After staying at Pigeon Point Paradise Villa in Pigeon Point, Tobago, I had to give you guys a tour of this amazing villa. Join me on a luxury villa tour in Tobago before we dig into some breakfast!
It’s situated near the airport, has three rooms, and fits roughly eight people. They also have a pool, a kitchen and kitchenette, WiFi, and a pool!

There’s a nice living room and a kitchenette with a sink and stocked cabinets. The first bedroom contains two twin beds. Just off it is a washer/dryer and a private bathroom. The bathroom has a door that leads straight to the pool!
Upstairs is the main kitchen with a stove, fridge, microwave, and cabinets. Outside the kitchen is the terrace, where you can eat overlooking the pool. There are other balconies, too. There’s lots of space!
The family room was a big room with a twin bed, high ceilings, and a queen-sized bed. This was where I slept! Further on is a room for couples. It has its own terrace and has lots of storage space.
My favorite feature was a framed map of Tobago on the wall. Then, Jason and I headed to get some breakfast after staying there for three days.
We headed to Rosie’s Homestyle Bakery, where they sell lots of fried dishes. I saw some items that looked like croissants and empanadas, as well as currant rolls, coconut bakes, fried shark, cheese pies, and more!
I went with an orange juice. They also had carrot bakes, whole wheat bake, fry bake, saltfish accras, bhaji, saltfish buljol, sausages with onion and ketchup, and corned beef!
Jason loaded my plate with bhaji; sausages with ketchup, peppers and onions; corned beef; carrot bake; fry bake; hops bread; whole wheat bake; saltfish accras; . The hops bread looked so fluffy! The carrot bake was baked, the fry bake was fried, and the whole wheat bake was roasted in a cast iron pot.
The carrot bake with the corned beef hash and bhaji was excellent. I also loved the hops bread with the sausages. It was fluffy and comforting!
The fry bake with the saltfish buljol was a nice combination, and the saltfish accras were basically like fish hush puppies! I liked the whole wheat bake with a little bit of everything! There were so many amazing flavors and textures!
It was a flaky Cuban pastry with a sweet hot dog inside! It was also very buttery. Adding some mango chutney was really delicious!
Meanwhile, the cheese pie reminded me of an empanada. It was filled with a local cheddar cheese, which was mixed with local spices. It was a whole textural sensation! I liked that we could eat something new every day in these islands!
Then, we headed to the airport, where we saw some packaged bene balls, which are sesame seed balls rolled with molasses and bene sticks. They also had tamarind balls, coconut balls, and papaya balls. We got some bene sticks and papaya balls!
The papaya balls were like a chewy, dense donut. It had a grainy texture and was coated in lots of sugar! The bene sticks were hard, nutty, and dense. I loved them!

OMG I feel like a tourist in my own country looking at this. Love love love the content. I need to go Tobago ASAP
Thank you so much!!
Ikr. Benched watched and decided I need to take my son on a road trip. It just makes you appreciate your country more.
@@tanishadavid3753 Indeed
Hi David😊 you really need to return to Trinidad and Tobago to experience our Christmas season. It is like no other on Earth; the food and soca parang music are the best. Love how you showcase my country and its people. Thank you.
For real
Yes yes, I went in mid December and stayed through Carnival. There no place on earth as awesome as T and T.
MKE SURE JASON THE PARROT AND HIS MACAW GF IS NOT THERE WHEN HE VISITS !!
I definitely need to!
@@Davidsbeenhere you definitely should
I feel we need like 10 more episodes. David, I know you have material out there just upload them lol. And if you really coming back for carnival, be prepared because you will have little time to rest 🤣. That will be an epic series. This series was great. In the 8 days you were there you covered a lot and it's appreciated. Respect.
Tobago is being highlighted beautifully, food the comfy villa for any tourist, great local breakfast and sweets. Thanks David and as always safe on all your travels.
hi beauty
Thank you so much!
@@Davidsbeenhere your welcome
do you have whatsapp
@@Davidsbeenhere I do not understand why do you have to pay every meal for all..yes you need tour guide,you have you to eat but why paying all meals and besides that chefJ.eats lots of it..crasy🙃
Sugar Cake (made with coconut); Tamarind Balls; Paw Paw Balls (Papaya); Bene Balls/Sticks (Sesame seeds); Nut Cake (Peanuts in syrup) and Toolum (coconut and molasses (18:45-18:52) are Afro-Creole sweets. Versions are found in the other Caribbean islands as well. A shared West African heritage in the Caribbean.
Oh boy they sure sound delicious love to try them
Thank you David for truly representing my country sweet T&T🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹. More grace to you. Come back anytime.
Trinidad and Tobago is beautiful 💖
❤️❤️❤️ ❤️❤️the way you ended your stay in Tobago. You really got a great taste of the lower part of the island. Have you ever check out the cost of food on each food trip you take from country to country, compared to the cost in US.? When you have completed all of your must visit places, can you say which are your most loved ones? Stay safe, be blessed. Thank you for being here 🇹🇹.
I just love how with every bite David goes Mmmhm & He puts the mango chutney on almost everything!🖒
Watching from the UK, really makes me miss home. Great content Mr Peru you did a great job.
Proud of you. Only criticism is Trinidad, is not only about curries, we love it, but there was no balance, being a very cosmopolitan Island.
Although you praised Peru, he was the one to blame for so many curried food. He is there promoting Chief Brand Curry products because he is affiliated with the company. Besides the food, he did nothing to talk about Trinidad and Tobago's history and culture. As a Trinidadian living abroad, I saw a lot of things that I had not seen before especially in Tobago through David's eyes and research. So all congratulations go to DAVID.
Yes true because its multicultural. I hoping that he eats more local creole cuisine.
@@JudyT868 that chief brand thing is an assumption that you have no proof of in these videos, also they experienced alot of different foods in the little time David had here, maybe if you removed your hatred blinders you'd see that.
David Me and my wife are so loving your content of Trinidad and Tobago ! We are super fans -always well informed from your videos . As a West Indian from Guyana ( South America )which is Trinidad and Tobago family country - I am very surprised by chef Jason not entirely talking about the influence on some of the foods there from my country ! Many of these foods are very similar , identical and have heritage from my home but he never mentions ! I am so upset that he had to call a cheese roll a cheese pie lol because no one ever calls it that nor is it labeled like that when sold ( he knows to as well). I am not a big fan of Chef Jason at all I understand he’s your guide but his patriotic attitude and negligence towards its cousin nation and its big influence is so mind boggling ! Trinidad and Tobago like Guyana consists of many ethnic groups but it mainly consist of Indians from India and Africans from colonial days which makes up the blended cultural cuisines. It’s sad Chef Jason mis informs you of how certain things are in the nation of T&T . I honestly am not digging him But non the less, we are glad your having fun and hope someday you can visit Guyana - we will continue watching for more great content !
You are doing awesome job showing off our country enjoy all the sweets of the island food and scenery the hotels are top of the line be bless my friend❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So glad you enjoy yourself and bigging up our twin island nice
Really, really love ALL of your videos. Somehow you've managed to highlight the simplest food in a way that makes it stand out. I love your enthusiasm and how much you enjoy yourself trying these dishes. Happy you've liked our flavors. Sometimes when I tell my American friends or ask them about things like canned corned beef, I'm met with a little skepticism and a little snobbery. You've tried so many different dishes and loved all of them, it's heart warming and joyous to watch. I'm also glad you met Jason Peru and crew. Our way of using fresh seasoning, herbs more than likely has contributed to happy, healthier people. I hope your Trinidad & Tobago experience was enough to make you return at some future date and as a commenter said below, it would be amazing if you were a part of our Christmas season. Thank you for making and sharing these foodie vids, our tourism sector should sponsor your next trip!
Morning david and crew sweet breakfast cannot go wrong thanks to you lots of couñtry will know of our wonderful island when u go home have a safe trip and be bless ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you David..for your visit to our twin island. I thoroughly enjoyed every video and look forward to your Iran series. Be safe on your travels and we welcome you to visit again.
Really nice video vibes and delicious breakfast. ❤️😘👏😋Yummy David 👍 well done.
David your Tobago videos really showcase the beauty of the place thanks for sharing cheers from Orlando ❤️✌️
Omg!! Your videos on Trinidad & Tobago got me so hungry! Will be totally indulging on my next trip to Trinidad and Tobago! The things I took for granted when I lived there 20 years ago. Geezzz! Thank you for sharing my country, culture and people with the world. ✨🇹🇹✨
Exceptional job highlighting our Twin Islands of Trinidad and Tobago David. Hope you enjoyed our fusion of foods and our culture.
Wow so amazing David and chef Jason great videos love how you highlighted our beautiful island of Trinidad and Tobago and all those delicious local cuisine blessing to you keep safe 💕
Hello from the Bahamas🇧🇸
Am so proud of my beautiful country Trinidad and Tobago amazing job great job David and also all host well done showcasing our beautiful Caribbean Jem and jewel
I have been watching David's videos for a long time and this is the first series where I have seen him not get to explain to us for himself what he's experiencing. The other guy keeps talking all the way through 😓. I understand that he is the guide and he seems knowledgeable but sometimes it is too much. We want to hear David too...
Same thing we are saying, we want go hear it from David the content creator but don't let it take away from what you are seeing. Trinidad and Tobago is amazing
@@someperson4397 No worries 👍 😉 Your country is very beautiful.
Same, as a Trini, he is very pushy and I hope viewers don't think all of us are like this.
Elizabeth: he is taking the limelight. He doesn't want David to say too much because in a previous comment, he said to someone that if she wanted to hear David talk that she should go and watch David's other videos. So you can see where his priorities lie - all on him and he doesn't know much at all. So in a way David is kinda showing him up because David was well prepared and knew more than him.
@@JudyT868 I agree..this is the same person ( Jason Peru) in which showed complete disregard and disrespect to a local TH-camr who was highlighting a Chinese restaurant that caters for its Muslim customers along with people who don't eat pork and he commented that ' pork is life' then proceeded to show a video with cut up 🐖. He deleted all the comments that rebuffed him for such and left the ones that supported his disrespect. I used to follow his page to a point where I was going to purchase his recipe book... Glad I didn't waste my money. I Respect people and their culture just because they don't like or do like i do doesn't mean I will disrespect their beliefs but rather learn and enjoy their food.
Love your T&T vlogs! Hope you enjoyed your stay and thank you for sharing and showcasing our beautiful twin islands food and different cultures!
Didn't say what you thought of the sausage ketchup dish...lol.
Your content is amazing.....Love from India ❤❤❤
Thanks bro!!
First time hearing David saying that this is a lot of food :)
One thing I know about the Caribbean the FOOD tells all about it colonial pass from the Natives, African, East Indian, Chinese n European
Yep some people seem to forget that some how...
The street-side gyros have now added another element - the Syrian heritage. It took some time for the cuisine to go mainstream. It was previously known mostly within the Syrian community. Lawrence of Arabia and Joseph's were two of the forerunners who showcased the Syrian-Lebanese food.
Loving this series second to your trip to Georgia
Oh the sweets of tobago yummy you let me veiw my country and it was wonderful thank u for letting me view my country ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love how he keeps adding chutney sauce
He supposed to do the trini thing and do half orange half grapefruit juice. Awesome video!
Absolutely love Rosie's bakery. When we visited Tobago, we lived there...from breafast to mid afternoon snacks. Some days we couldn't wait for them to open :)
Lovely villa, breakfast was looking so good. And paw paw candy my childhood favorite. Loving all your videos. Thank you David❤❤❤
Saltfish Buljol (shredded saltfish, tomatoes, onion, garlic and traditionally olive oil ), Accra and the stewing of fish, poultry or meats in a tomato, onion and garlic sauce are the contributions from West Africa but are now called Creole food in the New World.
This tour of Tobago is well deserved 👏 Dios Bendiga Mano.
Hey Jason, your audio has improved and we can hear you much better! Both of you did a good job explaining things back and forth and sharing the stage nicely. Great job!
Y'all are mad annoying in these comments 🙄 relax!! Kudos to David and Chef Jason on showcasing our beautiful country. 🇹🇹❤
I definitely I agree with you on this one
Another epic episode David !!!
Well David!! You ,Jason and the entire crew did an amazing showcasing of Tobago. You sir I can say thoroughly enjoyed what the twin island state offered on your venture to a sweet country. I do hope you sincerely go back and sorta complete your food journey as you only scratched the surface of all what the big island offer .Trust me when I tell you there are much more brand cuisine and drinks. On a lighter note I had to laugh my ass off when Jason said "boy about taking back the food on your flight. It's a way of speaking in the islands and you and I both know that would not work state side as one might end up getting a "hurt" hahahahaha! and Jason honestly apart from me possibly being his personal guide(wink) you did a fantastic job brother, but ease up on using the word "unadulterated" so much...😆
This made me crave toolum (the coconut molasses ball). Haven't made them in a while.
Great video.....👍🏿🇹🇹
Lovely breakfast 👍🥪🥞🥖
Hello David. Love from Suriname
Ihre Videos sind fantastisch. Ich mag Ihre Inhalte am liebsten
I love David’s reactions when eating, I’d learn to cook Trini food for him, just to see his reactions🫣
David, If you see this, did you like the sausages in ketchup? I’m sure Trinidad changed your mind about ketchup. But the ketchup in Trinidad tastes better than the US. I purchase ketchup from Caribbean grocery stores in the US. I’m sure you can find it in Miami too.
🇹🇹❤️🇹🇹❤️🇹🇹
I heard a bit of a local accent from Dave today. You're turning into a Trinidadian!
Thumbs up for the great work guys 👍😁😂🤣✌
It so good seeing my auntie place being featured for breakfast I need to go back to Tobago soon Rosie’s calling me
Greetings from Jamaica.
Wow beautiful villa, yummy food
Wow... My one time in Tobago we stayed at 178 Seashell Villa. These are the most beautiful Villas ever. I must go back, however I feel David just caused a hike in the price with his visit 😄. Tobago sweets are different. I haven't had a bene ball or chilli beebee in forever. I see a weekend family visit coming up soon🤭. David I hope you got to visit Lopinot and Paramin villages to experience their culinary lifestyle. Enjoy.
Love the videos but Peru talks too much gang. But keep up the great work! Waiting on the next one
Can’t wait to watch ur Iran tour♥️
yummy food great places to visit
The nice part about migration and that includes colonies etc, is people take things, make them their own. If it works, it persists, if not it goes.
For example, corona beer and a lime, was a fad in the UK, its gone. Curry on the other hand, has been completely adopted, and changed as well. British Indian Restaurant curries are an entire cuisine in their own right. The corned beef in this is another example
People didn’t migrate to the colonies, most were brought my force. Most are descendants of slave trade and indentured slaves. Migrate sounds so peaceful, it wasn’t peaceful….
Also there are Indian descendants in Trinidad and Tobago, 43% of the population so yes curry is part of our being. It wasn’t introduced by the British, it was the Indian people who were brought there as indentured slaves not laborers.
🙄
@@Ajm833 almost right. I have an adopted aunt from Jaimaca. Indian and Guyanese ancestry. She is 105 and still going.
So curry was brought by the indentured labour. Same as Fiji where I’ve also lived. Corn beef in the video is British/Argentine. In Fiji there are Australian meat pies with a Brit origin. It gets tried if it’s liked it survives and modified to a new taste and by the availability of local ingredients. Even India look at what veg is an import. All chilli for example was bought there by europeans
@@Nickle314 I was speaking about curry, not corned beef.
Also I spoke on the conditions people’s ancestors were brought to the islands.
I didn’t speak on corned beef etc etc…
If you wanna say something, speak on the white man giving the slaves the parts of meat they don’t want and the slaves turning it into tasty food. All parts of the chicken, pig and cow is used: gizzards, chicken foot, pig tails etc is sold plentiful in TT. I can tell you no Kroger or Publix, Whole Foods in US sell chicken foot.. sometimes you see gizzard… rarely.
There’s no argument. Corn beef was also very cheap so yes it was cheap for families to stretch a meal, so is sausage stir fried with onions etc. When people have many mouths to feed they will cook cheap things that can stretch. This is why corn beef survived. Rice, corn beef and cabbage is what Trinidadians cook. Now corned beef is expensive like everything else. So that’s the real reason corned beef survived. Because it was cheap and can be stretched, and this is the way poor people who the Britished enslaved survived… while the British monarch live off the sweat of these people…it wasn’t about preference, it’s about survival…
The British stole more from Africa and India than it ever gave to them. 🙄
@@Ajm833 I mentioned both, you're the one trying to twist things. Unlike the slaves, the Indians who went had a choice,.
David the ketchup sausages are bombbbb weird but bombbbb 😋😋
Yesssss
We put ketchup on a lot of things others don't such as Chinese food and pizza, enhances all the flavor with umammi
@@curtisthomas2670 yess ur making me hungry 😋
@@curtisthomas2670 🤭don’t try American ketchup on American pizza. This only works for Trinidad pizza and Trinidad ketchup.
love your videos! You must do some food spots we have in ft. lauderdale florida!l
I've watched the entire Trinidad and Tobago tour and you should definitely visit for the Christmas season. As some of the foods around that time is seasonal and could not be featured here.
Awesome, just yesterday i was wondering if you got to Rosie's Bakery. I get breakfast there often.
what a big breakfast!!!!
Awesome.
As a Brit , corned beef should look like that as a hash type 🤟, looks good though all of it 👍
The corned beef is tinned.
That little rental would be perfect for your wife & kids David.
Perfect for a couple of weeks vacation with no hassle with your kids coming with you & your wife.
He's divorced!
Amazing
David king khaled missed you so much
Thanks for sharing!
Omg i just stayed here with our family
🔊🔊🔊SOOOOOUNDIT!!! #TobagoLove
So David. How was your Trinidad and Tobago experience?
When Africans x West Indians x Chinese get into the kitchen together in a beautiful island in the Caribbean = you're in trouble.
love your video Thank you David
I stayed in this vila two months ago
David love your show when you get back to Trinidad check out the place call the Midas touch one of the best hamburgers of Trinidad up on the lookout take a tour and a taste
Should have also had the PEANUT BRITTLE!
I really enjoyed this T&T series and David I know you had a wonderful time. You must have gained at least 8 pounds Lolz
my best bro david your friend is awesome thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries germans russians lot of love 💙
Come to the East🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yes !!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I love ur voice ...devid
Absolutely
🤤 Nuff said!
A love this too!
Wow did Jason say creole? I had no idea that Trinidad and Tobago had creole influenced food!
That's sarcasm people... I said that because it's something that's frequently not mentioned especially in the Trinidad videos for some reason. It paints inaccurate image of T&T. After about 17 videos creole influence on trini cuisine wasn't explained and when mentioned the 3 times it was brushed off. I expected better from someone who's both a trini and chef. This wasn't so with other ethnic influences each an accurate display and explanation. I hope David can return at Christmas time and experience all the things he missed out, but with a guide who's not so pushy and so focused about promoting Chef brand products. Someone who would accurately represent T&T. You know, someone who knows our history in addition to our cuisine and respects personal space. David if you see this I also hope you were able to enjoy your stay regardless. Safe travels, I look forward to seeing you at other Caribbean islands. 👋
@aria mason 🤦♂️ I'm talking about trini food and it's cultural influences. You're the one who brought up race. Just because I said Chef brand products you think it's racist shows where your mind's at. You think Chef only makes curry and that is racist. Chef products don't equate to Indian. Jason is the Chef brand products ambassador. Stop trying to virtue signal here leave that crap for your backyard.
I agree. As an Indo-Trinidadian it was disappointing to see that the focus was mainly on curry and the East Indian influence. ALL of us Trinis eat Pelau, Stew, Callaloo etc but he made it seem like we barely eat it and we eat curry all the time. David was truly at a disadvantage having a host like this
David you're a trinbago man you better come back an enjoylots more u haven't enjoy
What's up 😀 danger boy miss you take care
☺️🇹🇹🖤niceness
Hello
Uhum 😋😋😋👍
Nice

Chef Jason. Push up wii
Jason try payin d bill sometimes.
What's the name of this villa?
There's something very attractive about a man drowning his food in hot sauce 😋
Peru could've paid for something too ... lol!
Wtf look how big them sausage roll is lmao
Nah , i eatin hops and cheese for breakfast.
Peru is just NASTY. Enough said. He watched David pay and he doesn't even offer to help pay for his share. He is getting free food courtesy of David.
