Starlings Cafe – Birds of a feather… feast together

September 30, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 5 Comments

I have been wanting to write a review about Starlings Cafe since the first time I visited there a few years ago. A friend of mine introduced me to this little nook on Belvedere road. The reason for me writing a review now is purely because we have a blog and I would like to … [Read more…]

Absolute indulgence at the One&Only Spa

September 22, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 6 Comments

In this busy business of life, I feel it is essential to take some time out and just spoil yourself every now and then. I had just finished with my one job and had a week off before throwing myself into a new job. With this one week of unemployment I thought it would be … [Read more…]

The Banting Kitchen – “When did FAT become PHAT?”

September 18, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 5 Comments

A very hot word right now is “Banting , Banting , Banting!”. I must admit, the first time I heard about this diet was one Sunday evening watching Carte Blanche. I happened to watch Professor Tim Noakes explaining his low carb high fat (LCHF) way of eating. He termed the diet “banting” as a result … [Read more…]

High Tea at Casa Labia, Muizenberg

September 15, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 3 Comments

At about the age of 11, I decided that birthday parties were too stressful. Back then I thought it was too hard to balance your cousins from both sides, school friends and home friends – boy, if only I knew how much more complicated life could get. Fastforward to the present – I was about … [Read more…]

Daytrip to Caledon Spa: Hot springs & chocolate with a hint of torture

September 10, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 6 Comments

My buddy once invited my then boyfriend (now hubby) and I to celebrate his birthday with him at Caledon Hotel and Casino. Back in my broker days (2010 was rough y’all) we road tripped out to Caledon and had an awesome day in the hot pools. It was the middle of the week which was … [Read more…]

“The Proof is in the truffle!”- (Truffle Restaurant, Cape Town)- Closed Down

September 5, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 8 Comments

Please note that Truffle is now closed down. Finding upmarket halaal restaurants in Cape Town can be quite a challenge. Sure, we have our fair share of halaal-friendly spots but generally, you have to concede that either the restaurant is not going to be particularly fancy (hence many-a-birthdays have been spent at Spur), or that … [Read more…]

Living it up in Hvar, Croatia

September 3, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 5 Comments

Pronounced “Hvor” – This little place in Croatia is trending as the latest and most exciting “party” island to be. Being 4 girls on a Eurotrip and not having much to spend, we decided that this would be the ideal place to let loose and have some affordable fun. We flew from Marjorca to Croatia. … [Read more…]
