Friday 3rd June 2011. Its about 5 pm and today since being back in the Seychelles Islands I managed to avoid eating lunch after evading several invites! Not that I did not want an opportunity to dine and sample some delicious Creole dishes! However 2 items led me to decide this day to ‘soldier’ on thru lunch and get some work and meetings done! First was that I had work to do and second I wanted to avoid the afternoon ‘siesta’ which seems to be overtaking me of late especially after a fine delicious lunch! J
I made it thru most of the day when driving in town, Victoria, the capital of the Seychelles I noticed a little trailer parked in the corner of a make shift car park where once the Shell petrol station had stood.
Immediately I noticed the sign on it, ‘Rams TakeAway’ and noticed that the ‘establishment was still open at 5pm. What amused me was the fact that I could drive my car right up to the parked concessions stand in what I dubbed a ‘Seychellois’ drive thru in homage to the well established drive thru’s which now dot many landscapes in the USA and beyond!
I pulled up and got out of the car and immediately smelled what I had been hoping for and that was a delicious styled hamburger 'a la Creole'!
The owner of the stand, which was built from a wrecked mini bus, was a very nice young entrepreneur by the name of Ronny. We got to talking and before I knew it I had wolfed down several of his delicious cooked beef burgers seasoned with spices Creole style! Delicious!
So when next in the Seychelles I do recommend stopping by and sampling the meals that Ronny prepares for you in his self made restaurant on wheels, all quite clean and presentable and at great prices!
Rams’ is located across from Teemooljee’s at what used to be the Shell petrol station. The area is now a make shift parking for cars and home to Ram’s TakeAway! A must stop place for wonderful simple but fast meals!
Tell Ronny that Raymond sent you. He will offer up a great warm smile and a delicious Creole style burger! Now on to my next meeting!
P.S. Ronny tells me is is there daily from about 0930 onwards closing late! :)
