Playing cut-throat dominoes with Michy


Was walking around flower hill and came across michy who insisted to stop for a chat. he was making some food and when i saw the dominoes on the table across from his hut i demanded my first ever proper game of dominoes, jamaican style!

Turns out Michy had a few restaurants in London, mostly south and one of them still stands at tooting broadway market. promised to check it out and call him from london. Safe and sound...

He proudly offered us some food and lesson about cooking. Delicious!
