I stayed with my friends Don and Nancy in Playa Rompio for a night, and Don invited us across the street to Kerouasa for an evening meal surrounded by coconut palms. The friendly Colombian couple who owned the restaurant flattened some chicken breasts and grilled them, serving these with a salad of lettuce, tomato, onion, and olives, as well as Colombian style patacones (which are obviously cut larger that the Panamanian version). This meal was noteworthy for three reasons: we had it at my old restaurant; yes, I occupied that spot for a few months some years back and had a pizza place going there. Don and Nancy were regulars at that time. Secondly, this was my first look at Colombian style patacones (fried green plantain), and thirdly they made their own white cheese (you can see a little piece on the plate), and it was delicious. Don bought me some to take with me, and the next day, in the heat of Penonome, it melted in my bag and half drowned my camera. Camera survived, but it was a waste of delicious homemade cheese. Location: Kerouasa Restaurant, Playa Rompio, Panama. Date: December 4, 2013.
