kamers 2017

kamers-2017-7

If you guys are looking for something fun to do this public holiday or over the weekend then you should definitely pay South Africa’s biggest pop-up event Kamers a visit. It’s being held at one of the most beautiful establishments in Joburg, St John’s College and is on from April the 26th to April the 30th.

It was my first time visiting Kamers in over 3 years and I must say there were quite a number of stalls that took my credit cards fancy, which I was pretty pleased about. I got to discover a few new local brands which I had never heard of before as well as see some in real life that I follow and admire on Instagram. I was really impressed by the whole set-up, there is loads of space so you don’t feel like you’re on top of the stranger next to you, trying on their 5th pair of sunglasses, while you try to suck down a gourmet churro (yes there is a churro stand!!!) there is also a nice mix of stalls selling everything from clothing to jewelry to kid’s clothing/toys to skin care items to antiques and the list goes on.

Cube Tasting Kitchen

Now I’m not a huge fan of molecular gastronomy, I always worry that by the end of the meal which is more than likely going to be made up of a dusting of this and a foam version of that I’m still going to be hungry and slightly confused, but this wasn’t the case at Cube Tasting Kitchen.

The food, every last crumb and deconstructed molecule of it was delicious. What’s even better is that their menu is ever changing and is worked on by all the chefs in the kitchen so it’s a combination of their talents, meaning that it’s compiled and deliberated over for days before the final result is achieved.

High Tea - Four Seasons Westcliff-1

A few days ago my friend Gina and I went for High Tea at The Four Season Westcliff. We were shown upstairs to The View restaurant and seated at a table on their balcony which offers you a view of Johannesburg like no other, it’s uninterrupted, vast and it’s accompanied by a cake stand full of sweet and savoury goodies that will have you smiling like someone who’s had way to much happy gas.

The menu for High Tea is set, you get five sweet and five savoury items per person and on this particular day we were treated to an Apple and Pear Afternoon Tea, which included Raspberry Poached Pear and Chocolate Tarts, Homemade Pecan Praline Scones, Apple and Pomegranate Verrine, Mascarpone and Pear Cheesecake and Apple Cinnamon Palmiers, which were all really delicious. My favourite were the Palmiers and the Pecan Praline Scones, which I scoffed down with honey whipped butter. Holy Moley.

If any of you have gone down to the woods lately, the woods being the Johannesburg CBD you will have come across a relatively new venture called Work Shop New Town, which if summed up in one sentence, is a really awesomely designed warehouse space that houses over 100 local designers showcasing and selling their products.

The actual building that Work Shop New Town exists in a massive potato shed that was built in 1911, photos of what this place looked like before are so interesting . The architects have used the space beautifully filling it with pockets of interest here and there and creating architectural pieces that are very pleasing to the eye.
