This post is more of a feature because I want to share the wonderful world of K!ff Posters to you.

Finding a “the best of” restaurant is not exactly the easiest task, especially if it’s a more “generic” menu item like steak, ribs, schnitzels etc – everyone has their own opinion and most restaurants offer those meals. Now, Margaritas is a steak and seafood house where I’ve been eating, with my family, for almost 10 years now. Margarita’s was my very first experience of western fine dining and has been [...]

On Saturday, a new market had started in Woodstock, Cape Town. The Palms Market is a bimonthly market bringing us the freshest of foods from the Platteland. I received an email from Social Plus One, inviting me to the market’s opening, and of course, I’m always keen to check out a local market.

Being in Bloemfontein is the ideal spot to find really good biltong, and I mean REALLY good. Around every little corner, in almost every store, you’re bound to find a wide selection of biltong in either local butcheries, delis, convenient stores or small shops. My absolute favourite biltong is created in a butchery behind Emily Hobhouse Square called “Mike’s Butchery”, or in Afrikaans “Mike’s Slaghuis”. Mike’s Butchery is owned by [...]

For my short visit back, my mama, Jasmine and I made a mission to the [...]
