So, what is your Nandos sauce?





Everyone must have a personal preference when it comes to Nandos sauce, unless you are one of the few who does not like Nandos or grilled chicken. Too bad for you, because grilled chicken with Nandos sauce is very delicious!

I actually eat Nandos relatively often compare to other take away places because they have a good deal family meal and it is more healthy than KFC & McDonald. My Nandos sauce was the mediterranean sauce, but it is no longer available so I now go for mild. I have also tried tangy tomato, it is not bad but does not have the spicy touch so if you are not chili friendly, tangy tomato is a great choice.

Still remember the first time I ordered Nandos, little did I know, I was so foolish. I thought I could handle the peri peri sauce?! I was in grade 10 that year and was out with a bunch of older guy friends lol, I made a fool of myself because I was almost in tears trying to finish that chicken. Oh memories.

The photos were taken at Nandos Milnerton on Koeberg Road.

Buffet Breakfast @ Table Bay Hotel






Oysters for breakfast?!


My salad after having numerous plates 

What is the most exciting thing about staying in a 5 star hotel? If you ask me, it would be the breakfast buffet for sure! The boy happened to won a one night stay at the Table Bay hotel by V&A Waterfront so we packed our bags quickly and enjoyed a night of luxury.

The breakfast buffet was set up beautifully with numerous choices. You can get your hands on some delicious pastries, salad, fruit, cereal, bacon, meat sausages and many traditional English breakfast options. Also, you can have sushi, miso soup and enjoy freshly made waffle at the waffle bar. There is also a small section for sugar free options.

I was seriously overwhelmed by the choices, I wanted to try as many things as possible! At the same time, I need to calculate the space in my belly carefully not to have any regrets. The plan was have a big brunch so I can skip lunch.

The story ended up not too badly, I only regret about the small portion of noodles that tasted like noodle mixed with sweet chili sauce alone with no other seasoning. The rest of the food was very enjoyable, I ended my meal with a croissant and chocolate spread.

Loved the experience even though I am not sure if I have to pay for it, would I enjoy it as much? It is a 9/10 from me.

Sheng Feng @ Parklands


COLD SPICY PIG STOMACH

PORK CHOW MEIN - CRISPY BASE

IN CANTONESE - YAU JAR GWAI (FRIED BREAD STICK)

BAO - CUSTARD BUN

NOT A TYPICAL CHINESE RESTAURANT IN SOUTH AFRICA

THIS LIKE RESTAURANT IS QUITE FAMOUS AMOUNT THE CHINESE COMMUNITY, AS IT OFFER THE SOUTHERN CHINA CUISINE, E.G. DIM SUM

AS A CHINESE FROM HONG KONG, THERE IS NO COMPARISON.
HOWEVER WHEN YOU ARE AWAY FOR SOMETIME ALREADY, ANYTHING SIMILAR TO HOME WILL PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE.

ALL THEIR DIM SUMS ARE HOMEMADE!
WHICH TASTED QUITE RIGHT TO ME.

YAU JAR GWAI (FRIED BREAD STICK)  IS SOME BREAD DOUGH DEEP FRIED. VERY NICE TO GO WITH CONGEE . IF THEY WRAP CHEUNG FAN AROUND IT, THEN IT BECOMES JAR LEUNG. VERY YUMMY TOPPED WITH SWEET SOY SAUCE.

AND WHAT WOULD BLOW YOUR MIND IS THE PORK CHOW MEIN WITH CRISPY NOODLE BASE! STUNNING! WHERE THE SAUCE MEET THE NOODLES SOFTEN IT A BIT.
MAKING A GREAT CONTRAST IN YOUR MOUTH!

MUST TRY: SIU MAI, CUSTARD BUN, STEAMED RIBS, PORK CHOW MEIN CRISPY BASE.

SWONAL INDEX: 7.0/10.0 ONE OF THE RESTAURANT WITH THE CLOSEST CANTONESE TASTE. WITH PROPER DIM SUM
