Out of Africa Restaurant

I have heard a bit about a restaurant in PJ owned by some South Africans reputably serving authentic southern African cuisine…….in Malaysia. I have met the chef/owner before and I have been very curious so we finally made it down there last night. We don’t usually go out to dinner mid week however as Lina is working for much of this coming weekend, we made an exception. The restaurant is situated in a run down ex-sports complex with an Olympic sized pool that has seen better days. Seating was available outside in an open courtyard that is very inviting on a beautifully warm tropical evening.

The service was spot on and we all had our full of meat as is the South African way. This place is quite popular with expats who live out in PJ with a bar attached that is affiliated with a couple of local sports teams. I had the chicken livers to start followed by an ostrich schnitzel, while Lina had the Biltong Caesar salad (Lina is a huge fan of biltong which is unsurprisingly difficult to get here…..seen any cows lately!) with the lamb chops as a main. A dessert was shared and we were stuffed. To top it off, this place has a playground which attracts many families so keeping the little fella amused was a piece of cake. He had a great time and we didn’t need to resort to the portable DVD player! Another good find for some distinctly un-Asian, hearty, red blooded food. I forgot my camera so these shots are down loaded from their web site. I am still trying to get into the habit of taking the camera out.
