This roulade is served with smoked causa purée, togarashi spiced cranberry jam and turkey skin puffed chicharron bits. This feature is completed with a 12 hour turkey gravy jus.
“Every part of an animal should not be wasted. I enjoy chewing the bone to the marrow for its pungent flavours and want everyone to appreciate the taste of it.“ – Executive Chef Jorge Kim
Handcrafted dessert by Ancora Ambleside’s Pastry Chef Maika, showcases irresistible Kabocha Panna Cotta for $11 per person. This unique dessert is made with kabocha squash, crème Chantilly and caramelized yam, ticking off all the boxes for the perfect Thanksgiving dessert.
“Kabocha is a Japanese Pumpkin used in many savory and pastry food in Japan. Daigaku imo (caramelized sweet potato) is a homestyle side dish in Japan. Yams were first cultivated in Peru which ties this whole dish together. The crème Chantilly balance the thick consistency of the pumpkin and yam with a smooth aftertaste.” – Pastry Chef Maika

This spiced fruit cocktail is made from Woodford reserve bourbon, Kraken black spiced rum, Pierre Ferrand dry curacao and crabapple bitters.
