What's the best food in Cape Town?

Curry Meat Foam - South African curry minced meat is like the American meat stuffing cake and the British potato meat pie. It is the most traditional dish. It is a main lunch for locals to order a squid filled with sweet prawns, fresh fish and squid squid with lemon garlic butter, followed by a cold beer or refreshing white wine. Be sure to try the fish. When Cape Town people are grilling in the wild, they tend to apply a thick layer of apricot jam, sprinkle with a little lemon juice and garlic, and sweet potatoes and homemade bread with butter. Three-legged iron stew, this is a fashionable food that is suitable for modern life needs. There are also many choices for breakfast: eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, grilled salmon and squid, fried corn, pancakes, espresso and coffee, toast and jam, porridge and cheese, etc. There are.
