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.

The Informant

I can take a lot when it comes to bad movies, but this takes the cake.

We had to watch this more than three times before we managed to get all the way through, every time we fell asleep from boredom while waiting for something to happen.

I thought I had lost all respect for Matt Damon after “The Good Shepherd” but this was torture. What an absolute load of rubbish, Matt Damon was either broke, which I doubt, or was trying to prove a point that he can act in bad movies too.

The movie almost offers a hint of comedy. It teases you with the hint of a twist but then it’s a lame one. They had good intentions with the story line and good actors, but some how managed to miss the bus.

If you are considering suicide and looking for something to push you over the edge, this is for you.

Eastern Promises

I’m in such shock I simply don’t know what to say, I spent the duration of the movie waiting for it to begin.

The odd twist, was not nearly worth the wait and the movie ended before there was any action or excitement.

The movie had a lot of potential and had some good underlying story potential but did not seem to get off the ground.

If you are looking for a reason to drink excessive amounts of alcohol and fall asleep in an awkward position on the couch then get this movie, otherwise don’t waste your time or your money.

We were totally disappointed.

Roosters don’t have large chips

After Leaving Steers unsatisfied, Amelia and I decided to go and give Roosters a try, as Dereck told me that they have got a cool, burger deal as well.

We ordered one special and a large chips. The attendant then informed us that they didn’t have any large chips.

Seriously confused, I asked the attendant if they use different chips when you order a large, and the attendant said no.

I then asked if they had chips in stock, and was told that they had chips, but were unable to sell me a large chips as they did not have the correct bag for me.

Still not understanding their logic I asked if they could just put a large portion into a box or any other packaging just so that we could order.

We were told that they would not be able to help us.

In total shock, we ordered a medium chips and went to sit down.

The food didn’t take long, the chicken was quite good but the rolls must have been from the week before, maybe that is why they had the burgers on special.

The difference in price between a large and a medium was quite abit and if they are sending away every customer asking for a large with a medium, they must be losing out on some serious revenue.

I cannot believe that a restaurant will show away business when they have got the capacity to deliver, it will certainly never happen in any of my establishments.

The staff were friendly and polite, the food was not fantastic, their system and approach to business is very bad. I don’t think that we’ll be going back any time soon.
