Hi!!
I have another fun event to share with you guys! Last Thursday, In conjunction with
Boston Food Bloggers, I was welcomed to Tiki Week at
Local 149, a restaurant and bar in South Boston, to come in and try their Polynesian inspired appetizers and Tiki drinks. I grabbed my friend Alex, and we headed over to try it out.
I was blown away by how good the food and drinks were.
This drink was called the Rannygazoo. It was made with R St Barth Rhum, Lime, Pistachio orgeat, and housemade Ginger beer. I loved it! I'm all about anything with ginger beer. It was unlike any drink I've ever tried. I hope to see it offered at more places because I really liked it. Alex ordered the Jeweled Turtle which had R St Barth Rhum, Applejack, Blueberry and Lemon. It was kinda watery, so she ordered a Rannygazoo for her next drink.
Since it was Tiki week at the restaurant, they had a special menu. The menu had a special for 3 appetizers for $35. Pretty good deal considering the portions were good sized and the food was amazing.
First up:
Spicy Lemon and Agave Spare Ribs
Next:
Mahi mahi Fish Sandwich
Complete with fried plantains, hibiscus flower, and mini drink umbrella. How fun.
and finally, saving the best for last:
Polynesian-style Braised Beef short ribs
I didn't get a very good picture, but these were ridiculously good. So tender!
For dessert we shared a s'mores pie on the recommendation of the waitress. This was unreal.
soo soo so good. If you ever go to Local 149 I highly recommend this dessert.
To finish the meal, Alex ordered us two banana infused shots of rum! I think she was really enjoying her first food blogging event.
Thanks, Local 149! I will definitely be back!
Have you ever had Polynesian inspired food?
