ugust is one of my favourite months… the weather is unpredictable and the end of the year is looming. More importantly, National Women’s Day is in August, and that’s a day I take quite seriously. If you’re a regular reader of this page, you’ll know that my siblings and I were raised by a single mum. Life has kicked her down numerous times, but she continues to pick herself up, dust herself off and come out swinging. When I think of ‘powerful women’, many examples come to mind - but my mother is at the forefront. She is a survivor, a fighter… she is Wonder Woman. And she has raised an Amazonian warrior. We’ve tried to dedicate our August issue to powerful woman across the globe, and we’ve featured a few influential women that reside right here in Jozi. We spent seven minutes with the incredibly stylish, oh-so-influential Luyanda Madonia, so be sure to flip to the back page and read our interview with her. Beauty and brains come together in our small feature on the gorgeous Lerato Malatjie, who is our reigning Miss Regal International South Africa. Certainly not least, highlighted in our People of Joburg column is the sensational vocalist Ashlinn Gray. This singer, songwriter, actress and motivational speaker – although young – is well on her way to becoming an internationally recognized artist. Our beauty section is an absolute treat this month… we’ve sussed out three fabulous spas you must visit for the ultimate pamper session, and each of them has heavenly products to stock up on. Our resident fitness guru has narrowed down a few easy steps to help you lose 5kgs – without having to sacrifice everything you love, and our beauty editor’s Lust List will make you fall in love with all things gold. Our calendar is filled with wild and wonderful things to keep you entertained throughout the month, including a few special Women’s Day events. There’s never a dull day in Jozi! To the women of Johannesburg, South Africa, and the world… you are amazing. You are life itself. Hold your head up high, and never let anyone tell you that you are less than perfect. Here’s to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them. xxx

he healthy food craze hit us like a bomb - a superfood explosion to be exact. While we’re all about this health trend, we’re also sceptical about who’s deceitful and who’s honest. Drumroll please… for the newly opened, adorably quaint Honest Café!

Located in the Lynn estates property at One Hyde Park, this eatery is everything that’s right with the world. Plus, they sure know how to make a good ol’ avo smash on toast.

with berries, rooibos tea, baobab and honey is sweetly sublime. Only all natural sugars like honey are used, so if you’re a sugar fanatic, this ain’t the spot for you!

They serve some of the most, hearty health food in the city, and they also produce superfood coffee! This caffeine fix comes served in two varieties. The first is a blend of cinnamon, cacao maca and honey cappuccino. The second is a turmeric, cinnamon and honey cappuccino. Order the latter before dining, and the other after your meal - you won’t regret it. Now, the Impressed superfood smoothies and juices. There are five smoothies and five juices to choose from. The Pressed Scarlet with red pepper, orange and mint is healthtastic, whilst the Anti smoothie, packed

Everything is ethically sourced and only the finest, freshest ingredients are used, and the least amount of plastics consumed. The Honest Cafe is a second from the chain. The first store opened at the Gautrain station. This newly opened arm is small and intimate, making it the ideal brunch date.

f you’re looking for the perfect cup o’ joe, look no further! Our all-time favourite coffee spot has launched a brand-new concept store - Naked Kitchen in Morningside Centre.

The coffee culture in Jozi has explode and we now understand what true, authentic coffee is supposed to taste like. No need for superficial additives and preservatives, this coffee doesn’t even require a teaspoon of sugar. We’re going to say it; Naked Coffee quite possibly has our favourite cappuccino in the city! It’s vital we select only the finest, freshest blends and Naked Coffee hits all the right spots. Delicate and moderate, their coffee is velvety smooth, rich in texture and has the perfect acidity to make each cup pop. Whether you like it straight up, in a macchiato or even a cortado, you’ll Hello Joburg • August 2017 • Hellojoburg.co.za

be pleasantly impressed. Next time you’re there, order the magic coffee. The store packs a punch with its modern design. It screams ‘coffice’ and is ideal for a regular readathon, especially since it’s next door to Exclusive Books. If you’re up for a fierce Friday, join them for cocktail hour - the kitchen is open until 8pm! With all this caffeinating, you’re bound to build up an appetite. We’re certain their gluten free banana bread will hit the sweet spot. Perhaps a Matcha laced white chocolate croissant is more to your liking. How about the coconut croissant with roasted nuts? Unlike their Melrose Arch branch, this store has its own kitchen; which means daily, freshly baked goodies and deli-style food. From chilli con carne and roasted butternut, to kitka bread with homemade hummus - its quick and easy dining, just the way we like it.

Mishqah AshlinnParthiephal Gray

n the quiet suburb of Bedfordview lies a strip of old and new restaurants, filled with locals. Van Buuren street has transformed into a precinct, popular thanks to various specialist eateries, such as the 17-year-old Yamatsuki Restaurant! JUNGLE SUSHI AND TEPPANYAKI IS THE GO-TO FOR GREAT SUSHI You may walk past while looking for it, because as usual, we South Africans were looking for a modern designed, specialist restaurant that has someone waiting by the door to usher us in. Though the décor is simplistic, the food here is made fresh using traditional methods. Did we mention that this is all done in front of you? The fan favourite is the salmon roses and prawn teppanyanki, but the prawns were so good, we bought more servings to go! The plan was not to cook the next day but, those yummy creatures didn’t survive the night. A great Japanese joint to eat at, no mater how sophisticated a palate you may have! 5 Van Buuren Road, Key West Center, Bedfordview, | 1 010 500 6268

OSTERIA ROSSA DOES PIZZA RIGHT! The best kind of pizza is one with lesser ingredients and a balance of base and toppings, wouldn’t you agree? This is why we love Osteria Rossa. The idea of more is better dies as soon as you grab a taste of the tonno pizza - topped with mozzarella, tomato, tuna, onion and capers, it is heavenly! There’s a lot to say about the food here, but the simple pizza we tried was nothing short of amazing! Bedford Village, Corner of Van Buuren & Nicol Drive, Bedfordview | 1 011 455 5911

PAN-ASIAN DELICACY IS NOT A TREND, BUT A LIFESTYLE IN BEDFORDVIEW

Words Ashley Thekiso

Like many places in the area, Yamtsuki’s regulars are locals, and you realise as you walk in how beautiful the atmosphere is, with everyone greeting, laughing and smiling. It wouldn’t be an Asian place without sushi, but this isn’t average sushi… some of the pieces here have strawberries! The recent menu change means they added more variations. We were impressed to see how they’ve maintained the same setting they had when the venue opened their doors in 2000, bringing an Asian dining style with the old school flair and conveyer belt service to the area. To drink: It’s said that when in a place, do as the locals do. In this Japanese joint, its green tea that goes down well with their Dim Sum, served in a variation of sauces. 55 Van Buuren Road, Bedfordview | 1 011 455 0380

From South Africa, KLM operates daily direct flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town to Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, using Boeing 777 aircrafts. Passengers can transfer quickly and easily at Schiphol, KLM’s home base, onto the world with KLM’s tightly-knit, worldwide network that it has built up with its partners. KLM offers Economy and World Business Class cabins of travel, and with KLM, your journey is just as important as getting there. That’s why they do their very best to make your trip an inspired one.

Words Supplied Images Supplied

Launched for the first time on flights between Amsterdam and Johannesburg on 1 July 2017, KLM introduced a new World Business Class inflight service called ‘Anytime for you’.

K

LM Royal Dutch Airlines was founded on 7 October, 1919 to serve the Netherlands and its colonies. Today, it is the oldest airline still operating under its original name. KLM has been part of the Air France KLM group since the merger in 2004.

‘Anytime for you’ offers KLM World Business Class passengers the possibility of ordering meals of their choice during their flight to and from Johannesburg. These delicious meals will be prepared on board, and served restaurant style. The new service aims to give passengers a wider choice and a greater sense of control. ‘Anytime for you’ offers passengers a number of fantastic options… Choice and control KLM aims to offer its passengers an excellent travel experience on every journey. This also means the possibility of responding to personal preferences and taking biorhythms into account.

With ‘Anytime for you’, KLM aims to meet travellers’ individual wishes. Extra dishes! Passengers are presented with the divine menu shortly after take-off. This menu contains the regular three-course menu and the ‘Anytime for you’ menu – which offers a choice of eight different dishes: cold and hot, savoury and sweet, healthy and a ‘naughty treat’. Passengers can choose the regular three-course menu, or skip this option entirely if they wish. In both cases, they may select from the ‘Anytime for you’ menu after the three-course menu. Once a selection from the ‘Anytime for you’ menu has been made, it can be prepared and served at any time the passenger wants during the flight - with no extra cost! A memorable experience With the ‘Anytime for you’ on-board service, KLM aim to give their passengers a unique restaurant-style experience. The extra care and attention provided by KLM’s cabin crew make this a personal and flexible product. Two extra pamper moments Two extra service moments have been introduced with ‘Anytime for you’… passengers are offered a small appetizer when they come on board, and the cabin staff will serve a healthy energy-boosting drink just before landing. The ‘Anytime for you’ service concept will be phased in on various flights. To book and experience World Business Class and the ‘Anytime for you’ product, KLM invite you to visit their website, call, or send them an email. Moving your world, by creating memorable experiences, they are KLM for you. 5 www.klm.co.za 1 0860 247 747 8 esales.za@klm.com

shopping REVOLT-UTIONARY! Fun, funky fashion

W

omen of Jozi, rejoice! Now your fiery, feminine, incredibly fierce inside can match the feisty outside. And it’s all thanks to self-made fashion entrepreneur, Luyanda Madonia’s hot new online fashion brand - Revolt Clothing.

The Autumn/Winter 2017 collection is all unconventional silhouettes, mixed prints and textiles with feminine but bold touches. Revolt Clothing means that local women can get their hands on internationally inspired faux furs jackets, pleated skirts and trousers, wide legged crop pants, playsuits and so much more. Madonia explained that the main incentive for starting the brand was to bridge the gap for South African women and their accessibility to global, hand selected clothing and

fashion items. Revolt is specifically designed for woman who use fashion to enhance their presence and express their emotions, and to ensure that women are not limited to gendered guidelines. To say that we’re more than a little bit obsessed with this brand would be putting it lightly. Some pieces fit right into our winter closet, while many others we’re putting aside for summer. We can’t wait to bring on the playsuits! Our favourite pieces!

Banish those winter blues with a très chic Joanne The Scammer faux fur coat, R610. Just FYI (we’re totally tickled by this), there’s also a fabulous powder pink Wannabe faux fur vest, R430. Black velvet, if you please… Gothic never look as good as it does in this black Finesse velvet pleated midi skirt with a metallic sheen, R490.

A match made in heaven! We love a beige HBIC top, R210, coupled with incredibly trendy HBIC pants, R210.

H

done right!

A fusion of fine flavour

Situated inside the Mad Giant Brewery, Urbanologi is all sorts of funky! With wide open spaces and fun Meccano inspired furniture, this place is industrial chic at its best. Decked out in red and grey, with what look like giant cogs used as chandeliers, the restaurant fits right into the 1 Fox venue.

20

so sharing is key - which works well because the portions are so generous! The menu is divided into categories; Raw, Fried, Kushiyaki, Steamed, Cured and Frozen. We highly recommend you order a plate from each one. We started with the Deep-Fried Potatoes with a seaweed emulsion, which will shock your taste buds. The wedges are perfectly crisp and seasoned, while the emulsion is creamy and full of flavor, with a slight smoky aftertaste. We had to stop ourselves from scooping it out with our fingers.

Not only are the staff incredibly friendly, but they know exactly what’s potting when it comes to the menu, which serves Urban Garde Cuisine. In fact, our very attentive waiter Adrian recommended the dishes we already had our heart set on – and A definite must-try is the Venison Carpaccio; served with miso salt, they did not disappoint. baby spinach and crispy leeks, The dishes are tapas inspired, the meat is sensationally soft, and Hello Joburg • August 2017 • Hellojoburg.co.za

those crisp leeks add an exciting texture that the dish needs. We recommend you spread that miso salt onto every piece of carpaccio, because it heightens the entire dish. Next up, the Crispy Dropped Black Pepper Pork Belly, served with a tamarind dressing, butternut puree, cucumber and a smoked peanut crumb. The dressing packs quite a punch, but the combination of the peanut, pork and butternut flavours are an absolute delight – and the cucumber is a refreshing break from the powerful dressing. Our dish of the day had to be the picture perfect Crumbed Line Caught Chokka. It’s served with kimchi, burnt lime and a garlic

emulsion, but it’s the burnt lime that we couldn’t get enough of. It’s the most unexpected flavor… so powerful, so punchy – it knocks your socks right off. You’ve got to try this one at least once! If you’re looking for an out-ofthis-world dining experience, then this is the place to go. Bring your friends and family, spread the word – because this place is the bee’s knees in our opinion. 1 Fox Street, Ferreirasdorp, Johannesburg. 5 www.urbanologi.co.za 1 011 492 0901 t @UrbanologiFood f @urbanologi @urbanologi

T

he first thing you’ll notice about Justine other than her awesome trademark braids - is her age. Make no mistake, this young up and comer has worked at some of the top restaurants in Joburg, and has an enviable resume to her name already. Justine heads up the kitchen at Lima Tapas Bar in Montecasino (as well as its sister restaurant Milk and Honey, also in Montecasino). Lima has just celebrated its first birthday, and has become known on the foodie scene as a ‘must try’ dining experience, and for good reason! An artful blend of South American fusion foods… think nacho’s, espetada and sushi all on one menu. Due to the mix of cultures in South America, this amazing amalgamation of cultures offers so much for Justine, and the kitchen team at Lima’s to play with. Growing up in East London, Justine’s childhood memories are steeped in food - preparing it and sharing family meals with her extended family over the weekends. It was while she was studying to be an accountant at the University of Johannesburg that she realised number crunching wasn’t for her.

22

Not knowing what to do next, she took some time off to travel around South Africa and get some clarity. Hello Joburg • August 2017 • Hellojoburg.co.za

It was upon her return to Joburg that she headed off to study at Capsicum in Sunninghill. 18 months later, she took her first training position at The Maslow Hotel, followed by a stint at Four Seasons the Westcliff. Next stop was DW Eleven-13, and it was here that her talent was recognised. Before she knew what was happening, she found herself part of the Lima’s team. So how on earth does she manage to juggle two kitchens at once? With a big laugh, she admits that it’s a labour of love, but if it’s your true passion, it’s no issue. She also jokingly adds that she’s going to get a Segway to zoom between the two! We kind of love that idea! Justine loves the pressure and the rush of a busy kitchen. “All these people are here to eat my food. It’s show time now! When the pass is pumping and I’m plating up, I know that I have to deliver perfectly, and I love that,” she says with a grin.

JUSTINE JOSEPH

Head Chef at Lima Tapas Bar

Her favourite dish on Lima’s menu is, without a doubt, the paella. It’s the dish that possibly challenged Justine the most - a recipe that she’s developed and changed until it is now, in her mind, the perfect paella. It’s made up of Justine’s heart and soul. On her day off, you’ll find Justine either at the boxing gym, playing with her puppy Doughnut or trying out the food at different restaurants. We look forward to seeing great things in the future from Justine, and we know she’ll deliver!

Glenda Lederle from Glenda’s Season Restaurant

G

lenda’s love affair with food began between the pages of a magazine in the 1970’s, with her mother’s monthly delivery of Gourmet magazine from the United States. Not being a cook herself, her mother followed the glossy recipes meticulously. Glenda fell in love with these beautiful meals, prepared with precision and love. She carried this passion until she opened her chic, French-styled restaurant and bakery, The Patisserie in Illovo, followed by her seasonal eclectic eatery, Glenda’s in Hyde Park. She spent two years travelling the world and training in enviable establishments, including ‘The Red Rooster’ in New York, to the acclaimed ‘Petersham Nursery’ and the internationally renowned ‘River Café’ in London. She also trained at the ‘Four Seasons’ Michelin starred restaurant in Berlin.

Inspired by her father (who isn’t in the industry, but has a palpable passion for food), Glenda loves to bounce her ideas off a handful of cooks in London. She holds their opinions close to her heart, as they’re on the same page, and share her endeavors in innovation when it comes to eating. From her very first preparation, Glenda has had a love and respect for a host of incredible women in the industry, including Ruth Rogers of the iconic British Italian restaurant, The River Café. Ruth also uses fresh, seasonal elements to produce magic on her menu. Glenda would love to eat a plate prepared by April Bloomfield of Spotted Pig, who shares her philosophy and has written ‘A girl and her greens - heart meals from the garden’ as well as ‘A girl and her pig’. Glenda believes that women have a special skill of bringing a sense of calmness to the kitchen, but are challenged by the longterm investment of being a restaurateur when it comes to growing a family.

Need to know!

Budgetarian Breakfast Buffet – Adults R99. Pensioners R69. Children aged 6 to 11 years R49. Mahala for children under 5. Budgetarian Lunch Buffet – Adults R199. Pensioners R159. Children aged 6 to 11 years R99. Mahala for children under 5. Valid until 31 August. 5 www.moyo.com 1 011 646 0058

he much-loved, authentically African Moyo Zoo Lake has introduced the Moyo Budgetarian Buffet. We don’t habitually promote buffet-style dining, but this is an exception, because the quality of food is excellent!

The selection is impressive (especially for vegetarians), has great value for money, and each dish is simply delicious. The sweet potato bake is rich and wholesome, the peri-peri chicken liver pot is packed with flavour and the venison potjie is to-die-for. The restaurant is a little hideout nestled under the trees, overlooking the water. It’s relaxing listening to the sounds of live music and quacking ducks. ‘Winter’ in Jozi means we usually have beautiful sunshine, so this makes an ideal spot for the family!

Breakfast: Expect heavenly flapjacks, waffles and cereals like muesli, all bran flakes and putu pap. There’s a selection of Indezi cheese with melba toast and bread, and freshly made muffins with fresh fruit. On the hot side, there’s succulent streaky bacon, lamb sausages and peri-peri chicken livers for the carnivores. For vegetarians, there are spicy baked beans and eggs of your choice. Lunch: Expect hot and cold starters, a selection of salads, and a vast array of sides. Tagines and potjies, Shisa nyama, and the most fabulous live cooking station. Our fave was the seared calamari sautéed with olives, broccoli and garlic, drizzled with lemony harissa butter. Luxurious desserts include divine banoffee, traditional Koeksisters, and bread and butter pudding.

FUNCTIONS & EVENTS: with a difference

The perfect venue for corporate functions, product launches and private parties. Ranging from birthdays, bachelors and bachelorettes to weddings. The Corona Jazz Sessions are back on 2 August, with Vuma Levin and his Jazz Band. After just returning from his European tour, playing at the North Sea Jazz Festival and the launch of his new album, Vuma will host the jazz sessions every Wednesday night (2 August onwards) at Stanley Beer Yard.

flamboyant ingredients. It has just enough choice and just enough fancy. Jamie’s is all about delicious, fresh food, made with the best ingredients. Porcini Fettuccine is our go-to dish – it’s all about the homemade-style pasta, with just four ingredients; flour, free-range eggs, semolina and water. Another inspiration is their famous prawn linguine. No bells and whistles, just pure delicious flavours of fennel, garlic, saffron and hints of simple sweetness from the prawn. Now the showstopper… you’ve never had a brownie like the ‘Epic Chocolate Brownie’. With a nuance of richness and chocolate heaven, this dish is a victory. If the sound of amaretto ice cream and caramelized amaretti popcorn, engulfed by two giant chocolate packages gets you excited, then join the club. Ten out of ten on the yummy scale!

FAIRLAWNS SPA AT THE FAIRLAWNS BOUTIQUE HOTEL A Saturday well spent brings a week of content! Romantic Sunset Retreat treatment (2 hours) This favoured destination is almost too special, but we had to share it. This spot has a permanent sunnyside-up ambience and top-notch quality service. The proximity to nature is paramount to this property, which has just been newly renovated. The green spaces and landscaped touches uplift the atmosphere, and add an extra touch of character.

1 Alma Road, Johannesburg. 5 www.fairlawnshotel.co.za 1 011 808 7300 @fairlawnsboutiquehotel

The property consists of the boutique hotel, which includes the Grand Chateau wing, which offers 20 suites, 12 newly refurbished courtyard suites, and 6 exquisite villa suites. It also includes the Spa at Fairlawns and the five star Amuse Bouche restaurant, as well as the casual Manor House bistro. We highly recommend you book yourselves in for a night or three to explore all this spot has to offer. Familiar with the term ‘hygga’? Allow us to elaborate. ‘Hygga is

about giving your responsible, stressed-out achiever adult a break,’ as explained by Meik Wiking. Hello Joburgers, we could all do with a little more hygga in our lives. Cue the Fairlawns. Picture an urban oasis amongst bamboo forests and charismatic gardens. Go for the Romantic Sunset Retreat treatment – with a magical outdoor bubble bath (in complete privacy, of course), and a bottle of champers. Followed by a restorative full body massage that will create contentment like never before. Expect specialized therapists and five-star services as you enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Choose ambience over excitement in this truly calming space, which is totally off the grid. Then maneuver up towards the Amuse Bouche restaurant, where you’ll indulge in a three-course meal. Delicately cured salmon with cucumber spaghetti, followed by an indulgent pearl barley broccoli and ricotta dish, with charred baby leaks. End off with vanilla and chia crème with uji-matcha and fresh fruit touches. Magnificent! Hello Joburg • August 2017 • Hellojoburg.co.za

No cuts, no buts, no coconuts. If someone skipped the line, speak up. Bar staff like to be fair.

Bar staff deserve your respect. Snapping fingers and waving hands aren’t going to bring them running to serve you. “Have an idea of what you’re looking for. We’re happy to assist if you’re wanting to discover something new, but don’t wait for us to serve you before you decide what you feel like,” says Nicholas Crouse from Lucky Shaker in Umhlanga.

2 3 4

Returns are welcome

Bringing back your empty glasses may win you favour, or two.

Don’t flash your cash

This is pretty obvious. However, having your payment ready is a big help and makes the process go faster. Bar staff are busy people! “Leaving a good tip goes a long way, too,” says Julian Short from Sin+Tax in Johannesburg.

5

Be loud and proud

We don’t mean loud as in scream your order in the poor bartenders face. We mean stand out. Being tall helps, but wearing a distinctive top or hat will give you an advantage.

44

SECRETS FOR A QUICK SERVE

No chatty Cathy’s

Talking to your friend might make the time fly, but you’d better be ready when the bartender asks for your order. Don’t ‘uhm’ and ‘aah’ – take the time in line to decide what you’re thirsty for.

Hello Joburg • August 2017 • Hellojoburg.co.za

Don’t be a pushover

L

Straight from the mouths of actual bar staff!

ife is better with a drink in hand, correct? However, we all know that getting the attention of your favourite bartender can sometimes prove tricky. Shaun Stemmett, brand manager for Monkey Shoulder gave us a few tips…

All about eye contact

Staring is a no-no, but solid eye contact can be effective. It also helps the stream of communication across a bustling bar.

8

Be charming

Flashing a big grin and being polite will certainly help. “Someone who is visibly expected to get a drink from you, will usually get my attention quicker,” says Tinashe Motsi from Orphanage Cocktail Emporium in Cape Town.

9

Front and center!

Stand directly in front of the bar staff and look friendly. If there are two people serving, try and stand between them.

10

Don’t linger

Chatting to someone who’s just been served is also a big no. You’re clogging up the line and wasting people’s time. Grab your order and head back out the party. Or you can just do what you like and not worry about the odd extra minute in your favourite bar. 5 www.monkeyshoulder.com t @MonkeyShoulder3 @monkeyshoulder3

A STEADY STREAM ver find yourself clicking through the channels and find you have nothing to watch? Fortunately, streaming is fast becoming a standard medium of entertainment. The best part is the nature of ‘on demand’ that streaming brings to the table.

South Africa has some top contenders for streaming, but there are a few others coming up through the ranks. Here are our top picks…

50

NETFLIX SA Netflix is the global leader in streaming video, but it’s limited in SA compared to the rest of the world. However, the catch-up is happening fast, with more content being added to the rosters. It ranges from R100 to R200 per month (in light of exchange rates and the 3 different packages). As a stream-only service, you’ll always have to be connected to the internet. Netflix SA offers a 1 month free trial too! 5 www.netflix.com/za Hello Joburg • August 2017 • Hellojoburg.co.za

SHOWMAX When Netflix hit our shores, Showmax had already started to pave the way for video services, and still retain most of the rights to major TV Shows in SA. Showmax currently has the largest bank of content. You can download shows and movies to watch offline! Right now, it’s the leader in SA - if you don’t mind missing out on Netflix originals. Showmax offers a two-week free trial period, and charge a R99/month subscription fee, so they’re lightest on the pocket. 5 www.showmax.com AMAZON PRIME VIDEO Amazon Prime will cost you $5.99 per month, but the first 6 months will only cost $2.99. The content on Amazon Prime isn’t as extensive as Netflix or Showmax, but they’re heading in the right direction and have originals like The Grand Tour and Sneaky Pete (which we love!). However, some of the listed content isn’t available in SA due to licences. You can download shows and movies to watch offline and they also have a free trial period. 5 www.primevideo.com

DEOD (DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT ON DEMAND) DEOD is fairly new and has a different approach, offering their own TV channels alongside movies and TV shows, such as BBC News and Bloomberg. The service also carries a few ‘videocasts’, such as getting highlights of the ICC Champions Trophy or ATP tennis, and more. It’s a great choice if you don’t have DSTV, but the selection of TV shows and movies isn’t in competition with Showmax and Netflix yet. 5 www.deod.tv ITUNES AND GOOGLE PLAY These services come pretty much standard on their respective iOS and Android devices, and offer a smaller experience to streaming and video on demand. iOS has no TV Shows in the SA store yet, but the library is bigger than Google Play. The content can be a bit limited, but the services work on a rental and purchase systems - no subscription necessary! 5 www.apple.com/itunes 5 www.play.google.com

You cannot fathom the beauty of this place, but whilst you’re attempting to, stop at their spa. Otherworldly and world-class, it’s here that you’ll find proof that nobody does hospitality quite like Lanzerac. Book a 60-minute massage with a manicure or pedicure, and prepare to be spoiled. The spa has been rebuilt and redesigned since Hello Joburg • August 2017 • Hellojoburg.co.za

the refurbishment, so it’s bigger and better. The facilities include four mini manicure and pedicure treatment stations, two relaxation areas, two Rasul chambers - complete with sensation shower, an in-door heated swimming pool, saunas, steam rooms, and mist rooms to help guests cool down, as well as seven therapy rooms. After your spa treatment, relish in a cellar tour and wine tasting. Relax and have a glass of their finest blends and varietals. Order your all-time favorite or allow the knowledgeable staff to educate you, and walk you through the Lanzerac range. Start with the MCC Blanc de Blancs Brut, which boasts creamy, biscuit notes. Follow this with the beautiful blend Le Général 2014, which is made from 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 7% Pinotage, 13% Shiraz, 7% Malbec and 7% Petit Verdot. Finish off with the pretty Pionier Pinotage 2014, which allows for a full-bodied earthiness with cherry fruit flavors. And buy a bottle or three for the rest of your trip! 5 www.lanzerac.co.za

They also have a Finnish Sauna and Jacuzzi to enjoy, and two welcoming hosts Stephen and Jackie, to assist with anything you need. You cannot visit the Hideaway and not indulge in their golden Yoga retreats. Marlien Wright hosts the two-night retreats, and she’s a delight. Not only is she a yoga instructor but she’s also the chef ! Expect glorious restorative yoga sessions, vegan meals, green smoothies, vegetarian curries, and simply a much-needed escape from daily life. Yoga retreats for 2017 11 to 13 August; 15 to 17 September; 20 to 22 October and 10 to 12 November.

DELAIRE GRAFF ESTATE IN STELLENBOSCH

5 www.hideawaybb.co.za 5www.yogakitchen.co.za

You absolutely must visit the restaurant on the estate for a luncheon; it’s a worthy introduction into the Cape Town foodie scene. With an enticing fire in winter, and a splendid outdoor seating area under the sunshine in summer, this location is fit for any season.

SOUTHERN SUN CAPE SUN AND THE SOUTHERN SUN THE CULLINAN IN CAPE TOWN CBD, AND SUNSQUARE CAPE TOWN GARDENS For the rest of your stay, we recommend you book into one of our alltime favorite Tsogo Sun Cape Town properties. Affordable, luxurious and with great value for money, there isn’t much we don’t love about the Tsogo Sun legacy. With spa experiences, five-star dining and elegant bars, each hotel has its own character and charm. P.S Keep an eye out for Tsogo Sun's brand new development - The Sun Square Cape Town City Bowl, and the Stay Easy Cape Town City Bowl. These will cater to business and leisure travellers, and allow for high-level service and first-class amenities. 5 www.tsogosun.com

This location invites you to open a bottle of wine and toast the spectacular surroundings. Delaire Graff Estate is a paradise. Manicured gardens, an impressive vegetable garden, majestic views and glorious vineyards, this is one of the finest estates in the Cape. From prime accommodation and glorious spa, to dandy wine tastings… this estate has it all and then some!

Vibrant colors, aesthetically pleasing and bold luscious flavors, the food is as hypnotizing as the environment. The menu is shaped by the seasons, and with appetizers like squid ink cured yellowtail, and seared sesame crusted tuna with chilled vichyssoise, it’s a perfect gastronomic experience. Try the tarragon gnocci with summer vegetable fricassee, sauce soubise, kale, mushroom and decadent brie arancini. Or indulge in the rib eye of beef with a side of truffle and parmesan chips, aioli and soft-boiled egg. The real surprise is the amount of space left for dessert once you read about the Peanut Butter Parfait, with banana sherbet and stout cake… its sublime! This is the type of restaurant where you didn’t think you needed an extra glass of Cab Sav, but it’s already arrived. You don’t have to think or ponder, you simply have to indulge. So, if you are wondering where the connoisseurs are dining - this is it! 5 www.delaire.co.za Hello Joburg • August 2017 • Hellojoburg.co.za

THE MESS RESTAURANT IN GREENPOINT Here you’ll dine under the stars, not knowing the time and not even caring, as you tuck into delicious bao sliders. This is where things get messy in the best possible way. This casual yet stylish, trendy style of dining is here to stay and we’re huge fans. There’s no glitz and glam, no splashy ingredients, no flashy settings, but rather an uber chic, well-groomed and charismatic ambience. The finest dish must be the spicy squid taco with smokey mayo. Crunchy, fresh and wholesome, we could have eaten five in a row, but this is a sharing plates kind of dining. Order the Cape Malay vegetable curry, soft shell crab, with an order of yoghurt and thyme flatbreads, accompanied by a white bean and tahini pate and a side of creamy polenta… because why not? 5 www.themess.co.za

LA PARADA TAPAS RESTAURANT IN CAMPS BAY La Parada captures the very essence of beach-style dining on the bustling strip of Camps Bay. Better reserve a table at this fancy little eatery, because it’s a haunt you won’t want to leave. They have an incredible selection of cocktails at affordable prices. Order a jug of the white sangria, or opt for the mango thyme aromatic mule or even a firm favourite, the refreshing Pina Colada. Sit back and marvel at the passersby, confirming their envy at your front row seat overlooking Camps Bay Beach. You’ll get the ‘I feel at home and relaxed’ vibe at this spot, and you will feel right at home… only there’s the colossal, turquoise blue watermark in front of you. This is the spot where all the hippest Capetonians and the trendiest internationals are dining at, and returning to. The secret must be in the food. Order to share - the tapas style charred octopus, the salt and pepper fried calamari, the marinated prawns, the cauliflower puree and the thyme and honey roasted butternut. Leave space for the apple and walnut baked donut, served with a coconut macaron, butterscotch sauce, pistachio and divine chocolate ganache. 5 www.laparada.co.za

FABER AT AVONDALE FARM IN PAARL Eric Bulpitt is a genius. His artistry and his team’s culinary craftsmanship is paramount to each dish. There’s nothing you won’t like about this dining experience - it’s as a picture, and your taste buds will be taken on a staggering flavorsome experience. Not only is every ingredient respected, but the emphasis is on enjoyment… enjoying each spoonful, every mouthful.

54

The menu changes with the seasons, and until 30 September there’s a winter lunch set menu available for just R250 per person. Order the five course Chef ’s Menu with an Avondale Wine Pairing, and you’re guaranteed to get more than you bargained for. Dishes like the whole cauliflower, which celebrates this vegetable in its entirety; roasted, velouté, fermented core and leaf ribs, the flavor will leave you speechless. You’ll never imagine a humble vegetable taking on so many flavors. There’s also a cured East Coast hake and moreish aged chalmar beef sirloin. With beautiful presentation and memorable dishes, this makes for the perfect outdoor date day or romantic dinner for two. 5 www.avondalewine.co.za Hello Joburg • August 2017 • Hellojoburg.co.za

WAVERLY HILLS ORGANIC WINE ESTATE IN TULBAGH 100% organic is music to our ears, which is why you just have to visit this stunning setting. Waverley Hills, situated in the winegrowing region of Tulbagh, established its first vines in 2000. It’s best known for producing organic wines, and the restaurant is known for its fine produce, fresh ingredients and unique characteristics. August is the perfect time to visit this space… the flowers are about to spring and the cool air has lifted, allowing for a sunshine filled lunch alongside fynbos and boundless mountain peaks. This restaurant is the definition of farm-style dining. The menu offers some of the greatest, heartiest treats. From the famous, lick-your-fingers fantastic pampoen koekies, drizzled with a thyme butterscotch sauce, to the butternut and roast onion soup with a cardamom rooibos dressing - this is your home away from home. For mains, a must-try is the delicate butter poached seabass with a tangy fennel lemon risotto, green beans and farm fresh tender stem broccoli. All accompanied by a glass of their elegant Viognier Semillon Chardonnay, recommended by Winemaker Johan Delport. You’ll be on cloud nine to wineville! 5 www.waverleyhills.co.za

Get dropped off on Bree street and take a walk, stopping at bars (you must try the Orphanage), artisanal eateries, juice bars and little boutique stores. You’ll stumble along a few hidden gems. Bike, run or stroll along the promenade. You’ll find some of the best views in the city, and don’t forget to stop for a selfie and an ice cream close to the Sea Point public swimming pool.

Hop on (and off) the Red City Bus. We recommend taking the sunset tour, which stops off on top of Signal Hill. It’s one of the most beautiful ways to see the city at dusk.

The Cape Town beaches are begging to be repeated, especially if you want to ditch the crowds. No trip to the Western Cape is complete without a morning beach walk, feeling the silky white sand between your toes and the icy cold water under your soles.

GO O D

We recommend going off the regular shores and trying Beta Beach in Bakoven, Sunset Beach in Blouberg and Platboom Beach or Diaz Beach in the Cape Point Nature Reserve.

Water restrictions are still in order, so save where you can.

Pack a picnic, put up your umbrella, open your preferred fiction and kick back.

TO KNOW

The average temperature is around 18 degrees Celsius.

7 minutes with Luyanda Madonia She’s feminine, she’s fierce and she covers all her bases. Luyanda is a blogger, social media influencer and founder and curator of fashion YouTube channel SilverwearsTV. She’s fast becoming a self-made fashion entrepreneur and we kind of love everything about her…

What does Women’s Month mean to you?

As a black woman, it means the struggle is still very real. It means there’s so much more to do, and it starts with me. The fight isn’t over – ‘A luta continua’.

Name three women, dead or alive, who motivate you.

My mother, Velile Sithole, takes positions 1 and 2. She is the ultimate boss lady. Number 3… All the black women on earth that fight the good fight for the human race everyday motivate me.

What makes a successful youtuber?

Being consistent, and collaborating with other Youtubers to get more exposure on their platforms. Being authentic, recognizing your voice and sticking to it.

What advice would you give to your 15-year-old self?

Save, save, save! The habit of saving money should be instilled at very early age. It should be part of your lifestyle. It’s hard to learn that as an adult. Oh, and girl, you are BEAUTIFUL!

Introvert or extrovert? I’m an extroverted introvert.

Top wellness tip?

You cannot leave the house without…

A form of identification (I watch too much CSI), money to get me out of any sticky situation, my cell phone and lipstick.

Your go to trend this season?

Faux Fur Coat and oversized denim jacket.
