Bahia Principe San Juan a la Carte Restaurant & Menu - Part 3 (Takara) - January 2016

Please see Part 1 for information related to all a la carte restaurants at the resort.

Takara

 

Interior views of the restaurant.  Please note this is not fully enclosed.  There are some big open windows should you feel the need for a sweater in winter months.  Sorry, we had seating at 7pm, not our usual 6:30 slot so the pictures have more patrons in them than usual.
 

 This a la carte restaurant is also not full sit down.  Again, the buffet is for the appetizer and dessert.  You just choose your main course.  You can see the buffet in the picture directly above.

Welcome drink was lime tasting.  

 

My husband's appetizer selections.  Spring roll, crab claws (not tasting too much crab, probably just fish), sushi (definitely not to Oriental standards!), smoked salmon, some tempura

 I chose some crab claws, a spring roll, a beef satay skewer (or is it a lamb brochette?), some noodles, shrimp cocktail and a fried shrimp crisp.

My main course was the Emperor's Caprices - shrimp and squid tempura (apparently that means one each), and duck yakitori.  I do not know where the sushi is or was but it was not there.  It came with a sweet dipping sauce.  The duck was moist as was expected and tasty.  The tempura was nice too.  All paired well with the sauce.

My husband chose the chicken brochette with pineapple and a sweet sauce. He did not like the sauce himself.

As usual I had ice cream for dessert. I took this picture because of the unusual plate.
