JAMAICA: First meal at Chill Awhile in 14 months...

After settling in, walking the beach, and socializing (which I am told I TEND to do without any concept of time.), we decided to have dinner at "Chill Awhile".

Jerry Ann had the blackened Mahi Mahi with a pineapple chutney. Okay, she is
consistent in ordering great meals. Perhaps you have by now realized that I'm trying ever ones dishes and not just mine!

I ordered the steamed snapper in coconut sauce. Some people refer to it as a I ordered a snapper in a coconut sauce, often called a "rundown" sauce. While they are all rooted in the same basic core ingredients, there are some that stand out as my favorites over others.

This dish was actually on the menu as "shrimp rundown" however I asked for snapper instead, which for those of you who know me, it's no surprise to you that I may from time to time order something that's not EXACTLY on the menu. But hey..... Some of the greatest meals come from asking the chef to take some culinary, dare I say "artistic" license in preparing the meal.

Our first breakfast at Chill Awhile, after a restful night sleep, was at the edge of the sand overlooking the water. Jerry Ann opted for corn pourage, Gayle and I sharred the oatmeal and toast. Their oatmeal was great and had the flavor of nutmeg in it.
