Bunny Chow

I was looking forward to Bunny Chow here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The robust and satisfying character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with Mrs Ball's chutney or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

Bunny Chow here was solidly made — sweet-tangy from chutney without anything to complain about. braai wood and coals was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have. Cape Malay cuisine reflects the heritage of enslaved people brought from Sout…

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…

Some dishes exist to comfort and Bunny Chow is absolutely in that category. The sweet-tangy from chutney quality works on something almost primal — you feel the warmth of it immediately. braai wood and coals does work that no substitute can replicate. Cape Malay cuisine reflects the heritage of ens…

What sets Bunny Chow apart is the handling of boerewors spice mix. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the robust and satisfying result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience. the braai is a cross-cultural South African…

I spent an afternoon making Bunny Chow from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting boerewors spice mix right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The sweet-tangy from chutney result was rewarding once I got it right. the braai is a cross-cultural South African …

Bunny Chow at this place was fine. The smoky and braaied flavour was there but not distinguished. boerewors spice mix was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula. the braai is a cross-cultural South Afri…

I made Bunny Chow for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The spiced and savoury profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced braai wood and coals used that way before. Cape Malay cuisine reflects the heritage of …

The best Bunny Chow I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The smoky and braaied intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. boerewors spice mix was used without hesitation, the way it should be. Cape Malay cuisine reflects the heritage of enslaved people …

I had never tried Bunny Chow before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The smoky and braaied taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. boerewors spice mix is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before. The a weekend braai set…
