Dining Out: Shrimp Boil with Corn and Baby Potatoes, Cajun Fries, Crab Cake Benedict, and French Toast with Peanut Butter and Condensed Milk at Good Catch Bar & Cafe

It's FRI-YAY! And I get an entire weekend off! Which starts with tonight's dinner with Amanda and Viv. Viv suggested going to Good Catch since it's become both a seafood boil house and an HK-style cafe in one and she's been craving both recently.

And it was there that we had seemingly the most random dinner, ever. We started with a pound of boiled peeled shrimp with corn and baby potatoes in their spicy house blend sauce and a side of deliciously crispy cajun fries. For mains, Viv decided on baked black pepper chicken with spaghetti, Amanda had the sakura shrimp and chicken fried rice, and I decided on the crab cake Benedict. Not exactly a dinner food, but I saw it on the menu on one of my previous visits and was hell-bent on finally trying it. (Plus, I am a big fan of breakfast for dinner.) It was pretty good, and came with a side of cajun home fries and salad, but I do wish the crab cake itself was more tender (I'm almost positive the crab cake was from frozen) and that there was two of them as Benedicts usually come with. I mean, we had a pound of boil to share as well, but if I had come for this Benedict alone, I don't think it would've been filling enough. And for $19.99, I expect to be full.

However, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise because Viv really wanted to get the condensed milk and peanut butter French toast for dessert, and neither Amanda nor I were going to deny having one of the most delectable HK cafe offerings known to man. As it turns out, the one at Good Catch is A BEAST. Two thick slices of milk bread with peanut butter in between, deep-fried until crispy and golden, and then drenched with condensed milk and icing sugar. (With butter on the side because this alone isn't fattening enough.) One of the most indulgent foods I've ever seen, but SO WORTH IT. 

And the reason for such a random smorgasbord of foods? Viv announced that she is officially 12 weeks pregnant. 😁
