Mauritius, the home of spice, seafood and traditional ways of cooking! (Also some amazing weather to top it off!) So you can imagine my excitement, the equivalent of drinking 1000s of red bull, when we heard about the lobster night! Lobster, a scary creature alive, a absolute delicacy dead. How is it that all scary creatures normally taste good? Shark, a delicacy, for its shark fin soup. Squid (not that dangerous, but counts as "can be"), calamari can be a beautiful dish if done by a experienced chef (like me!). Anyway, Lobster evening...
Sorry for showing the pudding, I just couldn't help showing you how beautiful it looked on the plate! This Lobster evening was a lobster evening to remember because of these facts.
1. Presentation - Presentation is key, no - ones gonna eat your food if it's looks horrible.
2. Taste - Spice, sweet, sour, soft, hard, seasoning, these are great things to add to your cooking to make it interesting and more pleasurable for your guest.
3. Effort - A good plate of food, is only made with effort and so to reward that effort, respect the chef! you could tell this chef put effort into all 3 of these facts.
That is why this night was fabtastic, because it was faultless. The rest of my week was brilliant, food, food, food was the fashion in Mauritius, so I guarantee where ever you go in Mauritius, you'll find food, is what they think is special!
Ill take that in mind.
