Tropical Island

Good Evening my fellow food connoisseurs. Last weekend I went on a mini holiday to a near-by tropical island. I had quite an enjoyable time. I stuffed myself with food, played giant chess, saved baby turtles and swam with sea turtles. To celebrate (and I don't know why Chemo Boy was celebrating my holiday, but when there's a theme idea we run with it) we made some delicious food before I left.

These are some snaps from my holiday.

The Menu

Main

Tropical Skewers with Watermelon and Feta Salad

Chef's Rating: 8 out of 10 Tropical Fruits

I really enjoy the watermelon feta, salt and pepper combo. I just find it so interesting. I've heard you're supposed to add salt to fruit to make it taste even sweater. I've been meaning to give this more of a go and this salad is the closest I've gotten. 

The Skewers were lovely and fresh with all raw ingredients....except for the garlic prawns, they were definitely cooked.

Dessert

Chocolate, Banana and Some Kind of Custard Crepes

I'm not sure what you would call the filling, but it involved eggs, flour and condensed milk.. mmmm condensed milk.

Chef's Rating: 9 out of 10 China Towns (there's always a crepe store in china town)

These were so awesome. I was genuinely impressed with ourselves. The custard was smooth, the chocolate sauce wasn't burnt and the crepes looked like crepes.

Drink

Pina Coladas

Chef's Rating: 7 out of 10 Coconuts

To be honest, I can't even remember what these tasted like it was so long ago. Maybe that's not a good sign. But Pina Colada is a Pina Colada really. If you like em then you like em; if you don't, you don't.

That's it ladies and gents. That's all there is. There isn't any more.
