White Modern Cuisine, Aruba, video visit

There have been several previous posts about White Modern Cuisine, perhaps the best restaurant here in Aruba. Now, we’re going to make a video visit, complete with shots of the kitchen staff in action. So, roll the video:

This is serious food, but with no pretension. You can relax, have a great drink, and truly enjoy the food. Next time you’re in Aruba, give this place a try. It’s well worth it.

Scott’s Brats, Aruba, redux

Sometimes you just want simple food. Stuff that makes you full, scratches and itch, brings back the old days and makes you happy to be with your friends today. Yeah, comfort food. That’s what Scott’s Brats is to me and that’s why I linger there like a stray cat that’s been fed on the back porch. So, let’s look at one of those brats with onions, eh?

Now here is a brat with just about everything.

Yeah, one of those two will fix you up where you’re broken down. Here’s a look at the menu. Very affordable prices for Palm Beach, Aruba.

And finally, check out the view from Scott’s looking to the palapa huts, Palm Beach, and the Caribbean beyond. Yeah, there are worse places to chow down. Bon dia and enjoy your meals!

Wonton Soup, interpreted in Aruba

A couple of posts ago, I showed the menu for White Modern Cuisine, a restaurant here in Aruba that (in my humble opinion) is about the best on the island. There I was a couple of nights ago, having a few drinks and got a hankering for a snack, something that only happens 9.34 times out of ten. Gazing at the menu, I spotted the wonton soup, thinking… hmmmmmm. Well, it was worth the try and below you’ll see why. It comes in two parts. First:

Part 1 of White Modern Cuisine wonton soup.

Those wontons above are crispy and packed with flavor. The other ingredients are as fresh as you can get. Then there is Part 2, delivered by the waiter as you see here.

That’s right, he pours the broth over the top while you watch. Hot, fresh, tasty. The broth is subtle, adding the kind of reliable base that only makes the other individual components stand out more. And those tiny wontons released flavor with every chew. Of course, you can see the crispy carrot and chives which blended in perfectly. Yeah, I like this place. If all goes well, I’ll have a video soon. Bon dia. (And please, eat SLOWLY. Enjoy your food.)

A flag to consider…

…when remembering that today, the 4th of July, marks the anniversary of a stunning change in history. Hear these words:

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Original “Navy Jack” flag.

Words to consider… words to live by… and a standard under which to face the enemies of freedom be they where they may.
