We also went to see the Blow Holes (teehee):

Magnificent. Powerful. We were impressed for about a minute, took pictures and left so that we could continue the Jerk Chicken Tours.

We ended up going to Di Kit-Chin, where we had the fried snapper fish and of course, jerk chicken. The fish looked really dead. P really enjoyed it, because she loves eating all the fish with bones. As a lazy person, I did not care too much for all the little bones in the fish, but it was not unpalatable. The chicken was great, but I would have to say that it isn’t quite as good or fresh as Sam’s. Not sure if it’s because it was a Sunday and they weren’t expecting much traffic (so thankful they were open on Sunday!).

Interesting conversation there too:

Man we met at Di Kit-Chin (DKC): Where you guys from?
Me: Canada! Have you been?
DKC: No, I haven’t. Have you been to Jamaica?
Me: No, should I?
DKC: Yes! Good weed there, you can walk around with it!

Is this what people usually talk to Canadians about?

In conclusion of the tours, Sam’s really won. There might be other places. Recommendations welcome, in case I ever go back (fat chance).

According to Google, Sam’s Quality Jerk & More! is the place to get the very best jerk chicken on the island. H found this, and after our little foray around Cabana Bay, we were ready for food. Maybe we weren’t quite ready to be greeted by the piles of meat at the entrance of the shop:

Piles of very fresh meat, and extremely spicy jerk sauce (be careful with this sauce). I was very excited for an affordable meal that would actually be filling. We also came back again on the morning of Day 4, simply because it was so irresistible. They open in the morning at 7AM for breakfast usually, except Sunday, when they’re closed all day on. Why, you might wonder? 

H asked one of the cooks, “Are you guys open tomorrow?” (GCM Day 2 for us was on a Saturday).

The man chopping the meat chuckled, “No man, CHURCH!”

Imagine a Jamaican accent.

This was a once in a lifetime trip to the Grand Cayman Islands, with about 20 of my friends to attend VinJu’s Grand Celebration of Marriage (GCM haha). Ju had 20 of her family members there too, so to make all of our lives easier, they rented out 5 beach front houses on the north side of the island at a property called Ocean Paradise. Beautiful, isn’t it?

Right after getting off the plane and after getting used to the fact that we’d be drenched in sweat for the entire trip in the humid climate of the island, we decided to get a quick lunch. The groomsmen had arrived a day earlier, so they knew a great spot for chicken, called Chicken!Chicken!:

It’s not hot inside the cramped restaurant, despite the open oven roasting all the chickens, probably because the AC was blaring.

We had the lunch menu. Left side contained the 1/2 chicken with rice, and on the right side, you can see the vegetable side option with a bit of the cornbread. The chicken was absolutely melt off the bone perfect, but I didn’t find the sides all that spectacular.

Off to 7 Mile Beach to chill:

Everybody was exploring the clear green water, and sinking into the sand. After half an hour more of sun, I was exhausted, and just wanted to head back to the house. Some people just have more energy in them for this type of frolicking by the water.

I’m not one of those people.

This was just the start of the jerk chicken tour at GCM.
