Believe it or not, today is the first time I ever hear about that. Wifey and I went to a Guyanese spot close to where I live and this female customer in there was asking my wife if she ever tried cucumber sour?
That was a first for both of us!

In reply to doosra

Last Easter I took my kids and grandkids to Guyana for the first time in their lives to celebrate my 60th birthday. So, Easter Monday we were heading up to 63 Beach and my daughter wanted the paper bag fried rice so badly that she had seen on social media. To our disappointment every damn establishment was closed for the holiday except the Chinese supermarkets!

In reply to StumpCam

Dem Chiney man mekking good money in GT.

They under price all the local businesses.

In reply to StumpCam

man you didn't check all...you sure

just to name 3

In reply to doosra

Believe me I checked all! My taxi driver was my nephew!

In reply to StumpCam

poor thing missed her paper bag fry rice

and loud pepper

In reply to doosra

Cucumber sour is not my thing... I prefer mango.

Some country side schools still got people selling cool-down, icicles and snow cones.

Juice up on middle street does got some proper juice in plastic bags and bottles too. One of the best places to get fresh juices in GT.

I was surprised at the ubiquity of the Chinese Supermarket from Skeldo to Timehri!

There is a Chinese restaurant in Belvedere/Hamphire that make a fried rice with the rice being the big star of the show. It's not Double Wing...I think it's Kway.

My family when they visited brought back some and I tried to replicate it...going the way of a Hainanese Chicken Rice. I believe it's not fried rice, but something similar to the HCR. Best rice on the planet.

In reply to anthonyp

yea juice up is my ole place...when i used to live almost street school days

some vendors opposite gti is a good spot too

In reply to StumpCam

someone counted 114 between gt and mahaica last year...there's probably more now

In reply to SCC1

i had from that chinee last year...it was good

for some reason the west coast berbice paper bag fry rice taste better

but that could be my bias

In reply to doosra

I think I had the one Bath some years ago! Can’t remember exactly what year, but it was awhile back.

In reply to doosra

I forgot to mention the pepper sauce/ chili oil that came with it. It tasted very salty with an umami overload, which led me to believe that they added some of the chicken broth to the fermented pepper sauce and make it very tasty.

When I was going to school in New Amsterdam (early 00s), I had the Sue Brothers paper bag fried rice. It was the best thing I TASTED during the entire 6 years of commuting to NA.

The WCB fried rice is top notch as well. I can't remember if there was one by #2/Cotton Tree. I used to spend weekends over at my cousins in #2 back in the day thinking that I was a big man and taking the ferry to Rosignol.

Good times.

In reply to SCC1

i have me some sue brothers very often...

you took the boat to school daily?

cotton tree had a chinee ...well 2 but at different times

In reply to doosra

Ah, that's good to know. I get goosebumps reminiscing about the place. I am glad that I found a community where I can enjoy this.

So, I am from Albion...took the bus every day to NA for school. It was a scene.

Regarding the ferry, it was around my 14th birthday when I tried to convince my parents that I can independently take the ferry to visit my cousins 'over the river'; it was successful.

In reply to SCC1

i had quite a few Corentyne, including Albion frens back in the early to mid 90s in school

dem cricketer ones went chandi and compre tho

did that boat thing for 6 years...best days

where did you get your egg bawwwllllls from? lol

In reply to doosra

Around the turn of the century, Lower Corentyne got a decent school team along with Cowboy School.

Hehe, most of my fellow clubmates went to those schools.

In reply to SCC1
