Plantain
Plantains, a staple in Latin cuisine, are served up in a variety of delicious ways. Whether sweet or savory, they bring a unique flavor and texture to the table. You might find them fried to a golden crisp, creating tantalizing tostones (twice-fried plantains) that are crunchy on the outside and soft inside, often served with a sprinkle of salt or a side of tangy dipping sauce. Alternatively, they might be ripe and caramelized, offering a naturally sweet contrast to savory dishes. Plantains, versatile and flavorful, are an essential side dish that beautifully complements any meal.

Just visited La Caribena Kitchen in Melbourne, and I'm impressed! It's super clean and well-organized, which made dining there a breeze. The staff were all about respect and courtesy, making us feel really valued. And the prices? Absolutely awesome for the quality you get. I tried the 2 Piece Fried Chicken with Plantain - my first dive into Dominican food, and it was a hit! Definitely going back.

I just ate at La Caribena Kitchen and what an experience! The Chimi (Dominican burger) was amazing, and the toasted bagel with egg and cheese, along with the coffee, brightened my day. Everything about this place is excellent, from the food to the service. A real treasure in Melbourne!
