That sauce was just the highlight of the afternoon for me. RESPECT the persistence!ДЄfter the interesting risotto, came a Crispy Chicken Roulade with Gooseberry Sauce.

Despite the the setback of having a power outage, the Chef continued to cook the risotto over the coal grill. We were then presented with a Saffron Risotto with shrimp, scallop, fennel and some edible flowers. The pesto dressing brought everything together in orchestral harmony on the palate.ДЇollowing the Caprese was a very colorful Spring Beef Salad. The little cherry and heirloom tomatoes were packed with flavor, which married well with the creaminess of the Mozzarella and the salty Bresaola. Now for the real dealвЂ¦ The first dish, was quite a unique version of Caprese Di Bufala. I was warmly greeted by both the host and hostess of Club Clandestine a very dedicated couple, who continue to elevate the taste of the food industry in Egypt. You could see it all, but you were far enough to bypass the traffic, noise and pollution. The view of the water with a faintly distant Maadi in the background was just the cherry on top. The setting was almost magical! Everything was bright, refined, elegant and truly carried the spirit of the spring season with it. We all stepped of the boat as it dropped us off on the other side of the Nile. Everyone was very anxious to know where we would start this very special experience. My love for food was definitely stronger than my fear of getting kidnapped, mugged or robbed.ДЄs soon as I got on the Nile Taxi, I started to see some familiar faces and it made me feel slightly more relieved. On a lovely early April afternoon, I was instructed by an invitation to go to the Maadi Corniche and get on a boat to take me to an undisclosed location, where I was sure to have the best food.
