Fish on the rocks

Im not sure about you but apart from being a SushiManiac I have a great love for seafood too. So on one of my fridays Before we headed off for that Beautiful Chapmans Peak drive My Person drove all the way to Hout Bay for Fish and Chips. Because thats apparently being sweet. (It actually was... I like long drives).
So if you head off to the far end of the Harbour you'll see a little restaurant called Fish on the rocks. At first I was mad because I wanted Sushi(Obviously) but I was willing to be open to doing things he wanted to do. And I wasn't disappointed.

The menu is limited in my opinion but the food is good stuff. Both our meals was under R150 and the portion sizes were Good. Well it was enough to satisfy my hunger.

Thank you Zomato for the menu

The Hake and Chips

Sorry I dont have an Upclose picture of my food so you'll just have to look at me. MEH! Haha. I had the Calamari and chips and as you can see...A lot of food. Although I should've bought a roll. Also they have a little condiments section where you choose your sauces.

I loved that everything was so clean. And the fact that so many people were there was reassuring. Even the Toilet made me chuckle as I went to go wash my hands. And was surprisingly clean as well. I'm sorry....I just have a habit of checking out restrooms wherever I go.





I think the highlight of my experiance at Fish on the rocks was literally in the backyard of the restaurant. You get a great view of an amazing scenery and you see seals! I know its not really that much of a great thing...But it was awesome for me as I got close enough to one to have a decent conversation with him. And it was a moment. For both of us. I so badly wanted to touch him but refrained incase he wasnt the Touchy feely kind of seal and retaliated but it was memorable none the less.
I probably should have taken a picture of this amazing view im bragging about but I figured you going to check it out yourself and see what the hell im talking about. Perfect for a date out with your person. Also like I said, be sure to check out Chapmans Peak Drive (Which can be seen here) while you are that side of town.

Keen on trying or have been there already? Holla at me.

Breakfast at the Blue train

Being in town at insane hours of the morning its hard to actually find a place open that serves breakfast that suits me. Most eating places open at 11am or thereabout. Im not sure if you remember my last post about The Blue train (Which can be read here) where I said I'd give them a second chance?
Well I did. And it was heavenly to say the least.

So my Bud and I headed off because he's really serious when it comes to place having a halaal certificate (like we all should be...but I guess im more open. DONT JUDGE ME!).I was skeptical to go back but oh well. I had nothing to lose.

I still maintain that the space is waaay too cramped for claustrophobic people but since we were there so early we shared the place with 2 other patrons.
The breakfast menu is vast. I think it took us about 10 miuntes to decide what it is we wanted and even when we said we where ready to order...We werent really. Im indecisive. Deal with it!

I opted for the Farmer's Omelette which was made up of 3 eggs, mushrooms, macon, onions, cheddar cheese, tomato and your choice of bread for toast. (Insanely big slices of toast might I add.. I loved that the eggs were so light and fluffy. And the textures really complimented each other well. Also having the cheese ooze out everytime you cut into it saw my happy face. And it was super filling aswell.
And it cost me R55. Well worth it.

 My bud decided to go for the Boss's Breakfast -Like a boss. It included 2 (Big) slices of toast topped with cream cheese, salmon, tomato, onion, Avocado(hmmm my favourite) and chilli. It was rather weird though as he doesn't eat anything raw(sushi hater but hasn't even tried sushi) so I didnt think he'd enjoy it but he did. It was what a breakfast should be. Light and wholesome.

 And Masala Chai is great with any drink in my opinion. (Picture taken from the Glam Locket coz mine got corrupted. Sikes!)

Im keen on trying the Spinacha nd Feta next.

 The great thing was they are open at 8am everyday and its not too busy so you can stick around for a while. Have a cuppa coffee or two and complain about things or rush to get an assignmnet done (story of my life!).
I'd recommend it- The breakfast part.
 Try it and Holla at me.

Spur

Spur is our usual place to have get togethers. Whether it be birthdays, celebrations or my parents taking me out to have "A TALK" its somewhere you can go and you have assurance it wont be disappointing. So how rude would it not be if I didn't put Spur on my blog.

Now while I still maintain that The Spur in Claremont is the best I would have to say that Ottery is in the same rank as well (But only because of Yusuf)Hint hint...
There aren't many halal Spurs though. Its Vangate, Claremont, Ottery, and Observatory. (Please correct me if I have forgotten one).

So here goes:

The Nachos I could compare to LaPlaya at the VnA. Its actually really hard choosing between the two as both are equally delish!

Because Garlic Rolls And buffalo wings are part of starters. Duh!

The Cheddar melt steak

Im going to be brutally honest and say I dont remember what this was. But im 50% sure it was The Spur Burger.

Ok so when I walk into Spur I have a usual order. Seriously its so solid people order for me without even asking me. A Surf and turf (Well done) and a Coffee shake...Although I have been cutting down on the shakes lately. So here comes the fun part. Did you know you could change your meal for a healthier alternative? No? me neither!

Why not swop your fries for a salad? I Swear its really good! But it gets better...

Why not swop your Fries and Onion rings for a hearty portion of vegetables (Thats actually not bad at all)!
So many options...Nooooo!

And Dont forget to take your kids to the play pen and get your face painted. (Yes you can because I said so!)
And also before I forget...Spur's Malva pudding is out of this world!!!

Let me know what's your favourite and what you would suggest so I know what Im missing.

A party at Jimmy's Killer Prawns

It was my darling cousin Zubairs's 21st birthday on tuesday and being in the last 10 days of Ramadan we figured we would still celebrate but notch the scale down abit. We ended up doing everything but that.

We sat long and hard thinking of an appropriate venue and Jimmys was decided. For Bhana's 21st we went to Jimmys aswell and it was really a horrible experiance. Since then they have been under new management. We were however skeptical as to having a function there again.

So we booked a reservation for 20 people (as the originals decided it should only be the hybrids that attended so they didnt "spoil"our fun) so everything was organized by us. The little ones. A few days before the time Bhana was still being a stressball and kept making lists just to make certain she covered everything.

As we sorted out presents weeks before the time, Jewels and I arrived at Canal Walk at 4 to get everything sorted and set up.(Yes set up, because we awesome like that)

So our Party at Jimmys:

We reserved a table which was right by the Buffet and that walked onto the Patio which is so gorgeous and also made it secluded and made a party somewhat more private. Management aswell as staff was really fantastic as they just gave us free reign and we did as we please. Also in addition, the manager organised an extra table for us to set up the gifts and that Fabulous cake.

Jewels made these ties herself with 2 serviettes OMG im So proud of her creativity

We ordered about 12 Helium ballons at the party shop next to La rocca and I had a few people wishing me as Happy birthday as I walked with. Haha So fun!

Our waiter, Cloudio seriously gave us the best service ever. For starters the had soup and each person gets a starter plate of 6 prawns. Savouries were put on the table (But im not sure if this only happens in Ramadan) and dates were provided. The Buffet costs R99 per person and the menu is apparently different each week but you do hve the option of ordering from the set menu in store.

The starter prawns

We didnt know that savouries was going to be given so we brought our own. Typical

For dessert we had a Peppermint fridgetart, A pineapple and cream set and a Fruit&Yogurt tart (Which was includedin the buffet just btw)

That Lindt Milkshake

How amazing doesnt this cake look!!! Thank you to Oupa's sister

Big ups to this main man Cloudio_ somebody please give this guy a Bells

Okay so before I end off there was something that bothered me though, Like by the name you would assume that the prawns would be out of this world, but there was nothing killer about them.But other then that no complains about the food as it was so delish!

Jimmy's is located in the corner of the food court at Canal Walk which is rather hidden (Next to Mcdonalds). I definitely cant wait to go back. (Just thinking of those ribs is making me hungry)
What an amazing evening with amazing people.
