Apart from our regular fixed menu and daily specials, we have served quite a few “Tasting” menus during the past month or so. Tasting Menus costs a little extra, but you get a few more dishes than you normally would. These menus we enjoy preparing the most!

Below are some highlights from the previous month…

King Prawns in Pho Consommé Jelly get ready for the final touches.

It is garnished with some micro-herbs and a few good dollops of Citrus Truffle Sauce.

Next up are Spider Crab Futomaki.

Our Spider Crabs, locally known as “Centollo” are purchased live before being cooked. The meat is then removed whilst it is still warm and used in various recipes. Slices of cucumber give the Futomaki an nice crispy crunch. These are hand rolled just before serving to ensure that the Nori sheet retains its texture and doesn’t become soggy.

Carabineros are an extravagant topping for sushi. Per kilo they are more expensive than Lobster. The taste is simply divine and well worth it. Like in all our recipes featuring the Scarlet Prawn, a sauce is made from the head. In the case of this sushi, the sauce is served separately in a small bowl with a brush so that the diner can “paint” more flavour on to it.

Next up is Salmon Skin Temaki.
