THE GRILLS: Peanut Crusted Lobster
If you're the Tandoori chicken and BBQ type and like your food cooked simply but well, then the grilled food festival is right up your alley. The menu of the month long festival has been designed by the custodian chef of the coffee shops of the hotel, and the dishes have been tried and tested by the chefs here.
The USP of this festival is that the dishes are from countries south of the equator so you can sample food from exotic countries that don't normally figure on your travel plans. Countries like Seychelles, Indonesia and Mauritius, Brazil offer their bounty from the sea while Australia and New Zealand bring you tenderloin and lamb chops. The char-grilled red snapper from Mauritius and the Char-Grilled Tenderloin with Blue Cheese Polenta are hands down winners with the expats in the city. Other interesting options are marinated pork chops with fava beans cooked in Chilean style, Char- Grilled Vegetables with melted Brie from Mozambique and Corn and Jalapeno Tamale with lima bean stew from Peru. If you like it hot and spicy, try the platter from Brazil that includes chorizo sausages. These sausages are similar to pepperoni but have a meatier bite.
Chilli Lime Rubbed Chicken.
Even the dessert section includes grilled ingredients. The extremely potent looking and tasting chocolate mud cake comes with a Kahlua cream and grilled marshmallows. Mind you, the marshmallows are fresh and made by the hotel itself. The grilled vanilla bean polenta with marinated raspberries is a unique tasting combination.
The polenta is sweetened and flavoured with vanilla and made into little patty-style cakes and grilled.
Had with the berries, the result is a delicious mélange of two fruity flavours.
