    Best I recall was a fillet steak in an Italian restaurant in Bloemfontein back in 1986. Didn't need the knife to cut the steak, pushing with your fork was enough.

    Several years ago I had a gf that lived around Foundation University. There was a small mom and pop bake shop there that made some pretty awesome sugar-free bread (very thick, proper sandwich-making bread). It was actually some of the best bread I have ever had. I haven't been there for years so who knows if it is still around. It was right before the bend going North. See picture:

    I also used to get some sugar-free bread at the market in Valencia. This was usually found at the big sari x2 store on the corner next to the meat market. Though that is rare as well.

    At times I also found decent bread at Hypermart.

    The only additive necessary for scotch, is several small blocks of ice! If you drink it iwth coke buy the cheapest you can find, because you cant tell the difference.
    [DOUBLEPOST=1425345003,1425344723][/DOUBLEPOST]Still on the important topic of food, I see most of the recommendations are o/s or western cuisine. Is there good Filipino restaurants, side stalls where the food is of excellent
    quality? My gf made me chicken adobo and I loved that. Had a couple of Filipino meals during my previous stays, but none of them were memorable, so stayed with western.

    My top 3 everL
    1. Chill Singapore Mud Crab, Chinese restaurant East HIlls
    2. Smorgasbord at Gold Coast Hotel, New Territories, Hong Kong - sensational
    3.Porterhouse steak in Portugal many years ago, like others, no knife needed!

    A friend recently brought me a bottle of The Macallan, fill the glass with ice and pour. Very nice.

    Had great fish and chips and cold beer with friends at Mike's Dauin Beach Resort tonight. Best F & C I have found in the area.

    YEAH... I understand what you mean. I hate it when I f*ck up a seriously freshly poured coke over crystal clear ice with the bubbles going up my noise by pouring in some scotch. :wink:
