Everything about this meal promised so much; the beautiful location, our table at the water’s edge, just feet away from the clear, blue, lapping Indian Ocean brimming with life and the mouth watering choices on the menu. My senses and tastebuds had been seduced and...were ready to be spoiled.
Sadly the food did not come close to my anticipation. It wasn’t bad, it was just, okay. MyTuna sashimi was average, the crispy reef fish tasted like small soggy sweet and sour fish fingers on clumpy Jasmine rice and the dessert, a kaffir lime tart, had no flavour at all, it was just a firm flavourless gel in a pie crust.
I expected an assault of crunch, the bite of sourness, the zing of lime, perfumed sweetness and delicious spice, I got none of those and the only saving grace was the cinnamon ice cream.
It felt like we’d gone to a perfect venue and been served food from a local Chinese takeaway.
The lowest point of our holiday so far.More
