Yeah, I mentioned before somewhere that South Africa has a glut of sushi places, and part of that is that every restaurant and his dog has a sushi bar attached. The good thing is that they're usually all pretty good, although maybe not entirely authentic. I do wish that we could have at least one Japanese take away, or moderately priced Japanese restaurant. Who is Cooking, you've got us interested in the Thai place, and in fact saw some pics of the place on your site. And we'll probably give Maureen's place a try too. Thanks for all the tips!

There is also the Bell across at Belvidere which used to do pub type meals which were worth all the effort it takes to get to the other side of town. But they nuked my last one in a micro-wave and we haven' been back for awhile. For curries (no pie) there is the Thai Kitchen in Memorial Square (near the library). If you like Thai this is authentic stuff, in other words chaotic and real. The pies you find around the corner at Maureen's place in Fitchat St. She started making Jaymor pies in Sedgefield when the Outeniqua Choo Choo was still running and I think the Plett Pie shop is out of the same baking tin. For a Sunday lunch we take the kids to the Heath on the N2 between Plett and Knysna. They do a lamb roast on Sunday which more often than not is good too. On the other side of town try Cafe Francois at the Scarab Market and for steaks (no choices there) there is Joplins just before Wilderness and on your right. Enjoy.

The fries look nice and crisp too (yeah, and plentiful! I'd have found it hard to stop eating them). Ooooh yes, I hope Wu's has char siu too! I've never been to a place that did Chinese AND Sushi though (have I read that right? :)) What a shame the pie place was closed, but those burgers look pretty good.
