Lanterne Rooms 17-7-19

Present: John (it was his birthday dinner) Ron, Jim, Megan.

We had the $68 winter menu:

• Ocean trout profiteroles with grapefruit.  Superb with crunchy pastry and surprise szechwan pepper oil
• prowns tom yum, their signature dish with curry leaves, melon salad.  Again, unbeatable, the curry leaves gave fabulous contrast to the salad.
• Porkbelly, cabbage and chilli sauce was very tender.  The sauce complemented it well and was beautifully cooked.
• Chargrilled chicken sambal and cucumber was very tasty.
• The beef was everyone's favourite, very tender, again the use of the curry leaves was brilliant.
• Tofu with fried mushrooms was lovely
• Bass (fish) with vermicelli and silverbeet was very delicate.
• sago and mango pudding with pomegranated was very refreshing.

Great night as per always with the Lantern Room.
