Got carried away again .. no photos but for dessert .
Some dim sum , wanton noodles .. piece the resistance - Peking duck ( only half ) .
Refreshingly chilled mango purée with fresh mango and pomelo
Dinner was similar to lunch sans the wanton noodles and also sweet & sour garoupa , long beans with tofu bits and peanut soup .
Fruits : papaya, pear and pineapple . This follows the “ p “ theme from tea with a pear tart .
Earlier in the morning , mushroom Lyoner sandwich with iced latte , mid morning - banana chocolate smoothie which morphed into banana mocha smoothie , .. lunch - chrysanthemum tea and lots of iced water ( including Acqua Panna ) throughout the day

Dinner last night at the Sainte George restaurant. Lovely place with very good service but not too impressed with the food. Mrs BV didn’t want much so had a side salad. I ordered a $19 burger that was served with every trendy cliche available in the kitchen: brioche bun, garlic aioli, chimichurri, micro greens, pickled red onion, etc. Ordered medium, received well done. The wine was nice although I couldn’t tell you what it was.
St Augustine has loads of wine bars. We started out in one across the street from the restaurant, Bin 39. Pleasant spot. Again, I couldn’t tell you what we had but it was delicious.
Todays plan is to choose a casual place on the beach for seafood.

$19 is pretty standard in my area. Except I get my cow medium rare. Only my child gets it… sigh. Medium.

Last night, dinner at Gaijin with another couple. It's a Paul Virant restaurant (for those who've heard of him) specializing in okonomiyaki.
Started out with pickled vegetables, short ribs, and bok choy. Each couple the split a pancake. We had Osaka style octopus with an egg on top. The other one was some kind of gluten free version, not sure what was in it. Mochi donuts for dessert. Lots of Suntory whiskey.
Totally my kind of food, I loved it. My wife liked the pancake and short rib, but nothing else. We'll probably choose Momotaro's basement yakitori bar over Gaijin, but it was still fun.

Probably my all time favorite dish. I suppose, if I had to make one of those last meal requests, it would be Peking duck. Admittedly, I prefer the bun over the tortilla crepe thing.

Blackened triggerfish sandwich - Beachcombers - St Augustine Beach. Came with condiment size cole slaw. Also too much Mondavi Cabernet. Fun just to hang out at the beach.
I am fine with a hamburger well done. It just wasn’t what I ordered.

Prepared properly, (and yours looks to be expertly prepared), they are delicious.

Mmmmmm. Triggers used to be relatively rare in the waters up here. They were a fish caught as by catch, when targeting something else. Over the past 2 years, we have had an influx of them, thanks to warmer waters. (Thanks global warming). In fact, I know Captains that now target them.
