COCONUT CRUMBED PRAWNS

300g R79.99

Simphiwe: No seasoning on the actual prawn. All it tastes like is coconut. The appearance is invitingbu­t the taste disappoint­s.

Tasneem: The coconut is overpoweri­ng and it needs more seasoning to advance the flavour.

Kabelo: The prawns look pretty but the taste is not that appealing. It has a lot of coconut that hides the flavour of the prawn.

READY TO BRAAI

BBQ RIBS

750g R99.99

Nomvula: Perfect seasoning, meat falls off the bone. Juicy. Mashimbyi: The ribs have a very nice taste. I would have them over and over again. Dintle: Well balanced flavours. Not too fatty with a pleasant sweet taste. Tender.

GOURMADE BEEF PIE WITH CARAMELISE­D ONIONS

580g R79.99

Lerato: The pie is bland and the onion smell overpoweri­ng. It is chewy and the pastry is too thick. Thabana: The pastry tastes like biscuits. It needs a bit of salt and the meat is chewy. Nangamso: The pastry is good though this is not a pie pastry. The filling needs salt and spices. Meat has a bitter taste.

GREEK BAKLAVA

300g R54.99

Nokwazi: I taste the cinnamon, there’s lots of sweet syrup and the pastry is nice and crunchy.

Kabelo: Very eye catching, a bit hard to chew with a sweet but sharp cinnamon taste.

Dintle: There’s a smell of cinnamon, the pastry is nice and crunchy and I can taste all the flavours. Very sweet with nice shiny look.

THE MENU CHOCOLATE & CARAMEL DESSERT MADE WITH BAR ONE 450g R69.99

Itumeleng: The flavours are well balanced but the cocoa is a bit too much and tastes raw. Sugar is well balanced. Dintle: Tastes amazing, the chocolate and cocoa are well balanced and the sponge is tender though very rich. Simphiwe: Has that chocolate taste, the base brings the mousse together. A bit too sweet but in an amazing way.
