New Sandwich Range From DFK

You know how some places keep on evolving and expanding as time goes on? This primarily stems from a personal desire to invest into and consider new avenues of deliciousness for one's customers. Because let's face it, we are all always looking for something new and it doesn't take a lot to take our attention away from a once-favorite food item we couldn't live without. Which is why when Dragonfly Kitchen introduced it's new range of sandwiched this past week, I was quite excited to try them. Knowing the desire to use fresh ingredients, play around with a range of flavors, along with keeping the prices easy on one's pocket, I wasn't surprised that I loved each and everyone of these sandwiches. 1. Chicken Sandwich with Avocado and Cilantro Twist Dressing: Number one on my list of favorites. The chicken is poached to succulent tenderness. The dressing is spread on the bread, giving it the creamy, herby, sour punch this sandwich needs to come together. The

Birthday Treats!

When you have the sweetest friends who make some of the best desserts in town, how can you not expect a sweet surprise? Yasha of The Poached Pear sent over this absolutely delicious lemon meringue pie yesterday evening which as you can tell, I didn't really wait to let cool and ate immediately. It was still so good!  The packaging has been upgraded, and the Australian lemons were a tad bit more sweeter than the South African ones but still so, so delicious. Had Yasha not told me, I wouldn't have been able to tell. I'm going to love spending the rest of the week polishing this off. *Bliss*

Obsessive Coffee Disorder

OCD is usually known as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a mental illness that can take over your life and deter you from doing the most normal daily activities. My addiction to coffee is such that I can't function without inhaling my first cup of coffee. Which obviously translates into Obsessive Coffee Disorder. Now imagine my delight when I found out a coffee shop of the same name was opening at Park Towers (And not at DMC, where it's almost impossible to get in most evenings). Is it any surprise I was on a mission to check this place out? Of course not. So off I went, with a good friend in tow (Helps that he's good friends with the owner) *cheeky grin* last evening to OCD. Tucked away near Jafferjies on the first floor, OCD is a quaint little place with a cheerful, welcoming interior that's boasting some of the most deliciously decadent desserts I have had recently. Being at OCD, I found it ironic that the food consumed was in reverse. We started off with a dessert

A Visit to the Pantry

A meeting with a friend that turned into our usual gossip session was at PANTRY earlier this week. Since it was too early for dinner, I risked (And paid) the cost of insomnia for a double shot espresso cappuccino. We also chose to gobble down some of our favorites, the sweet potato fries and the buffalo tenders, both of which were awesome, as usual. If you haven't had tried out these 2 things at PANT(R)Y (Sorry, I couldn't resist), you absolutely must! Both flavor profiles are pretty amazing in their own rights, with generous portions.
