๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ I Tried South Africa's Bunny Chow: https://youtu.be/KbduZVDxlRg ๐Ÿ‘‰ SUBSCRIBE for more: https://www.youtube.com/@MarkWiens Today weโ€™re going on an ultimate South African food tour in Cape Town, South Africa where weโ€™ll eat the best gatsby and find out what Cape Malay food really is! Super Fisheries - Weโ€™re starting this Cape Town food tour today in Athlone to try the original Gatsby, a giant fast food creation that is one of the most well known street foods in Cape Town and this is where they invented it. I enjoyed their amazing Calamari, Fish and Chips Gatsby. Price - 180 ZAR ($10.72) Arshad's Kitchen - Next up weโ€™re heading to Arshad's Kitchen to try some of the best chicken tikka in Cape Town, and they serve amazing Halal grilled food. Price - 60 ZAR ($3.57) The Golden Dish - But nothing in Cape Town will prepare you for the shock and amazing gatsby sandwiches that you can order at the Golden Dish. I tried their insane Masala Steak Full House Gatsby which is the king of South African food and one of the worldโ€™s best sandwiches! Price - 260 ZAR ($15.49) Fish On The Rocks - Cape Town is also very well known for their fish and chips and Fish On The Rocks in Hout Bay is extremely iconic. I tried their Snoek & Chips, Hake & Chips, and their Peri Peri Prawns. Price - 115 ZAR ($6.85) per plate Bo-Kaap Kombuis Restaurant - Cape Malayโ€™s are predominantly Muslims that were indentured laborers and enslaved who were brought to the Cape in South Africa, and they developed their own unique food and culture. Cape Malay food is something you have to try in Cape Town. We tried their Boboti, Fish Curry, Prawn Curry, Lamb Curry, Denning Vleis-Lamb, Tomato Bredie Beef, Frikkadel and more! Thank you to Gumbo and Caleb from https://experientialtravelafrica.com/ for helping me to arrange this trip to South Africa.

Cape Malay person here. Thank you for showing the world the true Cape Malay cuisine. This is exactly what I grew up eating and I was definitely impressed by your choice of restaurants. Real ones know Golden Dish and grow up having it once a week. First video where I would truly say that someone truly showed off our daily food for Cape Malays in Cape Town. Extremely well done.
