Chow Mein is by far the most popular dish among the Chinese dishes in Trindad and Tobago. It is made up of stir fried vegetables and noodles and sometimes meat. Chow Farn, which is fried rice, is also popular.
My favourite Chinese dish is fried won tons; which is made up of seasoned shrimps, fried in thin dough. A dip made up of soy sauce, tomato ketchup, honey, garlic, herbs and peppers normally accompanies this dish.
There is also won ton soup, spring rolls, lo mien soup, war mien soup, and other dishes. Trinidadians get their dishes from any of the several hundreds Chinese restaurants in Trinidad.
Although the are no living indiginous people in Trinidad today; cassava bread, cassava pone, and cassava farine are among the most popular dishes that originated from among their tribes, and is still available today. Other tribal foods that are available, include corn meals like "payme"; which is made up of corn meal, grated coconut, sugar and spices, steamed or boiled wrapped in a banana leaf, and "pastelle"; which is seasoned ground meat wrapped in a corn meal dough, and then wrapped in banana leaf and steamed or boiled are very popular.
