I find myself at Cactus Club again. This is three weeks in a row I think. This us stop number two of the night.
I just had an appetizer at the Taphouse an hour ago so don’t need anything big here either.
I’ve benn wanting to try the ravioli for some time. I find myself getting the ceviché most times so I think I’ll mix it up tonight.
This is absolutely fantastic.
Butternut squash and mascarpone ravioli in a truffle butter sauce topped with prawns, pine nuts and crispy sage leaves.
They nailed this one tonight. Sometimes you get the prawns slightly overcooked but not tonight. Perfectly done. The pasta was al dente. The filling so creamy. Add the crunch of the pine nuts for texture and you have just a lovely dish.
Looks great under the candle light too.
And there’s my G and T sitting in the background. Not the greatest selection of gins at Cactus, they could work on expanding their selection
I know a lot of people complain about CC these days. I myself think some of these newer ones are becoming a little bit too “corporate” feeling. But as long as Iron Chef Feenie keeps knocking out dishes like this I’ll keep coming back.
