Dinner at Jiko

|≤ <<< Saturday, March 5, 2016 >>> ≥| Background

Though we had requested to sit at The Cooking Place, it had not been blocked, so, after about a 30 minute wait we were seated in The Wine Tasting Room. Hassan, from Morocco, was our server. I started with a Maker's Mark Manhattan (10.50) and Lyd had a Tanqueray Martini (9.75). Hassan had us taste-test two different bottles of pinotage and we selected the Camberley (75). This was followed by Taste of Africa (10), which we split. Lyd ordered the Botswana-style Seswaa Beef Short Rib (48) with Cassava-Potato Puree, Sambal, and mushrooms. I selected the West African Spiced Lamb Shank (50) with Goat cheese mashed potato, roasted baby vegetables, and apple cider glace. We finished with a Capetown Coffee (10.25) of Van der Hum, Kahlua, and {decaf} coffee topped with whipped cream and a Nutty African (10.75) of Amarula, Frangelico and {decaf} coffee topped with whipped cream. We had a nice chat with David, the chef de cuisine, and thought we were finished. Nope! Hassan produced a chocolate mousse and wouldn't let us leave without a pair of macaroons as well.
