I love foodie events; walking around tasting wine and food,
learning about restaurants in Durban, seeing chefs in action and cooking
alongside them. So you can imagine how excited I was when Pick ‘n Pay Taste of
Durban approached me with 10 tickets to give away!
The Pick ‘n Pay Taste of Durban will be taking place from Friday 25 to Sunday 27 July at Suncoast
Casino & Entertainment World (Suncoast). It’s a foodie event where chefs
from nine of Durban’s top restaurants will create special menus of
starter-dishes reflecting their ‘individual tastes and food-philosophies’.
This year’s event
will have Marcelle
Roberts from Café 1999, Louise Potgieter from Havana Grill at Suncoast and
Themba Mngoma from Little Havana, newcomer Nardia Adams from Asian Tapas spot
Greedy Buddha, Lucy Markewicz flying the colours for Freedom Café, popular
Indian restaurant Amaravathi Palki, Market, Beluga Durban, Vigour & Verve
and an exciting new addition to the line-up this year, The Durban eKasi
Experience, totaling the Chefs and restaurants participating.
There
is tons for foodies to do at this event, to name a few; there is a Fresh Living
Chef’s Theatre where top chefs showcase their culinary skills through fun
demonstrations. Those who want to get stuck in, can attend the Pick n Pay Wine
and Canapé Experience, where guests learn how to create simple, stylish and delicious
canapés, while being instructed by wine experts on how to pair each canapé with
complimentary wines. Chocoholics will find their fix at the Lindt stand where
they will be hand crafting Lindt LINDOR
truffles and fresh pralines. Visitors can relax while indulging the Castle Milk Stout Experience, where
tastings and food pairing will take place. Robertson’s Butcher’s Block in association with Big Green Egg will
have a gastro theatre dedicated to all things meaty.
Are you
salivating yet? Well, I am! There is something for everyone; and as the years
have gone by Pick ‘n Pay Taste of Durban continue to build and improve on this
event to ensure an unforgettable foodie experience.
I certainly feel
after all that has been tasted, bought and tried out, visitors are definitely
going to be leaving Taste of Durban with that ‘stuffed-feeling’. This event is certainly for all
those Durban foodies out there, and I couldn’t be happier to select five lucky
winners to give tickets to for this event. So in other words, read what you

I believe that the bunny is a true Durban dish, and the best I have eaten so far is at Capsicum Restaurant in Britannia Hotel (on Umgeni Road)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment Kashmiri! Bunny chows are brilliant in Durbs! In order for your entry to be valid, please make sure you have also liked the Taste of Durban Facebook page too. Good Luck!
DeleteA braai complete with pap and sous for sure. Nothing like Durban weather to make sure we can braai all year round and enjoy our lovely country with friends, family and perfectly braai-ed meat.
ReplyDeleteSo true Jenny, even in winter a braai is always a good idea! Thank you for commenting. Don't forget to make sure you have also liked the Taste of Durban page to make your entry valid.
DeleteIt's got to be a nice mutton breyani! Best served from my kitchen off course..
ReplyDeleteOh yummy! That sounds delicious! Thanks for your comment and Facebook Likes! Good Luck!
Deleteoh my, seriously a Beef Bunny Chow is most definitely a TRUE Durban dish best served from Goundens restaurant/take away! Best of the best. Simple yet true Durban style. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Eloise! I have never tried a bunny from Goundens, will have to put that on my to-do list! Don't forget to like the Facebook pages of Stuffed-Feeling and Taste of Durban to finalize your entry.

DeleteI see you have liked updates on the Stuffed-Feeling Facebook page but not the actual page. Please double check, don't want you to miss out on the giveaway. You want to hit the 'like' button at the top on the cover image. Thanks for taking part - good luck!
DeleteMy true Durban dish would most definitely be the, Beef Roti and Beef Bunny at Jay,s Take away on the corner of Mack Rd and Ernest Clockie Rd, in Prospecton. It's a large caravan selling the best bunnies and roti's I've ever tasted. Absolutely delicious. A true taste of Durban. And well supported by businessmen, to shift workers from the factories.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Those caravans do have some gems! Make sure you have also like Taste of Durban's Facebook page to complete your entry.
DeleteThe 1 and only true Durban dish as anybody would tell you, would have to be a Chip and Cheese Roti, and from where you may ask, no place else but " Johnny's Rotis ". If you have ever had the pleasure of tucking into 1 of these bad boys, you will know that nowhere in the world can match a Roti like " Johnny's ".
ReplyDeleteThey are certainly Bad Boys and the size of an arm! Thanks for entering - make sure you like Taste of Durban's Facebook page too.
DeleteMust agree that Johnny's Chip & Cheese Roti (with curry gravy) are legendary. Hard to think of Durban's culinary delights without sparing a thought to this monstrous meal.
ReplyDeleteThanks Heidi! They are pretty hard to beat and a true Durban favourite!
