At Patois in Toronto, chef Craig Wong takes the techniques he learned cooking at three-Michelin-starred French restaurants and applies them to the flavors he grew up within Jamaican-Chinese dishes. Aided by his right-hand-man chef Nicholas Beckford, the two create dishes like jerk chicken chow mein, jerk pork belly yakisoba, and more.

The first man to start sound clash was Tom Wong, the son of a Black Jamaican woman and a Hakka Chinese man. The biggest Reggae producer is VP Record owned by Patrick Chin, another Chinese. One of Jamaica's biggest music producer was Leslie Kong who produced Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff and top Jamaican singers first songs.

  • This is correct here regarding Carribean folks and Asians, among other groups and cultures. My mom is black and from Trinidad, but my family is extroadinarily mixed with a variety of different groups. My mother herself always tells the story of how she grew up with Asians in Trinidad. Even told me a story of a hops bread man that was white. Most folks assume that everyone in these places are black, and this is not true; history also reveals this fact as well. I have two nieces today, for example, who are partially Thai and Trinidadian. I also have a nephew who is half black and Ecuadorian from one of brothers. That brother himself is partially Panamanian and Trinidadian. My mom has an Arab Indian background, and so on that side of the family, all of which are from Trinidad, they look very much like Arab Indians. My brother, interestingly, took on some of those features along with the Hispanic ones. Usually when he walks into places they aren't sure where he's from, although the Hispanics see him as Hispanic immediately because of his features. It certainly helps that he loves Spanish food alot. Lol On a side note, most people don't know that the Dominican Republic has the largest Asian diaspora in the Carribean. Most of them have Asian heritage down there. It's easily researchable. I could go and on with this stuff. There's alot of mixing going on so it's only natural that the cuisines would mirror that.

    • You have it wrong bro'. Coolie was the immigrant status. Therefore there were Chinese & Indian coolies (contract laborers). It was just raw blatant discrimination that only Indians were referred to as "coolies." The Chinese moved to open shops when their labour contracts ended, and had the advantage of high colour (as Jamaicans used to say). So the "coolie" status ended at the end of the indentured labor contract. It was because of occurrence that the Indians had no control over, that to the present day, they're still referred to derogatory, by a neutral word that wasn't meant to denote such scorn.

My father is retiring and I'm trying to turn things around with different methods without so much labour and long ass hours in the kitchen. My dad worked so much throughout his whole life. Probably more hours than most and sometimes the family needs to force him take day off. Lobster, Hong Kong BBQ Pork ( my family recipe and not western bbq pork with red food coloring), Chicken Drum Sticks(also family recipe). And other type of things to incorporate to make things a little easier plus keeping it as fresh possible. Glad to see this guy mixing it up. I hope that lobster dish end up being like $100+ CAD.
