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.

#RIPTrolley

This post is seriously delayed but if you like me travel on DeWaal drive almost every day you would have seen the little tombstones with RIPTrolley written on it. Obviously it got my buzzing mind on a tizz and I felt the need to investigate what the hell was going on.

Apparently Takealot.com is responsible and the aim behind it is to emphasis that trolleys wont be needed anymore as everything you need can be bought online. Im all for new innovative marketing strategies but I would stand my ground that it is indeed distasteful that the tombstones mock so many roadside accidents. You be the judge.

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

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.

Where the Magic Happens

Because Why would I not order Fashion Sandwiches???

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.
