Ja. The Pick n Pay. Everything else is pure hype. Else you can wait till after 2200 to snap a bargain.

I have a Pick and Pay much closer to where I live, so I'll give it a miss

I went to Pomodoro in morningside shopping mall last week - definately didnt think it was as good as people are making it out to be. I mean it wasnt bad by any means, but it wasnt fantastic either.

Green Peppercorn is great. But I'll admit the company might have had a lot to do with it.
They have one really interesting/odd combination dessert that we really liked.

Is that the one where the BP used to be? I used to own some property right around the corner there. I saw them building there but I wasn't sure what it was.

Yip.

UPDATE: Went to the shopping centre this morning. Not too much of interest. Lots of interior decor/gift shops, but they all have the same things - quite literally!

There is another halaal butcher with nice, spicy meat and a spice shop.

Had coffee and delicious cheesecake with Lindt chocolate topping at the Green Peppercorn.

pick n pay and the exclusive books the only shops i've used so far. will check out the butcher for selection and pricing. then i suppose when they open the bottle store it will be the other thing i use.
