I am having 2 slices of toast. One with sandwich spread one with Bovril.

Have been seeing if I can live on +- R50 / week (only on week days).

Fried toufu with pork (hot) , tomato + egg soup, some vegetable and rice.:whistle:

I'm a Chinese and also i wanna tell you all something about the Chinese food in SA. Actually they are not traditional Chinese food ... No one will order&eat these funny Chinese food in China at a restaurant.... Because the Chinese food in SA such as fried rice,fried noodel, spring roll , etc, the 90% Chinese food you know from a South African Chinese restaurant that in China, actually they just like hamburger in SA. Don't be fooled by SA local Chinese restaurant. :confused:

Noted. I was taken to a surprise dinner by my bf to a chinese restaurant - they had the traditional crockery, etc... We had a 3 course meal with prawns, rice, chicken, veggies and even the sauce was in a bowl and I insisted on using chopsticks - my friend is from Taiwan so she taught me how to use chopsticks and actually get a mouthful of food from it.

I am making beef stew for supper later this afternoon with potatoes, carrots, onions and cubed beef... Nice for a cold evening as I am being picked up by the sister-in-law and mother-in-law to go and look at 2nd hand office furniture - bf and I need office chairs - I might even get a nice PC table if I find a suitable one to my liking...

Hehe, my ex-gf is a South African gril, when the first time I made her some REAL Chinese food, she was so surprised and saying the SA local Chinese restaurants are just jokes, rip off. Because basically the way to eat traditional Chinese food is totally diffrent from how the SA local Chinese resturants taught her. I.E We never use a dish to eat rice, it's very rude in our tradition. ;)

Yeah I've seen it before. the same way the indians eat with their fingers, not with eating utensils. They scrap their food and rice with fingers or bread. I learnt it the traditional indian way. Also the Africans do the same. I've seen where a group of chinese people eat together - they have a platter in front of them, they use chopsticks to pick their food and eat with their palms up to catch food that drops from the chopsticks but most cases, they're good with eating from chopsticks so they don't usually drop their food like I do - I need more practice with that.

I also saw on Masterchef - the top chinese chef who owns a restaurant in Australia - he caters for common people but there are chinese Aussies who still eat the traditional way so he provides both ways for different people. It was very interesting - seeing that he provided for all cultures either way... I would love to travel to China's farmlands and exprience the northern culture's cooking. Is it true that they cook dog, cat and snake meat for food?
 
Fillet steak on the braai with roast potatoes, apple and walnut salad and a gorgonzola dressing...
 
Don't know yet. I'm still trying to drink myself into a semi-relaxed state before I can think of something to eat.
 
Roast pork with roast potatoes, steamed carrots, steamed rice, pork crackling and yummy pork gravy...

Oh yes I also have those memories. Specially nice on a braai. I'll only start buying when summer comes up in JHB - it's too cold in the winter to braai.
