Ports of Call
Our main focus, which was of course the food, certainly did not fail to satisfy. You have the option of enjoying the extensive buffet or the unique selections from the A’ La Carte menu. At the moment, however, they only host buffet for breakfast brunch and dinner and not lunch. Despite this, the A’ la carte menu is certainly enough to satisfy all your gastronomic cravings. The choice is endless, from impressive salads, cured meats and seafood preparations, pizza, pasta and of course an abundant array of desserts.
We opted to try out the “Cobb Salad” first. It contained a generous quantity of chicken, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, boiled egg, cilantro with spring onion and butter milk froth. The portion size was humongous and priced at just Rs. 1250/-. It’s a great starter, enough for about 3 people, or maybe even 4 depending on the appetite. Next we tried out the “Lobster
Bisque” which was also really nice. It was extremely smooth and creamy and had sizable chunks of lobster, and to make things better, there was a light undertone of brandy as well. The garlic bread they kept as a side dish for the bisque was truly the cherry on the cake.
The next dish and the highlight of the menu was the fish ‘n chips. It was a dish that simply made you go “WOW”. There was a huge piece of White fish fillet which was fried in beer batter and served with massive potato wedges complemented by a mouthwatering tartare sauce and a piece of lemon to give it that extra tang. I absolutely loved it!
