Top 5 Asian restaurants in the Nelson Mandela metro pole.

-
Having samples most of Asian and Thai restaurants; this is my take on the best 5 in Port Elizabeth and Uitenhage area. The criteria for judging are based mostly on flavour and authentic of dishes.
Thai Asian Food and Noodle Cafe
There are not many authentic Thai food restaurants in the Nelson Mandela metro pole. Having said that, arguably the best Thai and Asian is found on the corner of Cuyler and Caledon Street in Uitenhage of all places. The beef stir fried noodles are awesome, not to mention their red and massaman curries.
Foo Jiu Sushi
With the sushi craze sweeping the city and the rest of the country for that matter this small restaurant found in Heugh Road rules the roost. A very comprehensive sushi menu is prepared by two sushi masters who make it look easy. Originally this restaurant was situated in fountains mall Jeffreybay , so when they relocated the too PE this sushi lover jump for joy. They also have various Chinese favourites available, however try the tempura batter deep fried Sushi, all I can say is wow!
Mellas Dim-sum and Noodle Bar
Located just off the bustling Stanley Street in Richmond Hill is Mellas Dim- sum and Noodle Bar. Specializing in dim -sum and few other Asian delights and curries. Mellas is well worth a visit. ">
Natti’s Thai Kitchen
Laid back! The easiest way to describe this place. Natty Thai Kitchen is a laid back restaurant found in Park Lane. The menu is written on a chalk board which alters according to produce available. Whatever is on that board is good. So take your own bottle of wine and enjoy. ">
Royal Siam Thai Kitchen
Found in Main Road in Walmer, this hidden gem offers authentic Thai. The dining area is intimate but takes nothing away from the experience. Also bring a bottle of wine as no liquor licence.

Food Trucks rocks Port Elizabeth

Friday 18th November saw Port Elizabeth host its first ever Baakens Food Truck Friday. An event organised and run by the local food trucks and trailer owners. As no official attendance was recorded an estimated 3000 revellers descended on Baakens River Valley to get their fill of food, fun and entertainment. According to event organiser Grant Foong the attendance might be north of 3500 which for a first event is mind blowing. This would be the first time only food trucks and trailers would be used to anchor an event and the bay foodies loved the concept. Food ranged from burgers to Asian to vegetarian with some waffles, slush puppies and pancakes sprinkled between. As the sun set a Carnival atmosphere was created by the extra street lighting provided by the WERK manufacturing guys. The big turnout did create big ques and some people had to wait a quite a while for food, however speaking to event organiser Grant Foong this will be addressed for the next event which will be ...

These days you will find a burger on every menu. Why not? It’s an easy choice when you just want something to eat and not spend ages analysing a menu. So what does the friendly city offer in terms of a good burger? This review is just based on how the burger makes you feel and if it hits the “spot” No indebt analyses on bun quality or meat –to- bun ratio or any other burger rating criteria has been used. Ziggy’s – The Big Kuhuna burger, without a doubt the best burger in Port Elizabeth. Slightly spices beef patty offers a flavour explosion in your mouth. Combine this with the rough cut chips this is stands head and shoulders above the rest. Bridge Street Brewery – Found in Bridge Street in Brickmakerskloof, this eatery offers a burger that could easily be the best in PE. Coming a very close second, unfortunately just falling short compared to Ziggy’s. La Fiesta – This very popular take away joint around PE has a burger to die for. A bit more spice infused in the patty makes it...

Tops walks around the Port Elizabeth area

Exercise... you either love it or hate. Either way, we still need to do it. So let's looks at some hiking spots or walks, particularly around the greater Gqeberha formely Port elizabeth area. The walks or hikes are rated according to their difficulty, beauty and accessibility. 1. The Sacramento Trail Probably the best kept secret, that's not realy a secret, in Port Elizabeth. This trail offers spectacular scenery as it hugs the coastline. Starting at Schoemakerskop it stretched all the way to Sardinia Bay. Offering amazing scenery and easy accessibility. The trail is named after the Sacramento, a Portuguese galleon that sank 1647. This story is also particularly intriguing as the ship ran aground in the vicinity of Schoenmakerskop and Sardinia Bay, with only 72 survivors making it to the shore. Of those, just nine managed to trek the 1,300-kilometre distance to Delagoa Bay (Maputo) in Mozambique and only four of these men made the trip back home to Portugal. 2.Norm...
