Compared to dinner the night before in “Rat Alley”, this was going to be quite a different meal (& the bill reflected this – let’s not go there !!).
We were sat down & then presented with a menu titled “Dinner with Ms. Tania Wilson” which listed a special menu for our dining experience. Mind you, the ordinary menu listed some quite mouth-watering choices as well so it made deciding quite difficult (just look at http://www.foodindigo.com/dinner.pdf).
Our menu consisted of the following:
Pre-starter
Potato and Green Garlic Soup (with shaved Truffles and Pine Nuts)
Appetizer
Crispy Duck Confit, Orange Segments, Onion Marmalade (with Bitter Greens & Port reduction)
Roast Mushroom & Goat Cheese Tart (Baby Greens & Walnut & Dressing)
Main Course
Pork Tenderloin, Braised Swiss Chard, Caramelized Onion & Bacon Mash Potato (with Fennel Apple Slaw, apple & cinnamon jus)
Semolina Crusted Pan-Seared King Fish Steak, Beetroot & Cashew Upma, Ginger Brococoli (with a tangy tomato sauce)
Green Garlic Risotto, Fennel, Asparagus & Leeks (with Parmesan cream)
Dessert
Indigo’s Hot Amaretto Souffle (yum !!)
The meal was served with matching wines: a Yalumba 2006 Shiraz Viognier for the pork; a Tasca d’Almerita 2007 Regaleali Bianco for the Fish; a Mount Nelson 2005 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with the risotto & a Ferreira Porto Tawny with the dessert (the port went down very well as it’s been some time since I’ve had a sticky...they’re not that easy to get your hands on here)
The potato & green garlic soup
Manfred also decided to have the soup (it's a Coriander Chicken Broth with Tortellini & Crispy Okra)
