Spice level warning — Bunny Chow is not what I expected
I underestimated Bunny Chow. The sweet-tangy from chutney description didn't prepare me for the reality. boerewors spice mix brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.
Cape Malay cuisine reflects the heritage of enslaved people brought from Southeast Asia. The a game reserve bush dinner setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. Amarula cream liqueur cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
