Sorry for being spammy 😆😆😆
So many of you asked to see May’s dance and I’m just such a proud mum right now.. I feel the need to be spammy 🤣 a bit of a break from the usual content to be a spammy mum 😂😂 but she was so incredible guys .. her very first performance ..so I felt like this needed a permanent spot on my page 🥹 had to share a highlights version though as the whole dance was about 6min long 😆
A little VLOG from the weekend.. prepping for May’s first stage performance in Bharatanatyam 🥹 shew what a day though 😆 it was full on and getting her ready is something I’m adding to my skill set 🤣🤣
So super proud of our girl 🥹😭

I have visited this restaurant 5 times and this is the first time I’m sharing a VLOG on it.. I legit planned to gate keep it 🥲 sorry guys 🥹🥹🥹 but their story and food is so worth sharing .. so here it is 🤩 also this is my local spot.. just around the corner from us which is really dangerous for us coz we just want to keep visiting and take everyone who visits over too 😆
If you haven’t tried Sri Lankan cuisine yet, this is your sign. I’m OBSESSED and now I understand why.
Chef Sylvia Perera brings her love and passion for food and her culture together at Colombo Kitchen. What’s even more inspiring she started her first restaurant at the age of 58 and has won numerous awards for her amazing food!
Now here’s all the details and everything you NEED to order:
Milk Hopper (£5.75)– A light and crispy hopper with coconut milk and sambals. The flavour of the onion sambals with the coconut milk is what I didn’t know I was missing in my life 😭
Crispy Curry Puff (£9)– Flaky pastry filled with curried chicken (we tried the chicken, but the lamb is highly recommended too). Perfectly spiced and so comforting.
Karapincha Corn Ribs (£10)– Corn ribs tossed in curry leaf and their signature spices. The bold flavours and crunchiness of the corn were so good!
Vegetarian Lamprais (£17.50)– A weekend specialty baked in a banana leaf. This dish features mango, pineapple, beans, paneer, cashews and various other veg all mixed into fragrant rice. The meat version is available too, but the veggie one has my heart! This dish has won them an award, so a definite must-try.
Mutton Kottu (£16) – this is roti chopped up and stir-fried with spices, veg, and mutton curry. The textures and flavours are next-level. This is hubby’s usual and my first time trying it. It was so spicy and I’m salivating thinking about it 🤤 they also have a chicken , seafood and veg option.
They also have amazing cocktails, but we skipped dessert to end
This is how we must Ke Dezember as South Africans living in the UK 😆
Let’s go Christmas tree shopping! We might have gotten a wayyyy big one this year 🥲😆

Next weekend May does her first stage performance in Bharatanatyam.. so super proud of our girl and how dedicated she has been to her dance 🥹 she started when she was just 3.. she sat on my lap and watched the class for 2 months before even standing up 😆 the next few months she started to participate but I had to stay in class with her.. after a few weeks of that.. she started going to classes on her own 🥹 she continued through the pandemic online and even changed dance schools when we emigrated.. the last two years.. she has really bloomed and developed such a passion and dedication towards her dance.. and now this weekend we went shopping for her first set of jewellery and accessories for her first performance next week.. she is dancing with her class at her schools Christmas party.. she is so excited 🥹🥹 i think I might cry when i see her all dressed up guys 🥲 also feel a bit sad that we are so far away from our friends and family in SA who I know would have loved to attend and support her too.. but best you know i shall share a snippet here so all her TikTok aunties can show her some love 🥰🥹🫶🏼

You know how they say you should never walk into an empty restaurant… well you won’t have that problem here.. we walked into a buzzzing Saturday evening at @dandan.restaurant and after our meal I understand why!
If you’re craving something spicy and bursting with flavour, you have to visit this gem in Wimbledon. They offer authentic Chinese cuisine and are specialists in handmade dim sum, Chinese bbq and Sichuan dishes. I did a little bit of research and chatted to the team to understand how it differs in flavour. Sichuan is a region in SW China and the dishes from here are known for their bold, vibrant spices and that signature tingle - a mix of heat and numbing magic from Sichuan peppercorns🔥 These Dan Dan noodles were the perfect balance of savoury, spicy and deliciousness. And we definitely felt that kick! If you love spicy food you have to try it! They have a great range of items to try, the menu can feel overwhelming so definitely speak to the staff to guide you on what to order…they were really helpful.
And don’t worry if you’re not a spicy food lover , they have a great variety of flavourful dishes with less heat. They also have a great kids menu, the girls loooved the noodles..Ray is still talking about it lol
Definitely a spot we will visit again ✨
I do love the stores this time of year!
Lets go shopping and window shopping 😂

A Cape Town bagel shop has opened up in London and guyyyys this one is going to blow up!
So for the first time since we moved to the UK, we were local for hubby’s birthday .. so it was the perfect opportunity to check out some local foodie spots and take in being tourists in London!
We stopped by @kleinskys.uk in Mayfair which we have been meaning to visit .. I mean when a bagel shop from Cape Town opens up in London… I’m screaming with excitement!!
With warm smiles, a thoughtfully curated menu, and decor that nods to the Mother City, we felt that familiar South African hospitality from the moment we walked in.
Also guys, it was buzzzzzzzing! So if you don’t like a crowd, definitely visit on a weekday and just before or after meal times.
They have inside and outside seating.. if it weren’t for the gale force winds we might have sat outside as they have lovely heaters!
Even though they were super busy , our order was taken and delivered in fair time. I had a lamb BLT, I was so excited for lamb bacon guys 🙃 the girls had a breakfast bagel and hubby had a schnitzel. Every bite was packed with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavours. I added a sundried tomato cream cheese to mine and 🫠🫠🫠 so good.
If you’re craving a little slice of home feels or just love a great bagel, this is your sign to visit Kleinsky’s! 🌍
