Roti Hopping in Gasparillo with a side of Fried Chicken

We’re trying some relatively new food spots in this one my Trinbago Vibes peeps, with prices that may stun some, because I still can’t believe food prices like these still exist in Trinidad & Tobago, so join us my Trinbago Vibes peeps as we explore some wrapped chicken roti spots as well as a fast food spot for fried chicken and fries.
Please note these were the prices at the time of this recording (September 2023) and these prices may be subject to change over time

Another informative vlog vibes. The added benefit of the smaller portion is that a person can still enjoy a roti or fried chicken with a reduced calorie and cholesterol intake.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Correct is right Ricky 😁

[@DarenBdman]

Yo breds! you could never beat a good roti... pure niceness. 🙌

[@TrinbagoVibes]

At all bro, it was pure niceness indeed

[@mrsirju2810]

The Chicken and fries looking really tasty. Now I feeling for a Trini roti but I am in Toronto Canada. Trini is the best. 🇹🇹

[@TrinbagoVibes]

That they were, I’m sure y’all have one or two spots on your side, one of these I’ll have to visit and explore

[@jamstunnawiz]

Tuning in from Jamaica and your videos always make me wanna just book a flight a do a entire island food tour of T&T... Yum Yum Yum!!!

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Lol, nice, well you’re welcome whenever you can touch down, although one of these days I’ve to visit your side for a food tour as well

Hi happy you went to visit my hometown in Gasparillo. Now we know where all the goodies are. Well Done nice over nice from LIC New York. Love your videos,

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Thanks Sally 🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@angelalall7895]

EPIC video

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Thanks 🙏🏽

[@kayce004]

Reason the rotis from Homestyle and Trini choka would taste similar is because it's family. Nephew and uncle

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Oho…well now it makes sense

[@kayce004]

​@@TrinbagoVibeslol yes😅

[@squishykrishy_]

I like the drone views!

[@TrinbagoVibes]

[@diamondcascadeblackspring7260]

I agree just breathtaking 🥰🥰😍

[@Jen-yp7ll]

I love all your vedios thanks for sharing Rajeev😊

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Much appreciated Jen

[@karminiparsan9256]

All the roti looked big..and nice colour curry. South seems to have better prices on food than north and better deals too. I wonder if you would get like chinese or creole dishes for cheap also? Nice one Rajeev..regards to Julia

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Definitely south is the place for roti on a budget and I believe there are spots for other dishes as well, it’s just to find them

[@Dhanasarpaul]

Wow I'll,have to check it out next time I'm in Central

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Most definitely

[@bagladey]

The first roti was the best, looked mouthwateringly good! I enjoy seeing all of the areas that we visit in these videos as I’ve only ever been to South Trinidad twice in my life and have never been past downtown San Fernando. Edit: I don’t like fried food served in those styrofoam containers because I find they sweat the food which then loses crispiness so I prefer the paper box.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Yeah, those paper box keeps it crispy and I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@amarliesimeon3374]

Ah boi i eating in the wrong part of Trinidad. Great one as always

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Lol, yup, south is d place to be for some reasonably priced roti

[@ADiaz-sf5bl]

I know where to get my "piper roti" when I hit south again. Chich e tas is the real mvp in gasparillo there too.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Lol, yup, some really good fried chicken

[@shanesingh4293]

I will be honest, Trini choka roti is very good for that price . Ive ate from them before

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Yup, can’t go wrong with them or even home style, at least form what I had

[@deborahsuraj173]

Rajeev, good one. Them roti looks delicious.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Thanks and it was

[@brianrattan-rr6qy]

Nice Rajeev it’s always great seeing all these new places in T&T when you do these videos and the food looks amazing when ever we meet I would help you clean your car 😂

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Lol, much appreciated Brian 🙏🏽

[@diamondcascadeblackspring7260]

[@01cornflakes]

[@kingcole3113]

[@TrinbagoVibes]

[@rebekahdhunda101]

Best roti in Gasparillo is the brown door roti shop

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Ohhhh, is that on the main road or on one of the side streets?

[@misssmith318]

It's opposite the home style place you purchased from. They have a $12 roti as well.

[@diamondcascadeblackspring7260]

My boi reach mih village (if it still a village lol).. Welcome!! ❤❤❤ I learn some things I did not even know about... Pity I try to avoid main road traffic...

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Boom!!! Well I don’t think we can call it a village anymore, lol

[@diamondcascadeblackspring7260]

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Nice, I was trying to get breakfast but I had reached too late for it, lol

[@wilmarkjohnatty4924]

The better 12$ roti was opposite Home Style aka "Brown Door" that is always packed lunchtime. Home Style isnt that bad tho.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Yup, it’s a south thing doh

[@crudekirk]

It sounds so funny when you hear "for $10, you cannot go wrong" when a kfc 2 piece, fries, roll and drink was $8.50 at one time. Ah yes, capitalism.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

You’re talking prices of things when I wasn’t even a thought, lol

[@allescottgaskill8151]

Good morning.

Has nothing to do with capitalism. Ever heard of something called inflation?? Look it up
