China Palace Coxen Hole

 We finally got a vehicle!!!  So we ran some errands, went to the bank - that will be a story for another day, got a "mail box" and then found a place for lunch.  I know it's silly of me, but I saw the sign for the China Palace and wanted to try it.  It's on the second floor of a commercial plaza.  They have checkered table clothes on the table.  We saw a family next to us order a couple of plates and they were huge so we decided to split ONE plate and we had leftovers. lol  

We ordered the sweet and sour chicken and 2 colas.  The plate of sweet and sour was huge, filled with chicken, carrots, pineapple chunks (so sweet!), green peppers and onions.  Then we had a small plate of white rice with it.  Of course I forgot to take a picture of it before we dug in, so look at the picture and then double the food on top.  It was $10 for the dish and extra or the drinks, which came in GLASS bottles.  I really feel like I've gone back in time on this island.

Lawson Rock Deli and Market - Sandy Bay

Image
 Sandy Bay takes up a lot of area on the west side of the island.  Part of that includes the exclusive subdivision of Lawson Rock.  They have a condo building with a deli/market inside.  We've driven past hundreds of times and finally decided to check it out.  It's a cute little deli that serves breakfast and lunch.  They also sell meats and cheeses like an old fashioned deli, plus gifts! We ordered the lunch specials.  One Lasagna plate with salad and the other was their chicken & rice dish that was served with a side of coleslaw (odd combination).  Both were delicious!  The lasagna was $10 and the chicken/rice was $7.20.   We'll be back!

Eldon's Grocery Store

 Having just moved into the condo and there is not a single piece of food in the condo we definitely needed to go to the grocery store.  According to what I've read there are two Eldon Grocery stores and another grocery store on the island.  Thankfully one of the Eldon's is only 2 blocks from our condo.  We walked there and took a taxi back with all our food.   We spent a total of $175.  The prices aren't too bad if you stick to their generic brands.  The most expensive thing we bought was a 12 pack of Diet Coke for a little over $6.  Included in the $175 was milk, cheese, bacon, sausages, bagels, cream cheese, flour, sugar, brown sugar, salt and pepper, ketchup, mustard, bbq sauce, snacks, some chips, bread, peanutbutter, jam, and a few other things.  It's interesting and I should have taken some pictures - but their flour and sugars come in clear bags.  The bread is square! I also bought a 1 liter of Coca Cola in a glass bottle fo...

Roberto's Burritos in West End

Image
 We've driven past this cute little building several times, but finally made  a point to stop in and check it out.  The building used to be a Meat market but now they serve tacos and burritos.  I had heard that they had large portions, so we split something, decided to order the biggest burrito on the menu. lol  It's the Carnita,( $12)  it had steak, chicken, rice and beans and a few other ingredients.  We also ordered a side of chips and salsa ($2).  The brought out the chips and salsa first.  The salsa was great, just a little spicy, but not enough that I couldn't eat it (I'm a wimp with spicy foods. )  Then before we had made a dent in the chips, here come our burrito.  I took pictures of both, but had to add my Pepsi in for a size reference.  The burrito was huge, bigger than my forearm.  Glad we split it.  Everything was delicious, but next time I might just stop in for their dessert.  It's chips with sugar ...
