Thursday, 24th August 2006

As part of this:



this was where I had lunch on Thursday.



Starter:



Avocado salad with diced apples with a simple vinaigrette dressing. The dressing was lovely with just enough tartness to cut into the richness of the avocado. The apples were sweet and balanced well with the dressing.

Main Course:



Panfried chicken breast with mushrooms and chestnuts in a cream sauce served with a potato rosti. It's not easy to cook chicken breasts as they tend to become hard and dry if you're not careful but I think they have this just right. The outside was beautifully browned and it must have been finished off in the oven as the inside was still tender and juicy.

Dessert:



A simple mango, strawberry and grape platter with strawberry coulis.

We sat outside, in the shade, overlooking the Brunei Bay. Very, very pleasant and the glass of champagne went down nicely too.

Thank you again to the person who hosted the lunch.
