My third morning in Guyana dawned bright and early and kicked off with an unforgettable food tour of iconic Guyanese favorites!
My guide Stacey from Visit Guyana and I started at Sunny & Sweetie Roti Shop, which is known for having some of the best Creole food in Guyana. It’s a nice, open-air shop that offers saltfish and bake, chicken curry with coconut choka, dal, provisions, okra, and more. We ordered a bit of everything!

We had a mix of breakfast and non-breakfast items, including pachownie (curried sheep belly) with roti, saltfish and bake, fish choka, baigan choka, and chicken curry with dal and rice.
We started with the bake & saltfish. The fish is fried with onions and tomatoes and you eat it with the bake, which is a fluffy bread. It’s the perfect breakfast on the go. I could eat it every day!
The baigan choka is a smoky roasted eggplant. It was amazing! Eggplant is my favorite vegetable in the world. I loved the pepper in it! Next was the fish choka with roti, which contained a splash of lime juice. I tried a wiri wiri pepper with it, which added a nice kick. I loved the green onions and diced fish!
The pachownie was so meaty, tender, and soft! You pair it with roti. I loved Guyanese roti, which is flakier than the roti I was used to having everywhere else. It had a very organ-like flavor.
Next was the chicken curry with the dal and rice. Everything was incredible together. I loved the coconut choka mixed with the dal and rice. It was perfect together. Adding a bit of pepper sauce gave it a kick, but not too much! My favorite of all the dishes was the pachownie!
Next, we drove 15 inutes to the most famous bakery in the country, Maggie’s Snackette. Inside, they were making tons of pastries, including pine tarts (pineapple pastries). Simon showed me how to fold one properly! They also made cheese rolls with a cheese spread inside. They make between 1000-1200 pastries per day here!
Then, I attempted to make a cheese roll before it was time for us to try them. This place has been around for over 20 years and they’ve perfected their recipes.
The pine tart was flaky and buttery, with the incredible pineapple filling adding a nice sweetness and acidity. I loved it! The cheese roll had the same dough but the filling was hot and cheesy. It had melted right into the pastry! I liked that it was fresh and piping hot, but I liked the pine tart better.
The chicken patty was basically a little pie containing shredded chicken, corn, and other vegetables. It was small but overloaded with filling!
After that, we headed to our final stop of the morning, German’s Restaurant, which is a buffet-style restaurant. They’re famous for their soups. They had three: chicken soup, cow heel soup, and beef soup. You can also have dumplings and provisions, or you can mix the cow heel and beef soups if you want.
I started with mauby, a drink made from tree bark. It was fragrant and refreshing. I followed it with their cow heel soup. It’s a thick, hearty soup containing potatoes, cassava, duff, and cow heel. It’s a great pick-me-up! I really liked the gelatinous cow heels.
Finally, we ended with metemgee, which contains fried fish, duff, plantains, steamed onions, and coconut broth on the side. We added the broth, which blew my mind. The duff was nice and soft, and I loved the cassava. This was real comfort food!

Trying Guyanese STREET FOOD for the FIRST TIME! ???????? First day in GUYANA! Completely UNEXPECTED!
???????? VISIT GUYANA:
???????? DISCOVER GUYANA:
???????? BACKYARD CAFÉ:
???? VISIT MY TRAVEL BLOG:
Back in July of 2022, I explored my 90th country, Guyana, beginning in the capital city, Georgetown. Come with me on my very first day in the country as I get my first taste of Guyanese food and explore the capital!
For this trip, I teamed up with Visit Guyana and Discovery Guyana. Our first adventure together was exploring the Bourda Market, followed by a trip to the famous Backyard Café. Inside the Guyana Shop, I saw items made by local women, including achar, cassareep, crafts, pepper sauces, and more.

???? MY LINKTREE:
The pepper sauces looked amazing. They come in passionfruit, mango, and other flavors. I wanted to buy some. I also saw some cassava bread in packages, green seasoning (for seasoning meats), rubs, sauces, curries, extracts, spices, honey, local wines, and coconut biscuits.
I tried a coconut biscuit, which had a nice crunch and a slight sweetness to it. Lots of dishes here are made with coconut!
They then showed me some Limacol, which is considered a cure-all in Guyana. It’s sort of like Robitussin! Then, we headed into Bourda Market. There were tons of fresh fruit and vegetable vendors selling bananas, massive ripe pears (avocadoes), starfruit, watermelon, pineapple and more.
I loved the juicy and sour starfruit, which they use to make a traditional black cake. They call starfruit “five finger” in Guyana! Next was some fresh pineapple, which was so sweet and tasty! It’s the best pineapple I’ve ever had! I followed that with some amazing papaya.
Bourda is a drive-through market, so there are cars as well as pedestrians. Further on, we saw some okra, Guyanese cherries (which were nice and sour), sweet cassava, turmeric, and bottles of peppers. I tried a bite of a really spicy pepper! Next was a super sweet sapodilla fruit.
Then, we headed to the meat, fish, and poultry section, where the vendors were cleaning tons of fresh fish. It reminded me of the wet markets I’ve visited in parts of Asia. They also had some massive catfish, gray snapper, and more. Further on were different cuts of beef and then the household section of the market.
This market dates back to 1876. Then, we went to get some fried fish and pepper sauce! The fish was nice, and the pepper sauce was spicy with a bit of lime. It wasn’t too heavy. I loved it! It had some real heat to it!
Next was some fresh coconut water with cask-aged rum. It was so delicious! Then, we drove 10 minutes to the Backyard Café, which is reservation-only. They grow herbs all over the grounds. There’s a bar and a table outside, as well as an indoor section.
I watched them make rum and punch with passionfruit, lime, vodka, rum, gin, and ice. It was the best rum & punch of my life! I loved the sourness and the refreshing taste!
Next, we started making egg balls. They started by rolling out the cassava dough, which they cover a boiled egg with. Then, they drip it in a turmeric-rich batter and drop it in the hot oil. They fry until they’re golden brown! You eat them with a delicious sauce containing mango, garlic, vinegar, salt, and wiri wiri pepper.
The crunch of the coating was incredible, and the cassava inside was creamy. The mango sauce was fantastic! It was an amazing Guyanese street food! We followed that with some sorrel, which is a refreshing cinnamon and pimiento drink typically eaten at Christmas.
Then, they made the pepperpot with beef, cassareep (a byproduct of cassava), garlic, ginger, thyme, cinnamon, and more. It’s the national dish and you eat it with coconut bread. It was incredible. It had a syrupy thickness and the meat was unbelievably tender and tasty. It fell apart in my mouth!

Exotic GUYANESE INDIGENOUS FOOD Traditional VILLAGE in JUNGLES of GUYANA!
???????? VISIT GUYANA:
???????? DISCOVER GUYANA:
???? VISIT MY TRAVEL BLOG:
After a few days exploring Georgetown, Guyana, I headed south to visit an indigenous village to dive deep into the local culture and, of course, try some of the local cuisine!
My guide Stacey from Visit Guyana and I headed to Moraikobai, which is a village in the rainforest, roughly 4 hours southeast of the capital. It took an hour-long drive and a two- to three-hour ride on a speedboat to get to the Hubudee Eco Lodge, which has two rooms.
????SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER:
???? MY LINKTREE:
We’d get to see some indigenous people make cassava bread, tuma (a fish dish), and cassareep (the main ingredient in pepperpot) being made. There, we met Gary, our local guide, who took us to see a local woman scraping the skin off the cassava roots and washing them. Then, they grate it and place it in a wicker contraption that extracts the liquid!
They extract the juice to dry the cassava out enough. They then put it over a fire to completely dry it out and crumble it into a powder, which they then place on a tawa over a fire. Then, they boil the cassava juice to get rid of the cyanide in it. Then, it reduces to form cassareep.
They also made quinches, which is made up of the cassava powder patties folded around shredded reddish coconut. You can also boil the cassava juice to make a soup called tuma, which contains wiri wiri peppers and smoked fish.
The quinches were toasty and had a nice crunch. I loved the fresh cassava and coconut! Then, it was time for lunch at the lodge. We stopped at a hubudee tree, where Gary pulled down some fruit that you peel with your teeth to get to the meat. It’s pretty sweet but it doesn’t contain much meat because there’s a large seed inside.
We had two types of tuma (one smoked, one fresh), a hard cassava bread, a soft cassava bread, and a pine drink for lunch. The cassava bread absorbs the cassava juice quickly. The cassava juice is a little spicy and smoky!
The best part of the smoked fish was the skin. It was delicious! Then, we crushed some of the wiri wiri pepper into the tuma with the cassava. It was such a unique flavor. I’d never had anything like it! The wiri wiri pepper was spicy!
The fresh fish was bony but very buttery. The fresh pine juice was also very nice and not too sweet. It was really refreshing!

Guyanese STREET FOOD! Mountain of EGG BALL You HAVE TO EAT in Guyana!
???????? VISIT GUYANA:
???????? DISCOVER GUYANA:
???? VISIT MY TRAVEL BLOG:
As my time in Georgetown, Guyana continued, I set out late at night to go on an epic Guyanese street food tour!
My guide Stacey from Visit Guyana and I would be exploring the Seawall area for some fish and chips, egg balls, and barbecue! I couldn’t wait!
????SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER:
???? MY LINKTREE:
We started at The Pink Stop, where a fan of mine came up to me and gave me a Guinness Foreign Extra Stout! I love Guinness beers! Then, at The Pink Stop, I watched them cut up and soak some plantains. They also had some rice, but I was here for the fish and chips. But instead of potatoes, they fry the plantains!
They battered and fried some fish and gave it to me alongside the fried plantains. We also had hot sauce, ketchup, and a creamy tartar sauce containing mayonnaise, lime, and pepper. The plantains with the sauces were fantastic. The tartar sauce was perfectly balanced with the mayo and the lime!
I also loved the fish, which paired perfectly with the plantains. It was so tasty and crispy on the outside, while still soft on the inside! Then, we jumped on the barbecue chicken and cook-up rice, which is a popular rice dish in Guyana. This version contains black-eyed peas and corn, along with coconut milk and lots of spices!
You can also cook lots of meats with it, too! It reminded me of Colombian sticky rice dishes I’ve had, and the coconut gave it a nice richness. The chicken had a nice char on it and was very juicy and tender. It was light on the barbecue sauce and allowed the chicken’s smoky flavor to come through.
Then, they brought us a massive container of just barbecue sauce for us to dip the ckicken into! It was good enough to drink! I even liked dipping the rice and plantains into it! This place is open every day, rain or shine!
Then, we drove to Exclusive Egg Ball, Inc., where they make the #1 street food in Guyana, egg balls. The women make them fresh with eggs and cassava, and then throw the in the fryer. They make 9,000 per day! The egg balls come out perfectly golden and crispy and then they top them with a delicious mango sauce!
These are the most famous egg balls in Guyana! They’re perfectly crispy and the sauce is both sweet and a little tangy. It’s simple and unique! I loved the delicious egg and the cassava. It was all so delicious!

I Tried Giant Coconut Worms in Guyana! Will I Survive?
???????? VISIT GUYANA:
???????? DISCOVER GUYANA:
???? VISIT MY TRAVEL BLOG:
My adventures in the Indigenous village of Moraikobai, Guyana continued with some local drinks and some exotic bush food!
Moraikobai is located roughly four hours southeast of the capital city, Georgetown, and it takes an hour-long car ride and a roughly three-hour speedboat ride to get there!

The locals here would be showing me how to make three alcoholic drinks from the forest: piwari (made from cassava), fly (made from purple potatoes), and warup (made from sugarcane). Then, we’d visit the village and have some dinner!
I saw them toasting some cassava bread to make the piwari. After they bake the bread, they tear it up and soak it in water for a day and one night, and add a syrup and some sugar. Then, it ferments and then they strain it! The longer it ferments, the higher the alcohol content.
The piwari was very tasty and refreshing. It had a bit of bitterness but was like a light cassava wine. It was really satisfying!
Next, we saw the purple potatoes that they use to make the drink called fly. The boil the potatoes in water, strain it, and add sugar. I could taste the fermentation! It was fresh and tasted almost like berries!
Then, we headed out into the forest to get some sugarcane for the warup. They have a wooden contraption that extracts the juice from the cane. They press and twist it to make sure they get all the liquid out. I’d never seen a presser like this. I tried my hand at pressing it!
I tried some of the sugarcane, which was nice and sweet. Then, they strained the warup that had been sitting for seven days. It was smooth and tasty!
Then they brought me over to a palm tree trunk they’d cut down. Worms called Tacoma worms live inside. They chop open the tree to get them out. They’re eaten as a snack around here, but I was nervous to eat it raw. I didn’t like it, but I was open to trying another one.
The second was tastier. It had a thicker skin, but I could taste the coconut inside it! Then, they gathered more from the trunk, skewered them, and began roasting them over a fire.
The roasted ones were nice and coconutty with a gooey middle, and the skin was easier to eat through. Next, I tried some fried Tacoma worms, which were my favorite ones.
After that, we got on a boat and headed to the village. It takes about 10-15 minutes to get there. There’s a gazebo, a guest house, a recreation area where people play volleyball and cricket, and homes.
I was hoping to get some souvenirs there. I found a paddle for roughly $15 USD. I also met some local women who make some beautiful crafts. I bought some earrings for my daughters and the paddle and then headed back to the resort to relax.
Along the way, we crossed a bridge that crosses the river. There was a local guy there doing backflips off the bridge! We had a two-hour break and I took a 90-minute nap before dinner.
We had barbecued chicken, boiled and fried breadfruit, a sun-dried salted beef in gravy dish called tasso, and a couscous-like cassava dish called farine. These dishes are all Rupununi cuisine from the people of the same name.
The farine had a grainy texture like couscous or faro. I loved the combination with the meaty, tender tasso. The gravy was really good! The boiled & fried breadfruit was similar to potatoes but tastier and had a bit of sweetness. And the barbecued chicken was crispy and tender, with a delicious, glaze-like sauce. It was fantastic!
Next was lemongrass tea and roasted corn. The corn was small and contained no butter but was full of flavor. Finally, we finished with cassava bread pudding. It contained vanilla and cherries. It was a great combination!

Traditional GUYANESE VILLAGE FOOD in Moraikobai, Guyana! INDIGENOUS COOK-UP and BAKE!
???????? VISIT GUYANA:
???????? DISCOVER GUYANA:
???? VISIT MY TRAVEL BLOG:
My second incredible day in Moraikobai village in the rainforests of Guyana began with more amazing activities and peeks into the local culture and cuisine. Come with me as I try some delicious bake & salt fish at a cook up in the middle of the jungle!
We started at 7 a.m. for a traditional breakfast of bake and saltfish. First, I watched a local woman named Mary boil the fish and strip it from its bones. Then, they fry the fish pieces with tomatoes, carrots, onions, celery, shallots, and other vegetables. It’s like a type of choka.

???? MY LINKTREE:
She already had the dough for the bake ready, and put on a tapioca porridge, and a fever grass tea. It helps take away your fever. Outside, I smelled some lemongrass before heading back inside the kitchen to watch them build the bake and saltfish.
In another pot, they started making some tasso, which is a dried beef stew. I tried a bit of the fish. It was very buttery!
Then, she put some oil in the pan as they rolled out the bake dough. They fried it in the oil until it puffed up, almost like a puri in India! I even got to try rolling it out. Then, finally, it was time to eat!
Next, a woman named Candice brought me a plate of wiri wiri peppers, which were really hot! Then, I tried a type of tea made from a local plant called capadulla. Then, I opened up the bake to put the salt fish inside. I loved the fluffy, flaky bread and the mix of vegetables and fish. It was so tasty!
Of course, I had to add some pepper sauce. It had some heat, but it wasn’t so bad because of all the other ingredients! Next, I tried some hard cassava bread with avocado, followed by tapioca porridge made from cassava.
It had a jelly-like consistency from the tapioca pearls and had a nice sweetness to it. Finally, we finished with some herbal lemongrass tea and pineapple! The pineapple was so sweet and juicy!
After breakfast, we went on a 30-minute hike down a trail through the jungle to see if we could see any local wildlife. They showed me a capadulla vine and a plant that they strip and use its fibers for weaving.
We reached a savannah area, where deer, rabbits, and savannah foxes live. But we didn’t see any, as people walk along this trail all the time. But it was very peaceful and relaxing to be out in nature!
Back at the lodge, I hung out in the hammock and took a 30-minute nap before it was time to start lunch! They gave me some fresh coconut water before grating the coconut meat into a bowl. Then, they rinse the coconut meat to get rid of the milk.
They added water to the coconut and squeezed it over and over again to remove the milk. The more you do it, the creamier the milk! Then, they add rice and spices to a large pot called a karahi, along with wiri wiri peppers, beef, black-eyed peas, peppers, onions, and the coconut milk. Then, it simmers and just cooks down.
We’d be eating the cook-up rice, fried trout, and cucumber on a large plantain leaf. We also had a refreshing lime juice called swank. The beef and coconut milk in the cook-up were unbelievable. I also loved the crispy, flaky trout. What an incredible Indigenous meal.
We ended with cassava cheesecake, which Mary made with milk, cassava bread, eggs, nutmeg, and cheese. It was like a custardy pudding with cherries and had a lot of flavor!
Then, a local woman gave me a necklace and a headdress they’d made me. The necklace ensures I’d come back. It was so kind! Next, we took a two-hour boat ride up the creek back to the car. What an unforgettable experience!

This was an incredible trip to one of the least visited countries in the world. We started in Georgetown and got the chance to try to make the famous Seven Curry, with Singing Chef Adventures. Then we went to the National Park to find the manatees, before finally ending up along the river for sunset.
From exploring the Amazon basin, to finding a harpies eagle nest, to staying in community eco lodges and finally flying to Kaiteur Falls - Guyana is a country to add your list.

Eating WEST INDIAN FOOD in LITTLE GUYANA!! Queens, NYC
???? SHIVA:
✈️ CHECK OUT MY TRAVEL BLOG:
New York City is arguably the largest and most diverse cultural melting pot on the planet. The cuisines of over 100 countries around the world are represented in its restaurants. So when I got the opportunity to go on a food tour of the Little Guyana neighborhood, I jumped at the chance! Come with me as I go on a Guyanese food tour of Little Guyana in Queens, NYC!
Our journey began on Liberty Avenue and Lefferts Boulevard. Liberty Avenue is the mecca for Indo-Caribbean cuisine in New York. Shiva is Trinidadian and took me to have the ultimate Trinidadian breakfast at Tropical Jade 3.
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
I could see shrimp, goat, duck, rotis, and more there. It’s a diner-style restaurant with a long buffet where they serve you. We ordered the doubles (thin, stuffed flatbreads), roti, buss-up shot, dal puri, bake & saltfish (fried pastry stuffed with salt fish), curry shrimp, and stew pork.
My Sorrel soda tasted a little like cranberries and Shiva’s banana soda tasted exactly like bananas! First, we jumped on the doubles, which were doughy and contain chickpeas and chutneys. They were very spicy! I loved them with the spicy hot sauce!
Next was the baked & saltfish. It contained bacalao, or codfish and was a little fluffier and had more texture than the bread in the doubles. The spicy sauce took it to another level! The stew pork was chunky, fall-apart tender, and went great with the roti.
The large roti with the curry shrimp was excellent and was more of a light, stew-like curry. I also liked the potatoes in the dal puri. But the curry shrimp gravy was out of this world!
Back outside were displays of fruit and vegetables outside a supermarket. We walked past nail salons, sari shops, Pooja shops, fruit vendors, and more shops selling cultural items. I could hear Hindi music coming from a lot of them. We stopped inside a sari shop called Henna Fashion Inc. Everything there was beautiful!
From there, we continued on an stopped at a coconut vendor outside. He cut the top off so I could drink the water inside. It was super refreshing! Then, he cut it open so we could eat the cool, filling meat inside! It took me right back to Asia!
At Anita’s Fashion Pooja Center, we saw statues of Hindu gods as well as Indian bridal gowns and other clothing. Then, on 123rd and Liberty, we headed to Avenue BBQ Hut. In the kitchen, they made us some BBQ lamb and BBQ chicken platters with barbecue sauce and garlic sauce over a bed of fries.
The BBQ lamb was delicious and high-quality. I loved the barbecue sauce and the fries underneath. It was my first time having barbecued lamb and it blew my mind! I couldn’t get enough of it!
We followed that with some sparkling apple juice and then jumped on the chicken. It fell right off the bone. One of my favorite Caribbean chicken dishes ever!
Then, we headed past bakeries, shops, and more to Fiwi Foods, a food truck on 124th and Liberty selling jerk chicken, jerk pork, oxtails, curry goat, and more. But we were heading to Little Guyana Bake Shop. Shiva even gave me a Backyard Republik gift bag!
We made a quick stop inside Singh’s Roti Shop & Bar, a famous roti shop with a huge menu. Everything looked amazing! We tried a crisp Carib lager and quickly checked out Sybil’s Bakery & Restaurant.
At Nest Restaurant, we got che chi kai chicken, two types of wontons, fried chicken with rice, and more. The che chi kai chicken was light and crispy, and the jerk chicken wontons were great. I also loved the Chinese chicken fried rice. The blueberry & cream cheese wontons were so unique!

7 CURRY in GUYANA | Learning to make seven curry in Georgetown
Seven Curry is a popular Guyanese Tradition and learning how to make it is a must on any trip to Guyana. I took a day class with Singing Chef Eon John and he taught me his recipe for the 7 vegetarian curries!
There are lots of different ways to make 7 curry and it was definitely a fun day out and a really great introduction to Guyana and Guyanese food.
Thanks to @SingingChefGY

ABOUT FOOD AND FOOTPRINTS:
We are Greg and Jumi, hailing from opposite ends of the globe. Greg is a native New Yorker who was born and raised in Queens NYC and Jumi grew up in the beautiful islands of the Visayas region of the Philippines.
How did we meet? One of us messaged the other on Instagram (before sliding in DM's was even possible through the app!) and we met just after Hurricane Sandy hit NYC in October 2012. Although we grew up in two very different worlds, we bonded over a love of experiences over material things, delicious food and exploration.
We have visited 15+ countries together since December 2014 exploring beaches, ancient temples, bustling streets and ruins. Along the way, we get adrenaline flowing whether paragliding, ziplining, or jetskiing.
To fuel up for our adventures (and everyday life), we eat lots of local food wherever we are. Street food, carts, trucks, hidden gems and family-run sit-downs are our mainstays. We don't cook, but prefer to spend our money on experiences and we treat food as one. Hey, we gotta eat regardless, right? May as well enjoy it and support good businesses while we're at it!
All of this is done while we work full-time at our day jobs. How do we do it? Follow along our journeys and you will learn more. Welcome to our lifestyle!
