"Today I'll be reviewing the catering at Island Mix.\n\nMy best friend recently got married last week and instead of using the food from the reception venue, she went with catering from one of her favorite West Indian restaurants \"Island Mix\" which is a blend of Asian/Caribbean inspired dishes.\n\nThe first dish was the wonton pork soup. By no fault of the caterer's themselves, the soup was cold when I ate it. It was my fault because I was the Maid of Honor and was running around when the dish was placed at my seat. I had to double check with the servers that the soup didn't contain any fish oil as most Asian-inspired meals do. My sister is deathly allergic and this could have been a very bad situation if it was added as an ingredient. Luckily, it didn't and no epi pen was needed. I very much appreciated that as sometimes products that are labeled as veggie or meat, will contain the smallest trace of fish which would create a serious episode. Even though my soup was cold, I was very much hungry and ate every last spoonful. It was delicious!!! The wonton's had some seasoned pork inside and the broth wasn't too salty but definitely not bland. YUM!\n\nThe second course was a salad which I found delicious but it's an acquired taste for sure. It seemed to be split down the line as to who enjoyed it. Because it had goat cheese and balsamic dressing added to it, some people found it to be smelly and didn't enjoy the taste. But I love cheese. ALL cheese so it tasted DELICIOUS to me! I wish I had MORE of that to be honest.\n\nThe dinner itself...can't lie, seemed a bit mediocre. It could have been the fact that it was kinda cold though so it's hard to say if it just didn't taste that great because it was cold. The chicken was like a fried chicken and it was flavorful. The fried rice tasted a tad disappointing but again, it could be just because fried rice never tastes good cold. And the broccoli in this garlic style sauce was actually pretty yummy. I wish there was a little sauce for the chicken though. Paired with the fried rice I remember thinking it was a tad dry.\n\nI never had dessert even though it looked and I heard was delicious. It was a 3 mini styled desserts with cheesecake and 2 other styled cakes."^^ . "2013-10-29T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . "4"^^ . . .
