And then we were off to the Main Dining Room to rendezvous with my other colleague and his wife. As with the previous day, we were assigned to a table serviced by Andrew who recommended some of the best dishes on the dinner menu. We asked for lemonade and colleague ordered the Clos du Bois red wine for all of us.
The couple had the Salmon Tartare and the Roasted Tomato Soup. The tangy raw salmon dish which I also had was marinated in lemon juice with fennel, chives, capers and flying fish roe, not trout caviar as printed in the menu. Accompanying the seafood, a crusty toasted baguette to give the crunch factor.
When I saw the Asian-Style Pork Taco on the menu, I had envisioned that of a piece of pork wrapped in tortilla. But alas, it turned out to be our clam shell bun or kong bak bao with pulled pork in sweet chilli & soy sauce and sauteed vegetables. Don’t mean to be rude but I think the Chinese makes the best Pork Belly Buns (扣肉包).

“In November, people are good to each other. They carry pies to each other’s homes and talk by crackling woodstoves, sipping mellow cider. They travel very far on a special November day just to share a meal with one another and to give thanks for their many blessings – for the food on their tables and the babies in their arms.” – Cynthia Rylant
While in theory, November is still fall. Often in…
