Alright guys, it is time for another food video from Cape Town.
Today we're at the Eastern Food Bazaar.
I apologize if it is a little bit loud here.
The music is just like blasting.
But anyways, we're going to introduce you to a dish called Bunny Chow.
And we first had Bunny Chow when we came to South Africa about two years ago.
We had it on safari and the first time we heard bunny chow we were like woah they're
eating baby bunnies that is a little sad.
I'm not sure I can.
But this dish has nothing to do with Bunnies.
Nothing to do with rabbit.
It is actually a curry so it is a hollowed out loaf of bread stuffed with curry and this
is a dish that actually originated in Durban where there is a large Indian population.
So yeah, I think it is time to dig in shall we?
So Sam is going to do the honors.
First up.
Yeah, so first up I am having the chicken bunny chow and before I have that I'll point
out that the one you got is vegetarian and there was also lamb on the menu.
So yeah, lots of options.
Lots of options and just look at how big this is.
This is my hand.
It is seriously like half a loaf of bread.
Right there.
So I'm just going to dig right in.
I'm going to try and get.
Oh, wow look at that.
Nice big piece of chicken.
I'm going to try and get a little bit of bread and try to get a bit of chicken.
Should that piece of chicken is so big I think I'm just going to go for some sauce.
Oh la lah.
Oh, that is nice.
Yeah?
Oh yeah?
It smells so good.
I can smell the curry.
That is a wonderful curry.
It is rich it is a little bit spicy but not overpoweringly spicy and it kind of reminds
me a bit of a masala.
Of a masala curry.
It has just kind of got that rich tomato base.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh that is good.
I'm going in for a second bite.
You know it is good when I go in for round two.
And I did get a little bit of bread from the side as well.
Cool.
Mmmmm.
Oh yeah.
That is so good.
Loving the bunny chow.
And how often do we get to have a meal inside of a bread basket?
I know.
It is so cool.
Look, I'm ripping off a piece of bread.
Mmmmm.
This is awesome.
It is now my turn so I got the vegetarian bunny chow.
And here is the bread that was hollowed out from inside the loaf.
So I'm going to use this for dipping.
Ype.
So here we go.
I should mention if you compare yours is more of a brown color.
Yeah.
Whereas mine is orange.
So yours should taste different.
Mmmm.
That is good.
How is that?
It is good.
Woah.
I'm spraying everywhere.
We've got some lentils, potatoes, green beans.
Not lentils.
I mean peas.
Peas.
But yeah, it is so spicy.
Oh my gosh.
It burns in the throat.
Yours is obviously spicier than mine.
Mine is spicy but just kind of mildly spicy.
Mmmm.
This is such a fun meal as well.
Like look at this.
I have a tower of bread on my plate.
Like how often do you eat out of a tower of bread?
Not very.
Mmmm.
That is good.
Oh, I should mention it comes with like a coleslaw type of salad on the side.
You're going to try that?
Mmmmm.
Not bad?
That is good.
It is kind of refreshing and cooling next to the spice.
I'm happy with this.
And you know what?
I'm just going to dig in to yours and see what that one is like.
Yeah, I mean we were going to share so why not just got at it right here.
Mmmm.
Do you like mine?
So is the curry different then?
Yeah, yours is good.
I'm going to steal a piece of chicken as well.
I think as per usual it seems you have a little food envy.
Sam always orders the best one.
I do.
Look at the chicken.
And I don't mean that to brag but it is just literally true.
I always order the thing that you end up wanting more.
This is looks so good.
I'm going to steal more sauce.
I need a bit more sauce.
Look at you going in there.
I've got the chicken and I've got the bread.
Bunny chow!
Bunny chow in Cape Town, South Africa.
Mmmm.
Loving it.
So Sam is going in for the vegetarian.
So since you got to try mine it is only fair that I get to try yours.
And I'm doing the same as you.
I'm using my basically the hollowed out piece of bread to sop some of it up.
Ooh.
Mmmm.
Well, well?
Yours is good too.
It is spicier isn't it?
Yours is definitely spicier.
I'm not sure why but it is.
But yeah, it is a different flavor as well.
Which one do you prefer more?
Oh, definitely mine.
But yours is good but that is the winner for sure.
Alright, so I think it is time to enjoy our meal.
Time to enjoy it at this point.
Well, we tried but it would appear once again we have been defeated by the portions here.
And unlike the Gatsby where it was a total defeat this was just a slight one.
I finished the basically the bread bowl and I'm just not going to finish the entire bread
portion of it.
I'm quite stuffed.
Yeah.
And I had about half.
Ha!
Which I think is pretty good considering it was a tower of bread.
I mean it was a tower of bread.
It was a tower of bread.
So yeah, anyways moving on to price point.
So that came to 90 Rand in total.
The vegetarian one was 40 whereas the chicken one was 50.
So you're talking what was it $6 dollars and something?
Yeah, $6.60.
Six dollars and sixty cents so incredible value and the thing I really like about this
particular place is that it is a very local spot.
You can see that there is a lot of locals eating here.
I mean obviously there is tourists as well but the prices reflect you know a fair price
for a local as well.
Yeah, and you can find it in Cape Town but your best bet is going to be the city of Durban.
Durban.
So yeah anyways signing out from Cape Town, South Africa.
Tata.
