Top 10 Iconic Street Foods in Cape Town South Africa

[@lforce1298]

Bunny chow is a Durban food made by the Bunya people for indentured labourers, who needed to take food to work so they came up with this, as it was easier to cart the curry and the bread without the use of containers 'n such❤ for the best Bunny.. Go to Durban ❤ love the vlogs found so much in Cpt thanks to you and can't wait to go try it out ❤❤❤

Bunny chow is a Durban icon. You mostly get it at the tourist places in Cape Town. Lived over 70 years here and never ate one. Lots in Durban though.

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

ok, thanks for the info

[@stylesnskills3875]

Lots of places sell bunny chow in Cape Town

[@lailahbhana5449]

Bunny chow is indigent originates from durban

[@meaghandamonze3595]

You should try the gatsby from where it actually was originated in Athlone from super fisheries

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

Thanks we will check it out

[@iMitiga]

Athlone is not a safe area to go to though, or is it? Not sure if that's a place I can go to as a single traveling female 😅. To my understanding that's part of Cape Flats, which should be avoided

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

@@iMitiga not part of the flats, but I've not been yet

[@DmitriGAJegels]

​@iMitiga you can't just avoid the whole of the Cape Flats, you'll miss out on the soul of Cape Town. Did you know there are also middle class and farely upmarket areas on the Cape Flats besides townships? I suggest you befriend a local person from the Cape Flats and prepare to have your life enriched 😊

[@ferdieortman6614]

Mouton or steak or plain

iconic, they used it 22 times. I don't think I would describe Food Lovers as iconic.

oh well, thanks

[@craigsmith9285]

A new drinking game, Take a shot every time the word "iconic" is used. Wonder if any of us would meke it to the end of the video 😀

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

haha, will have to try that

[@JacquesKoen]

Im staying in Bellville and I just can't get a good Food place. But I see now? I'm gonna try it in Cape Town

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

good luck

[@StAlfonzo87]

Iconic? Definitely. Street food? A few of them. One omission is the simple but classic boerewors roll. I prefer the Cape Flats version with nippy sausage over actual boerewors (not sure if that's sacrilege). I think that would've fit better than the gelato. Also, feels like yesterday when one could get a full-sized gatsby for R20, but my cholesterol is actually happy it's not so cheap anymore.

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

R20, wow, I would look like a balloon, I agree, Wors roll is iconic,

[@Nkanyiso131]

That gatsby looks good Can’t believe you didn’t klap a good ol fashioned braai or shisa nyama equally as good if not better

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

for sure, shisa nyama in our street food video

[@naimjacobs2372]

I see you guys went to Hout Bay 👍👍👍

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

it was a great place

[@ironmuzz]

Hout bay is best. My favorite place in SA. Never tried the fish there. will do next time.

It's a great place and you should try the fish

[@handwroughttv6333]

Bunny chow destination is Durban..that's where it's originated.. bunny chow was created during the apartheid era by Durban indian cooks..they'd make the curry cut the bread and put it inside the bread and sneak it out for their husbands..that's why best bunnies are in Durban.

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

awesome info thanks

[@MawuliWomoakor]

😢Nice place

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

[@ulrichpike5805]

[@ffj7]

what I wouldnt do for an Eastern food bazaar dosa and Paneer with naan fresh from the tandoor.

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

it is so good

[@rpptv1]

I would say Cape Malay food and snook would dominate local Cape traditional food. BTW Bunny Chow is originally from Durban!

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

Thanks for the info

[@GiftySeratinioi]

Why you guys go to mzolis at guguletho there you explore Kasi food

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

[@jacquespienaar1712]

Go to Masi for a braai

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

ok, thanks

[@dunzxoxo]

bunny chow isn't iconic to Cape Town, it is a Durban dish. Gatsby is iconic to Cape Town. Cape Town's food has the Malay influence. Now we have every kind of foods out there, from all over Africa and most of the world. Hake, hake is common and u can get anywhere but, snoek, snoek is iconic to Cape Town, and u can only get it here or off the boats at Kalkies, in Kalk Bay harbour, or the fish n chip shops around CT area and most fish shops sell snoek, either whole, ready to braai, or in pieces ready to fry. Pity u didn't say where all the places u had the food, always nice to know

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

Thank you for the great comment, and info.

[@michaelcooper4986]

I've only eaten at quay four once I thought they where over priced and over rated (personal opinion)

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

Ours was ok,

[@socailplayer]

Iconic was definitely not chocolate(too expensive back then), more like Malva or bread pudding

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

ok, thanks

[@mrb2643]

Had Easterns Bazaar when they just opened, variety but very bland. Not sure nowadays

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

It was quite spicey on the chicken, but steak needed seasoning

That's not why the Gatsby was named Gatsby

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

Really, ok, thanks

[@StAlfonzo87]

I've heard that it is. I'd heard that the film was in theatres at the time, and someone called this new monster sandwhich "a Gatsby smash".

[@markkirbylyons239]

I like your videos.But its not true to Cape Town.In your opinion maybe.No street Boerie?No Gatsby from golden dish,supafisheries,cosy corner?Cape Malay koek sisters.No Portuguese fish and chips?Not a true reflection.

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

ok thank you for the comment

[@seavale11]

and the bobotie is settlers bringing it here... not the slqaves

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

Ok, thanks

[@MrPampoen1]

Bobotie is not our national dish!! You need to up your research mister.

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

ok, thanks

[@AJS82041]

Highly disappointed in your lack of knowledge of the Bunny Chow: 1stly, it's not iconic to Cape Town but to Durban 2ndly, your knowledge on the history is so lacking and irritatingly stupid. The Bunny Chow was invented by a Bania owned take-away in Durban, during a time when the indentured labourers had to take their food back to their place of work and because of no utensils, the food was packed into a hollowed out bread. There is no connection to Bunny Rabbits or Chinese dogs or a man nicknamed Bunny. All nonsense! 🤚

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

Ok, thanks

[@AJS82041]

@@BryanDiscoversWorld I enjoy watching your videos but at least get the history of the food you are eating correct. It's annoying to hear false information being spread. Iconic foods for Cape Town: 1) Gatsby 2) Babotie 3) Fish and Chips The Gatsby and Babotie were invented in Cape Town and should be the first two on the iconic list. Fish and Chips is from the UK 🇬🇧 Bunny Chow is iconic to Durban and nowhere in Durban will you find a Butter Chicken Bunny Chow either. Butter Chicken is best eaten with Naan.
