Foodie Post: Bread at The Bromwell

Continuing on my promise to post things more regularly on my blog.

I give thee another post about food.

Yes, I eat a lot.

This time I went to one of my stockists, The Bromwell Boutique Mall,

250 Albert Road, Woodstock,

Cape Town

and had lunch with the girls (my dearest Davida and Hestia)

at their restaurant: Bread.

I suggest checking this place out and

then you can go upstairs and buy some of my jewellery *cough cough*

2 words: oh wow.

I've never really had the chance to just relax and take the place in.

Try their orange juice btw...

I think I won't have a cold for months now.

As for lunch...

You need to see the sandwich menu.

Oh wow...

The girls had pork belly ribs.

I had the bacon and Brie,

"Crispy bacon with creamy Brie cheese with fresh mixed

leaves, cranberries and our famous potato chunks"

I'm a sucker for Bacon and this thing is worth it just for the side salad!

Rocket galore.

Anyway I'm done rambling and singing their praises...

Here is a gratuitous shot of my sandwich (which I did not Instagram for a change!)

Baking News: Red Velvet Brownies

Seeing as baking is turning into my latest hobby...

Need something to do besides make jewellery (blasphemy I know)

I tried this little experiment:  Red Velvet Brownies.

 Making them is pretty darn easy, only took 10 mins to make the batter.

 Getting the swirl isn't that easy though...

I'll just have to make more until I perfect it (see what I did there?)

But the final product is damn tasty!

Foodie | Beach Bistro |

Some time ago I stumbled upon Beach Bistro at Eden on The Bay

 So last night I stumbled that way again :)

Some really strong cocktails (I had a Hibiscus Mojito)

and awesome burgers...

My burger.  The Big Cheese. 

Beef Patty. Bacon, Cheddar, Blue Cheese and Feta

While I was there I found out they're under new management.

It's still as awesome as I remember it.

Dayum!!! Nom Nom

Foodie | Maestro's on the Beach |

So Andrea dragged me to dinner again.

This time we tried Maestro's at the Beach

on Woodbridge Island in Milnerton.

Awesome view of the ocean.

 

I tried the Jessica Simpson Sirloin Steak

 Peppadew, Camambert, Bacon and Avocado... 

Nom Nom Nom...

 Andrea had the Angelina Pizza.

Bacon, Caramalised Onions, Peppadew, blue cheese, rocket and Avocado.

and people... Creme Brule...

I am a snob when it comes to this dessert.

I approved.

Foodie Alert: Cheese Cake

Keeping with my foodie blogposts...

and the fact that I didn't go to a cool place for lunch or something the weekend...

I do want to post this:

A cheesecake I baked for my best friends baby shower.

The item in question:

a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheese Cake

 The crust is completely made from chocolate biscuits.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough balls are folded into the batter.

 Baked in it's delicious glory.

 Unfortunately if you mix a cheesecake too hard, it will crack on top when baked.

And this is a side view of the cake.... 

nom nom....

and just for bragging rights,

here is a picture of me with my beautiful niece.

If you want the recipe, email me, I might consider it.

It's a bit too long to write on a blog post. :)

Eating at Gourmet Boerie

I eat out way too much these days... So I thought... 

let's add a foodie segment to the blog.So Saturday, 

I dropped in with my Lovely Assistant Andrea to my favourite spot in Kloof Street.Gourmet Boerie. 

We decided to share the slider platter, 

since she had never tried the place before. 

And just for the record, I would rather have the sliders to myself than to share.

Only realised I needed to take a photo after 3 sliders... oops....

My favourite by far is the Pure Sophistication, but the Mexican is Drawing my attention.

See the menu here.

 Check these awesome shoestring chips and the sweet potatoe fries...

 I had mine with a Devils Peak Draft.

And this rad dessert platter.... The Vanilla Ice Cream...

and I'm a Milktart (Melktert) connosuer....

I approve...

Joe's Easy Diner

Doing the Christmas rush and needing to get to a mall.

We (my dearest Davida and I) grabbed a bite to eat in Canal Walk

We tried something new, Joe's Easy Diner.

Do yourself a favour and go.

It's like an old school 50's diner.

The food is worth the buck and pretty tasty!

 Awesome decor right?

 Check these milkshakes!  Pretty big, couldn't finish them!

And I had chilli cheese fries!!! 

Foodgasm!!

The Beach Bistro @ Eden on the Bay

Seeing as I'm turning into a foodie...

I thought I'd blog this lovely new find.

 The Beach Bistro at Eden on the Bay, opened today...

My dearest friend Andrea and I walked past by chance....

 

And the awesome decor and look lured us in.

 How great is it?

They play really awesome lounge music

and the vibe is just great. 

Not to mention the adorable bartenders :P

 

 

 We were looking for breakfast, but just missed it

Breakfast is until 11:00 and there after the kitchen is closed until 12:00

until the lunch menu starts.

They have awesome coffee (which is important for me) 

and Andrea was very impressed with the  way they serve water,

in a flute glass with ice and lemon.  Fancy!

We decided to try out their sandwiches:

 I had the Meat Eater: Steak, Haloumi Cheese, Rocket and Onion with sweet chilli Sauce.

and Andrea had the Chicken sandwich: Chicken, Mozerella, Cherry tamatoes and rocket.

They're prices aren't bad, mid range, but the food is so worth it!

I think I've found my new Sunday brunch spot!!
