I love Curry Chicken, especially with potatoes, Jamaican Style! It's a bit rustic looking but rich in flavour. Of course, some Scotch Bonnet pepper brings it alive!

Here's an old-school dish that I grew up with, Chicken and Green Peas. I cooked it a few months ago for the first time in a very long time but this batch turned out a little better. Yummy!

Pork with Potatoes, Carrots, and Lima Beans.

This was another pantry dive that turned out pretty good! I had no idea what to cook but these ingredients were on hand so I just put them all together and it was delicious!

This Trinidadian style Curry Chicken with Rice and Peas from Roti Spot was delicious and plentiful! It served me for two meals!

Yardies, in Pickering, makes a great Jerk Pork with a nice rich flavour and just the right amount of smoke. It's cooked in a drum over charcoal and tastes great!

My signature dish is called Chen Ap. It's duck that 's been browned and then steamed until fall-off-the-bone tender.

I found some meat pies at my local market about a month ago for only a dollar. I tried the beef one back then and it was pretty good so I thought I'd try the chicken one this time. It was just as good!

Served with a salad, that made the total cost of this meal around $1.50! It's tough to beat the value!

The Cabbage Roll I had from Sobey's last time was so good, I had to get another one! It's hard to tell from the picture but it was hefty and filling. I should have bought another one!

Shrimp flavoured chips are a perfectly light and airy snack that's so easy to make in a deep fryer. It's fascinating to watch the small plastic-like pieces transform into these large crispy chips within seconds. They're so simple and tasty!

Deep fried Korean Dumplings hit the spot today! Normally, these are steamed or boiled but since I had the deep fryer out...why not? They turned out really well but I think a creamy mayonnaise dip might have been more appropriate. Maybe next time...

It's been many years since I've eaten Chicken and Green Peas and even longer since I've cooked it. It turned out really delicious and brought back memories! Maybe I should have added some diced carrots for colour.

Chili is one of those convenient foods that keeps well in the freezer. I usually make enough for this purpose.

Sometimes it's great with fries! I just wish I had some cheese to sprinkle over it!

Pork with Foo Jook, another old school Hakka dish that I grew up with. I usually add mushrooms, hoisin sauce, and chili pepper but this time, I tried to stick to the traditional way of cooking it. Darn, I forgot to add the star anise! Next time...

Chen Ap, a braised duck, is my signature dish, passed down from my late mother.

It's usually made with a whole duck but I've been having trouble getting the right ingredients for years now. I decided to do these duck legs while testing an alternate ingredient.

Although it tasted pretty good, the overall flavour was close but not quite the same. Maybe it's an evolution of the dish?

Richmond, BC

I saw this Cheese Rainbow Tortellini on sale and the price was too good to resist. $1.88 got me more than enough for two servings. I had it with some leftover Tomato-Chorizo sauce and it was pretty darn good!

I had the rest of it the next day, with a little butter and cheese. Simple and yummy!

A whole roasted chicken from my local Asian market for $5.00 was hard to resist. Some stir-fried veggies and a little bit of rice completed this tasty meal!

I was house-sitting again, waiting for some furniture to be delivered so I picked up some lunch from Sobey's across the street.

I got a quarter Rotisserie Chicken with Potato Salad and a Cabbage Roll. At $4.99 and $2.99, respectively, it was a pretty decent value. I would have preferred a bit more seasoning or some sauce on the chicken but it wasn't bad. I really enjoyed the cabbage roll. It's been a while since I've had this and this one had lots of flavour.

These dumplings made a great snack and they were so easy to prepare. Just steam them, add a little chopped green onion, and some light soy sauce for dipping.

Perogies are an Eastern European dumpling, usually filled with potato and then boiled and pan fried. This version, from No Frills, also has bacon in it.

I love salads! Surprised? Sometimes I actually have a salad for a meal but they're not often picture worthy.

This time, I made a Julienne Salad, deconstructed. It wasn't very fancy but it tasted good and was actually healthy.

This Fettuccine with Chorizo and Mushrooms turned out absolutely delicious! I used some oregano, garlic, onions, and stewed tomatoes to make the sauce, before adding the sausage and sauteed mushrooms.

I'll have to do this again!

Saltfish and Cabbage? I had never heard of this before and I was a bit skeptical to try it but I've enjoyed everything I've had from Yardies so far. This was no different. It was quite good!

The saltiness of the fish, with the sweetness of the fried plantain, and the heartiness of the provisions (yam, boiled bananas, dumplings) all worked very well together. Delicious!

Another winner from Yardies!

Samosa Hut

Ajax, Ontario

There is a wide variety of samosas available, the house specialty. Fillings include Butter Chicken, Curry Beef, Spicy Lamb, Curry Chicken, vegetarian options, and more. I tried one of each of what they had ready, eight in all. The fillings had decent flavour but I prefer a flakier, crispier crust.

Oxtail

Al Premium, Scarborough, Ontario

It's been a while since I've had Pork with Preserved Vegetables (Moy Choy) or Oxtail so when I saw these at the food counter in a grocery store, I had to try them. They were only 5.99 and 8.39, respectively. I can't cook these dishes for that cheap so why not just buy them?

Both dishes tasted very good but the oxtail could have been a little more tender for my liking.
