Looking forward to Woolworths Nicolway food market opening

This week I'm excited to see what has been punted as the biggest Woolworths food market to open to date. Woolworths Nicolway food market is opening at Nicolway centre in Bryanston. Although I only got the invitation this afternoon for an opening Thursday morning, I am excited nonetheless. Another draw card is that the opening will feature the current Masterchef SA contestants in action.

As a Woolworths frequenter I am interested to see what Nicolway comes up with especially given the stiff competition down the road at the Pick 'n Pay concept store on Nicol. In line with the Pick 'n Pay on Nicol the Woolworths Nicolway food market is set to be open 08:00 - 20:00 daily.

William Nicol is fast becoming a foodie/ Eat In/ late evening grocery store hub or should I say corridor. Here's to expecting more from Woolworths Nicolway!

Tashas' coujons

Had an impromptu dinner with a couple of my girlfriends last night, due to its central location, quality of service and menu variety we ended up at Tashas Melrose Arch. Have I told you that Tashas is my favourite all day eatery? I can order with my eyes closed, and sometimes they surprise me with new additions to the menu.

Last night I opted for something fried, the panko coujons with chips and lemon mayo. The coujons were crispy on the outside with soft perfectly cooked hake on the inside. The lemon mayo was balanced being creamy yet not overly rich. The chips are lovely just golden French fries, almost McDonald’s standard but alas they are not pre-salted.

Overall Tashas food is good, and it remains my favourite all day eatery because the high quality is standard across 90% of the ones I've frequented. The coujons were a larger portion than I expected, it also happened that two of us had ordered it. Next time we'll share and order an extra side of fries and lemon mayo. Oh did I forget to mention I took a slice of Carrot Cake as a take away.


Happy impromptu eating!

On the bookshelf: A week in The Kitchen

I'm loving the store display at Exclusive Books in The Zone Rosebank this week, it's gone all foodie.

It was there that I picked up Karen Dudley's A week in The Kitchen.The book gives the reader a look into, as titled, a week at the Kitchen. The Kitchen being a Eatery in Woodstock Cape Town.

From a quick flip through the pages it looks like it's filled with wonderful recipes, but will let you know for sure once I've read, tried and tested.

Happy Reading!
