fishpaste

For breakfast we ate at Kauai at Virgin Active Gateway.

Caroline had the bread basket with anchovette.

While I had the Good Morning Wrap, which is scrambled eggs, cheese & chicken rashers.

For lunch I had the remainder of the chicken casserole.

For dinner we went to Cape Town Fish Market for sushi.

Here we have chilli prawn mayo in sweet beancurd wrappers.  Sticky fish, and prawn and avocado fashion sandwiches.

Next up we have a prawn tempura hand roll.

Seven spice calamari strips.

Seared tuna.  I like mine well done, not so much because I don’t like the taste or texture of raw tuna, but because I prefer the taste and texture of well cooked tuna.  I’ve heard people say that to cook tuna like this is sacrilegious and that if tuna is cooked like this then you might as well get it out of a can.  Well I think that’s a load of rubbish.  Even when tuna is cooked like this it is still fresh and tasty, but I do like canned tuna as well.

Caroline decided that she wanted another hand roll.  She got another prawn tempura, but this time opted for the cucumber wrapping rather than the nori.

Normally we get dessert and coffee at CTFM, but this time we decided to go upstairs to the food court and get some ice cream and coffee.  I didn’t take a photo of the ice cream, but here is the coffee from Gloria Jean’s.

Oh Meat You Are So Nice

Breakfast this morning was at the gym.  Caroline had the breadbasket with anchovette (fishpaste).

While I had the chicken melt.  Actually it doesn’t look that great in the photo, but it really is nice.  And after a week of no meat or dairy, chicken and cheese for breakfast was wonderful!

Lunch was back to being vegetarian, but only because that’s what leftovers we had.  It is the thai mixed veg with soba noodles from last night.

For dinner we visited The Gourmet Burger Company in Durban North.  What amazing burgers they make!  And especially apt for us to break our meat fast.  They have a special where you get one of their classic burger and a coke or beer for R45.  Considering that the burgers alone cost at least that much it’s a great deal.  We both had a classic cheese burger and added bacon.  It was bliss, but so filling.  We had a coffee afterwards but were unable to have a milkshake (something they’re renowned for), or a dessert.

The burgers come with a choice of salad or chips, as you can see we chose the chips.  If you order chips you also get a little bowl of mayonnaise.  I assume that this is for dipping the chips into, Dutch style.  I should have been born Dutch I think because I really like chips in mayo.

While we were sitting reading the menu, friends of ours Mr & Mrs PM arrived and sat at a table not far from us.  We had no idea that they were going to be there tonight, but when we realised that we were there together we joined our tables and chatted about our impending move to Australia, our imminent holiday to Namibia and life in general.  The PMs have just come back from a safari in Namibia and so they told us all about it.  It was a lovely evening!

Breaky at Kauai

in Breakfast

Breakfast this morning was at Kauai at the gym.

Caroline had the bread basket with Anchovette,

and I had the Chicken Melt.  The Chicken Melt is chicken pieces with mayo and spring onion and melted cheese in a wholewheat roll.  It was heavenly after being limited last week!  And look, chicken for breakfast!  That’s not so weird.

Breakfast: Toast with Fishpaste

by Craig on April 12, 2010 · 2 comments

Oh bread how we’ve missed you!

This morning breakfast was toast with Peck’s Anchovette fishpaste.  It’s probably not considered acceptable according to the diet, but we’re allowing ourselves this, and since tonight is sushi I guess that will have to be an exception too.  At least it was low-GI bread! :-)

I’ll spare you photos of toast!

After a spate of indulgent meals we just needed a break so opted for toast with anchovette, tea and an Alpro Soy Chocolate dessert.
