Carribbean Food

[dantilley]

Anyone found any Caribbean food in Bangkok? Seems like every type of food is available here except Caribbean. Would be great to get some Jerk chicken, salt-fish and akee, rice and peas, etc. but not managed to find any yet... Anyone else?

OK, I know what you are looking for, and thats a good thing to look for, but I have never heard of such a place in Thailand. You are thinking of more Jamaican style Carib food, but perhaps some Cuban food (yes, very different) might be nice as well? Is this place still around?

Not sure, first I've heard of that place. Sounds good if it is still open though...

There are tins of pineapple at Tesco's. And there's plenty of jerks.

Is this a variety of jerk chicken I am unfamiliar with? I never heard of pineapple being used with it, though I can image a chunky pineapple chutney spiced with Carib Scotch Bonnet hot peppers would compliment the chicken quite well.
