OOOOOKK!!! NOW it get's teary eyed right here and the explanation of the title of my trip report... I Will Stay With You!...
The last full day in Jamaica and I decide that I was going to find the fried chicken place that I went to many years ago (had THE BEST fried chicken I have tasted, it tasted just like my momma's!!) and to get another taste of jerk pork!! One day when me and Mr. FIONESEXY were out driving we past by this road with a bar and I made note of the exact location for furture reference!!! So on my last full day I woke up, showered and dressed and went to SxyATL's room where her and MsDreadyV were relaxing and after a while I said "I'm going to get me some frien chicken and jerk pork!!" and they said "we going with you" and off we went. Outside of Rayon at the Elvis Bike Rental are taxi drivers that we use and I asked Romaine if he could take me to that jerk spot he took me too the other night (the pork wasn't that great because it was the last bit and near closing time) cuz I wanted to try it freshly cooked. I told him that I wanted to go to a fried chicken spot and I think I remember how to get there and he said "sure hop in"
So we head down the beach road towards the roundabout and I tell him to go left like you going to Sheffield, we are looking for a bar that sits on the right where the bikers hangout and it is across from a huge orange wall. OK...so we ride and ride and ride ... and a time or two I hear from the peanut gallery in the backseat "uuhhh YoYo are we lost", "you sure you know where you are going" and I say "we not lost and I do know" but I was starting to second guess my own self, LOL!!! AHH HHAA..THERE IT IS TURN HERE TURN HERE is what I tell him and up the road we go and I say "we are looking for a small cookshop and up from it is a white house" We past many white houses and cookshops until we reach it and I say THAT'S IT...RIGHT HERE!!! He pulls up in the yard and we get out and I am all smiles...after all these years I FINALLY found this place again.
*PAUSE* for a briefe explanation of how I came across this place: A few years back I was in Jamaica alone and was out walking and a cabbie pulled over to chat me up, we exchanged numbers and we called and wanted to take me out to the country side...well who was I to say NO (I am always up for an adverture), LOL. He took me to his house and then we took me to this cookshop where all the locals that lived in the area would go to after work. Well I had only been there that one time but the chicken made just that much of an impression on me that I have been determined to get back...but I didn't keep in touch with the cabbie so I had no way of knowing where it was located. BUT lucky that I pay very close attention to where I go when I venture out with strangers in Jamaica!!!
*back to chicken place* Ladies and Gents the name of the cookshop is Ms. Etty's and it is located in Orange Hill...I didn't get a good pic of the actual shop because I was too excited that I found it!!!
These are a few pics of the ride coming back down from Orange Hill:
