Well good morning from Cape Town.
We are up bright and early for breakfast and we decided let's go out for breakfast today
instead of eating at the AirBNB.
We're staying right across from The Company's Garden and we were walking through the other
day and we saw that they have a nice little coffee shop slash restaurant slash teahouse.
They open at six in the morning so we figured let's eat there today.
Well, first things first.
Tea because it is freezing cold outside.
It is mid-autumn.
Mid autumn I think right?
Yeah, anyways it so chilly in the morning.
Technically it is late May here but this would be their late Autumn maybe early starting
into winter.
I can see my breath in the air this morning.
Well, the thing is the temperature by like say late morning or mid-afternoon is hot.
Like it is in the mid 20s.
Oh.
But in the morning it is cold.
In the morning tea is good.
Oh, and I'm having Rooibos.
Look at that.
A beautiful cup of red tea.
That really is beautiful.
And you know what?
I just drink my tea plain.
They've brought me a lovely tray with milk and I don't need it.
And I have to say Rooibos is on my Dad's favorite teas.
Mmmhmm.
I think he discovered it maybe like maybe 5 to 10 years ago.
Something like that and we always have Rooibos tea.
Always.
Now in the house.
Always.
Whenever I go home it is like one of the teas that is available.
And look.
A little cookie.
This looks like the rusks.
The hard bread that they sell here.
Mmm.
It is.
It is kind of like a biscotti.
I think that is the closest thing I can compare it to.
But yeah, this is really nice.
So I'm just going to dip it in my tea.
Because that is how we roll here.
Haha.
That is how you roll.
Haha.
Mmmm.
This one is almond flavored.
Very good.
Sam here is destroying his latte art.
That is not how it is done.
You're supposed to do that last.
Actually it is a cappuccino art.
I got a cappuccino.
Cappuccino.
Yeah.
So let's try that.
No Koeksisters.
Awww.
Okay, that is alright.
Thank you.
There is a lot of things.
No Koeksisters.
There are no koeksisters today.
That is a traditional pastry slash dessert type.
Yeah, but we just asked for another recommendation and we're getting a Milk Tart.
So we're going to split that.
Anyways, cappuccino time.
Anywhos.
Mmm.
Look at you drinking coffee like a little mouse.
Oh, that is nice.
Nice cappuccino.
And the thing I like about this one is that it is a big cup and it is full.
As I'm getting a little older I need my coffee in the morning let me tell you.
I'm like a bear if I don't have coffee in the morning.
So, this is nice.
And breakfast is served.
Do do dah dooh.
Well you're looking pretty happy over there.
With coffee and food in front of your face.
Another cappuccino and look at the size of this.
This is the full English or the complete breakfast or whatever you want to call it here.
Well, give us the tour then.
This thing is massive.
Like this plate.
Look at this.
It is more like a platter.
It is a platter.
It is a double hand platter.
Double hand platter.
Oh man.
So over here we've got what appears to be some fried mushrooms.
I love mushrooms We have a hashbrown.
We have a grilled tomato, we have toast.
We have bacon and that will please any Canadian guy.
And over here we have like a thin.
A long thin sausage and then we have two eggs well done.
because nothing grosses me out more than runny eggs.
And you know what?
The sausage kind of reminds me of the sausages we were having at the braai.
Yeah, that is right.
So I don't know the name of this one.
Are they called broewers.
I do not know.
Sorry if we butchered the name here.
So I'm going to start off with the sausage and with the mushrooms.
Let's try that.
Mmmm.
Oh man.
That is one juicy sausage.
Very tasty.
Do you want your cake later?
No, no we'll have it now.
Sure.
Oh wow.
Thanks so much.
Woah.
That looks awesome.
That looks good.
Thank you.
Alright, so let's try some of the other stuff.
So I don't know how you guys eat your toast but sometimes I just like to pop my egg right
down on top.
This is what Sam does.
Sam puts like peanut butter, jam.
Yep.
And then egg on top of the toast.
Why not?
Sweet and savory.
That is disgusting.
Why not?
It tastes so good.
Don't knock it unless you've tried.
You've never been even willing to try it.
Does anyone else do that?
Anything weird with their toast like that?
Let us know.
I'm just glad they didn't give you jam today.
Mmmm.
That is really nice homemade bread.
I've put lots of butter on it so that is quite tasty.
And the eggs are done just the way I like them.
Overcooked.
Overcooked.
Really good.
Okay, so for my breakfast I ordered eggs benedict with salmon.
Ooh.
But because I'm sharing with Sam I would normally order my eggs runny but he was like no please.
We compromised.
We compromised with medium.
Medium.
This is medium.
Otherwise Sam will freakout at the table.
He'll be like take it away.
Take it away.
Haha.
I can't look at it.
Take it away.
You know what?
Eggs benedict is the one dish that I can handle having running eggs but just let's say fried
runny eggs on their own.
No way.
Sam freaks out.
Deal breaker.
Absolute deal breaker.
He freaks out.
Get a bit of salmon with that too.
Oh my gosh this is like the biggest bite already.
This is looking so messy.
Not appetizing on camera.
I do apologize.
Ah Audrey, you're the best at making a mess.
No one quite compares.
Can I fit this in my mouth.
It is all like falling off.
Oh my gosh.
Haha.
Yeah.
And eggs benedict.
And you've got a leaf sticking out of your mouth.
Eggs benedict is probably one of the breakfast items whenever it is available like we're
kind of all over that.
It is probably one of our favorite things to have.
Mmmm.
What do you think?
Mmmhmmm.
It gets the thumbs up?
Alright, so sharing is caring.
So I get to try the eggs benedict.
And yeah, I mean like we've traveled in South Africa a little bit now and I found that breakfast
tends to be kind of similar to this or I mean you can also had things like muesli and yogurt
and other things like it can be quite European.
It can be quite European.
Um, and so yeah it is just uh these are is kind of a familiar breakfast for us so.
Mmmmm.
You know what?
You know what really makes this taste good?
Well, the salmon of course.
But I find that the I think this is like a sourdough, kind of a sourdough English muffin.
Oh yeah, it is sourdough bread.
Oh, and it just it is really sour.
That is so good.
That is the nicest thing about this for sure.
Alright, you get to try it.
I get to try Sam's breakfast.
Yeah, and something I you know would be cool to find out is if you lived or stayed in South
Africa for a while, or you're from here, what is something you would typically have for
breakfast?
Because you know we're this is what we're eating today but it would be great to find
out what are some other different types of foods.
Fruit Loops!
Hopefully not Fruit Loops.
That wouldn't be very nutritious.
So what do you think?
It is tasty.
Isn't that good?
Mmmhmmm.
This is brunch.
This is breakfast and lunch together.
We've got our work cut out for us because we also ordered this.
This is what?
The cake.
So we got a milk tart and the funny thing is our waitress was telling us oh it is small.
Like you might not be able to share.
I'm kind of glad we just ordered one because this is massive.
And apparently this uh this is something that is quite typical in Cape Town.
Looking forward to having that once we finish the savory.
And last but not least?
Uh-huh.
I think as usual we've gone overboard and ordered too much food.
That breakfast was massive and we still have our dessert.
This has turned into a brunch for sure.
So let's go in for the milk tart.
It looks delicious.
And look at that.
It looks like dulce de leche and manjar blanco.
Oh my gosh.
Mmmm.
The caramel sauce.
Is that good?
It is like flan.
It does taste like flan huh?
Mmmm.
I was going to say it kind of looked like flan.
Yeah, like a flan cake.
It has a consistency very similar.
Yeah.
And then it has a bit of like brown sugar and cinnamon on top.
Oh wow.
And then you mix that with the dulce de leche and icing sugar and I just ate all of that
so sorry about that.
That is really mean.
Sorry about that Sam.
You should leave a little bit for me.
Mmmmm.
It has a tart base.
Yep.
And kind of like a moist tart at the bottom.
And yeah, it is so creamy and smooth.
Is that cinnamon on top?
Or cinnamon and brown sugar.
Oh yum.
It is so good.
I do like this.
Woah.
Sam is a little upset.
You know how much I like dulce de leche and for you to gobble it all up.
Womp womp.
I think you just ruined my morning.
Hahaha.
Anyways, I'm kind of just kidding.
It is okay the cake will perk you up.
Oh, so I'm going to try it with some of the other things.
So there is some cream and strawberry.
Also there is strawberry.
I'm going to slice one in half.
No, jeez.
There we go.
Look at that.
Mmmmm.
Isn't that good?
Wow.
Even though I'm stuffed I have room for that.
And what is really coming through is the cinnamon for me.
Mmmmm.
That is nice.
Alright, so it is that time again.
Time for price point.
So that was 305 Rand which was $22 US dollars and that included 3 drinks, 2 massive mains,
a dessert.
So full, satisfied and now we're going to go relax and play some chess.
So they have a game of giant chess here.
Sam is going to try and organize the pieces.
And you know what?
Let's see if he knows how to setup a chess board.
The last time we played giant chess was for our honeymoon in Cuba.
Do you remember that?
Yes, I do.
That was like almost 3 years ago.
I'm pretty sure I lost.
Yeah, I defeated you soundly.
Alright, let's see you set it up.
I think someone is struggling.
Sam doesn't play chess very often.
Do you think you could help?
I'm filming.
Oh my gosh.
Hehehe.
So Sam what are you actually doing because you decided you don't want to play.
So what is the deal?
I am just setting it up for the next person because we actually have a busy day.
We still have to go to the V&A Waterfront.
So that is very nice of you.
It is quite nice of me isn't it?
So someone is going to be able to play chess.
Someone will be able to play chess after they are done their breakfast.
Well you are almost done.
Do da doo doo.
Two more pieces.
Two more pieces.
Let's make sure is work is right.
It looks in order.
Da dun dun.
The very last piece.
Alright, let's go.
So another cool thing about this cafe is that they have bird nests.
Human sized.
Alright, which is pretty good.
Alright, bird go hop in your nest.
Okay.
Alright, bird in your nest.
I'm in a bird nest.
Aaah.
So yeah, I mean I can't believe this is basically our last day in Cape Town and in South Africa.
Like this is been such an awesome trip.
And I think this is one of our now our favorite countries and cities to visit so I sure hope
we can come back again soon.
And uh yeah I don't think this will be our last adventure in South Africa.
Hopefully not.
Hopefully not.
Alright, tata.
