If you’re expecting for the first time, there’s a couple of things you can be sure to hear: “Enjoy your sleep while you can” (It’s already not that enjoyable, thanks) “Go out as much as possible while you still can” (Ja, ‘cos money grows on trees, hey) “Make sure you go all natural for birth/breast … [Read more…]
It’s no secret that I LOVE Mugg and Bean. I’ve had so many easy cappuccinos in my life, I’m sure my financial contribution has helped to open more than a few branches. When I received an invite from Hungry for Halaal to check out Mugg & Bean’s new summer menu at their fully halaal Kenilworth Centre branch, … [Read more…]
Another year, another work function. I really look forward to our annual work functions. I get the opportunity to visit unfamiliar places in my own city and get to know new things about my familiar colleagues. The previous year our year end function took place at the chilled Lagoon Beach Hotel and the year before … [Read more…]

Upon entering the little cafe, my eyes were overwhelmed with all the “stuff” I saw. I say “stuff” because … [Read more…]
My love affair with Mexican food I love Mexican cuisine. Love, love, love it. It’s carbs, cheese and avocados. What’s not to love? Before my New Year resolution (to eat healthy!) really kicked in, I headed off to my favourite Mexican restaurant in Cape Town – Pancho’s in Observatory, to eat enough carbs so that just … [Read more…]
I was lucky enough to be on a long enough vacay that I actually started to feel bored! Bored? Yes, bored. How wonderful isn’t that? On a long, leisurely day, hunger struck viciously. Boredom and laziness go hand in hand so off we went to find a nice early dinner. I was so tired of eating … [Read more…]
Sometimes I get the feeling that I’m the last to know things. Given that I blog about said things it’s not a great trait – but at least I have friends who bring me up to speed every now and then (thanks Reyaaz!). So, I was invited to the not-so-recently opened Batavia Cafe – a cute … [Read more…]
Earlier this year I saw a Daddy’s Deal for Addis in Cape. This place has been around for a long time but I wasn’t aware that they were halaal-friendly. The clear advertising and the seemingly good deal had me busting out the cheque card faster than my brain could comprehend. Seriously, 7 dishes for two … [Read more…]
