The Lounge on Kromboom

My everyday Dilemma would be that there is no place anywhere remotely near me that sells Sushi. Its seriously a pain. Especially when that craving hits you. It gets to me so badly that Id even consider opening my own sushi bar..But that would be Dom because id eventually just eat everything. Nomnomnom...Pahaha

The Lounge on Kromboom
Anyway Ive been to The Lounge quite a few times with My People but My person hasnt been so why not try it out now?

Indoor setup
The amazing thing about The Lounge is that it's family run and fully halaal. Score! As the name suggests, It a place where you can...well...Lounge around. A cool chill spot and great for get togethers. The menu caters for all food lovers and is heaven to me because they have SUSHI!!! OMG! Theres 3 different settings aswell. So go with your Family, go with your friends, Go with your person. You have the option of sitting inside, Outside on the Balcony and In the Smoking lounge.

Im having a problem rotating this and its pissing me off so im just going to leave it like this(Not by choice)
The Drink I had was The Lounges Berry Cooler which was actually really refreshing and My person had tea because apparently we are teadrinkers nowadays. Come to think of it... I Shoouldve tried the Masala Chai.

So for my meal (Stuffed already from the sushi...But I couldn't resist) I cannot recommend this dish enough. THE LOUNGE SPICE PASTA is the Pasta you have been looking for all your life. Its light, its creamy, its just the right amount of spicy(But obviously i still asked for extra chillies) and it just hits the right spots. Comfort food I tell you! You have the option of having it Penne, Fete chine or Spaghetti. I made the mistake of taking Fettuccine the other day and it was terrible to slurp it up. Ended up splashing it all over the person sitting next to me. Which was epically funny. (Note to self: do not order things you need to slurp on a first date! haha). So the Penne which is the one in the picture above would be your best bet. Also its my favourite...so psssh obviously its going to be your favourite aswell.

My person had the Steak wrap and chips which was apparently light yet filling. And it looks so cute too.

The Balcony set up

Almost every time I go I sit on the balcony area which is ideally near the Sushi Lounge and perfect for me as I get hot really quickly. Also see that little red throw on the chair in the last picture...Yeah you can request one if you feel a tad bit too chilly. Heavenly. And when it gets ridiculously cold, heaters get put on. Did I mention that there's free WiFi? Yaaaay!!!
Also there's a smoking lounge where you can purchase a Hookah and just chill. And they have a Cigar Menu! Say What! Definitely trying a cigar next time.

A party at Ocean Basket

It was Bhana's 20-sumthing birthday (Happy birthday Bhana!) and to celebrate we decided to head off to Ocean Basket as she was apparently Lus'ing for it since forever. Yeah the birthday boy/girl gets to choose where we go. On a normal day my opinion would usually get preference.(Because i'm awesome).

So we headed to Canal walk because we had a lot of other shopping to as well(I mean when does shopping really end anyway?) And had a really good time. Its one of the Ocean baskets where you always get great service. (Cavendish being my favorite).

I took a few(not so few) pictures and thought Id share them with you.





Something I really love about my family is we always take over. Wherever we go. We brought our presents, got a few balloons and literally made ourselves at home. Not that anyone minded infact as we publicly humiliated Bhana by singing happy birthday(loudly) 2 other tables merrily joined along.


Jewels made each of us a little holder for a Ferrero Just because shes such a creative soul. I personally thought it was such a cute idea. Each one got 1 but the birthday girl got 5. (Obviously I stole a few from her but Shhhh).
The platter for one
The Three way Calamari
The pick of the ocean
Did you know you have the option of adding Cajun spice to your food? For the spice lover. I had the spice added to my fish and it was gorgeous. Not too strong. Not too spicy.
The Saganaki
 The Saganaki is something we all love! Its not on the menu anymore but its still very much available. Basically it Calamari tubes stuffed with Feta cheese(hmmm) and then grilled so when you pop it into your mouth the cheese just Oooozes out all that yummy goodness. (I'm hungry now).

You can almost bet your house on the fact that whenever I go to a sushi serving restaurant im definitely going to order Prawn Or Salmon Fashion sandwiches. To be quite honest I feel like the Fashion sandwich sushi is the only good sushi you'll get at ocean basket as I haven't been impressed with the rest.



No birthday cake? No problem!
see our balloons!

My beautiful Bhana 
Wishing you many more years to come and so much love and happiness.

Also Thank you to Solomon (our waiter) for being so great.

Vibe: In my family make it whatever you want to.

8 things worth knowing about sushi

Being an Avid Sushi eater, This brings great embarrassment to what I and many people I know have been doing wrong. OK, I wasn't that bad,But did you know that the ginger isnt suppose to be eaten with the Sushi and is actually there to clean your palate so you are ready for the next piece?
I for one know I actually like my GingerSushi haha. Nevertheless I came across a site that helped. Alot.
