First time trying Bobotie — completely converted

I had never tried Bobotie before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The spiced and savoury taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. Mrs Ball's chutney is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

The a Cape Malay restaurant in Cape Town setting added something to the experience — this kind of food makes sense in that environment. the braai is a cross-cultural South African institution that transcends racial and social divides. My server recommended rooibos tea alongside and it was exactly right. I've been telling everyone to try Bobotie. Outstanding first encounter.
