I love when my city surprises me: Narina Trogon, Braamfontein

February 6, 2013 by • Food • Tags: • 0 Comments

I’m quite lucky to work where I do, because we get free food in our canteen. The food is of a really high quality and there are tons of options, so I seldom leave the office to go anywhere else for lunch. My cbd based friends often come and visit me for lunch at the […]

The best red velvet cupcakes in Jozi- Belle’s Patisserie

February 4, 2013 by • Food, Uncategorized • Tags: • 7 Comments

Monday, again! I haven’t had the easiest few weeks with my dad being ill (he has been diagnosed with lung cancer)- I’m very worried about him. Luckily my friend Pratika is getting married in PE next weekend, so I’ll have an opportunity to visit then, and I’m hoping to go home more regularly after that. I’m trying to […]

With the launch of 3SIXTY liquid lounge, we now have a reason to go to Monte…

February 1, 2013 by • Food • Tags: • 1 Comment

I don’t know about you guys, but I hate Montecasino. I’m forced to go there because of the theatre, but I’d never go there by choice just to hang out. The cobblestone floors f*ck up my heels, the decor is kitsch and lame and it’s always so busy. I’m well aware that many people love […]

Get your comfort food fix at Fateema’s

January 21, 2013 by • Food • Tags: • 6 Comments

Happy Monday! To be honest, after a bumper 2012 (where everything went, well, perfectly)- 2013 is proving to be quite challenging so far. Work has been work. My dad isn’t doing so well, he is actually getting ready to go to the hospital in a few hours to have some tests done. He’s 77 now so […]

Foodie Find: New Lunch Spot, Teta Mari in Illovo

January 17, 2013 by • Food • Tags: • 2 Comments

Whenever I meet new bloggers/ media who are passionate about the same things I am (food and travel), I always ask them about their favourite Jozi restaurants as well as the best holidays they have been on. Most of the time the restaurants that come up are ones I love too, or have already been […]

High Tea at 54 on Bath

January 15, 2013 by • Food • Tags: • 9 Comments

I love high teas. I always imagine myself as a princess in England enjoying a cup of tea (held with pinky finger out, of course) and a scone (pronounced so it rhymes with moan). In fact, I love tea generally. There’s something so soothing about a cup of tea, it makes the bad times ok […]

My birthday: 6 course wine paired lunch at Roots, Forum Homini

January 11, 2013 by • Food • Tags: • 1 Comment

I celebrated my 27th birthday on Sunday 30 December. I really thought that I’d know what I wanted to do with my life by now, but instead I’m more confused than ever! I recently tweeted that my 5 year plan changes everyday. Some days I want to be a stay at home mom, other days […]

The Hilton in Sandton launches its new alfresco Terrace

January 9, 2013 by • Food, Uncategorized • Tags: • 0 Comments

I popped by the Hilton the other day to check out their new look alfresco Terrace at Tradewinds restaurant. Previously, I wouldn’t have really considered the Hilton as a dinner or lunch option, but with the launch of this pretty garden terrace, that has now changed. When I used to work in Sandton, we were very limited […]

It’s only fitting that my last competition for the year is a foodie one! Today, I have 2 Casalotti vouchers to give away- valid for all their stores. Each voucher entitles you to 2 large pizzas and 2 drinks.If you haven’t heard of Casalotti’s, they’re similar to Col’Cacchio in terms of quality and to Andiccio 24 […]

Thava launches its 2nd restaurant in Midrand

December 7, 2012 by • Food • Tags: • 3 Comments

Last night, I was invited to the media launch of Thava restaurant in Midrand. I’ve been to the Norwood branch before (I had bought a Groupon for it) and I liked the food, but didn’t feel compelled to return. The food was good, not spectacular. Generally, I think our selection of indian restaurants in Jhb […]

Guilt Free Pizza with Col’Cacchio

December 3, 2012 by • Food • Tags: • 0 Comments

If you read my post about my weight loss struggle, you’ll know that I’m on a constant diet. I try to eat well wherever I can, but because I love being out and about, this becomes difficult. I feel like restaurants don’t really “get” healthy eating and even their salads are often smothered in fatty dressings. […]

The Griffin: food, beer and a view- what more could you want?

November 30, 2012 by • Food, Uncategorized • Tags: • 0 Comments

It seems that the whole concept of craft beer has taken over Jozi. Everyone I know loves Foundry Cafe (me included), but going to the same (albeit awesome) place week after week kinda gets old after a while.Luckily, there’s a new gastropub around. Remember the Attic in Parkhurst? This is the owner’s new brainchild. It is situated in the […]
