Street Food & Lunch

I'm a foodie so it should come as no surprise that I try lots of food stuffs that I see other people trying. Today was no exception.
This was the coconut guy by our hotel. First you drink the coconut water, then you hand the coconut back and he hacks it in half with a machete and scoops out the fresh squidgy coconut meat for you.


We liked it so much we got some coconut water for later. It comes in little baggies almost impossible to get out.

We turned around and followed the lady with the beautiful dress... ahem... and she was stopping to get some shave ice. How lovely!

I had a tamarind shave ice and Chris had a coca shave ice. Delish.

We decided we'd try Getsemini for lunch, and when we smelled and then spied what was on offer at this restaurant we dove in with gusto.

That is a kilo of langostinos drenched in butter and garlic after we'd had our way with them. Oh, and some shrimp rice, coconut rice, fried plantain and salad to round things out.
