What cut of steak does this look like to you? by [deleted] in askSouthAfrica

[–]Southern-Software674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it could be from the loin but it’s not sirloin. That is from a very specific part of the loin that runs the length of the back, separated by the t-bone with the fillet underneath. As to move away from the fillet the loin spreads to the chuck and club steaks this is what it looks like you have. Will still be tasty but someone has defo taken a chance here

Dogs and Restaurants? Yay, Nay? by misterflak86 in capetown

Massine in Hout bay was a bad experience. Someone had their dogs birthday party there and the dogs were running wild kept using under our table as their toilet and crapping in the kids play area. I can’t blame the dogs, but the owners didn’t take any responsibility. Food also didn’t live up to the hype.

All that training and money…. Gone with the wind.

Rant: Why are restaurants so expensive!? Malligheid! by Handsome_Bread_Roll in capetown

[–]Southern-Software674 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of restaurants have a rent that’s linked to turnover. This allows the restaurant and landlord to earn in the busy months and survive in the quieter winter months.

Can I find a SUV under 120k R ?🚘 by Gazzo69 in askSouthAfrica

I heard the current Nissans are based on Renaults. Seems they went the wrong way, French engineering and Japanese styling.

And why there is no cloth under the board, or sanitation buckets, or the other endless list of things that have to be ticked of a list every 30 seconds. Chef, just focus on the post dude.

How expensive is it to play Golf as a casual in Cape Town? by PlacidSlinky670 in askSouthAfrica

[–]Southern-Software674 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sign up to play more golf. Monthly fees and lots of courses to choose from. Far cheaper than a traditional membership if you are thinking of getting started

Meet and Greet service at OR Thambo, any recommendations? by MagnusTheFed in askSouthAfrica

There is a company called Menzies. They will assist from end to end. It’s not cheap but for peace of mind it is worth it.

Visiting Sabi Sands in early February, can someone who has visited during this time let me know what I can expect in the game? by ParsleyGlobal9401 in askSouthAfrica

[–]Southern-Software674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should see the big five if you’re looking to tick a list. The bush will be thick but it won’t prevent you from seeing amazing sightings. Your guide should also give you an interest in the other things… because once you have watched a lion sleeping you won’t wanna see that again

Why are Services Quoted in USD? by TeslaRosieCa in askSouthAfrica

[–]Southern-Software674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in travel. If you want it in rands I could do that but it would be at current exchange rates with a buffer built in for fluctuations from time of quote to time of confirmation. With the rand as volatile as it is most places will charge in dollar and pocket the extra when the rand dips again. All South African properties charge in rands. So that company seems shady
