had me drooling just looking at the Menu on arrival.
Bubbly was there to kick off proceedings, as every birthday deserves bubbles. Weltevrede Philip Jonker Brut has a tingle on the tongue with biscuit on the palate and a lingering aftertaste.
The gourmet symphonic proceedings began with a waltz of Peanut Humus on Ciabatta followed by a symphony of flavours, The Mint-spiration in the Pea Soup served with a Chilli prawn skewer, was delightful for a Spring lunch, and the hint of chilli on the baby prawns evoked a tantalizing tango.
It was washed down with an almost perfect Veritas and Platter award winning Millenium Bordeaux Blend from La Motte. The hint of mint on the palate paired perfectly. And the delightful subtle cinnamon was also the consummate lead for what was to follow.
The Twist of the Cape Malay Spiced Duck Babotie served with Couscous was something one would expect to find in any top 5 Star restaurant.
Once the Hustle had died down Dessert appeared. A perfect Samba with the Espresso Chocolate Mousse taking the lead.
The bold Raka Figurehead Cape Blend completed the partnership and while the aromas of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the room the Baby Grand Piano in the corner sprang into life with everyone singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY BIRTHDAY MEMORABLE.
