Marmalade

Marmalade was the 2nd stop on our "No Reservations Needed" tour, mind you it was 3hrs after stop #1!! This place was more trendy, very upscale and highly recommended.. Located right in the heart of Old San Juan, Marmalade had our tastes buds salivating as soon as we opened the menu!! So many choices from start to finish.. And in true Greedy Gurlz fashion we ordered 4 dishes!!



Our 1st dish was the white bean soup with bacon, scallions, and black truffle oil.. This soup was so good!! It was creamy and full of flavor.. We pretty much licked the bowl clean!!



Our next tasty treat was the Paella Rolls.. Lil bites of Paella goodness topped with creme fresh, greens on top of a mango sauce..



After that we got the peaches wrapped with marscapone cheese and proscuitto.. What a great combination of flavors and textures,, all good!!



Our final moment of greediness came when we ordered dessert!! Wow!! Called Coffee & Donuts this delectable dessert was chocolate beignets filled with chocolate, rolled in nuts and sprinkled with powdered sugar on top of a raspberry sauce!! Ummm.. Then you dip it in the hot chocolate sauce topped with raspberry sauce and cream foam.. Umm umm umm!! This was perfect ending..

Can U Say Mofongo??

El Patio de Sam



I was once told, If you ever go to Puerto Rico, you must try Mofongo!! So on our 24 hr trip to Old San Juan, El Patio de Sam was the 1st stop on our " No Reservations Needed" trip! And boy was that the best stop on the trip.. We started off with the Mahi Mahi Ceviche with tomatoes, lettuce and tostones.. The fish was fresh, the tostones were crisp, each bite was tasty and had my mouth wanting more!! A nice light start to the main course..



Being the Greedy Girls we are, we were not stopping there!! Our next course, was of course the famous Mofongo Relleno (stuffed w/ chicken) w/ garlic sauce... OMG!! Words cannot explain how awesome this dish was.. Clearly the #1 choice on the menu, everyone in the resteraunt was ordering it!! The Mofongo's outer shell of the crispiest tostones mashed and seasoned to perfection had a texture that was pleasing to the mouth.. Along with the chicken breast that filled the Mofongo and the garlic sauce on top!! We could not stop eating this wonderful dish.. El Patio de Sam hands down has the best Mofongo!!
