New England knows how to make a great clam chowder. While visiting Boston in a really chilly weather, we were feeling like getting a nice cup of soup. What’s better than soup? Chowder! What’s better than a cup of soup? Chowder in a bread bowl!!!
You have some good options when you are at Faneuil Hall, and I heard Boston Chowda does really nice bread bowl. So, we decided to get one from there. Also, their lobster roll on the display looked amazing, so we decided to get that too.
New England Clam Chowda in Bread Bowl ($9.49) is filled with chowder that was voted “Boston’s Best.” It is made with tender sweet surf clams, fresh cream, clam stock, and Idaho potatoes. The bread bowl was a nice size, and it was surprisingly good. Fluffy yet dense, sturdy, and filling. Chowder was good too, lots of little potatoes. Creamy and comforting, great on a cold day!
Then, Hot Buttered Lobster Roll ($21.99). Their signature sandwich made with Main lobster meat, mixed with mayonnaise, placed on top of lettuce. Served on a grilled Brioche roll. First of all, it didn’t look like the display, the one on display had maybe twice as much lobster meat in there… Anyways, it was sooo buttery! It still had a nice amount of lobster meat, soft and juicy. However, one of the lobster meat had big shells attached to it, which was annoying… Other than that, it was very tasty!
It was the perfect lunch for us, exactly what we wanted. The price was affordable too. Nice spot to try some Boston lobster roll and clam chowder!
