On Tuesday I had a chance to try some dishes at the Heron Portico restaurant Mdalasini. We had a starter, main meal and dessert. It was a fantastic meal. The chef was kind enough to give us the recipes for the dishes that we ate. I will be doing the review of the food later. My favourite was the starter salad which is a meal in itself. Try this at home or even better make your way to the Heron Portico Hotel.
