What
can I say about Charley’s Bakery? It’s Mucking Afazing for sure! I prefer
F@cking Amazing though, sorry Mom and Gill. Now you all know how much I love
Blouberg… but the City of Cape Town to me is actually just as awesome. I would
be happy living in the City even in an apartment. The City truly is beautiful
and clean. It is run so well, you could
be in any First World Country if you didn’t know where you were. The
streets are lined with trees, no papers in sight. Water fountains dot circles
and art is displayed throughout the streets. A lot of thought has been put into
making this City beautiful. I guess that women do it better I have to agree
here. My favourite streets in Cape Town are probably your favourite too and
that of all the tourists. Long Street and Bree Street are a must to visit, they
are lined with Restaurants, Coffee Shops, Bakeries, Butcheries and shopping
that can keep you busy for hours and days. The City itself is absolutely safe
to walk around in. I gladly take Kiara for walks without feeling the slightest
bit insecure. I do stick to the main roads though and obviously in hours when
things are busy and happening and in the City of Cape Town that would be 24/7…
Cape Town never sleeps. There are diners around the area that are open till the
early hours of the morning and some Pizza joints that never close their doors.
I walked into a “Pizza Club” the other day that was an actual trance club
serving pizzas of the most insane kind such as Lobster & Boerewors… and you
could buy tickets to trance parties and of course get VIP underground club
passes… and probably more interesting paraphernalia if you requested kindly enough..
There
is so much to do in the City. You can take the red bus scenic tour that runs
all day and go out all the way to Hout Bay if you like and pop into some wine
farms .. hop on and off till 5pm. As you know I love food and have a passion
for taste and I never rest till I have cured my cravings… in Cape Town I am
very spoiled as there are thousands of amazing, trendy, quirky and awesome
little eateries. I’m in the City for the day and ate at The Eastern Food
Bazaar. What this place is, is actually a little bit of India placed ornately inside
the walls of a large building. Inside the aromatic aromas of the days offerings
waft temptingly through the air, the hustle and bustle of hungry diners eating
contently at their chosen spot listening to tranquil Indian tunes…what a
perfect way to spend my day. Today I decided to go for a Doza which is a very
thin pancake made with cheese, corn and curry and topped with salad, chips and
a variety of sauces you can pour into little cups. There are basins dotted
around the Bazaar where you can wash your hands and that to me is the ultimate
because I don’t believe in eating with a knife and fork as you are aware.
Within
walking distance is Charley’s Bakery. If you have viewed the Cake Angels at
work on BBC Food you will have gotten to know them and when you walk into the
bakery it’s like being in the TV Show. They are friendly and very helpful as
you pick your treat for the week, here I think the fat content is x-rated in
any order so I would never indulge for more treats than once per week. Thankfully
I don’t live nearby. I love the vibe while you can watch the Cake Angels at
work creating their edible masterpieces. Any craving is catered for here. I
have tried their wheat free, lemon meringue cup cake, their famous pies, their
death by chocolate that even a chocoholic will battle to polish off as there is
an insane amount of chocolate in that treat! The cheesecake is to die for and
their bright and sparkly cookie monster cup cakes are any kids dream come true.
I order my Cappuccino which I must admit is bloody good and am quite content to
just observe everyone milling in and out with their little pink boxes of
Mucking Afazing contents.
I
miss you and you and you .. all of you. For real x
