an exotic touch of mango

I was presuming that this is "con un guiño", but as I posted, I took in the fact that you don't say that, but rather, suggest that this is the full menu entry. Correct me if I'm wrong!

So let's think of what it is as the main player of the dish...

I'm guessing "guiño" has to do with a light flavor of something. I think "twist" represents it well.

neutral  philgoddard: I don't understand your explanation. Why twist, and why are you so confident about it? //I see what you mean, but "twist" implies a twisted shape.
