Food – Always Anne

Welcome to the urban jungle where all the cool kids in Cape Town like to play.

KONG Bar & Grill opened its vibrant doors in the super trendy neighbourhood – de Waterkant. I was invited to the official opening launch and instantly felt surrounded with vibrant vibes thanks to the amazing decor and never ending options to guarantee a good time including the downstairs restaurant and bar, the upstairs dance floor with DJ booth, two pool rooms, a lekker outside patio and gorgeous backdrops to choose from to secure the perfect snap for Instagram.

Every ocassion deserves a celebration.

KONG spoils you with the full 360 entertainment experience – from watching the World Cup Rugby enjoying the R95 burger, chips and beer special to their popular Thursday night parties where ladies can enjoy free bubbly between 8-9pm.

If you want to enjoy a romantic dinner like my husband and I did, head downstairs and indulge in beautifully prepared European and Asian inspired dishes to set the mood.

Hungry?

Their menu is very reasonable priced and they cater for everyone’s taste. Choose between your favourite burger, grilled steaks, gourmet salads, seafood or variety of tapas. For starters my hubby ordered Jalapeno Chilli Poppers (R60) and I went for the Sticky grilled chicken wings (R67).

For mains I just couldn’t say ‘no’ to aged rump (R135 for 250g) while hubby went for the classic beef burger (R95). We shared dessert which was almost too pretty to eat – Coconut and Thyme Panna Cotta (R65).

KONG Bar & Grill is definitely one of my new favourite hangout spots and if you want to have the same experience, please see more info below.

But first, what did the one oyster say to the other oyster? Nice mussels!

The Mussel Monger & Oyster Bar spiced up their store at the Mojo Market in Sea Point.

One of my favourite spots in Sea Point is the local Mojo Market. From their famous pulled pork to their signature pizzas and the live music happening daily – you can never go wrong.

Recently, The Mussel Monger & Oyster Bar renovated and expanded their trendy space at the market which is open seven days a week from 10:30am to 10pm, catering to all the seafoodies in the Mother City.

But let’s talk about the owner for a sec. What a cool and inspiring guy… Kyle Dods has sold over 400 000 oysters and over 20 tons of mussels to date. Imagine when he reaches the half million mark! #MORECELEBRATIONS

Lekker West Coast vibes

Sourced from Saldanha Bay, the freshly farmed produce gets its uniqueness from the quality of water in the region and is known for some of the world’s best oysters and mussels. “We supply Capetonians with some the best produce in the world and it is time for all to know this,” says Kyle. Fact.

Kyle sources directly from key ocean farm partnerships in the West Coast town of Saldanha Bay, where 90% of all oysters and 100% of all mussels in the country, are sourced.

Ummm, so what makes them extra special?

Their oysters are stored in a huge submersible tank, which pumps sea water through so that the oysters are filtering themselves right until they are shucked and served. Every morning the mussels and oysters are harvested and delivered to the outlets, daily.

Size matters

Kyle also insists on serving large oysters, which are ‘plump, meaty, sweet and a delicious mouthful’ with very little fuss.

“There’s truly nothing like cracking open an oyster, seeing the sea water burst out of it, and enjoying it, the way nature intended.” Kyle, owner
