Review: Something's Cooking (Bothasig)

Ok! You're right! I have been slacking a little on the blog side... Last update was 2 weeks ago. Trust me, it is not for lack of motivation - My paying job has been really really hectic...
So, I popped around to Sulnisa Centre, a new shopping centre that is opening on Bothasig, behind the Caltex Country Garage. We hired a DVD at the video shop and I a little restaurant caught my eye: Something's Cooking! The guys were still busy setting up so I made a mental note to check it out sometime.
I have decided to always try to support local entrepreneurs in our area: The hardware, the take-aways, the restaurants, etc. It is the only way to keep them around.
Sunday comes around and I decide not to cook, remembering this restaurant that I saw. We picked up my dad and his new wife, Brenda and off we went to give Something's Cooking a try!
The food was brilliant! The pic above shows you the portion you get for R39.95. Tasty and great value for money (the most important thing in our flailing economy). My dad tried the sago pudding for dessert - It was just how my mom used to make it. Real, homestyle cooking. Tasting that brought back some tucked away memories... the good old days.

Something's Cooking is setup as a quaint restaurant and also does take-aways. I was chatting to the owner and I get the impression he is passionate about food. A man after my own heart! He does a set weekly menu - 5 different meals a day. For example: On Monday, they serve Cottage Pie, Irish Stew, Mince Curry, Chicken a la King and Bacon & Mushroom Pasta. Prices range between R22.95 and R39.95.
Last night, being a Thursday, was my regular Boy's Night. I decided to give Something's Cooking another try. Saved me from first cooking and then going out.
Celine wanted the Spaghetti Bolognaise and Mel wanted to the Chicken a la King. The food was great but it turned out that the Bolognaise had a bit of a bite to it and Mel and Leen had to swop. I will remember to ask next time...
I would definitely recommend Something's Cooking to you, my blog-readers... Give it a try & treat yourself. There is nothing better than having a homestyle meal that you don't have to cook yourself... Local is lekker!
