1. Constantia Uitsig with Carly, her mom and sister. Asparagus with Parmesan to start, Mushroom and ham risotto for main.

2. Harbour House, Kalk Bay with mom, dad, jess, simon. Gnochi with parmesan, mushrooms, tomato and veg to start. Kinglip (see fish goal) for main. Dark chocolate terrine for dessert with dark chocolate mousse, meringue and almonds.

3. Nobu with the Manley's. Lots and lots of courses and the first time that I have ever genuinely enjoyed Sushi.

4. Vandiar's with mom and dad. Lovely butter chicken and samoosas. Perfect Papadoms. Kept it simple and it was delicious.

5. Balducci's with Andrew. Best pizza I have ever eaten and a delicious pinotage to drink it with. Can't go wrong.

6. La Parada on Bree with dad. Nice tapas, but should have stuck to that. The mains were either bland or strange. Lovely tapas spot if you don't mind being squished up with other people at a table.

7. Cafe Dijon in De Waterkant for pre-Christmas dinner out with the family - delicious steaks!

8. Mondiall at the V&A Waterfront with Bianca - top quality bistro-style food and delicious desserts.

9. Vovo Telo at the V&A Waterfront with Bianca - Butter chicken pizza was very interesting.

10. Nonna Linna for a pre-theatre snack with Wendyl and Richard. Beautiful thin-crust pizza bases - must go back.

11. South China Dim Sum Bar on Long Street with Claire. So ridiculously yum!

12. El Burro for Cinco de Mayo on 5 May 2014 with Bianca and Toff - lovely cocktails and good food and how cool to have leftover Churros for breakfast.

13. Lefty's for birthday dinner and drinks with many wonderful friends - great vibes and cheap, but seriously tasty food. Loved the pulled pork sandwich, but going to have to go back for chicken and waffles.

14. La Mouette with Gerhard - Six course autumn tasting menu, or six course AWESOME tasting menu.

15. San Julian Tacos and Tequila with Bianca, Simone, Wendyl and Bjorn - good tacos, but small portions. GREAT tequila!

16. Sababa - Choose a main and three salads. Great lunch spot and the food is both tasty and healthy! Must go back for take away lunch.

17. Fat Cactus Woodstock with Bianca, Toff, Bjorn and other friends. Nice mexican food, cool vibe, gotta love Margarita jugs!

18. Woodstock Eatery with the lovely Charlotte. DELICIOUS pizzas and so original compared to anywhere else. Must go back for roast lamb pizza and other yummy things on the menu!

19. Beijing Opera - finally tried their dim sum. Always been tricky as they only open during the day. Yummy and nice lunch spot, but more expensive than South China and not as good.

On a side note we also had a brief dim sum sesh at I love my Laundry...also SC all the way, but great place!

20. Borage - Thursday night supper club with Bianca, Toff, Gerhard, Dom and Irma. Three course meal for R160 and you can bring your own wine...AMAZING. Will definitely go again. Different every time and you have to book!
