February 28th 2016: Meals in Chinatown, Dorchester and Medfield

We started out today with our first meal in the Chinatown area of Boston at Hot Eastern, a nice looking restaurant that is located in the basement level.
We got a glass of Soy Milk,

the Beef Mala Bang,
the Lamb Skewer
and the Chinese Crepe.
Excellent stuff, especially the glass noodles, the soup for which wasn't too spicy and was actually peanut flavored. The crepe was something we have never tried before either, the crispy wonton skin inside making it really delicious. A pretty good meal to say the least.

Our next meal was in the Dorchester area of town at an African restaurant, Restaurant Laura, which is actually pretty nice inside, and today they had a buffet spread and a live jazz band to boot.
Unfortnately, the food itself was nothing special.


Next, we headed into Hull to do a little bit of sightseeing on this nice day in winter.
Hull Yacht Club
Memorial Middle School
Sunset Bay Marina
Fire Department
Nantasket Beach
St. Mary of the Assumption
We were a little apprehensive about going onto Spinnaker Island, as it apparently is a private place and we were technically trespassing.
Luckily, we left just fine, Done with sightseeing for the day, we headed into Medfield for dinner at Rock and Roll Ribs Joint, a small bar restaurant serving BBQ in town.
We got the BBQ Sundae (piece of homemade corn bread covered in baked beans, topped with pulled pork, cole slaw and covered with candied pecans),

the St. Louis Ribs (dry rubbed and smoked for hours. Served with cole slaw and BBQ baked beans)
and the Burnt Ends Sandwich (the tip of the beef brisket which was smoked for over 12 hours, cut it into bite size pieces and then slow roasted in homemade BBQ sauce for an additional 3 hours.  Served on a soft roll with  fries).
The only good thing was the burnt end, which were tender and delicious in the BBQ sauce. The rest were absolutely tasteless, and the BBQ sauce provided did not do much to make it better.

Definitely not coming back again.
