Tonight's dinner was at
10 Rocks Tapas Bar, a small bar restaurant with a modern feel in Pawtucket RI.
Once again, cute teapots for water.
Service was a little lacking today, made worse by us being hungry. We got the Pastel de Cabo Verde (Crisp and golden pastels served with stuffing: Tuna with fresh green peppers, served with specialty house sauces),
the Pastel de Bacalhau/Cod Cakes (Traditional Portuguese cod cakes served with a side of housemade Sriracha aioli),
the Camarao de Alho (Shrimp sauteed with olive oil, garlic, white wine, and a touch of chili flakes),
the Arroz de Kocu/Coconut Rice (Fried rice sauteed in garlic, roasted coconuts and fresh coconut milk)
and the Maria Helena Batatas Bravas (Seasoned potatoes and chorizo sauteed with olive oil, garlic and shallots, topped with a fried egg and a chef Creole sauce).
The croquettes were both surprisingly good, especially the cod with potato filling. The sauce for the shrimp was delicious, although the coconut rice was probably not worth ordering, but still good. The chorizo had a hollandaise like sauce, which made eating the potatoes a pleasure.
For dessert, we got the Mango Mousse Cake (A light, creamy mango mousse topped with fresh raspberries and roasted coconut flakes).
Well presented, and tastes just like mango pudding.
Overall, a surprisingly good meal. With that, we decided to call an end to our exploration of Rhode Island restaurants for the time being.
