Breakfast (0630 - 0830)
The menu was basically the same as yesterday, with juice, tea or coffee, a fruit-based dish or cereal, a main dish and toast.
The "Tropical Fruit" mixture - honeydew melon with native currants and a vinegarette dressing was rather disappointing. Just the melon on its own was rather monotonous and the currants were quite hard, with large stones in the centre.
The Eggs Florentine was in contrast excellent. This was made up with a muffin base, baby spinach, smoked salmon, poached eggs and bernaise sauce.
Another attractive looking alternative involved blueberries in syrup, fruit bread and double cream.
Lunch (13:00)
This was very similar to lunch on the first day, beginning with individual damper rolls, but this time accompanied by pepperberry butter and Davidson plum chilli preserve. The plum preserve had a delicious tang to it.
Continuing on with the fish theme, I selected as a main course the crispy skin Regatta Point Atlantic Salmon. This was served with asparagus spears, spiced watermelon cubes, cucumber and coriander salsa and fresh lime. The fish was beautifully cooked and the accompaniments were fresh and tasty. The watermelon really worked as part of the dish.
For dessert I did wonder if I should try the pannacotta, but decided to try the Lemon Meringue tart for a second time. It was again served with a mint leaf on top and a sweet and rich wild berry sauce containing redcurrants, raspberries and blueberries. The tangy lemon curd was tangy and slightly runny. There seemed to be some shredded coconut in the dish as well. The meringue was light and fluffy and the pastry was a good consistency. I felt that the dish was better the second time around - very enjoyable as a refreshing little dessert.
The meal was rounded off with a good strong full-bodied and cleansing cup of coffee with a pleasing after-taste. This was the best coffee that I had tasted for the whole journey.
This looks really very delicious. I must try this.
