Case 39

Amelia and I have not had a big night in, in a while so we decided to make this a good one.

We opted for having a King Steer Burger and Chips as well as a Nandos Chicken burger and grilled veg each, this is definitely a winning combination.

On recommendation of one of Amelia’s colleagues we decided to take out Case 39.

The movie was quite hectic and definitely not what we had expected. Case 39 is not for the timid and it could leave you feeling a bit uncomfortable.

This is not a movie you should be watching before going to bed, as you’re bound to end up with some strange if not freakish dreams…

Pomodoro Save Face

The forgiving and understanding people that we are, Amelia and I decided to give Pomodoro’s in Wilderness another shot.

We got some fantastic and friendly service from the moment we walked in the door. The food did not take too long either.

We had Graham beck rail road red and it complemented the combination of Pizza, Pasta and Salad which we had chosen very nicely.

We finished off with some coffee which was also surprisingly enough not bad at all.

We were also very pleased to find that the chairs were clean, a pet hate of ours being restaurants with dirty chairs.

All in all a good experience.

The Wilderness Experience

Amelia and I decided to go to the market in Wilderness for a change, and what an experience did it turn out to be.

Well, we’re not particularly cash people, so we couldn’t really buy much, as no-one accepted cards for payment. We did however get to try some of the most interesting Garlic Mayonnaise.

We decided to take a stroll and look for something to eat at a place that would accept plastic.

We ended up walking into Pomodoro’s and were seated and given menus. After waiting quite some time not getting any service, we decided to leave. On the way out, we were thanked for coming, and we politely told them that we were leaving because we did not get any service. The manager was all to eager to sort us out and make us happy, but we continued out the door.

We then moved our way up the road and had a look at the Blue Olive, and what a good decision it was. The service was great and the food was good too. You get the feeling from the moment you walk in the door that it is an owner manager establishment. The only thing I would personally like to see is a proper uniform.

If you are going to own a restaurant and want to make it a success, the best way is to be personally involved, but then again, I guess that only works if you’re a restaurant person yourself.

Woolworths – good yet disappointing

Woolworths have seriously got some good coffee, but they are an utter disappointment, when it comes to operating hours.

Amelia and I decided to go and get some coffee from Woolworths Cafe at the Garden Route Mall, quite some time before closing, but the Cafe was already “Closed” pretty lame when the rest of Woolworths is still open.

Considering we were unable to tame our desire for a good cup of Woolworths Coffee Goodness, we decided to try and find some of our favourite Tiramisu. After searching the entire refrigerated section for the good stuff we gave up and decided to ask for help. We were disappointed to find out that Woolworths have discontinued the best pre-packaged Tiramisu that we have found thus far.

Such a lot of good and such a lot of disappointment all in one visit. Woolworths, please make us happy and extend your Cafe hours and bring back the Tiramisu.

De Vette Mossel

Amelia and I decided to treat ourselves to some bottomless seafood and headed down to De Vette Mossel for our Christmas Lunch.

As usual the food was great and the staff were funny. Knowing what to expect, we took our own cutlery which made the world of difference.

If you are in the garden route over the holiday season and you’re wondering what to do for supper, we’d recommend you give this seafood spot a try.

They are based on the beach, so wear shorts and slops. You get a complimentary glass of wine on entry but they don’t sell any other drinks so you’ll need to bring your own, just don’t forget your bottle opener.

You’re sure to go home full and ready for a good sleep.
