TRINIDADIAN STREET FOOD Breakfast!! Doubles & Shrimp Pies in Orlando, Florida!!
DESI VIBES: https://www.instagram.com/desivibestx/ MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG: https://davidsbeenhere.com/ While I was up in Orlando for a friend’s wedding, I knew I had to get some delicious Trinidadian food! Come with me as I have some authentic Trinidadian street food in Orlando, Florida! I’d be heading to Desi Vibes, a Trini pop-up spot in a garage in town just for the weekend. I first fell in love with doubles—a Trinidadian street food staple—when I visited the Little Guyana neighborhood of NYC back in September of 2021. DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: https://teespring.com/stores/davids-been-here I loved them so much that I booked a trip to Trinidad and Tobago to further explore the flavors of the islands in early 2022, and now I’m officially addicted! Once I arrived, I met Kerrie, who was putting together a shrimp pie, and Stacy, who has a catering company. She also showed me some of their pepper sauce, tamarind sauce, chadon beni sauce, and more. I tried some of their pepper sauce, which is made from super hot scorpion peppers! They also had cucumbers, aloo, and habaneros. They roast the habaneros and blend them to make a sauce. Desi Vibes is based in Houston, TX, out of Kerrie’s home. You can contact her through DM on Instagram to place orders. She added the roasted habaneros, some lime juice, garlic cloves, and culantro in a blender and blended it up. It smelled incredibly spicy! Then, she fried up some pholourie, which are savory fritters. They’re like Trini beignets! Then, I watched the put soe doubles together by taking two baras and top them with chana, tamarind sauce, chadon beni, cucumber, and chili sauce. They also made an aloo pie. I couldn’t wait to eat! My mouth was watering as she made my aloo pie and plated my doubles and pholourie.
