Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery

I’ve been in this Golden Krust several times over the years for the patties, but this was my first time ordering a meal. I ordered a ‘small’ Stewed Chicken, Rice and Peas, and Cabbage. On the side I got a Cod Fritter and Sweet Potato Pudding. The size of the ‘small’ is anything but small. It can serve two people or in my case, lasted 2 meals.
The Stewed Chicken flavor is soo on point! Delicious gravy, and the ever-​present bit of background heat from Scotch Bonnet lurking in every bite. Seriously good eats. Now my Cod Fritter was just ok, I think I may have gotten an ‘end-​of-​the-​day’ remaining one. I should know that fritters are best when just out of the frying, so I won’t hold that against them.
And the Sweet Potato Pudding… This was my first time having it and it was a nice treat. Having had the two, I do prefer Bread Pudding, (also for sale there) but that is just a personal choice.
I’m glad I have finally ordered a meal here because the few Jamaican spots here in Mount Vernon are sometimes hit or miss. So now, having tasted one of my favorite dishes, I’ll be sure to be back to try the Curry Goat, or Oxtail for dinner and Ackee for breakfast.
