For lunch today, I decided to check out
NOLA Cajun Kitchen, a new Cajun/Creole place in West Boylston. Kind of a hole in the wall place with few seats.
Pretty popular place though.
For food, I got the Crawfish Etoufee (crawfish tails simmered in a rich and flavorful dark roux, served over a bed of rice) and Gator Bites (tender pieces of fried alligator served with Cajun Mustard),
both of which were very flavorful and fresh, the stew being full of crawfish.
Because the food was so good, I had to bring my other half there for dinner as well, this time getting the NOLA Gumbo (The cajun tinity of onions, bell peppers and celery in a roux based soup cooked with shrimp, chicken, sausage and okra, topped with a spoon of rice),
the Live Clams Seafood Boil (tossed in NOLA secret sauce, comes with corn and potato),
and the Cajun Wings (lightly dusted, fried and tossed in pepper and Cajun Seasoning).
The seafood and sauces were simply excellent, while the wings were another type of perfection, crispy yet moist, without need for much flour.
Amazing for a hole in the wall place.
Next, we headed across the road to
Gerardo's Italian Bakery, the original location which I have not been to
for a long time now.
This time, we got the Lemon Mascarpone Cake
and the Tiramisu.
Delicious as always from this place. Glad we decided to try the same restaurant twice on the same day.
