Uh huh. And someone was calling me out for drinking like a 20something
but seriously how can you not get some of their amazing wine when in African wine mecca?!
Well technically I did share the bottle eventually with Jason. A girl in her 40's has to have some semblance of pacing
But yes their wine is awesome and love how good the staff is at helping you navigate it
So very jealous. Our dessert here last time was a bust, as you might recall. We accidentally ordered the no-sugar-added dessert. This sounds much more like what we were hoping to receive!!!
I do remember the dreaded no sugar dessert. I think we'd only ever had dessert here once and as I have no memory of it I'm going to go with it was unmemorable. But this one was a real winner. At the same time it was complex and subtle and pretty darn perfect
Ahh I love a good bold spicy Shiraz, goes wonderfully with beef and potatoes! The food looks very delicious at Jiko, we took a look at Jiko when we were there, however did not try it. It is relaxing when your dining reservation is just steps away from your room. Looking forward to more good eats!
I'm right there with you. In fact my desire for the wine may have driven my actual order. I prefer seafood to beef on most days, but of course like red wine over white. Oh the choices I must make
Jiko has always been appealing to me...looks like a delicious meal!
You should definitely check it out. Without question it is the one signature that has never disappointed us. Its almost always in our top 3. We laid off it for a while just because the menu hadn't changed over much, so we were pleasantly surprised to find a lot of new items.
Slap Chips sound like something you get for doing good in your Fight Club. You know, if you belonged to a Fight Club. But the way you describe them sounds good, too! Eventually we'll get to Jiko and your dessert is making me want to go tomorrow! Literally TOMORROW since I'm chillin' in bed at the WL as I write this
but really it sounds amazing. We had two amazing desserts tonight at Tiffins but yours is quite intriguing.
Oh, tell Casey 1. Tinkerbell looks adorable in her hair and 2. PEACE
You know the first rule in fight club is you don't talk about fight club or slap chips Ariane
Can't wait to hear all about your trip. Hope you made it over to Jiko, you would not regret it!
LOL! Your food/booze notes are always the best
Looks like a fabulous meal with a perfect commute time to/from your room!
Yeah, I always like to go back and look at my note and try to decipher what i wrote. I type them in my phone so booze combined with already bad typing can make them quite entertaining, even for those of us who lived through it
Now if only all my meals could come with a commute like that
I have arrived, and with only 3 missed updates! Not to far behind!
Omg I was dying hand sanitizer, was it at least in a cute Mickey shaped bottle or something???
As always love your food pics, even if the mac and cheese didn't look that great the rest did!
I'm excited to hear about the rest of the trip!
Hi there Lauren! Hope you and the family are doing well.
You will be very proud to know Casey's hand sanitizer was Elsa and it came with a clip on it so she keeps on her backpack so she can put it on before and after school
Great reviews! And no judgement here on ordering a bottle of wine for yourself..errrr I mean the 2 of you
Ah, thanks for not judging. And really I did share the wine, I promise
Mmmm. I miss Shiraz. I gave up on red wine after my teeth took on a greyish hue. I can have about one glass before my mouth turns purple. I love a really peppery red.
Mine does the exact same thing, but when choosing between my teeth and red wine you'll never guess who won
I'm sure my 70 year old denture wearing self will be thrilled with that decision
Love the review of Jiko and the whole bottle of Shiraz.
It's on our list for this coming trip since we are staying at AKL and for DS 13, it's a must every trip. I love their short rib... so tender and kick of spicy from sambal.
Awesome, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!!!!
. But I can't stay away long!
