The Movie Place at Excel Plaza

Movie Theater in Grenada?  Absolutely!!!  The Movie Palace contains all the elements of your usual American theater, minus the Costco sized screen, surround sound, and overpriced tickets.  In the structure you will find two show rooms that each contain around 100+ seats, a little play area for little kids, and a little food section where you can buy candies, popcorn, and hot dogs.  The rooms are air conditioned so you can watch your movie in comfort.

I went with my great partners in crime, Angela and Grace (also significant others) to see a movie called "Jack and Jill," and we had a blast.  We bought snacks and had the whole theater to ourselves and after the movie, we went crazy with picture taking (as we do everywhere we go).  

Even if I could easily obtain up-to-date movies (by using special sources wink wink) at home, I still went out to the Movie Palace relive the movie going experience I grew to love.  The theater was cute and comfy for and not for one second did I miss American theaters at all.  Call it a good old fashion experience.  I will definitely come back again to the Movie Palace.

There's the usual ketchup, mustard, and relish for the hot dogs and the popcorn had a good flavor and crunch (Even if we were the only ones there. I thought it would turn out stale but I was wrong).

Thanksgiving Cravings- A "stuffing" Kind Of Sandwich

Today, I thawed out a portion of candied yams I made a couple of weeks ago and every single time that I have them, I get into the Thanksgiving mode.  Yes, this is classical conditioning at its best (once you bite into anything "Thanksgiving," you'll get into Thanksgiving mode and crave everything Thanksgiving hahaha).  So naturally, I scavenged my refrigerator in hopes to magically find the missing parts to my Thanksgiving feast puzzle.  

I normally make cranberry sausage stuffing on Thanksgiving and fortunately I had everything I needed except stale bread (I only had fresh) and time.  I decided to make a stuffing tasting dish in the shape of a sandwich.  I ended up with a great tasting sandwich that satiated my Thanksgiving food cravings in less than 20min.

Candied Yams, A stuffing kind of sandwich, and pumpkin soup.  Thanksgiving has been served.

Servings 2; Time 15-20min

Ingredients:

2 fresh baguettes (IGA deli section)

2 tbsp unsalted butter

garlic powder

cheddar cheese to top

2'' log breakfast sausage (IGA)

1 small onion thinly sliced

1/2 small fuji apple thinly sliced

handful dried cranberries (foodfair)

big dash cajun seasoning

dash black pepper

lettuce

1 large ripe tomato

Directions

1. melt butter in a non stick pan over medium high heat

2. as soon as butter melts, saturate baguettes as evenly as possible

3.  once saturated, take bread out of pan, sprinkle garlic powder and shred cheese on top of each

4.  place bread face down one at a time, pushing tops down in a circular motion so cheese cooks away from pan bottom.  occasionally press top down in a circular motion until cheese has toasted a bit.  place to side when cooked

5.  break sausage into small chunks and brown.  If you want, you can remove excess fat, but leave enough to cook onion.  add onion and cook until translucent.  add apples. cranberries,, cajun seasoning, and black pepper and cook until apples are tender.

6.  place sausage mixture on garlic bread and add lettuce and tomato

What you will find here:

• A picturesque beach lined with white sand and palm trees.  There was a subtle breeze the time that I went and had I had a hammock or beach towel, I would've fallen asleep within no time.  
• Snorkeling approved water.
• La Sagesse  Bar and Restaurant- Local type food.  They have a good selection of fish, though I ordered a veggie burger the time that I went.  It was interesting to taste, not your usual American veggie burger.  Their beet salad had an interesting dressing that was delicious.
• An Inn with rooms 30 ft. away from the beach.
• Nice quiet trails nearby to venture out in.
• A visitor centre where you can request tour pamphlets and information about other attractions.

*Tips: Don't forget to bring a change of clothing, flip flops, sunglasses, sunscreen, a plastic bag for wet clothes (if you decide to snorkel and get wet), money for food (or pack a lunch), and of course, a camera.

-MENU (prices and descriptions)

I had the pleasure of celebrating my friend , Grace's, B-day at this restaurant and boy did we have a celebration.

*Service-  

Had it not been for good company and heavenly butter accompanied by herb rolls, I would've noticed that service was slow (from an American point of view- slow.  From a Grenadian point of view- fast. hahaha).  Considering the fact that there were a decent amount of people to be tended to and also, the fact that everything is cooked fresh, I'd say that the wait wasn't bad at all.  The group was welcomed with smiles and the waiter was nice and took more than just one group picture of us without being told to do so.  Brownie points for him.

*Food-  

You can order on your own or go with the set menu (3 course, 130EC/person).

• Duck- My favorite. Simple yet delicious.  It was so tender and flavourful unlike anything else I've ever tasted.  I'm not one hundred percent sure, but from what I can tell, the sauce it was cooked in was a balsamic type vinegar reduction.  It was smoky and had a hint of sweetness to it.  This  dish won my heart and I would highly suggest it. 
• Eggplant Parmesan (vegetarian)- nothing special about this dish and I wouldn't suggest getting it.  It was a little on the bland side and I can tell the eggplant was boiled instead of fried in oil (less flavorful).
• Scallops-  Just because they're so rare to find on the island, I say yes, I suggest getting them.  What was special about the scallops was not what they were seasoned in but more how they were cooked.  Tender and juicy, these scallops were definitely a treat.
• Shrimp- Your usual grilled Cajun type seasoned shrimp. It was a little on the salty side and I wouldn't get this dish again.
• Fish of the day- baked- Let's just say that I would have rather used the money to buy my own fish to marinade. The fish was good but a little on the naked side.  It wasn't dressed in anything special.   Fried-  mmmMMmm.  Then again, how can you mess up battered fried fish?
• Tiramisu- I'm not even a coffee fan and I loved it.  Big portion and not too sweet. It had a nice coffee flavor and it was cute.  For presentation, they dusted the top off with cocoa power. 
• Guava Cheesecake-  I loved it and it was a big slice too! The guava flavor is more prominent in the topping more than it is in the actual cheesecake slice.
• Citrus Meringue- MMmmmmMm.  They made their meringue crunchy in texture.  It paired well with their passion fruit slurry and whipped cream.  the citrus part shines out throughout the dessert.  It can be a little sweet for those without a sweet tooth. 
• Tuna tartare-  I didn't like the flavor and texture.  I've been spoiled in San Francisco with fresh delicious raw tuna, and this was no where near as good.  
• Dinner Rolls and Butter- MMMMmmmmMMmmmm.  I dream about the butter until this day.  It's so creamy and delicious.
• Crab Rangoons-  How can you go wrong with crab?  They were served with a delightful cilantro duck sauce (though the duck wasn't obvious).  For 35EC, you make them at home and get 45 Crab Rangoons instead of 4 hahah.  Need a recipe? Click here for my recipe.

*Ambiance- 

Dim lighting.  Sounds of the waves right next to you.  Elevator type music played in the background. They have a cool lounge area around the bar for people that want to hang out closer to the beach side.  Hookahs available.

*Cost-

Very reasonable for the wide array of food they have available.  I would come back again for all of their desserts and certain dishes that stuck out to me (duck and scallops).  

*Attire-

I called to ask about dress code and the guy on the phone said "Just dress nice." hahahaha.

*Bottom Line-

Did I mention that I loved their Duck breast? Haha.  Great location, great dessert (from what I've tasted so far in Grenada, the best), great duck, butter, and scallops.  I highly suggest this restaurant, especially for special occasions.  If you're looking to not spend so much money, they have a decently priced lunch menu!!!

Scallops

*Tips-  Don't forget to make reservations and don't forget to wear insect repellent!  The mosquitoes in Grenada are persistent and unforgiving.  I suggest taking a taxi to this restaurant as it is not conveniently located on a main local bus route.  Don't forget to bring your camera!
