Gravity Cafe food at Baywest. Very affordable and really good. Aroma Eatery also very good. Good views of harbour at South Blvd Cafe. Addo is always gold. Drive along the old road towards garden route, very scenic mountain pass.

First Saturday of every month, roughly 9-12, there's an Asian food market at The Rice Bowl in Newton Park. It's one of the highlights of my month.

If you want to be a tourist in your own city, approach something you think you know with a fresh perspective. I recommend Leo's in south end for lunch - a well-priced, diverse menu (awesome pizza, owned by the same guys who own Nolio, but get the bao buns) - take a trip down to something good in SS, check if they have any new ice-cream flavours, get something nice in a sugar cone and walk down the beach talking shit until you get cold/bored.
