In case you don’t know, I am a mother. And as a mother, I celebrated my second mother’s day yesterday. My mother’s day started off with smoked salmon eggs benedict but that wasn’t what I wanted to talk about. We had long planned that this mother’s day would be spent with my mother-in-law because…

My first Meetup: Wine Connect
A friend of mine, suggested I download an app called ‘Meetup’. He only suggested this after I told him that I was interested in going to events, meeting new people, doing wine pairings and just socialising as a whole. So after I downloaded it, registered a profile and put in my interests, I found myself…
Autumn Restaurant Week 2016 Part 2
After my experience at A la Bouffé, I had completely lowered my expectations for this meal. To corroborate our experience this time, we invited my brother who could judge our experience and tell us if we were exaggerating or not. This time it was a 2 course meal at Prime Grill in Fourways. Like I…
A little squeezing goes a long way.
This morning, I was excited to join an old colleague at the restaurant: FOOOD. I pass this place all the time and never go in so this was the perfect time to check out the restaurant. This was a quick meeting where we only has time for one drink. I chose freshly squeezed orange juice…
Autumn Restaurant Week 2016 Part 1
The first of May was the end of Restaurant Week which I had the greatest pleasure of being a part of. By being a part of, I mean that I logged onto the site, made the reservations and eagerly waited for the dates to come. In the most relaxed moods ever, my first booking was…

Slaying The Beast Challenge
After weeks of reading great reviews on this restaurant, I finally took my fiancé to Beast in Weltevreden Park. Not only am I a lover of meat, I am a lover of great service which is what I expected from this restaurant. Greeted by a team of smiling waiters, my smile was way bigger because…
Unexpected Delight: A British tradition
The British got another thing right. I was reading an article on BBC about the unlikely origin or fish and chips and they dated back this Brit tradition back to 1863 when this amazing meal was being sold out of a hut in Lancashire. Since then, franchises have stolen this gem and transported its traditions…
Room service: Worth the wait?
Over the Easter weekend, my fiancé’s business partner invited us to Sun City to obviously soak in the last bit of Summer as we enter a chilly Autumn. Unfortunately, my child fell sick on day two and while my fiancé left for a game of golf, I had to stay within our 4 walls and…
Fine dining at the coal mine
A colleague and I traveled to Witbank or rather Emalahleni in Mpumalanga to visit our client at one of the prominent mines. I had no idea that mines had so many rules and that you could can kicked off if you were caught violating any of the rules. That was cool and scary at the…
