Dinner @ Magic City

The last time we had dinner at Magic City was about this time four years ago(!) so we're more than overdue for another visit.

Seared Tuna, Wasabi Mayonnaise, Pickled Radish, Nori Salt

Paalo couldn't resist ordering the seared tuna and when you see it, you can understand.

Seared Scallops, chicken wings, green onion, sweetcorn, sesame

The chicken wings had been boned and fried and served in bite sized pieces. Scallops were well cooked, still translucent on the inside - the sweetcorn puree was very smooth.

Mains

Roasted Lamb Rump with dried fruit tabouleh and roasted carrots

While Paalo did enjoy this dish, he would have preferred to have my choice.

Coconut braised beef brisket with salad of green mango, peanuts and asian herbs

I feel sorry for the lamp rump as it was no match for this coconut braised brisket. The sauce alone was incredible but add that to the beautifully tender and flavoursome brisket and it is close to perfection. Each bite makes you want to take another and another.

Dessert:

Vanilla bean pannacotta

The pannacotta was served with strawberries in many forms - jelly, sorbet, dried, sauce.

Banana Semifreddo, toasted marshmallow
