Mango Mantra

Venetian Macao’s Indian restaurant, The Golden Peacock, is launching a new “Mango Mantra” special promotion, showcasing fresh imported Indian mangoes. Known as the king of mangoes in India, alphonso mangoes are the main ingredients of the limited-time a-la-carte menu, designed to celebrate the wonderful fruit coming into season.
“We strive to introduce new dining experiences for our guests by coming up with new creative menus.” said Paul Justin, Senior Chef of The Golden Peacock. “This time, we have prepared a variety of refreshing dishes made with alphonso mangoes freshly imported from India. ‘Mango Mantra’ is like a story book from which guests can get to know this ‘sacred’ fruit in India by taking them on a gourmet journey over several courses. I hope this summer twist will delight diners at The Golden Peacock.”
Highlights of the special menu include tandoori tiger prawn, a king prawn appetizer served with a mango cilantro relish and spicy pickled onions; amras ki champ, cooked with Australian lamb chops, fresh mango, fresh cream and cashew nuts; and mango mango mango, a decadent mango dessert featuring pistachios, almonds, cardamom, thick organic milk and saffron to give it an Indian twist.
