Birthday food adventures part 1? Well, stop 1. I didn't have it til later, after ice cream. I knew I was going to be in the area, and I took to Yelp to see what was good. I came across Sugar Loaf, and took a look at their menu. I saw coconut panna cotta. We've been on a slight bit of a panna cotta kick since 0109, so I knew my mother would be interested in this. Coconut and panna cotta. That's two delicious things put together. Since it was my birthday, I figured I'd bring a treat home for the lovely lady who gave me life.
The coconut panna cotta ($5.50) comes in a cute little jar exactly like the one they took a picture of for their online menu. The description reads, "Coconut panna cotta, topped with passionfruit coulis and mandarin segments". My mother enjoyed the panna cotta, but the coconut was very subtle. Had I not known it was supposed to be coconut, I would have guessed mandarin panna cotta, because that was all I could taste.
Pretty and tasty, but certainly not what I was expecting.
