 Good Day,

It's a wonderful day today in Cape Town and I'm thankful for that. Many of us are celebrating Easter tomorrow. It's the day when Jesus have risen from the dead. Do you believe in Jesus? I do, but my journey with Jesus have only really started about 10 years ago.

Panarotti's | Sensational sub

03:24:00 0 Comments
Hello Everyone! 

Some while ago I have decided to treat myself at Panarotti's at Kenilworth Center.  KC have changed tremendously recently and the food court have also changed by making space for more  restaurants. It was also my first time eating out at Panarotti's. 

I had a look at the menu and I was rather intrigued by it! You must really take a look at their wide selections of Desserts and Gourmet Shakes! 

Panarotti's | Banana Milkshake

Regular Banana Milkshake → R 29.90 

You have the option to choose from the following flavours: Chocolate, Strawberry, Lime, Bubblegum or Banana.  Regular or Double Thick Malts. 

I was really looking forward to this Milkshake, but once it arrived at my table I was disappointed. It didn't even looked like a Banana Milkshake at all, just the tiny yellow syrup that I could spot at the top could I noticed it must be it. 

Silently I thought to myself, well at least it something cold and I do enjoy Dairy products so give it a go.  I hardly could taste any Banana flavouring in it. Was rather disappointing to me, maybe I should consider the Double Thick Malts next time!? 

Panarotti's | Seasoning

I gave the waitress my order and she arrived with my cutlery and with some seasoning. I could smell the garlic in an instant and know that would compliment my Carnivore Sub. 

Panarotti's | Carnivore sub
  
"20 cm of pure deliciousness! 
Perfect as a starter..."

Carnivore Sub → R61.90 

I was so looking forward to this dish that was placed in-front of me - Oh My goodness! The Carnivore have a filling that consist of Ham, Salami, Chorizo sausage, Italian tomato sauce and Italian Mozzarella Cheese. 

Panarotti's | Sensational sub | inside view

The moment I took my first bite I was sold. My mouth are drooling now by just looking at this. It does have a slight burning sensation, (it's Halaal) but that why you choose a Milkshake to compliment your meal and that would ease the burning feeling that you experience during the meal.

The meat are prepared to perfection with the melting cheese. I would compliment the Chef on this Carnivore sub. Just look at the photo that I've taken - it really packed - real value for your money spend! 

Rating scores: 1 / Poor | 2 Good | 3 Excellent

Service: 1 
Was rather disappointing to me that it's stated that they open at 09:00 and they only opened their doors on 09:15 on the day I have decided to grab a bite to eat. No apology was given to us when we walked in. 

Secondly I have also asked the waiter to please bring me the loyalty program that they over. She have registered my card for me, but didn't gave me my password to log into the system to check. So I had to go via Customer Service to send me a link so that I could generate a new password. Once that was sorted out I have noticed that my card was scanned correctly for the value of my bill. Had to go through another lot of conversations to get this correct. 

I couldn't understand why their was such a mixed up with scanning my card, since the restaurant was rather still quite that early in the day. At least she was friendly and I think maybe to enthusiastic that could have cause this.  

Food: 2 
The only fault that I could find was with the Milkshake that was disappointing to me. The sub was served still warm and was delicious. Would recommend this this to anyone that are a lover of meat. 

Atmosphere: 3 
Prefect to relax in a restaurant while enjoying your meal early in the Morning! 

Would I recommend Panarotti's for a light meal? Yes, I would the Sub's are really worth it!

23:45:00 0 Comments

Good Morning! 

Recently  I was challenged  by Rubybox to take part in the Dove 7 Day Beauty Bar Challenge and you have noticed that I have posted photos on my Social media channels during this challenge.
 ( I hope that you do follow me if not, no worries you are always welcome to join! Just click in the social button on the right hand side of my page)

What is a Dove 7-day beauty bar Challenge?

The Dove 7 day beauty bar challenge encourages you to try using the Dove beauty bar instead of your regular soap continuously for 7 days. All you have to do is to wash with dove beauty bar for 7 days. You can actually feel and see the difference. Your skin becomes beautiful, nourished and healthy. This is one of their most published challenges and people have found that Dove soap delivers on the promises made.

The first time I was introduced to Dove was from a lady from my Church years ago while I was still in Varsity.  Can you guess what she gifted me with!? Nothing else than the Dove beauty bar! So I have accepted the challenged, since I know the brand very well.

Brekkie at Wimpy

Good Morning,

On Thursday morning  we have decided to take a small trip to Muizenberg this time as our monthly little treat, but unfortunately there wasn't a single parking space! We couldn't believe our eyes, I mean it's not the holidays or even the weekend, but we were so hungry at that time that we have decided to turn home, but first we make a stop at Kiesenbosch Wimpy.

 On Thursday morning my dad and me went to Topeka Spur in Kenilworth Center for breakfast. It was a perfect morning for it, it was very hot and we had a lovely seat near the window.  It's lovely to see all the people that are walking outside while we enjoyed ourselves.

New Beginnings

13:50:00 0 Comments
Good day, 

It's a lazy Sunday afternoon where we just want to unwind and recharge our batteries for the coming week.  

Sunday's are also marked as the first day of the week. At first I thought it a bit strange, but after some thinking maybe not so at all.  I would say that Sundays are a day to reflect and to find some quietness  from the outside world and to go listen to that inner voice inside of us.  

What better day than to spend Sunday to sit at His feet and to give all our worries to Him.......

Good Morning!

I want to share the following poem with you this morning one that I have written a very long time ago. I just felt at that moment to express what I was feeling through words. I was overwhelmed with what I was feeling inside. I hope that this would encourage someone that you are not alone. There are someone that loves you so much and He still does.

Andy's Coffee Shop

Good Morning,

Today I want to share a new tradition that we have started recently by accident.  A good few years ago when we have spend the morning in Hout Bay and we were in search of Ice-Cream.  When you are at the beach you want to enjoy a soft serve Ice-Cream and that are always the top priority of us!

So the three of us have taken a walk around the shops and my Mother actually noticed the  Ice-Cream statue. Which unfortunately aren't there anymore.

Good Morning,


Today everything is back to normal for many people and life will start soon to throw some curveballs again.  Not long then the schools will also start and then it’s full bang into reality and the days of relaxing are a thing of the past. Our days are hectic and stress plays a big role in keeping our hair in a good condition.
