Winter: the time for heaters, scarves, gloves, gluwein, weekend mornings spent in bed with steaming coffee (and one’s laptop), and of course, perhaps best of all, soup! Soups, stews and other foods that warm you up from the inside, making winter more bearable. With this in mind, we set out to Doppio Zero in Southdowns, seeking something to warm our bellies.
A short while ago, we were given the opportunity to head out to Casalinga for the evening. We had heard about Casalinga and had it suggested a few times, so were were quite amped to get down there and taste the fruits of this place! Upon arrival in the early evening the parking lot was full, so I would recommend making a booking beforehand.
A new restaurant recently opened up in the Rooihuiskraal area, and we decided to go try it out. With a name such as “The Cardamom Pod” and modern logo and styling, we guessed that the meals would be authentic indian with a slightly funky vibe. read..
Thanks to Bonita, I had this insane and insatiable craving for sushi today. I asked a colleague for her recommendation on a good sushi spot near our offices, and she recommended Real Sushi; absolutely raving about their fashion sandwiches. So, lunch hour arrived and I donned my helmet and headed towards the parking garage…
Last Saturday, we joined some friends for a breakfast at “Chef and the Fat Man” in Centurion. We were told that it’s R35 for a full buffet breakfast. This sounded too good to be true and, upon arrival, we almost thought it was!
Back to January, back to work, and back to rushing. This was true for our arrival at Montecasino to go and watch Cinderella on ice, which was breathtaking, but that’s another review for another site… In between all the madness, we both realised we were famished, so we headed off to Cobblestones for supper. After being there once before and remembering that we enjoyed it back then, we figured we’d probably enjoy it now. We did not arrive there intending to review it, but the food made us think otherwise!
2 words: Cobblestone Pots… ok wait, 1 more word.. WOW!! Cobblestones has a “Potjie Pots” selection – meals that are served in miniature potjie pots, along with a choice of rice or mash. On a previous visit, I had the prawn curry pot, and was happily satisfied.
For the past few days, I have had a craving for Chinese food, so after seeing Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant last week at Brooklyn Mall, we decided to check it out for supper. We walked in to be greeted by friendly staff members, and were guided to a lovely quiet table at the back of the restaurant. The restaurant has great decor, and will keep your eyes occupied for quite a while as you are transported into a mini China within Brooklyn.
Last weekend we decided to go for a celebratory dinner at The Godfather in Centurion. We had not made a reservation and so, upon arrival were requested to wait in the bar area until a table was ready. The bar is quite cosy, with a relaxed vibe. As a pre-meal appetiser, we purchased a chunk of biltong from the bar (and quite a chunk it was)! This was presented on a cutting board, with a steak knife. The biltong was firm and dry on the outside but red and tender on the inside, providing a tasty chew.
We decided to try one of the restaurants suggested to us, namely The Godfather in Centurion. We arrived not quite knowing what to expect as well as sans-booking, but the friendly staff at the door added us to a waiting list and pointed us in the direction of the bar next door, where a tab would be opened for us.
Well would you look at that!
Just a couple of months in, and we're adding a new section, for drinks! If you take a gander down below, you'll see a link to it. In this section we hope to stick to our motto and review good, great and amazing drinks! So have a read, leave a comment, and perhaps try something new and daring from the menu!
