Homemade Coconut and Sorrel Ice -cream

I  was  a  bit  amaze how the coconut flavor in  the  didn’t over power the sorrel flavor in  the  ice  cream. Another thing  that  surprised me was color from  the  sorrel  didn’t  have  an  effect  on the  product, it  was  white  in  color, so I  believe  the  use  green  sorrel to  make  the  ice  cream.  I  wasn’t  sure  how  the it would  of  the  taste, combining  the  two  flavors. It  was  actually  good, you  taste  both  flavors  in  the  ice  cream.

Peanut butter pie

The Peanut  butter pie is  a desert  from Maple’s Smokehouse, its really good. The pie is little  too sweet, texture is smooth and silk and crust  which  I  believe what Graham  complements  texture  of  the  pie. I  really  enjoyed  it  and  even  brought  one  to  go  with  after  having  it at  the  place. It had  some  whipped cream on top  with  chocolate  drizzle on  it , which kind of even out  the  sweetness of  pie.

Herring Cream Sauce

I’ve  had Smoked Herring before but  I have  never  had  it  in  any  type  of  sauce  before. Upon trying  the  herring  in  the  sauce I  didn’t  know  what  to  expect trying  it  this  way, it’s was not  to bad at  all. It had  a combination of  both  sweet and sour taste on the  palette  could  of  been  because  of  the  onions that  was  in  the  sauce. It  also  left  tart taste  in your  mouth  after  consuming. I didn’t  not  like  it  because  of  the  sour  taste, I had  to  drink  water  and  eat  something  to  get  taste  out  my  mouth. It’s  not  something  I’ll try again, I will  continue  to  eat  my  herring  smoked.

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.

Shake Shack

Shake Shack is located Southeast corner of Madison Square Park near Madison Ave. and E.23rd St. By viewing as a outsider since i have never eaten anything from restaurant it looks like  their lines does be very long especially around lunch hour. I’ve heard  about the restaurant before but  unfortunately  i never tried  the  food. I would also like to see  what’s the hype  about , when  people  talk about  Shake  Shack. I’ll definitely try it soon.
