Lunch w/ Friends
I was completely taken aback after walking into Kith/Kin ( meaning friends and family) and being acquainted with a hotel/ restaurant mash-up. The child in me didn’t know which area to explore first. After being greeted by the host, I decided that the adventure could wait until after our meal. The walk to our table was definitely a long one, mainly because after peering at the dishes dawning the tables of other guests, I worked up quite an appetite which made the excitement of whats to come a bit stronger. I couldn’t figure out what I was more excited about, the modernly voguish space or the aroma of the Afro-Caribbean cuisine.
Once seated I thought that i’d indulge in a glass of Rose’, I was more than pleased with the overall taste of this particular glass. Light yet sweet and aromatic, not as dry as others I’ve tried in the past.
For starters I tried the Lobster and Crab slider which turned out to be the perfect choice. Succulent yet distinctive crab and lobster team up with spicy mayo and lettuce to create one of the best sliders that has ever had the pleasure of gracing my palette. I’m pretty sure that the bun used for the sliders and the coco bread are from the same family, both buttery and sweet!
I can’t even come up with a proper description for the Mom Dukes Shrimp! Let me ask you, Have you ever had a dish so pleasing that it made you want to bow upon the person responsible for making it? Like, If nature had a taste this would be it, to truly treasure this moment I closed my eyes between each chew and for a brief moment I forgot where I was, I swore I could hear birds chirping as the warm summer breeze brushed against my skin. Truly an experience, which is how Kith/Kin secured their spot on our list of culinary orgasms.
