Word to the ambiance and that corn muffin, with the coconut, pineapple and ginger sauce that you can only get one of that you hope your friend doesn’t like so you can have two…it was definitely delicious. It had been some time since I had went to Mobay. This time I brought two of my pals with me after working a few shows at Fashion Week. As we got off the train I kept thinking, should we go to Dinosaur BBQ, but I kept saying, all I want is the macaroni and cheese, besides I really had a taste for Mobay’s Rum Punch.
So we were finally seated and looking at the menu brought memories back of me having their Caribbean Long Island and my friend not knowing why I got extremely goofy! But I knew what I was in for…the corn muffin of all CORN MUFFINS. The sweet taste of the corn meal topped with the ultimate topping of a ginger taste and pineapple zest with coconut it really is the definition of Mouth Adventure. After enjoying that snack it was time for my main course. Barbecue and rice! Mind you make sure you top your rice and peas with gravy, preferably ox tail gravy it has just the right thickness. Dinner was great and the Rum Punch really did have me flying high afterwards and Freeky was there too. I danced in the street:)
