Chef Craig Wong’s recent trip to Jamaica to reunite with his family featured a whole roast goat, fresh island produce and the world’s best KFC. 'I got to share with my sons where our food comes from'
I was born in Scarborough, but a lot of my family lives in Jamaica. I usually go back to spend time with my cousins. After my youngest son, Knox, was born in 2019, my wife, Ivy, and I talked about another visit. I wanted my sons to have a connection to Jamaica and to experience the things that I grew up doing, like finding frogs in a creek and watching goats being raised.
In Kingston, we stayed with my cousin Lisa and her family. They live in a townhouse in a neighbourhood called Liguanea, a community of about 40 homes. We were all in a bit of a daze when we arrived , so for Christmas, we kept things casual and just got KFC for dinner. Jamaican KFC is incredible: the quality of the chicken is better, and they use a stronger seasoning.
New Year’s Eve was another potluck. The community all got together for a big block party, and everyone prepared their favourite dishes. One person brought out a drum pan to cook drum pan chicken. Another made rice and peas. Our family made glazed ham and crème brûlée. But none of us made it to the countdown—we were exhausted and in bed before midnight, myself and Ivy included.
