Wan Chai Star + Sun + Moon streets are famous for good bites with amazing vibe, we feel so lucky to have discovered a new place to hang out in this friendly neighborhood area. In this dynamic area, the restaurant got us attracted with its name, where moonshine as a disguised alcohol name during the alcohol prohibition in the US, and po'boy simply means poor boy has now transformed into a traditional submarine sandwich from Louisiana.
The two-storey restaurant offers the upper floor a more private area for some big groups of people and some sofa chairs are also placed facing out, but why?
Well, it's because during every Wednesday night, live bands music would be available at the mini stage opposite to the upper floor. Customers should considering choosing the upper deck for better view if they enjoy live music.
Back to the lower floor, being submerged in chic decors, our stomach had started rumbling. We have started with some signature cocktails for a quite fix.
Smoked Bacon Old Fashioned ($135)The restaurant uses all housemade infused hard drinks like this bacon bourbon mixed with chocolate bitter, brown sugar and aromatic bitter.

If you know me well, I am a big fan of peanut butter. I would probably eat everything that has the world peanut butter in it. This innovative cocktail was made with Makers Mark, caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream, topped with crispy popcorn.
Compared to other peanut butter milkshake I have had in other places, this one was actually milder and lighter in texture, yet the taste was fresh with the nuttiness. Since this is an alcoholic cocktail, we found the sweetness and the bitterness actually balanced out with each other, however, it may not be the best drink to order for those who doesn't have a sweet tooth. Plus, we were quite surprised that some of the popcorn was still crispy after being soaked in the drink.

Sitting on a bed of fresh and crispy as hell iceberg lettuce, there were spiced croutons, pine nuts, olives, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese, radish, shallots, sprinkled with roasted garlic Parmesan. It was a light and refreshing starter to share among friends.

There were quite a lot of clams in this little bowl of soup, along with some potato chunks that were very soft and almost mashy-like, don't skip out on the garlic bread because it was super crunchy and packed with strong garlic flavour. We found it a perfect match to dip the bread into the soup! Thou, wondering if the price was being a bit aggressive to this portion?

The restaurant takes the name of the dishes seriously to its US root! Bayou Bucket an annual college football game! The seafood bucket contained all in-season picks including king crab legs, tiger prawns, blue crab, clams and mussels with andouille sausage, sweet corn on the cob, and new potatoes
with your choice of sauces between cajun garlic butter, sichuan peppercorn, and pepper lemon and herbs. We have picked sichuan peppercorn sauce and it was mildly spicy which went well with the fresh and light seafood

The steak still had a pink center and it was tender and juicy. Dipping with their BBQ sauce would be the way to go.

The ribs were marinated for long hours with signature Jack Daniel and Peach BBQ sauce. We liked that it was not too sweet and too saucy. The ribs they use are generally fattier than other places, therefore, they were all very soft the meat could be torn off easily.

The KFC-like fried chicken was definitely better than KFC. It was in fact not as salty as KFC and the seasoning was comparatively light. The huge chicken thigh was fried with only a thin layer of batter, served with crunchy soleslaw and cranberry apple sauce. If you like strong savory taste, this dish may not be 100% suitable for you, but someone said he loved it so much he could eat that every day, could you?

Although our appetite had reached the sated stage, this jambalaya was something we couldn't resist to have one and other spoonfuls. The very aromatic rice was cooked with secret flavourful minced meat sauce, topped with a few big fresh prawns and paprika powder. The smoky flavour from the paprika gave the dish an attitude, a BBQ-like attitude. We liked the mixed flavour of spicy and savory, truly mouthwatering.

Both desserts were highly addictive, we liked they were served on a hot skillet to keep the temperature warm during this cold weather. If you do not have a sweet tooth like me, I would suggest to go for Ebony & Ivory
