Chopperia Bahamas Dinner
On our way back from the police station, we stopped at the Chopperia Bahamas Restaurant. It is located on the beach side of the street next to the pier in Tambau. They had a few customers already, even though it was not 5 PM yet. We got a nice seat near the beach side so we could look out at the ocean while we dined. The waiter saw us using the dictionary with the menu, and brought us an English menu. It was poorly translated, but better than nothing. They had some promotion, one order for 3 people. One dish, shared among three people. I saw the Greek style shrimp variety and recommended that to Laura. She didn't protest much. The menu does not indicate what else accompanied the order, and we questioned not placing an order for some extra side portions. We were delighted when the meal arrived. There were 5 egg roll looking 6 inch long shrimp things in a tiny amount of tasty creamy tomato sauce on top of two leaves of lettuce, with 2 cucumber slices and 4 carrot (uncooked / dry wilted) slices as garnish. The girls ate the cucumbers and carrots regardless. The shrimp dish was accompanied with a dish of rice, and a dish of mashed potatoes. The white rice had tiny bits of green pepper and chicken, probably 1 part per thousand, or at least 1 part per 500. The shrimp here are not large. They were tiny, and not deveined. They grouped the shrimp together, and wrapped a pasta/bread/dough type shell around them, and fried the shell, not till crunchy, but just to slighty cook the breading. They then laid a slice of cheese over this fried roll, and then applied the sauce. The overall meal was delicious. The girls ate it up without a single complaint. They even had seconds. Laura and I struggled to finish the double starches, but overall it was the best meal we have had here at a restaurant. The total with tax turned out to be R$32.45 = US$17.60.
