There are gazillions of restaurants in Cape Town but not too many where the food is blow-your-hair back amazing and Kyoto Garden Sushi in Tamboerskloof is one such place. The food is in another league. Sushi master Koshi Koyama from Tokyo delivered dish after dish of exceptional food made from …

Seriously, when I’m feeling pressure and need light relief and distraction, one of the places to which I flee is the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock. There are 3 spots in particular that pull me there – Espresso Lab not only does the finest in coffee (even Nobu said so) …
I don’t do it often enough, this escaping from the office in the middle of a mad day stuff. Today was impossibly beautiful in Cape Town…31 degrees, windless, cloudless, that balmy air on the skin. I had to get out and for some reason Bakoven beach was on my mind. …
I’m mostly a City girl- it’s not often that I drive over the hill to the Southern Suburbs for much, let alone food, but for a great pizza destination, Basilico in Newlands calls my name. Originally known as Piazza Trevi, the restaurant was bought by Anthony Bounds in 1999 who …

This is an airport like no other. The one where I can be found wayyyy before my departure time – where I don’t mind flight delays – where I just want to hang around for ages. I mean at which other airport can you stop and smell the frangipani’s; sit …
I’ve met so many dogs in Bangkok and on Koh Phangan.s roads and beaches – affectionate and friendly, so good natured in spite of their circumstances. I think most people know about street (Soi) dogs that exist all over Thailand. Dogs that literally live on the street 24/7, raising puppies, …
Our Christmas lunch, no let me rephrase- feast- was a fabulously festive affair at the Milky Bay Resort on Koh Phangan in Thailand this year. It was my first Christmas away from Cape Town in forever and apart from missing my family back home, it was amazing to be able …
Wat Pho…a peaceful place. Being there felt like an intrusion, like I needed to step softly and try to be invisible. The temple grounds are quite big and it’s not easy to work out what’s what as there was no signage that I could see. Monks were busying themselves sweeping …
