Lunch With The Boys at Sea Food Cove

 Friday, October 1, 2021

An impromptu lunch today. 3 of us at the Sea Food Cove restaurant. Not too crowded today but a lot of traffic driving over.

Started out with the usual Sweet Sour soup which today had a bit of a bite too it.

Then onto our selections.  Kung Pao Shrimp. Good dish, tender shrimp,  a few hot red chiles, scallions and boiled peanuts.

 Beef Chow Fun . Henrys dish that he says he won't cook at home. Explained that the oil in the wok has to be  super hot and and he doesn't like doing that on his wok. Too dangerous.

Thai Style Beef with Green Beans.  Not only did this dish look good but tasted good also. Green beans were a vibrant color up against the darkness of the beef.

Dessert was a Tapioca with Green Beans and Seaweed. Had a good, interesting flavor to it. Served luke warm and liquidy.

3 of us today so 3 wines on the table.  I brought a 2005 Stolpman,  LaCroce. A blend of syrah and sangiovese. For 16 years old this was a great wine. Looked and tasted like it could go several more years. Big body, dark fruits, soft palate, lush.

2018 Loveblock, Pinot Noit from Central Ortago, New Zealand. A light, bright wine. Was 41 on list of Top 1100 Wines this year.

NV Domaine Allimantlaugner, Cremant D'Alsace Brut. Nice and refreshing on a hot day and also went very well with the Kumg Pao Shrimp.
