Lunch at Tribeca, Kalk Bay


The first time I went to Tribeca I had tea and a piece of chocolate cake. The tea was standard and the cake was so dry it was like shoveling desert into my mouth.

Needlesstosay I wasn't too keen on going back there but last week my pops and I were looking for somewhere to go for lunch in Kalk Bay and found ourselves sitting at the window seat at Tribeca.

Wow.

Pop's mezz platter

I was blown away at how fresh and tasty their meals were. I had a smoky chicken sandwich while the popsicle opted for the goat's cheese and veg sandwich. Both were absolutely delicious. We enjoyed it so much that today we decided to go back. This time I ordered the Tribeca beef burger and pops got the mezze platter. We were well-impressed once again.

The Tribeca beef burger
The portions are generous and the food is flavoursome. I couldn't even finish my burger. The wedges were srumptious but I have a sneaky suspicion that the chef sprinkled them with Aromat which is great-tasting but not the healtiest seasoning option. 

If you're ever in Kalk Bay and are looking for somewhere to eat then I totally recommend Tribeca.

Yum!

I've started reading a new book


When I was in school I used to inhale books. Fiction was my poison and I could devour one in a day or so.

Lately I find myself wanting to read more but making excuses about not having enough time, or there not being any good books for me to read.

Bullshit.

From now on I'm gonna spend every spare second with my nose in a book because the pages of fantasy novels, biographies and adventure tales have so much to offer me.

I've just started reading The Book Thief. I'm loving Death's perspective on the world he's describing and although I'm only about twenty pages in I feel good about reading again.

Have you read it?

What do you think?

Book Launch

Eclectic Kalk Bay Books
Last night my mother, my aunt, a friend and I went to a book launch in Kalk Bay.

Kalk Bay Books often have these launches and this time it was in the form of an interview with Lewis Gordon Pugh. I felt so cultural standing in the store, with my free glass of (white) wine in hand, waiting impatiently for things to get going.

Lewis' new book "Acheiving the Impossible"
Lewis is an amazing person. He is a cold water swimmer and recently swam 1km in a glacial lake on Mount Everest! It was a lovely evening, listening to this inspiring man talk about his life and adventures with humility and jest.

I enjoyed it grandiously!
