www.womanthismonth.com October 2016 71 Bistro-style café Hévéa serves innovative, gastronomic creations inspired by the era of French colonisation of Southeast Asian countries. It is located on the ground floor of Al A’ali Shopping Complex and provides indoor and outdoor seating for guests. In a bid to constantly evolve the menu, chef and general manager Guy Gateau and owner Khalid AlShakrani keep abreast of the latest culinary trends and are constantly experimenting. As a result of their endeavours and after much trial and error, the Pistacolada was born! As the name suggests, it is the marriage of rich pistachio cream and finely diced pineapple wrapped in a pistachio-infused crepe. A drizzle of sweet pinacolada syrup harmoniously balances the eclectic flavours. Another popular favourite is the Yellow Akoya Pearl Lamb Shank, which incorporates a typical Bahraini snack. Unique in every manner, the dish has a fun twist to it. Braised lamb shank is crusted with cheese corn puffs, resting on a bed of Asian rice and cured tomato chili sauce. “Besides serving the staples, we want to engineer the menu in a way that is exclusive to Hévéa, so you will only be able find certain dishes in this restaurant,” says Khalid. Serving delectable starters, pasta, chicken and meat main courses, Hévéa also has cakes for every occasion.
