After touring the fort, and having some fun with a certain warning sign, it was time for us to toodle into Port Royal for a well-deserved lunch. After determining that the Pirate Pub was really just an ice scream stop with a beer cooler, we meandered through the dusty and deserted street(s) of Port Royal. Which was fine. The old architecture, lack of modernization and generally sleepy small town feel was causing massive good vibrations! And....we simply stumbled into Gloria's Restaurant. It started with spying a very cold fridge loaded with RS and wound up with us being ushered upstairs to the main dining area. Fans helped the oppressive heat and a virtual 360 degree view of Port Royal tempted our eyes. At first glance, the menu seemed a bit expensive....but we realized our options were quite limited. Once the food arrived, we sang a different song!
I have never seen such HUGE portions of food for 1000J. Never. Lisa had the fish. I can't remember if it was steamfish or fryfish....I think fryfish....TWO whole silver snappers.
And then...there was that slice of sweet green pepper on my plate of curry shrimp. I know....I know.....but still....I ate it.....and as it passed my palate....I realized my folly. FOOOOOOK MOI!!!! SCOTCH BONNET FROM HELL!!!!!
Thank goodness I had ordered festival as a side. Between a few ice cold RS and two festival sticks...I survived...barely...
To give you an idea how huge the portions were.....I consumed TWENTY of the curry shrimp on my plate.....there were TWENTY left!!!!
