~~ Sweetness Trip Report - Breezy Peazy

Good Day All: just checking in. SUPER breezy today. But sunny and beautiful.

Last night I was stirring a pot of Red Pea Soup and I heard a commotion outside and what did I behold but the pub crawl ONE LOVE bus full of fun folks having a grand time. I had to run down and meet everyone and make sure Kemar and Tash were “ready” for them. Sunset was a bit cloud covered but the view is breathtaking any time and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. I hope the LOVE bus makes another stop out next week.

Stuart the night chef here at Westender has created a new menu and I am slowly working my way thru it (lol). The items with (*) are the ones I have had and many I have had photos of in my posts. Highly recommend you come out and try the food and enjoy a sunset. I am such a foodie so it has been fun checking out each dish and all have been delicious and well presented. One day just needed a midafternoon snack so ordered the bruchetta….oh man….garlic butter toast with ripe ripe tomato and basil with EVOO and basalmic drizzle…..mmmmm. Today I had lunch which was the House Salad and the Jerk Quesadilla…..holy cow…..super delicious.

Lovely update Sweetness! Thanks

My pleasure Ms. Cali! :cool:

Yummy! We don't normally eat at place's that don't price in J dollars. But we just may make an exception this Feb. Who know's maybe for Valentine's.

Thanks for posting some pics. and menu choices with prices

Cheers

Oh yeah that flower at the top of the page the purple and white. Me sure I use to grow those called them a Moon flower.
Just wondering does the flower stink? Because mine did.

Hey Mary/Lance - I will check with the gardener. The only Moon flowers I have seen where I live are white and only bloom when its dark but these look exactly like them but different color and they were open before dark and on a bush not a vine......I am curious too so I will find out. The white ones I have smelled have a wonderful smell so I bet there are different varieties. Bless

Sweetness,

That Jerk chicken Quesadilla looks so delicious and it sounds amazing too.. mango barbeque sauce, sour cream and tropical fruit salsa?!..
I'm drooling here.

It was so great seeing you and PGW and Sprat waving at the webcast! you have a smile that is contagious and brightens the whole room!!:)

I'm so glad you're having a wonderful time in Negril!

The menu sounds FABULOUS!!....glad you're enjoying your stay!

food looks amazing .... how would compare the quality to Seastar and Ivans?

Thanks all....

Gerry - hard question....Ivan's is the best food I have had in Negril so far so class of its own although a splurge budget wise for me. Seastar I have only had the buffet but from the looks and feedback on the food it looks outstanding and big portions for good prices.

So this new creative menu and the chefs that work here at Westender are definately in this league. Canoe is another place that amazes me with their food and creative menu and presentation. I hear Pushcart is another place I should try...ate there when it was Pirate's Cave but not since....

Hope to meet you Gerry!!!

Also, did you get a chance to stop by Banton's? I think he is the last little store before Westender ... Great guy, good vibes in that place. It's next door to a church and a couple doors down from the great Chris n Francine from Seastar Inn .....

Food looks really good. Nice alternative to rice and peas. :o
