The fusion vibe of chef kriss (like coffee) Kofi will be present at this family friendly event and he’s showing off his delicate creation.
Chef kriss kofi, owner of treelion restaurant: “ackee salt fish wonton peppa pot soup so this is like an asian cuisine from an afro perspective. The dumplings that traditional jamaican chefs would use in a soup, i replaced that with the wonton. So i sauteed up the ackee salt fish and then i stuffed it in the wonton soup, steamed it, then boiled it. You’ve never seen this one before. It’s exclusive.”
There’s no wrong way to eat a spoonful of this yumminess.
Chef kriss kofi: “i do know when jamaicans eat dumpling they gonna bite piece of it and you know. I’m just really looking forward to being around a whole bunch of jamaican people because we did just get hit with a big hurricane. So i’m just looking for collective love.”
