Creative Mastermind!
Hello there!
Welcome to my blog! My name is Lisa, I have lived on 4 continents and moved to Cape Town South Africa, in Oct 2010! It has been the most refreshing, and mind expanding experience so far - I am loving Cape Town!
Moving to a new city, country, or continent has many benefits.... beside the opportunity to experience vibrant cultures, smell the spices in the air and taste the complex flavours of all fruits of nature, my favourite aspect is without a doubt, to hear the stories from the locals!!
I live life to the fullest, every new adventure is a memory for my rocking chair....! Traveling is a passion and a lifestyle I can't imagine not having. During my "free" times, you will be sure to find me exploring the colorful neighborhoods in Cape Town, hitting up concerts / cultural events / festivals, and just having a blast~
Welcome, and I hope to show you the multiple dimensions of Cape Town!
CPT Love,
Lisa

As the summer approaches, do you find yourself wanting a lighter, fresher dinner option? Made to order, seasonal ingredients that doesn’t break the bank?
Tonight was one of those nights!
Having stayed in the office waaaaay later than expected, I left hungry & wanting something refreshing but still filling - perhaps a salad? Or Chinese fried rice?
Having my mind set on the Pork Fried Rice special by Jewel Tavern on St George’s Mall & Church Street - I walked quickly & determined. Only to find out that my favourite Chinese restaurant (with amaaaazing lunch specials!) had MOVED!!!!! aaaaaagggh!! Bye Bye Jewel Tavern, guess I have to find you on Kloof St in the future!
Plan B: Doppio Zero right across the road!
Doppio had the amazing Gypsy Kings album on! Score! On closer look at the menu, the cheapest salad was R50++…. hrrm, after all the fresh produce I bought at the Earth Fair Market this afternoon, I was left with R50 in my pocket…
Plan C: Kauai? Crave?
Both were closed and it was only 7:30pm! Ugh! The Italian restaurant across from Purple Turtle was opened though…. again, cheapest salad = R50+… this is really not my day >.<
I was meeting a friend at OnBroadway tonight, to see the STHE AND THE UNTOUCHABLES! Perhaps that Turkish hole-in-the-wall booth right next to OnBroadway?
BINGO!! Baris Bufe - Doner Kebab!
I could not believe my eyes! Kebab in pita with chips, salad for R35? Lamb kebab for R45? Turkish Lahmacun with salad for R15?!!?!?! I was sold!
This is my Turkish Lahmacun - a Turkish pizza with very thin, flat base! Topped with delicious spread of mince, chopped onion, tomato, fresh parsley & green pepper!
The Lahmacun dough was freshly rolled, baked, and was literally ready within 8minutes. Toasty & warm, I gobbled up my treat and sat content with a wide GRIN on my face!
Dinner & Grapetiser = R27. Now that is a HARD DEAL to beat!
Shhhhh….. but I think I’ve discovered Cape Town’s Hidden Gem! Find Baris Bufe - Doner Kebab at 44 Long St!!
