Seven course tasting menu at Myoga
The extensive tasting menu of seven courses
We started with a glass of Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel
one of our favourite MCC brut bubblies
Most of the photographs you will see here were taken under a large orange roof light which made the pictures taken under it become almost monochrome orange. Neither Nikon's nor Adobe Photoshop's technology could change it. Some of the pictures were taken in the other part of the room and the colour, while far from perfect, is a bit more acceptable. We dislike using flash in restaurants because we take a fairly large number of photographs and the constant flashing would be very irritating to the other diners.
First the Mouth Ticklers: John’s Smoked Trout
ceviche with wasabi Spuma (foam)
Lynne chose a BBQ pork glass spring roll which had
a sharp Asian dipping sauce which she managed to drip all over the table!
Then the starters
John chose the 7 spice bresaola with just cooked
baby beets, micro greens and honey mustard sauce. Micro greens were used
through the meal and the quality and flavour of them was stupendous.
These tiny
seedling leaves add a lot of punch to a dish and his wine was the Domain des Dieux Sauvignon Blanc
Lynne had the pan fried prawns with a sweet chilli
sauce on half of the plate and a thick coriander spuma on the other side. Good
prawns, not at all mealy. Served was the Hartenberg Riesling. This highlighted the coriander amazingly. This
was our week for Riesling)
We had a small incident at this stage and course
four was served to us before course three so we also got a bit confused with
the wine pairings so we tasted all four wines with all four dishes..
Third course was soup or salad and, because we
could not decide we ordered both our choices, and swapped half way through. We had the hot and spicy Thai inspired green
curry chowder (lots of coriander) with whitefish mussels, lime, truffle roasted
sweetcorn and charred red pepper salsa. Does truffle go with green curry? Maybe not, it tends to get
overwhelmed. The wine was Delheim's beautiful, fragrant rose petal
Gewürztraminer, quite a sweet wine for this hot curry.
Lynne ordered the Asparagus salad, dressed baby
leaves, halloumi, soft poached egg and togarashi spice.
We had to search for the two small spears of
asparagus buried below the leaves, halloumi and egg but it was worth it. Sterhuis Chenin Blanc was a good accompaniment.
4th course is Risotto or pasta. Lynne
made risotto the night before so she went for the duck crespelle with a very
sweet sauce l’orange and creamed spinach which tasted rather like coriander
spuma.
John loves Risotto so he ordered the prawn and
chive risotto. The chives were intense
micro greens, quite wonderful and the risotto had the correct bite and creaminess. Wine served was the Secateurs Chenin
Blanc.
Fifth course and you are ready for a good
pause, so you get a sorbet in a tiny shot glass. Lynne had the Pear and
Elderflower and John the Ginger and Lime
After quite a long pause we were ready for our
main courses. John went for the Cheehou Beef, a Chinese BBQ sous-vide (cooked
sealed with the flavours in a vacuumed plastic pouch, at a low temperature in a
water bath held at about 52 degrees) fillet, meltingly tender with a red
knuckle ragout, herbed potato puree and butter poached carrots with a chive
veloute (velvety smooth sauce).
Wine served with a beautiful 2009 spicy Vrede
and Lust Shiraz
Lynne also chose beef and had the truffle teriyaki
beef, also a sous vide fillet, with stunning tempura vegetables piled on top,
nam jim (a classic hot, sour and tangy Thai dressing) and spiced Cilantro (USA
use this name for fresh coriander) pachadi ( a finely chopped vegetable side
dish curry from S India or Sri Lanka) Her wine was the Beyerskloof Pinotage
reserve, a good wine but not to Lynne’s taste as the spices in the dish made
the wine excessively metallic.
We were now getting quite full but still had
dessert to look forward to.
Lynne had chosen an all time favourite, Pear Tarte
Tatin and it did not disappoint. Crisp pastry covered with soft sweet baked
pears. it came with quite a burnt caramel sauce with walnuts. This was served
with an unusual gorgonzola ice cream which Lynne found a bit rich and wouldn’t
rave about. The gorgonzola is a bit soapy and it takes something away from the
tart. This was served with Nederburg’s 2012 Noble Late harvest, the perfect complement
to the tart but perhaps not the cheesy ice cream.
Amazingly John resisted the chocolate assiette and
went for the Apple Gooseberry linzer crumble with a cherry gel and toasted
almond milktart.
He loved the match with Pierre Jordan Haute Cabriere Ratafia
- a dessert wine that matches so many things.
