“What do you call Chinese doubles?” This was the question Russell Aching asked his friends when he first got the idea for Chinese doubles nearly two years ago. The answer was, of course, choubles. Choubles is just one example of the evolution of doubles, the popular street food that has now surpassed its Indian origins to become a truly Trini phenomenon. 

Aching and his wife, Joelle Bellemare-Aching, head up the advertising agency Saga Studios. During an interview at their offices in Diego Martin on Monday, Aching explained that choubles was an extension of the creative projects produced by Saga Studios.

Choubles are different to doubles for a few reasons. Firstly, instead of the common bara, choubles use bing. Bing is a Chinese bread also used in street food in China.  

At the Choubles spot on the corner of Petra Street and Ariapita Avenue, Woodbrook, bing is made fresh on a grill using sesame seed oil and seeds and scallions.  

The channa filling is curried but infused with a blend of Chinese spices. If you want “double chouble,” you can add egg or Chinese-style chicken.  Choubles are sold on Fridays and Saturdays from 6 pm.

I tried it a few times, I must say it is a bit unique. However, it's not going to be a "I must do this" item. Once in a while yes, I will make the trek to the west for choubles.
