It’s one of the dishes I’d planned to eat, having pre-examined the current tasting menu with unusual excitement. Just named Tomato, I was put in mind of one called that at Pretoria’s Mosaic restaurant shortly after it opened. It had been served on a long thin dish with various tomato presentations laid along it, before Chantal Dartnall’s high-floral platings period. It is nothing like what I’m eating. This is a dish by individualistic chef Candice Philip.
