Joy and Jubilation!
Well maybe not so much, but I
must say I was rather chuffed when by chance, I came across a Chinese
supermarket in Rivonia, rather close to my ‘hood. Kong Tai is a restaurant and
supermarket situated at The Wedge Shopping Centre in Joburg. The restaurant
looks quite smart and welcoming while the aromas set off Pavlovian-like
salivating impulses- can I get an AMEN!??
The food was impressive much to my relief
because I have been longing for a reliable Asian takeaway spot and have been
left disappointed one too many times.
I spent a good buck in the
supermarket as well, buying everything from variations of Soya sauce, Dumpling
Sauce, Eggs Noodles, Spinach Spaghetti, Chicken and Cabbage Dumplings- (to die
for!), Chinese Vegetables like Pak Choi and some Chinese Crockery.
This week I am trying out an
Oriental twist to my menu, owing to the fact that after having suffered a
fateful case of food poisoning (someone else’s food I assure you), I am leaning
more towards light and easy going food.
I hope to explore a few dishes
by talking to people and getting pointers, researching but mainly experimenting
with flavours.
