Day 4- May 25
We went back to MK this day and had a very relaxing morning. Around 12:00 we headed out to hop over to EP again. Our first stop of the day was again an unusually quiet Rose and Crown Pub. If you guessed we ordered the same beers as the previous two times you are correct.
In case you forget what they look like
Our first booth of the day was Northern Bloom.
Seared Scallops with French Green Beans, Butter Potatoes, Brown Butter Vinaigrette and Apple-wood Smoked Bacon. This was really good. The scallops were cooked perfectly. The potatoes tasted better than they looked too.
Next was The Citrus Blossom again. We ordered another lobster tail and the tuna. This lobster tail had significantly more sauce on it than the one from the other day. Both were delicious!
Lobster Tail with Meyer Lemon Emulsion and Grilled Lemon. Tuna Tataki with Spicy Yuzu Glaze, Mango, Avocado and Pappadam Crisp.
Next stop was Refreshment Port. DS went ahead and ordered the Coffee-rubbed Pork Poutine with Barbecue Demi-Glace, Fire-roasted Corn Relish and Cheese Curds. He was in line for a while and it also took a while for him to get the order. But I would say it was worth the wait! This was so good and huge!
We next stopped at La Isla Fresca. We got the Sugar Cane Shrimp Skewer with Steamed Rice and Coconut-Lime Sauce which was very good. We also got the Tropical Freeze with Cruzan Mango Rum.
Trowel & Trellis Hosted by IMPOSSIBLE™ Foods was next. I have this weird obsession with street corn. When I see it on a menu I always want to get it but never do. DH made sure I got it this time. While it was good having corn stuck in your teeth all day is just not worth it.
Grilled Street Corn on the Cob with Savory Garlic Spread
Our last booth of the day was Jardin de Fiestas.
Beef Torta: Braised Beef served on a Crispy Sourdough Roll with Queso Oaxaca, Avocado, Pickled Onions and Jalapeños in a Spicy Habanero Sauce and Damiana Flower Margarita: Damiana Flower Liqueur, Blanco Tequila, Agave Nectar and Citrus Juices served on the rocks with a Black Ant Salt Rim.
The torta was awesome but super messy. The cup had sauce on the bottom so when picking it up the sauce got everywhere. But still, the flavors were delicious. We were not fans of the margarita. Not really sure what it was but it just wasn't a good one. It may have been too sweet.
Up next, we decide to get out of the heat for a while. Where's better than the tequila bar!
