The other day I went to a Japanese restaurant for my friends birthday. As you all may know I dont eat seafood, but….. She made me try the rock shrimp. It was delicious! The way it was fried, and glazed all worked together so well. I will definitely try it again in different restaurants.

Fette Sau’s is a popular BBQ joint located in Williamsburg Brooklyn at 354 Metropolitan Ave. They are open 7 days a week. On Monday- Thursday from 5pm-11pm and Friday to Sunday from 12pm-11pm. They are known and popular for their dry-rub style of BBQ, beers and bourbon. They have a very rustic cafeteria style setting and dining area and serve their food in metal cafeteria trays. The Ambiance of the place is very relaxing with music playing, dim lighting and the smell of BBQ all in the air. The bar is stacked with a variety of bourbon and planety of beers on tap. The cafeteria like tables all have different types of BBQ sauces on them as well as a roll of paper towels. When we got there it just opened up for the day and there were already customers waiting outside waiting for the doors top open. We ordered the Brisket, the pulled pork that came with little slider buns and baked beans. The baked beans we very delicious with both a sweet and spicy kick. That was by far my favorite thing that i had.
Mantis Shrimp
I have actually never even seen a mantis shrimp before and there it was in front me of me while I was at a friend’s house. The mantis shrimp is quite large, long and strange. These creatures are boiled whole and eaten out of the shell. I really liked the taste and texture of this shrimp. It was sweet and more tender than a lobster. It is a real delicacy to me and I would like to buy this shrimp and cook it myself.
I would like to try this creature with garlic sauce. I would even put it in a paella.
Coco Reef Dinner
Coconut Bay, Bon Accord Village, Trinidad & Tobago Phone: www.cocoreef.com
I am not a wine person, but my friend and i decided to order wine at dinner. It was Trapiche Wine Moscato, i like it very much. Because it was sweet wine and not dry one, i enjoyed drinking a few glasses . I might be wrong but I believe that it has medium body. It’s aromas was like herbs and a fruity smelt, it was smooth on the palate.
Sunday School Event Tobago
Sunday School is a weekly outdoor party in Buccoo Tobago the event is to attraction for tourists. it’s en-tales the playing of the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago which is the steel pan. It l start from 6:00 p.m. to 12 midnight. Also has an after party which the locals continue to party from 12 midnight until 4:00 a.m. it’s was my first time going to event and it was great experience.
The local street vendors prepared meals, the is great. I don’t find that the meals are expensive, however tourists pays more for their food. I payed $60 for Vegetable rice, Coleslaw, Lentil peas, Pakcoy , Potato salad, Macaroni pie and Cavali fish grilled with BBQ sauce. I was given sample taste upon placing my order and find that the fish was tough because he over cooked it and maybe because it was left out on the grilled. I’ve never eaten Cavali fish before time, when i got it i was not over cooked soft, it was well seasoned, it just melt away in your month, it was silky smooth to go down and it tasted great.

Mast Brothers
Mast Brothers chocolate factory is located at 111 N 3rd St, Brooklyn, NY 11211. It was found in 2007 by Micheal and Rick Mast. The Mast Brothers is a New York Based establishment with two other locations in Los Angles and London. Their products are “chocolate bars, beverage,confections with an emphasis on clarity of favor.” They get their coco beans from Madagascar,Papua New Guinea, Dominican Republic and Venezuela. The coco beans is roasted differently from each of the located produce from , which they roast about to 2 bags a day. Chocolate is made from the coco beans and organic cane sugar. They offers 30 minutes tours everyday between hour 11 am to 5 pm. This where the they explain the chocolate making process.
I personally don’t like the sample of the chocolate tasted because it was bit too much with bitterness ,smell, and taste for me. The goat milk chocolate smelled was to fresh with from the animal itself. The olive chocolate was smooth in mouth but was also bitter.
The Blue Bottle Coffee
It is located at 160 Berry St, Brooklyn, NY 11249. It is a really fancy coffee shop that provides good coffee. I tried the New Orleans that is very flavorful. It had some sugar already in the brew and was very balanced. Its a cold drink. It is was very smooth in taste. I really like this coffee shop and if i stop by i would rather go here than starbucks.
Koliba restaurant the place to go by 31-11 23rd Av. Astoria, NY 11105
It looks to me as a very cozy restaurant from the outside. It serves Slovakian style of food. I would want to go try it myself and learn more about their culture. The prices are reasonable for a $30 for entree and a drink or little more. The golash that is a stew that has different types of meats sounds very good. The potato spaetzle with sheep cheese and bacon, bread dumplings with cream sauce is also good according to online reviews.
