Munch to Moon Over

Since it’s a grill place and since the menu is still being fine tuned and because outside it’s hotter than a dwarven forge,we decide to marshal our forces towards an attack on the mains. We order a Prawn,Grilled Pork Sausages and a Peri Peri Mutton and then fall back to assemble our cutlery in the approved martial manner.

The mutton,to which we were looking forward to,turns out to be the joker of the pack. Drowned in a propriety sauce (all fingers point to Nando’s),the mutton,though well cooked,has no taste of its own. The entire dish’s flavour is dominated by the suspect Nando’s sauce,which may be a great team player but by itself is hardly the entire ballet de corps. The sausages,meanwhile,are excellently grilled and flavoured,and obviously sourced from extremely happy little pigs.

But it’s the prawns that walk (or whatever is the preferred form of locomotion for shrimps) away with the honours. Large,fabulously textured and bursting with flavour,the dish is a textbook (or Larousse Gastronomique) example of how prawns ought to be cooked.

With our dessert we hit another technical snag. Having ordered a Peanut Butter Tart we are pleased (initially anyway) that it lives up to its name,more in some parts than the others. Then we bite into it. Immediately,a cloud of peanut dust bursts and proceeds to coat our tongue,palate,throat and tonsils with equal impunity. We regress into a coughing fit of epic proportions while sincerely regretting all those times we had laughed at people with food allergies. Karma apparently is nuts. However,being gluttons for punishment we naturally finish the tart,enjoying it despite the occasional choking spasms and disembodied voices telling us to come toward the light.
