Pan Chicken in Liguanea

It's a Friday night, went for a drink won't say where....(another blog post) but as you know, one can't just have a drink others will follow. I hoped to get home at 10pm. But it's now 1am but, who is checking on time. I'm starving. 

Options for food at 1am are limited but the ever faithful Hopeton in Liguanea has always been my savior from those pangs of hunger. 

I grew up in Mona so I've come to have a great rapport with the Hopeton. I have been having that chicken since me eye deh a me knee. When I think about it he has been there at that same spot for well over 35 years. 

I usually have chicken breast quarter with National Giant Hardo Sliced Bread, and sometimes grab another piece for good measure. 

Well I roll up to the spot and maybe there are 6 or 7 patrons there, Indian greets me well and asks "waapen Bossy the usual? " I say why would I change after so long, he says "we have breadfruit to enuh", "two slices for me" I responded. 

Then he further up sells...."u nuh Waa try the lamb to".

Well can I tell you...Jerk Lamb by Hopeton is one of the best food treats around town, I think they only do it on weekends though. 

I could not resist I had a quarter pound of that too. The wild gamy  flavour of the lamb with smoky Jerk flavour is definitely a hit and very hard to resist once you have tried it. 

I have never had any regrets whenever I visit Hopeton for Pan Tucky. I love Jamaican Street Food and Pan chicken is definitely the King of that pile.

There are over a dozen pan chicken spots scattered all over Kingston but for me Hopeton is the best.

Thanks for reading See you soon.....
