A spluring slew of suggestions for investigations.

15 Sep

These are mostly cribbed from issues of Cape Etc. (which, by the way, is a nice read, if a big lifestyle-y).
[These places are mostly unknown to me, except for I've Been Here tagged ones.

  • Comida, Hout Bay. Nice raised deck thing and Mediterranean type food. Will be very naas in summer. IBH.
  • Myoga, Claremont. By the Ginja guy. Mmm... [Suggested by Carlo. Who are you, Carlo? :) ]
  • Aubergine, Gardens. It’s a classic.
    Apparently.
    I’m foreign, so I don’t know.
  • Geisha Wok and Noodle Bar, Mouille Point. Could be good for this “cooked” Japanese food I keep hearing about. ;-)
  • Wakame, Mouille Point. Asian fusion stylings.
  • 95 Keerom, Gardens. Posh Italian nosh.
  • A Touch Of Madness, Observatory. I know, I know, we’re trying for new places. But… it’s ATOM, ennit, eh? Maybe for one of Eck’s steak rounds? IBH
  • Benkei, Greenpoint (dining-out.co.za page). More hot action: Teppanyaki goodness, anyone?
  • Beluga, Green Point (restaurants.co.za page). Might be a bit too *cough* trendy?
  • Obento, Claremont. Fun, cook your own Korean BBQ stylings. [suggested by Akichan] IBH
  • Manolo, Gardens. Almost opposite a well-known South East Asian cool stuff shop…
  • Salt at Ambassador hotel, Bantry Bay. Ace settings, apparently.

Phew, that’s all for now.

    Dammit, now I’ve spent the last hour reading menus and am consequently starved.

    Myoga, not for a while. Too similar to Ginja, which is not a bad thing, only not immediately. Definitely Comida in summer, they do duck :>. Touch of Madness fails the apostrophe test. Salt, Aubergine and 95 Keerom look great, but may be a bit too nouvelle too soon. I’d be keen to try Benkei, I liked their menu. Or the other Japanese places, actually.

    Damn, I may need to go and get a chocolate bar.

    Yeah, the nouvelle ones are definitely a “later” bunch.

    Actually, I’m kind of keen to do something a bit skanky, but with a dash of charm and fookin’ ace food.
    Like Jewel Tavern. :-)

    I could go for skank ;>. Benkei looks as though it might fit into that mould. I’m also up for something with Enormous Plates Of Food, as opposed to Restrained Taste Sensations. Possibly it’s the weather.

    This would all be a lot more useful if I thought my Evil Landlord was reading it, since it’s his choice next…

    Enormous sounds good.
    I could do enormous.
    Or gigantic.
    Or mahoosive.
