Fabulous...

OK, so I'm revoltingly late in getting these pictures up here. Actually, it's our next dinner club tonight and I thought I'd better make an effort to sort out last month's photos and post them before I have to do tonights...

So, our last dinner was at a restaurant called Fabulous. It's a Moroccan restaurant and I really enjoyed the whole mood created by low tables, cushions, dim lighting and of course, deliciously flavoured food. The restaurant's situated at the top of Kloof Street, in the heart of Cape Town. It was a divine and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, although I think the mojitos had something to do with that too.

Anyway, sorry this is so short, looking forward to seeing you all tonight!!

Anchi enjoying a mojito...

Suzaan with her rose flavoured drink...

Conversation around the table. How'd you like my hair straight? I didn't know it was so long...
Our very gay waiter, Anthony. He's also the owner and is great fun. It'd be worth going back there, just to catch up with him again... He was very patient in explaining everything to us girls...
Pia's looking fabulous - she's just glowing in happiness... The menu...Michelle with our visiting member & her sister-in-law, Kelly...

OK, so since it was so long ago that I took these photos, I'm not quite sure what's what any more. These are some of our starters. Deep fried camembert... Beetroot & goat's milk cheese...Falafal herb salad. This was mine - it was delicious and way too big to finish...
Mains were delicious, but after the huge starter, I couldn't finish mine. This was the vegetarian pasta. I know it had chickpeas in it, but not sure what else. I can remember someone saying it was hot...

I have no idea what was inside this phyllo parcel, but it looks pretty...This one I recognise - it's fish done with a mango and pomegranate salsa, with couscous done with parsley (in my opinion, way too much parsley)...
Besides the cocktails, this was our wine of choice for the night...By the end of the night, I'd almost forgotten I owned a camera and almost entirely forgot to take any photos of the desserts. I did manage to snap one of my half eaten halva ice-cream, which was, well, fabulous...
