy u need to be payed weee after u leave a restaurant their rating sky rocket
David you are a Trini adopted and I giving you the Stamp of approval....loved how you showed your Trini dialect....
There is a restaurant in Queens NY the same way.... Love 💕 love love your channel
Wow! Chef Chris is just amazing. I've been cooking for forty years but I'm just impressed with the way this Chef cooks.👍
David our Caribbean dishes is the best 👌 👍 buddy 🇬🇾 🇨🇦 🍻 enjoyed watching this vlog men I'm feeling so so freaking hungry
Even our people infused in the Caribbean look at that that East Indian chef was ah boss on that wok big up yuh self Chris
Doubles looks amazing, David these mix culture mix combo cant go wrong. I love it. Greetings from St Maarten.
David ypu're now officially a trini...😄😄😄❤❤❤❤
That Salara..the red coconut roll..looks to die for. Loved it so much growing up in Guyana.
Made curry chicken wrong. Believe me I live in trinidad. The chicken needs to be season with d curry and seasoning, and fried with d curry that burnt a little in the oil you can also put d seasoning to fry with d curry and oil before putting d chicken , keep turning a little until the fresh water from the chicken evaporate n the chicken starts to stick then you add water n cover
Another winner! Every option looks really good even from 3000 miles away (SoCal). And of course your enthusiasm is a great way for us to start the day!
Thank you Robert!! Appreciate you 👍👍👍👍
I lovee how she cooked everything fresh definitely will be going here
I think David still hook on doubles 🤣🤣🤣🤣🇹🇹
Amazing food 😍 - looks like you’re getting ready for Guyana 🇬🇾.
I just landed in Guyana!!! Check it out on IG :)
@@Davidsbeenhere love your personality, show and content. I’m hoping you get showered with true Guyanese hospitality and love your experience in beautiful Guyana 🇬🇾
It's nice seeing the rest of my west indies family get some love 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Another awesome video from David
I love how you love our food
I 💛 the fried rice and lo mein by Legends as I am Chinese. Good meal David.
No, it’s not…I have tried a few times when in NYC (by a Guyanese residence not a restaurant) and it was some nauseating stuff 🤢
Very nice I know all over there and the people there as well 💕 enjoy David 💕
Singh's doubles definitely looks different from the one's from Trinidad. The chickpeas looks more chunkier and the bara looks more bigger.
True. The chick peas (channa) in Trinidad is thinner in consistency. It looks tasty though.
Yes. It's probably what's available in the US wholesale. In Trinidad, we use the smaller one for doubles even though the bigger chickpeas is also available readily.
Haha I can hear bits and pieces of a Trini accent from David! Love it
Doubles is life once you experience the fabulous, deliciousness 😋 you are hooked for life. It's great for breakfast, lunch or dinner including having it for a snack. 🥰🥰🥰
Like they beat David wit a bilna 😂 he cant stop eating doubles
David keep the 🔥🔥 video's coming 🇹🇹👍

love from India
David .....Wow you made a good dhalpuri soft,silky .. nice. Yes West Indian foods are the best. Enjoyed this video, Thanks as always stay safe.
I just landed in Guyana! Follow along on IG!!!
@@Davidsbeenhere Okay Thanks.
David, everything looks so yummy.
another great introduction to West Indian Food!!
West Indian food definitely is the tastiest. As a Trinidadian now living in Canada, I couldnt get good trini food here unless I cook it myself ( but where's the fun in that) I'll never make a bad comment on someone who's not trini making trini food...a new place opened up in kitchener Ontario..Madhu's caribbean cuisine.. doubles and Roti...these people are from India and if I say the thing real best ....it's damn good! The chutneys, doubles, aloo pies, buss up shut and dhalpuri. The curries needs work not like true west Indian curry however I'm sure they will get there very soon. Each island has their own spin on west Indian favourites. And singhs looking real legit ...hope to try it someday!
Nice David good food all around look at you David making dhalpouri like a pro you have to open Davids' Doubles in Miami!!👌😎😋
indian food is best every where 😋😋😋😋
All food look tasty. I love my Trini fusion food.
Simply wow 🤩
The Chinese food looked delicious! I am going to Orlando soon I will be sure to check this place out. Thanks David
You have too!
You made me dribble watching you eat that delicious food
Waiting patiently for you david to have your own west indian food truck or restaurant in Miami. IT'S going to be a huge hit..🙏❤
David are you following us lol
My wife and I just left trini 3 weeks ago and we're in orlando. We checked out some of the places you visited in trini. Singhs is also our go to for some trini food !
Can't wait to see what you find much love
David hi, lol you’re litterally a doubles head 💕 it’s tradition when we touch down from airports that’s the first street food we buy and head to our families homes and present them to everyone 🙏🥰
David I would like to interject that Trini breakfast is basically fried bakes, roast bake, or Sada, salt fish buljol is the main dish. The doubles and pies is a street food you can purchase for breakfast on the go.
Lunch is … Calaloo, Coo Coo, stew fish, crab dumplings and Pelau.
Hello gnite David how are you how come you didn't post your guyana trip
Yes, your friend is very handsome! David I lost weight over the pandemic I’ve been trying to put it back on. You have been helping me build my appetite and gain a few pounds back that I needed. Keep up the good work and as usual thanks for sharing

@@Davidsbeenhere for sure!

I'm telling you right now, there's nothing tastier than west Indian trini/Guyanese cuisine
Are you a Trini.

Another great video David i enjoy seeing you eat .WHY dont you open a shop in Miami and get some Trinis to come and work for you im willing❤❤❤🙏🙏
David u share the same love for doubles that I do 😋😋😋
Haven't been to Singh's in years. Wasn't really satisfied with the food last time I was there. Found Legends restro last year and their jerk pork is the tastiest in Orlando. Food is really good at Legends.
Wow so much food😍😍😍
Eating too much doubles you are a true trini❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Enjoy watching amazing i visit sings rotie shop for all my trini favorite food
You definitely need to open up a West Indian restaurant after your Indian restaurant is up and running 😀
The skills that man have with that wok is amazing
It looks so good
Every single night I look at your videos David and I does be craving doubles in the morning 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Lots of yummy food 💕
Oh gosh boy, Sings is one of my favorite roti shops to eat at when I am in Orlando. I'm from Miami currently residing in West Palm Beach.
I live in Orlando. I am going to Singh's this week and to the other next. I love both foods.
Waiting on the Guyanese tour
David, you are now a master at eating with one hand, Indian style. Congratulations.
We do the same in Guyana. I wish that Singh,s would open in Miami. We need one just like that. Maybe you should consider the venture with collaboration with Singh,s. Wouldn't that be wonderful??? Such good food.!!
OMG! I know i could live off of this amazing food.
You should definitely visit RS53 RestoBar & Lounge while you’re in Guyana! It’s the Former West Indies Cricketer Ramnaresh Sarwan’s restaurant.
come to mauritius(situated in the indian ocean) my man come check our food tradition ...
nice video and content you made....
Thank you for the support man
We have the pastries in Trinidad as well
I suggest you both to eat bengali chicken curry! I'm 2000% sure you will love it!
West Indian food is NOT just a blend of Chinese and Indian, BUT also West African enslaved people who were brought to the Caribbean in the 1600s and up. This was before the Asian indentured workers of the 1800s. Jerk chicken origins in Jamaica 🇯🇲 (Black enslaved people perfected this type of cooking). Oxtail meat is also rooted in Afro-caribbean cultures. Please include us in this Caribbean food fusion since we, and our descendants make up the majority of the Caribbean. Which is also known as the West Indies because Christopher Columbus thought he found India, thus, giving birth to the Caribbean also known as the West Indies. Thank you😊!
Nice enlightenment!
That was bomb 🔥👍
aaaah that Chinese looked dope. Been there many times and heck I miss that
Wow can't believe u in Guyana David I watch all your videos am a fan
