Soup : Asparagus / Champagne & Star Anise (Liquorice) Soup
Liquorice
Chewing on bits of licorice root is said to enhance love and lust. It is particularly stimulating for women.
Asparagus
Given its phallic shape, asparagus is frequently enjoyed as an aphrodisiac food. The Vegetarian Society suggests "eating asparagus for three days for the most powerful effect".
Champagne
Viewed as the "drink of love," moderate quantities lower inhibitions and cause a warm glow in the body.
Appetizer : Tofu / Thai Basil & Pine Nut Pesto / Garlic Infused Honey with Soba Noodles; Non veg option: Prawns / Thai Basil & Pine Nut Pesto / Garlic Infused Honey with Soba Noodles
Pine Nuts
Pine nuts are rich in zinc, a key mineral necessary to maintain male potency. These have been used to stimulate the libido as far back as Medieval times.
Basil
Is said to stimulate the sex drive and boost fertility. It also produces a general sense of well being for body and mind.
Honey
Many medicines in Egyptian times were based on honey including cures for sterility and impotence. Medieval seducers plied their partners with Mead, a fermented drink made from honey.
Garlic
The heat in garlic is said to stir sexual desires. Make sure you and your partner share it together… but in moderation.
Main Course : Grilled Panko Crusted Corn, Ginger & Potato Cakes / Basil Fried Rice / Cilantro Vinaigrette; Non veg option: Grilled Lobster / Pineapple Salsa / Wasabi Mayo / Pickled Ginger
Cilantro
The book of The Arabian nights tells a tale of a merchant who had been childless for 40 years and but was cured by a concoction that included coriander. That book is over 1000 years old so the history of coriander as an aphrodisiac dates back far into history.
Ginger
Ginger root raw, cooked or crystallized is a stimulant to the circulatory system. Perhaps a stir-fry with freshly grated ginger can stir something spicy up in the bedroom later.
Dessert: Banofee Pie & Pineapple Rum Coulis
Bananas
With its marvelously suggestive shape, the banana flower is partially responsible for popularity of the banana as an aphrodisiac food. An Islamic myth tells the tale that after Adam and Eve succumbed to the apple, they started covering their nudity with banana leaves rather than fig. From a more practical standpoint, bananas are rich in potassium and B vitamins, necessities for sex hormone production.
Pineapple
Rich in vitamin C, this tropical fruit is used in the homeopathic treatment for impotence. Add a spear to a sweet Rum drink for a tasty prelude to an evening of passion.
