platos fuertes @ Salpicón

One of the best dinners I ever ate, continued (see my appetizer here and everyone's desserts here and here). I had the duck which was just incredible.

Clockwise from upper left:

· Mixiote de Borrego* - marinated lamb shank in a classic Oaxacan red mole; served with frijoles charros (pinto beans, bacon and rajas- a side dish - not in picture)

· Pato en Salsa de Frambueza* - Grimaud Farms Muscovy duck breast grilled rare and duck leg confit served in a chipotle-raspberry sauce with butternut squash purée, diced chayote, beets and spicy walnuts

· Pescado al Carbón - Fresh fillet of seasonal fish (tilapia), charcoal-grilled and served with salsa fresca (fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro and serrano chiles); white rice

· Chiles Doña Queta - two chiles - one poblano chile stuffed with huitlacoche (earthy corn mushrooms), fresh corn and zucchini, served in a roasted poblano cream sauce; and one ancho chile filled with potatoes, Chihuahua and cotija cheese with a sweet-spiced roasted tomato sauce (huitlacoche = an odd-looking fungus that grows on corn--sounds strange, tastes divine).

*these two were specials

#6 We're Three Caballeros

Image by tcwmatt (on Hiatus)
Here's a simply picture capturing the beauty of the inside of the Mexican pavilion. It's the main entrance to the Gran Fiesta Tour starring the Three Caballeros.

Since I didn't have a tripod, I simply went to one of those little stands selling Mexican crafts and set my camera on one of the shelves. I waited for the area to be empty except for the cast member, but unfortunately that never happened. So I ended up getting a few people in the shot, but I don't think it hurts anything.

I did absolutely no editing work on this photo. This is exactly the way it came out on the camera.

It was very pretty, so I had to take another picture.

How waiters should REALLY suck up for a tip

The story:
The waiter messed up many of our orders & I threaten the tip. So when I asked for a take away and as I was the only vegetarian at the table and him to mark my box with a 'V' . . .about five minutes later he presented this to me . . .awww
In this picture: Anastacia's Left Over Nacho's with Beans. (Badly taken picture by a drunkard at the end of the evening)!

Friends meeting for dinner and drinks. The restaurant's details...Address: 127 Lower Main Road, Observatory, Cape Town. Telephone: +27 (0) 21 447 4854

We met on 29-09-2008 and considering it was a Monday evening, one would have expected no crowd. The place was bustling and absolutely full regardless of having seating space for approximately 100 (I am estimating).
