Chow Har Look

Chinese food is as much a part of Trinidadian culture as East Indian or African dishes, though Trinidadians of Chinese descent are today relatively few in number and are largely mixed with the rest of the population. Like American Chinese food, many Trinidadian Chinese dishes, such as Chow Har Look (shrimp in tomato sauce), don’t exist back in China, but are hybrids of local taste and Chinese cooking methods.
