This is What a Lobster Roll Should Be!

I had a pretty epic meal today in Boston... Check this baby out! 

How beautiful is this? This is how every lobster roll should be! It should be so massive that you can't even see the bread! Yes! 

 Belle Isle Seafood was a tad pricey. They don't cook any of your food until you order it, so the wait can be around 30+ minutes. 

 We got little lobster buzzers as we waited. 

 Here's the view of our meals. 

 The crab cakes were very delicious. This was a small side order. 

The fried scallops were good, but nothing to rave about. 

But let's not forget that the day was about this baby right here. I'm drooling right now just thinking about it!

I'm on a Sea Food Diet

Back in Boston again. Sea food diet and the see food diet are the only diets I believe in. We're on a 2 week vacation with my mom to visit my nephew & celebrate my mom's birthday. We decided to go to Island Creek Oyster Bar!

See how ladylike I am? Did you want some?

 The wall was made of oyster shells

 Different angles 

 

Their menus were cute, but can you believe valet parking was $16? Gosh... I swear Southern California is just the best. East Coast prices are absurd. 

 We started with the bread that came with the cayenne honey butter. 

 Fried oyster slider 

 Raw oysters 

 Crab cake 

 This was freaking weird & amazing at the same time. Honey butter glazed biscuit! The biscuit was warm and buttery, but the sweetness confused my taste buds. It took me a few bites before I decided that I really liked this! A+++!

 The star of the night was this lobster roe pasta. The pasta was made from lobster roe. Delish! 

 One of the other stars of the night was the lobster roll. Of course there's a bunch of different lobster rolls in Boston. There's cheap ones & expensive ones everywhere. This was so good! 

Everything we ordered was delish that night with the exception of the seafood casserole. This was just not anything that blew my mind. I wish we had ordered something else instead of this.

Boston Part 2

Time for my food court food! So what did I order? There were so many choices!

 Baked clam! This was absolutely delicious. 

 And of course, I had to get another lobster roll. It didn't taste as good as the one from Part 1, but it wasn't bad!

 I was just about to finish ordering and paying when I looked up on the sign and saw passionfruit. Ugh! Why? Kryptonite may be Superman's weakness, but Passionfruit is mine. When I see passionfruit anything, I have to have it. It wasn't amazing ice tea, but I still ordered it. Nothing can compare to the fresh passionfruit juice I had in Vietnam. 

And of course I finished off my day with clam chowder and more baked clam. The food court meal was forgettable. Nothing was THAT delicious that blew my mind, but a girl has to eat. 

Happy Eatings!

Boston Part 1

I am very behind on posting. I was in Boston, MA for 3 weeks to visit my newborn nephew. =) The trip was more of a nanny trip and less of a food trip, but I did get a chance to have a few tasty meals (just a few, though). I'm starting to realize that my sister's taste buds and mine are quite different. I think I've been spoiled by Los Angeles. The East Coast has clearly not been good to her stomach. 

 She insisted that I try Grassfed. She said that they have delicious milkshakes and burgers.  The menu had adult milkshakes at $12 a pop, which got me very excited. It sounded like my kind of place. . Unfortunately, I couldn't justify $12 a shake so I just got chocolate kiddy shake. I was not impressed. If you're in LA, Father's Office is still my Number One. 

 The eggplant panini was okay. It didn't blow me away. 

 Then finally came the "amazing" burger my sister had recommended. Not only was it super expensive, it was also very salty. Fail. 

 We also ordered pizza while in Boston. 

 It wasn't anything amazing to rave about. Sad face. 

 We did get a chance to go to Legal Sea Food, which is a chain restaurant. I got my favorite Lobster Bisque soup. Yum... If you love lobster and you love butter, this is the soup for you!

 Clam Chowder is another must. 

 And of course, my lobster roll! I love lobster rolls. It's basically lobster and mayo in a sub sandwich. This came out to be under $20. Expensive for just a sandwich, but everything is more expensive on the East Coast. 

And last but not least, the delicious lobster mac and cheese was absolutely mouthwatering as you might imagine. 

Stay tuned for Part 2!

Happy Eatings!
