Thai World Review
I was looking for a homely, family, Mom ‘n’ Pop sort of place, and Thai World did not disappoint. (There’s a whole thing about how my choosing was a trauma-laden-ridden-filled thingy, but that’s another story) The inside is quite charming. You quite clearly get the feeling of English husband and Thai wife: he runs the [...]

It’s one [...]
Xiang Yuan Review
Most of my ongoing missions in life involve food. This pleases me. One of them is to find good Dim Sum places in Cape Town. My current winner is U-Seng in Table View (which is another story in itself), but Xiang Yuan provides a good local alternative. The decor inside is that classic “basic but [...]
