Mixing Up a Seasonal Menu; 50 New Sammy's Dishes

MANDALAY BAY — Alain Ducasse's seasonal menu at miX only sticks around through Sept. 21. The three-course menu includes new dishes created by executive chef Bruno Riou. Start with a chicken and coconut Thai soup, seared duck foie gras served with dates and lemon confit or the classic shrimp cocktail, which chef Riou gives a twist with spicy tomato syrup. Entrees include an emulsion of fish and garlic cream with the Cod Brandade decorated with capers, brown butter and fried parsley. The Au Curry roasted Maine Lobster is served on a bed of coconut basmati rice. The Slightly Glazed NE3 Pork Belly comes with a spicy "mangavocado" salad. The desserts include miX's Candy Bar, a multi-layered creation of thin wafers, chocolate and hazelnut, topped with chocolate ganache; or a slice of cheesecake accompanied by berry compote and buttermilk sorbet. The menu goes for $50. [EaterWire]
