Seared Sea Scallop with Kumara-Red Curry Puree and Apple Radish Salad – that is a mouthful to say. I had no idea what kumara was. Even tasting the dish I was not sure as I focused on the quality of the scallop. So Google tells me that outside of New Zealand, kumara is referred to as sweet potatoes. So the scallop was on a sweet potato and red curry puree. There was a hint of spice due to the curry but not much at all.
The scallop was very slightly overdone. However it was sweet with a nice texture – making it enjoyable. The apple radish salad was a nice surprise. It was fresh and the taste really complemented the sweetness of the scallop.
The dish was good but not good enough to warrant a repeat. The staff did a nice job with the flavors and not overcooking scallops is a big plus for them.

Can’t do scallops but the apple radish slaw sounds pretty interesting to me. Was it dressed with a really light vinaigrette? Look at how evenly diced the apple is and the radish matchsticks.
Lisa – yes, it was very light with very little oil but maybe a bit of sugar. It was not sweet but there was just the hint which made it very tasty. Yes, everything was prepped well and it was quite crunchy – which meant “fresh” for the apples…
