True 2oceansvibers who are also following 2oceansvibe on Twitter, will know that we indulged in some pigeon for lunch the other day in Menerbes – South of France. It was my first time eating such a small bird (insert supermodel joke here) and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Here we have our neighbours, […]
Look, I’m certainly not distraught at being “stuck” in Provence for the next month, but I am somewhat “irked” that I am missing out on the winter specials going on at my primary residence, the Cape Royale hotel! In particular, at1800 Restaurant and Equinox spa! So I thought I better pop them up here for […]
I can imagine the students getting quite excited about this – hence the brands decision to enter the market in Rondebosch – UCT’s stomping ground. Like you, I too am wondering how glitter for your ass would differ from normal glitter. Or, more to the point, why is The Cartridge Factory Shop in Rondebosch selling […]
I don’t know what’s inside them, and I don’t care to be quite honest. But I can tell you right now that these little cookies are the hottest little things on the street at the moment. Apparently they’re available at the Woodstock market. All I know is The Muse got a whole bunch of them […]
In the space of one week, not one but two 2oceansvibers out there noticed that Pick n Pay Express stores are the latest outlets to offer Ass Flavoured foods. This, just a month after Fruit & Veg City jumped on the Ass Flavour bandwagon, with their ass flavoured subs and wraps. With ass cupcakes going […]
My love for specific brands and, in particular, Carmel Dill cucumbers (gherkins) are well documented on these, the hallowed pages of 2oceansvibe (here, here and here). The last time I chatted to the owner of the Camps Bay Friendly store, he informed me that part of the reason that he didn’t stock the STRONG Carmel […]
With our finger on the pulse of Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard, you can only imagine what an issue diet, health and looking good is. If they’re not running along the promenade or having sex in the Virgin Active gyms, they’re watching what they eat and, in particular, keeping an eye on those carbs! A new […]
Maybe not quite what you had in mind? But don’t fright – this is about a kind of teabagging that doesn’t see you on your back, with your head over the side of the sofa. It’s a novel new vibe, featuring celebrities images attached to teabags, making it look like they’re chilling out in your […]
Basically, you can get a glass of bubbly, a facial, a manicure, a pedicure or massage and valet parking, for roughly the same price as you get a sandwich from Melissa’s! That’s how the Equinox Spa at my primary residence, the Cape Royale hotel, is rolling at the moment. Personally I’ve had close on 500 […]
It’s a massive week for 2oceansvibe and Butlers this week. Not only has the much anticipated “Rotherham” pizza been launched on the menu, but fellow 2oceansvibe sponsor, NoMU spices, is also featuring on the menu. That’s right, for the first time ever, peri-peri will be available as a topping on your pizza – and it’s […]
I’ve only really been compelled to break out into song in the Sea Point Spar, home to thousands upon thousands of overseas models living in the area. Not to mention Luba Shumeyko‘s twin (damnit!) sister, who often shops in the very same store. They practice their ramp walks down the isles, as we, mere mortals, […]
Awesome! Fruit and Veg City have jumped on the band wagon and realised that ass flavoured goods are selling, quite literally, like hot cakes! Spotted at Fruit & Veg City Mmmm, I can just imagine how good an ass flavoured Sub wrap must taste! I doubt it will be as good as the ass […]
It’s not often that I give away trade secrets on how to be an awesome individual. But when I see the lack of knowledge resulting in pain for you, my treasured 2oceansvibers, then I realise that I have an obligation to tell you. Take for instance my special tuna mayonnaise that I make The Dude […]
You will recall the other day we mobilised the troops and asked you to head through to Food24 and vote for Lee Ann and Kirsten in the “Hot Chef” competition. This is the vibe we went for: Oh my goodness look at this! Kirsten and Lee Ann, our little spunks from Miss K Food Cafe […]
It had to come out sooner or later. With the massive success of ass products sold in and around South Africa, it was only a matter of time before someone found out where it all came from. Would you believe it – KIMBERLEY of all places! The Ass Wholesalers outlet in Kimberley The only distributors […]
The Grand Café hit the scene a few years ago, after the building it occupies sold for a record sum. The Camps Bay strip welcomed them in place of the abortion that was Opium – giving us an upmarket dining alternative (if you must consider any of the other “upmarket/fine dining” alternatives in Camps Bay). […]
With the Rotherham Diet gaining massive momentum across South Africa, a lot of people ask me how I “roll,” when it comes to fast food. I usually stumble around the question, trying to give examples of how, exactly, I roll – always wishing I had a visual clue. Luckily, thanks to The Cool Hunter and […]
Is this REALLY news? I would be celebrating and popping the champagne, if the news came as a surprise. But it doesn’t. I mean, is it wrong to expect these kind of accolades from 2oceansvibe brands and sponsors? Are we not perhaps numbed by the success of the associated brands and advertisers and people on […]
Really? Well suck me sideways! I gotta be honest, it doesn’t get much easier to find deals around Cape Town. My boys at www.nobucks.co.za have absolutely NAILED IT with their website which documents where and when various booze and food specials are going on around Cape Town. I simply clicked today’s date and it gave […]
Jeez, what a vibe! About 250 of you caught the two hour live video streaming broadcast we did from the wooden jail cell at the V&A Waterfront, in which Bob is serving a self-imposed jail sentence. Why is he doing it, you ask? Good question, Aguado… Basically, Bob is involved in a fundraiser for his […]
Ass flavoured foods have come a long way and it seems like just yesterday that we tried our first ass flavoured rolls from Spar and, lest we forget, the delicious quiche ass from Woolworths! Mmmm! Things moved pretty quickly for the new flavour which, in hindsight, is a no brainer! I mean obviously ass flavoured […]
Oh my goodness look at this! Kirsten and Lee Ann, our little spunks from Miss K Food Cafe in Green Point (next to our primary residence, The Cape Royale) are up for an important accolade! It’s the News24 Sizzling Hot Chefs competition, and 2oceansvibe is 100% behind them! Seriously gang, you know how the vibe […]
The Advertising Guy lives in Los Angeles and he has a buddy over there in the States, Greg Szmurlo, who has made a website to do with his three favourite things – Tom Selleck, Waterfalls and Sandwiches. It’s called Selleck Waterfall Sandwich. And when I say it is “to do” with those three things, I […]
For those of you who don’t know, 1800° is the premier grill room located at my primary residence, the prestigious Cape Royale Luxury Hotel and Residence in the heart of Cape Town’s trendy Green Point. 1800 Restaurant Doesn’t mess around when it comes to steaks They offer a range of succulent signature steaks, delectable meat […]
Bakers Biscuits, a South African favourite who have provided non-risque snacks and food products since 1851, are tweaking their previously conservative brand strategy and are diversifying into the more provocative adult foods market. In a surprise move, Bakers have launched a new sexually suggestive line of snacks which allude to male genitalia. With new ranges […]
The biggest burger cost you R3.15 in 1983. But enjoy this, 11 years earlier it cost 40c! Or try a three-egg omelette for 60c – gimmie a break! Take a trip down memory lane and recall your road-trips with the family – when you used to go “up-country” to visit your relatives. Wimpy was part […]
The cult movement in support of ass flavoured products seems to be escalating as the essence of ass is being used in foods as far afield as Knysna! It’s obviously moving up the coast, as it wasn’t a few months ago someone spotted ass flavoured cup cakes in Hermanus. Unlike the ass flavoured products featured […]
Any Capetonian worth their salt should know about Olympia Café in Kalk Bay – where a complete disregard for decor is met head on with possibly the most incredible food you will ever experience. And the staff believe it too, as we (The Muse and I) arrived at the front door last weekend, just in […]
I put “on it’s head” in inverted commas to indicate a quote, presumably by someone with authority. Given the topic of wine pairing, one would hope, at the very least, that the quote came from someone within the food or wine industry. In truth… it didn’t – I made it up. Yup, that’s right. Much […]
My skill-set is widely discussed and it’s a given that long-distance running comes as easy to me as horse whispering. It was for that exact reason that I accepted Runner’s World Magazine’s invitation to do the Two Oceans Marathon. They were clearly aware of the fact that I do the same course most weeks – […]
