Pairing Bunny Chow correctly — a note on Pinotage wine

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Bunny Chow. I ordered it with Pinotage wine and the sweet-tangy from chutney elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. braai wood and coals in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Cape Malay cuisine reflects the heritage of enslaved people brought from Southeast Asia. The a weekend braai is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Bunny Chow with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
