Chinese Food in Grenada

As mentioned in our last blog we went out for Chinese food on Friday evening. The evening was organized by Peter on Joule. We went with the usual group plus Roy and Michelle from Bonanza(CDN). That made 12 for supper. We all headed over to the Carenage, the part of the harbour closest to St. Georges proper, in our dinghies. The restaurant is called Flag Restaurant. It was opened before and then closed when the owners went back to China. Now their children have returned and reopened the restaurant.

We were seated at a round table for 12 which had a large (about 5' across) glass lazy susan in the middle. Each couple ordered one dish and then we shared. The lazy susan made it easy to move the dishes around the table.

The dishes were delicious. I found some of them very spicy especially when I bit into one of the dried peppers in one of the dishes. None of the dishes would show up on the typical Canadian/Chinese menu.

Duck Soup with Gingo

Volcano Chicken

Shredded Pork with Mushrooms that grow on the tea tree

Some of the other dishes were a Schezuan Pork, Dried Ginger Beef, Beef Soup, and Shredded Potatoes that were crisply fried.

Waiter, Hostess and Cook

The evening ended with a birthday cake for Sue on Strider. It is her birthday on Sunday. The cake was banana and then we all got icecream. Sue also received a special dish of icecream and a sandalwood fan.

We dinghied back to the boat, mouths on fire while the outside was cool because it was raining. It was a good night with lots of fun and laughter.
