How it is prepared - Here at 31 Bar & Kitchen, Executive Chef Tan Chee Leong first the blanched the tiger prawns to only 50% doneness, then diced them into smaller cubes. The fresh mango is also diced into bite size cubes. To flavor the Ceviche, Chef Tan Chee Leong simply adds finely chopped dill & coriander, in addition pepper & EVOO is added to taste. Generally this starter appetizer is prepared earlier in the day & chilled in chiller ready to be served when the order is placed.
Tasting Notes - The diced fresh mango lends a sweet sourly flavor, the diced tiger prawns are cooked al dente about 40% doneness that gives an added crunchy bite, the cherry tomatoes are halved and contribute to a tarty flavor. Chef Tan Chee Leong uses fair bit of chopped onions, lemon, lime to add citrus twist & a salsa tinge. Lastly Chef Tan uses coriander leaves to garnish. The mango juices are infused into the citrus sauce at the base, lending a strong salsa tinge with a sweet crunchy bite from the tiger prawns, altogether a citrus refreshing taste. This Tiger Prawn & Mango Ceviche is served chilled in a mini jar & is indeed a tasty appetizer for those who love salsa. Coriander finely chopped to give a herbal flavor from coriander.
Altogether when savoring the Tiger prawns & Mango Ceviche, you'll be able to taste sweetness from the fresh mango, strong citrus flavor from the lemon juice, crunchy bite from the onions & blanched cured tiger prawn cubes. There is also a distinct herbal flavor from the blend of herbs used in this recipe : coriander & dill.
