Curacao – Road Trip for Foodies

June 13, 2018 By Helmi Smeulders 2 Comments

I love going on road trips. Baring in mind that I live on a small island in the Caribbean, these trips are never too adventurous but do make me fall in love with my island time and again. And believe it or not, after all these years there are still new places to find and things to discover.

Let me tell you about a few of my favorite places from some of my recent road trips to Westpunt. This trip takes you to a rural part of the island with beautiful nature, small beaches, local restaurants and historic buildings. Do note that I am kind of obsessed with food so it does require a bit of eating and some belly-space. Let’s call it a road trip for foodies.

Get a feel for the island snek-vibe. Order a coco friu (fresh green coconut with lots of delicious coconut water) and in case you missed breakfast a pastechi (local pastry filled with cheese, chicken or beef). I personally prefer their loempia’s (spring rolls) which are flavorful and spicy. You may want to stop here again at the end of the day for one last cold beer before you head home.

Marshe di Barber – Sunday market in Barber

This is where the locals go on Sunday mornings for a nice sopi (soup) or any form of stoba (stew). Think chicken, beef and goat. There are also a few butcher counters where you can buy fresh goat meat. You don’t find many tourists here; it’s really authentic.

Landhuis Dokterstuin – Komedor Krioyo

I love the vibe of this restaurant that is housed in a 17th century plantation house. The covered terrace in the back gets really busy on weekends. This is thé place to go if you want to try local dishes. The food is flavorful and the service is quick for island standards. Do note that it is only open for lunch.

Landhuis Savonet

At the entrance of the Christoffelpark you will find this former plantation house, which houses a lovely museum about the history of the estate. It was once a flourishing plantation with lots of cattle and crops. Quite interesting to learn more about the origin of typical local dishes.

Playa Piskado

When you arrive at the most Western part of the island, you’ll find Playa Piskado. It’s a small fishermen’s beach, where the little fishing boats anker and the fish is cleaned and sold on the spot. The fishermen throw the fish-scraps back into the sea, which attracts lots of turtles. So make sure to bring your snorkling gear for a unique chance to swim with these beautiful animals. On Sundays the little beach shack is packed with locals sipping cold Polar and munching on fried fish and funchi (local type of polenta).

Blue Sea View Terrace

A little further down the road on the way to Kleine Knip (together with Lagun my favorite beach on the westside), you’ll find this colorful restaurant. The name couldn’t be more accurate. Do stop at least for a cold drink and some yuca fries to enjoy the view. It’s breathtaking.

Sol Food

This cute little restaurant is not much more than a small deck nestled between the trees with a view of Playa Piskado. It is run by a friendly American couple, who also rent out a few rooms in the front property. The food is simple but fresh and made with love. Think homemade pizza’s and juicy burgers. A hidden gem.

Landhuis Daniel

This restaurant is a bit more upscale and housed in yet another plantation house not too far from Willemstad. I have spent quite a few nights in one of the basic affordable rooms upstairs in the attic after enjoying a lovely dinner. No need to drive home. The owner grows his own greens; the tastiest on the island!

Shelterrock Paradise

When you continue down the road from Marshe di Barber, passed a cute little local pastry shop, you’ll find this new kid on the block on a hill to your righthand side. Simply follow the signs. The view over the Western rural part of the island is magnificent. On the menu you’ll find typical local dishes like karni stoba (meat stew) and fried red snapper. I’ve also heard stories about chicken cooked underground in a coconut shell, which should be amazing. Am definitely going back for that!

Dominican Republic – tips, food & places

May 1, 2017 By Helmi Smeulders 2 Comments

Dominican Republic Pineapples

When I started this blog, I intended to go on 4 culinary inspiration trips each year. Well, here we are 3 years later and I have made it as far as 1 journey to Trinidad. How sad am I! With my New Year’s travel resolutions still in mind and April slowly approaching, I decided it was time for action. So I bought myself a ticket to Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. With just a hotel booking for the first night, my Lonely Planet travel guide as my beloved companion and no further plans, I finally got my lazy ass on a plane. Hooray!

And what a trip! At only an hour away, a completely different world opened itself in front of me. I wandered the streets of the zona colonial, the old city center with its beautiful historic buildings. Tried to eat as much local food as one can in a couple of days and explored the rustic Península de Samaná with its small villages and beautiful deserted beaches. I had forgotten how much I love to travel. Oh boy!

Although it was only a short visit, I still have quite a few things I’d like to share with you. First, of course, about the food.

Food

This being a business trip my main purpose was to eat. I hadn’t traveled to the Dominican Republic for fancy Italian or French fare, so I looked for places with interesting local food.

I quickly learned that typical Dominican meals often include:

Tostones: fried green plantains served as a side dish at almost every meal
Mofongo: deep-fried green plantains mashed together with other ingredients like pork or seafood
Chivo: goat meat in different ways
Fresh Seafood: red snapper, crab, squid, shrimps, octopus, conch, lobster, you name it, typically prepared in 4 different ways: al ajillo (with garlic), al coco (in coconut sauce), al criolla (in tomato sauce) or al vinagre (in vinegar, a variation on ceviche)
Rice & beans (red, black or green)
Pastelito’s and empanadas: fried patties filled with cheese, chicken, beef , salt fish or vegetables
Chimi’s: sandwiches of seasoned ground meat, cabbage, carrots, onions and tomatoes.

Where to eat good local food in Santo Domingo:

El Jalao
A bustling restaurant in the center of the old district with salsa music and an impressive stage above the main bar. I loved the menu with modern-Caribbean dishes like crunchy pork belly with cassave crisps, yuca croquettes, croquettes stuffed with dominican-style goat and a delicious shrimp ceviche.

Mesón De Bari
Colorful restaurant with lots of local art on the wall. They serve grandmother-style traditional Dominican fare like salted cod empanadas, fish in coconut sauce and tostones.

Adrian Tropical
This ocean-front restaurant came recommended by several local people. They serve Dominican specialties like mofongo and sancocho (a Caribbean beef stew).

El Béaterio Hotel
Santo Domingo
The food at El Jalao
Meson de Bari

Nice place to sleep in Santo Domingo

I stayed in El Beaterío Guest House right in the center of the zona colonial. It’s an old 16th century nunnery (how appropriate) with 11 rooms, a charming courtyard and a rooftop terrace. Very nice!

The Zona Colonial is a great place to explore. You can safely wander the streets taking in the historic sites and buildings and relax at one of the many cafes or restaurants. The main hazard is actually the large groups of tourists that are brought in by tour bus in the morning and are taken on guided tours through the district. Luckily, they are shipped back to their hotels towards the end of the day and the streets are yours again. At night, take another stroll, because different doors open and plenty of little bars and cafes with live-music expose themselves.

On the road to Península de Samaná

My 1000th follower on instagram, Olympia Dubischar, brought me to the remote village of Las Galeras, a tiny fishing village at the most Eastern tip of the Samana peninsula. She had won a copy of my cookbook, but the package that I had sent her by mail mysteriously disappeared. Which now presented me with the perfect excuse to hop on a bus and deliver it personally.

I love small remote places with hardly a tourist in sight and this happened to be just such a place. Don’t come here searching for a fancy restaurant or a trendy beach bar. We are talking stunning deserted beaches, only a handful of tourists and occasionally a little beach shack serving fresh seafood and cold Presidente beer. I stayed in La Isleta, a really cute hotel with a friendly French owner, right on the beach. I was in the small ‘tower room’ with a fantastic view. Great place to wake up in the morning!

There is one main street in las Galeras which ends at the beach with surprisingly quite a few restaurants. Nothing spectacular, but after a visit to the local supermarket you realize that it is quite hard to get any decent produce here. Except for really good French baguettes that is! For some reason a lot a French found their way to the peninsula and brought their baking skills with them. So expect simple, local fare, fresh seafood and large bottles of local beer. Nothing wrong with that! Look for the cute bar on the right side of the beach which is the perfect spot for sunset. I also had a really nice seafood lunch at a local beach shack (La Grillia) on the beautiful next-door Playita beach.

Beautiful Las Galeras
Empanadas and more at Las Galeras main street
Lunch at La Grillia

If you do like it a bit more touristy and developed, make sure to stop at Las Terrenas. This former remote fishing village has turned into quite a cosmopolitan town with plenty of hotels and restaurants. Although I personally prefer places like Las Galeras, compared to places like Punta Cana, Las Terrenas is still low key.

The only time a year when the península does get its share of tourists is between mid-January and mid-March, when it is thé spot to watch 10,000 North Atlantic humpback whales splashing through the area.

Transportation

Squeezed together with 13 other Dominicans in the back of a guagua (a taxi in the form of a rambling old pick-up) or on the back of a motoconcho (motor-cycle) holding on to a complete stranger, is definitely the cheapest and most fun way of transport. I took a bus to get from the capital to the peninsula and back, which cost about US$8 one way. In the capital, it is safer to use taxis instead of motoconchos. The traffic in Santo Domingo is crazy, but once you’ve escaped the city it is also possible to rent a car and explore the country on your own.

Before I knew it my trip came to an end. So from Las Terrenas I took a bus back to Santo Domingo to catch my plane to Curaçao. Although this being just a short trip (5 days/4 nights), I loved my little toe-tipping into the Dominican food, beautiful nature and friendly people and I will gladly go back for more!

Hope you’ll enjoy it as well!

My Foodie Top 10 for New York City

April 29, 2016 By Helmi Smeulders Leave a Comment

Even when you live in the Caribbean, you sometimes need to take a break. Since my travels always occur around food, I booked myself a flight to foodie heaven New York City.

It had already been 3 years since my last visit. And boy, was I excited to be back! Why it took me so long I don’t know. But I was there and ready to indulge myself in a week of shameless eating, drinking and exploring. From simple “hole in the wall” joints in Chinatown, to fancy hotel bars, to the hipster restaurants in Brooklyn; I tried to take in as much as possible.

While I write this, my belly and feet are relieved to be back home. The rest of me, wants to go back! In case you get there before me, make sure to visit the following places:

1. ABC Kitchen

Jean-George Vongerichten’s farm-to-table restaurant is still one of my favorites. Enjoy its minimalistic yet stylish decor of recycled materials and dig into a delicious menu made with fresh organic and local ingredients.

2. Eataly

The best of Italy is brought together at this indoor food market. It hurts just writing this being so far away from it all. But expect mozzarella and burrata made fresh every day on the premises, cured meats, fragrant olive oils, locally grown and seasonal veggies, an amazing variety of dried and fresh pasta’s, still warm crusty Italian breads from the wood-burning oven, the freshest fish….do I need to go on? Find yourself a spot at one of the inhouse-restaurants and you don’t even have to wait until you get home to enjoy the goodies.

3. Nha Trang

I was very happy to find this place when I heard that my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the city had closed down. Expect proper Vietnamese food in a proper Vietnamese-style setting. Delicious, cheap food and anything but stylish or trendy. Make sure to try the beef pho (rice noodle soup), springrolls and barbecued beef. Simply delicious!

4. Deluxe Food Market (Mott St.)

While wandering through Chinatown looking for a good dumpling joint, I discovered this block-long Chinese supermarket. This is where the locals shop. Some items on the shelves are unrecognizable (though I’m pretty sure those were alligator paws for 5.99/lb), but at least you know the fish is fresh when they catch it from an aquarium and hit it with a hammer on the head right in front of you. Interesting place for foodies!

5. Le Pain Quotidien

Still a favorite, there are quite a few of LPQ’s scattered all over Manhattan. It’s a good spot for a healthy breakfast. Or for a nice cappuccino if you want to take a short break from the city’s hustle and bustle.

6. Smorgasburg

Make sure to head over to Brooklyn for the Smorgasburg market. This streetfood market is a gathering of artisanal vendors selling food from tidy stalls. From slow-cooked pork sliders, to Asian steamed buns, to Mexican tacos, to pizza from the brick-oven and the trendy ramen-burger. Eat your heart out! Open on Saturdays and Sundays from April through November.

7. Standard Hotel Roof Top Bar

I forgot to bring my little black dress and heels, but arrived early enough to be allowed in. Not much to find here for a foodie (I don’t particularly warm to hautain skinny hostesses in Bond-dresses), but the decor and the view are amazing. The only person missing was Austin Powers. Go check out the bathroom while you’re there for a pee with a view.

8. Fette Sau

Hidden in a back-alley in a former auto-body repair shop, you easily miss this hipster BBQ-restaurant in Brooklyn. Get in line for a baking sheet piled with pulled pork, ribs and brisket, before you find your seat at one of the communal picknick tables. A creative and tasty take on traditional BBQ joints!

9. Institute of Culinary Education

When I first started my catering business, I took severally cooking classes here. Besides professional training programs, they also offer lots of recreational courses from 1 day up to a week. During my recent visit they showed me around their state-of-the art new building next to Ground Zero at the Hudson River. If you are interested in taking cooking classes, this is a great place!

10. Fatty Crab

If you love Asian food, try this restaurant close to the Meatpacking District. The steamed buns with braised pork belly are mouthwatering, as is the spicy green mango & papaya salad. I was drooling over the bowl of chili crab on my neighbors’ table, for which I hereby apologize. Next time, I’ll make sure to order one myself!

Goat Cheese Bruschetta

May 13, 2015 By Helmi Smeulders 1 Comment

 

Goat Cheese Bruschetta

Goat Cheese Bruschetta

On a recent trip to Bonaire, I met with Aletta at the Semper Kontentu goat farm. The farm is situated on a little dirt road on the way to Rincon, passed the cactuses and in the middle of the Bonaire kunuku. The simple set-up with old pallet-wood and small details like coral-doorhandles is almost stylish. I love places like this: not expensively styled to perfection, but naturally charming!

Semper Kontentu

When I arrived in the early morning, Aletta was still busy milking the goats. She uses the fresh milk to make cheese. This cheese was the reason (and perfect excuse) I had to go to Bonaire. I needed some fresh, local goat cheese that I had put on the menu of an upcoming wedding.

Every day, Aletta takes a big bucket filled with fresh goat milk to her little cheese-making room, to make a soft, light goat cheese and fresh goat yoghurt. The popularity of goat milk is growing. It has a high protein and mineral content and is easily digested. It is a pity that we don’t have more people like Aletta with all these goats on our islands!

Semper Kontentu

I was happy enough when I was offered a kabritu (goat) cappuccino with whipped fresh milk, together with a little tasting of the cheese and yoghurt. When I tried the cheese, ideas of grilled bruschetta, good extra virgin olive oil, fresh oregano and a hint of lime came to mind. So after I came home with a suitcase full of cheese, I made myself a delicious goat cheese bruschetta. I hope you enjoy the recipe!

Expedition Trinidad

February 4, 2015 By Helmi Smeulders Leave a Comment

Beautiful Trinidad

Beautiful Trinidad

With a “you are beautiful” and a “you are gorgeous” we are welcomed at the airport of Trinidad. What a great start of our first culinary expedition!

We take a taxi to the capital Port of Spain and immediately hit the street (food). It is 2 weeks before Carnival and we are happy to find the big Queen’s Park Savannah bustling with food stalls. We take our job seriously and immediately get to work.

We start with a portion of Pholourie. This is a popular streetfood and consists of fried dough balls served with different kinds of chutney. The balls taste rather bland, but the combination with a delicious mango chutney makes up for any lack of flavor. When we also try the Geera, which is flavorful curried chicken, we are already convinced that the Trini’s know their way around the kitchen. Of course, this expedition requires that we try a lot more of the local food and we are happy to indulge.

The next couple of days, we are busy eating our way through the local menu. We eat Doubles for breakfast (a flat bread with curried chickpeas) and have lunch at the delightful Veni Mangé restaurant. It is situated in an old colonial home on Ariapita Avenue and decorated with colorful furniture, local art and tropical plants. On the menu are typical Trini dishes like Coco Bake, Callaloo Soup, Saltfish Accras (fritters) and Stewed Beef with Dumplings. We eat the famous Bake & Shark at Richards in Maracas Beach, which consists of deep-fried shark served in a fried dough pita. Served with lots of fresh toppings, delicious sauces and chutneys, it quickly becomes one of our favorite dishes.

One day, we stop at a roadside food stall to try Chow, which is made with unripe fruits marinated in a brine of water, garlic, hot pepper, chadon beni and salt. Our favorite is the one with green mango. Chadon beni, or culantro, is the country’s national herb and is used in many dishes. Its taste resembles that of cilantro. We love it, particularly as a chutney.

We drive through the beautiful Northeastern part of the island, down adventurous jungle roads, and make our way to Grande Riviere, a small fishing village on the North Coast. On the way, we see banana trees, cacao trees, lots of mango trees, papaya trees, nutmeg trees and fairy-tale pomerac trees filled with beautiful red fruits. To us it feels like being in a jungle candy store. The unspoiled beauty of the island amazes us. We pass deserted beaches without any big resorts or hotels. Trinidad is pure and is, as one of the few Caribbean islands, not affected by the results of tourism. Unbelievable that we are only a 1,5 hour flight away from Curacao!

In Grand Riviere we spend two nights in the Mt. Plaisir Estate Hotel, a lovely small beach hotel. It is owned by Piero, an Italian photographer who came to Trinidad 21 years ago for a photoshoot and never left.

We almost forget that this is a food expedition, instead of a holiday. But we pick ourselves together, manage to leave our bikini’s in the suitcase and make our way into the kitchen for some Trini cooking. We spend the day making Pone (a delicious dessert made of grated yucca, coconut and pumpkin), Callaloo Soup (made with huge jungle leaves) and Kingfish cooked in Banana Leaves. Fresh coconuts are bashed open, grated and used in many of the dishes. With only a few ingredients and no cook books in sight, the chefs of Mt. Plaisir manage to make many flavorful dishes. We are impressed.

Cooking Trini-style

Too soon, it is time to leave. We load up our suitcases with lots of jungle fruits and some tasty local cheeses made by Piero and hit the crooked coastal road to get back to Port of Spain. We have not yet seen the scorpion pepper plantations (which we learned is the hottest pepper in the world!) or visited the organic market in Santa Cruz, but it is time to go. We have learned (and eaten) a lot and will definitely come back for more.

Because Trinidad, you are gorgeous!
