Myog magic

Over the last few weeks Cape Town has been experiencing a serious fry your eggs on the pavement special kinda heat wave. What better way to cool down other then taking a dip in the body numbing Atlantic waters, or by satisfying your sweet tooth with some Froyo ? (frozen yoghurt for those not in the know ;-)

The latter being my personal favorite choice!

 I'd like to thank Myog frozen yoghurt for so generously rewarding my obsessive food tweeting by selecting me as fan of the month! What does F.O.M receive, you ask? Well lucky lil 'ol me received a Myog hamper which consisted of a really snazzy cooler bag, soda can holder, 2x badges, 2x refrigerator magnets and 2x discount vouchers.

I treated myself to 1x large yummy coconut & raspberry froyo sans toppings & cashed in one of my vouchers. So creamy and delicious, one easily could be mistaken for thinking this indulgent treat is grossly calorific. Not so! In fact Myog froyo is 98% FAT FREE! Yip you heard right...so go on to your nearest Myog and munch away, guilt-free!

What makes it so great? Besides the obvious, is that it's right on my doorstep; closes at midnight & during the week after 8pm you can UPSIZE for FREE! thats right. ..pay for Medium & get a Large! Not to mention the super friendly staff!

If your tastebuds have not had the pleasure of experiencing Myog Frozen Yoghurt yet, I strongly urge you to rectify the situation by promptly taking yourself to your nearest Myog.

The Best Address in The Cape

You simply cannot say that you have experienced The Best of the Mother City if you have not passed through the doors of this Grand old Dame.

This renowned Five star landmark in the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront was opened by none other than the late great Madiba himself back in 1998 and still remains a firm favourite with locals and celebrities alike.

With more than 260 food options on her breakfast menu alone; served from The Atlantic room with its breathtaking view of Table Mountain, it’s not hard to see why The Table Bay Hotel is known as The Best Address in The Cape.

If a breakfast buffet is too much for you, and you’re like me, the decadent daily afternoon high tea from 14h30 – 17h30 offered in the luxurious lounge will more than sate your sweet tooth! Patisserie Chef Bobby Kumar creates masterful works of art with sugar. Here you can also find halaal friendly and gluten free options.

But what I’m most excited about is the newest restaurant Camissa Brasserie, it’s not your typical stuffy leather clad European bistro with overpriced Parisian fare. 

This hidden little gem serves up lekka local South African flavours that will not break the bank. Affordable luxury at its best compliments of Chef James Franco & Chef Amari de Jager!

During the summer months there is currently a sundowners cocktail special at this restaurant from 5 – 8 pm every Friday eve in February & March 2015; where you can get 2 cocktails for the price of one whilst listening to the soothing sounds of classical pop duo Accoustic Element.

Why sit in traffic, if you’re a local yokel like me, when you can sip rush hour away in style!

If you’re not a foodie with a fine palate and would rather prefer some pampering, fear not for there is also a Camelot Spa on hand to massage away your stresses. It is open to the public so you don’t need to be a hotel guest to enjoy these treatments, although after a delicious meal and a relaxing back rub you might just find yourself checking in!

Reservations at Camissa Brasserie is reccommended and you can do so by contacting the hotel directly on 021 406 5000 or email: ilse.barnard@suninternational.com

The Dominos Effect

No, this isn't a post about what happens when you push over a stack of small black plastic squares with white dots on them.

But rather about what happens to your taste buds when you sink your teeth into the ooey gooey cheesy goodness of a deep pan pepperoni pizza from...you guessed it...Domino's Pizza!

Recently I have had the pleasure of experiencing this undeniable pizza party in my mouth!

That's right, the famous American Pizza brand has landed on our sunny shores at long last, bringing with them everything from the friendly, welcoming, super fast customer service to their delicious mouth-watering pizza itself!

Even the pizza box and napkins look so inviting with their bold retro graphics. I could just lick the box!

Plus! Did I mention the FREE delivery in 30 minutes? How's that for service?

Do yourself a flavour and get down to Domino's Pizza in Tableview Cape Town and try it out for yourself.

Trust me it'll leave your taste buds wanting more...

Buon Appetito!
