Billy G Opens Its Doors @GoldReefCitySA #LoveGRC #Restaurant #Buffet

Hi Friends, 

Johannesburg South’s favorite family entertainment destination, Gold Reef City, is adding another restaurant, Billy G, to its range of excellent eateries. The upmarket, family buffet restaurant will officially open its doors on Friday, 3 May 2019, providing visitors with a wide variety of mouth-watering dishes.

Owned by Tsogo Sun, the Billy G brand offers an extensive selection of dishes, including succulent cuts of meat at the carvery, a variety of casseroles, curries, vegetarian offerings, seafood, pasta dishes, and salads, as well as tantalizing desserts.

Marketing Manager at Gold Reef City, Feron Somiah, says the first Billy G Restaurant was opened in Montecasino in 2010 and named in honor of the late Dr. Billy Gallagher, whose contribution to hospitality and food and beverage spanned almost 40 years and whose influence continues today through the many individuals he mentored throughout his career.

“Billy G currently has restaurants at Montecasino, Silverstar Casino, Suncoast Casino, and The Ridge Casino. We are looking forward to adding this reputable brand to our restaurant offering at Gold Reef City. It’s part of our mission to continually offer our visitors new experiences, incredible food, and top-notch entertainment.”

The highly competent Errol Mogashoa will join the Billy G team at Gold Reef City as Sous Chef, bringing with him a wealth of experience from other well-known eateries around the country. With 15 years’ experience as a professional chef under his belt, he has Southern African cuisine covered.

From managing dining and buffet style restaurant options and motivating employees to perform to the best of their abilities, to creating new recipes and menu variations, implementing seasonal ingredients and adopting modern meal preparation techniques, Mogashoa will ensure diners keep coming back to Billy G for a delicious dining experience.

Did You Know #UberEats Has These Cool Features? @Uber_RSA #SmartphoneApp

Hi Friends, 

Uber Eats has broken the common stereotype of what food delivery service is. With new useful features being introduced such as in-app messaging, which makes it convenient for eaters to communicate with their delivery partner seamlessly, they are able to deliver on their promises of selection, speed, and service.

In-app messaging is not the only feature to make ordering easier. Here are some of the other unique technology features built into the Uber Eats app:

Personalised recommendations - What do other eaters love? Uber Eats uses machine learning to help surface recommendations such as popular options in the surrounding area based on past orders, 30-minute delivery options, and details like time of day and delivery location.

Filter for the right food - Are you a vegetarian? The app allows eaters to select meal options that suit their lifestyle whether you are a vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free there is something for everyone. The app also allows eaters to look up restaurants according to specific criteria like speed, price, dish information and average prep time.

Thumbs up or thumbs down? - The same way Uber uses the five-star rating for driver-partners, the Uber Eats app provides rates of restaurants so eaters can see how others in their city rate their service. Eaters can also rate a specific meal with a thumbs up or thumbs down, which helps the restaurant to improve its experience.

Order customization - Not a fan of onions or tomatoes? No worries! The app allows eaters to let the restaurant know what ingredients not to include.

Customise the drop-off location - Stuck in a meeting? Eaters can provide specific instructions to delivery partners, for example, telling them to leave the food order at the reception.

Schedule orders - Do you have guests coming over and haven’t prepared food? No sweat, the app allows eaters to plan ahead and make orders in advance. eaters are able to schedule an order anytime up to an hour before the desired delivery window–and as far as a week out.

Order tracking - Wondering what’s happening with your food? Eaters can select “track your order” in-app and watch in real-time as their food is prepared, picked up, and delivered to them.

Simultaneously use Uber and Uber Eats - eaters can pop open the Uber Eats app while in their Uber to the office or home to order food before they arrive. This way eaters can find their food waiting for them when they arrive.

In-app support - Yes, mistakes can happen such as your food arriving cold. In this instance, eaters can use this feature to get a prompt response to their queries in the shortest time possible. The in-app support “Help” service can be accessed within the Uber Eats app by tapping on your profile icon on the bottom right of the screen, then tapping the help icon which will provide you options of issues you can select in order for it to resolve. This helps provide feedback to the restaurants to ensure they improve their service.

Uber Eats has transformed the way traditional restaurant work and are fostering experiments that offer an insight into the future of food delivery.

About Uber
Uber Eats is an on-demand food delivery service powered by Uber. Uber Eats partners with the best local restaurants to get people the food they want - delivered faster. Uber Eats is currently in over 200 cities in over 21 countries and launching more every week. To request a meal, download the free application for Android, iPhone or register at www.ubereats.com.

Hey #Joburg #UberEATS Has Arrived @Uber_RSA @UberEATS

Hi Guys,

Joburgers, UberEATS is here! UberEATS was officially launched at Katy’s Palace in Sandton and from Thursday 29 September those in Jozi hungry for a new, reliable way to order tasty meals are already requesting their favourite foods using the UberEATS app.

UberEATS is an on-demand food delivery app powered by Uber, and it’s just as easy and convenient to use as the rides app people know and love. UberEATS partners with only the best local restaurants to get customers the food they want, delivered faster. At launch, UberEATS already offers some of the the best food Jozi has to offer, including meals from the likes of Casalottis, Momo Baohaus, Krunch, Fishmonger and Paul’s Homemade Ice Cream.

“We’re so excited to finally be launching UberEATS in Johannesburg, one of the world’s trendiest food destinations. UberEATS makes life simpler and more satisfying for those who are short on time and with the hustle and bustle in Joburg we know it’s the best city to launch in,” says Alon Lits, General Manager, Uber Sub-Saharan Africa.

The UberEATS app can be downloaded on the app store or through the Uber rides app, and meals can be requested for delivery in Northern Johannesburg from 07am to 10pm, seven days a week with a R20 delivery fee. UberEATS now offers those living in Jozi an alternative way of getting good food in good time, giving Joburgers great food at the touch of a button with no minimum order size.

Lits notes some of the advantages of UberEATS, “What’s great about UberEATS, other than the fact that we’re aiming to get food to “eaters” in the shortest amount of time, is that good restaurants can now expand their business reach, while our delivery partners have access to new flexible economic opportunities. And, for the first time restaurants will be able to use Uber’s data to get feedback from their customers.”

UberEATS couriers will be made up of the best Uber driver-partners in Jozi and eaters can rate their courier as well as the restaurant, by giving them a “thumbs up”, or “thumbs down”, to ensure service stays excellent.

No lines, no waiting, no onions?
That’s right, UberEATS allows customers to customise orders. No onions with that? No worries, just make a note using the app.

Don’t get hangry, get UberEATS!
1. Download the app or go to ubereats.com to find what you’re craving, and we’ll handle the rest.
2. Sign in - you can use your existing Uber account for UberEATS - or create a new one.
3. Tell us where to deliver - add your home, work, or any other address you’d like.
4. Browse local restaurants - search for your favourite local restaurant or try something new.
5. Check out with a tap - simply pay with your card on file. And remember, the delivery fee is R20.
6. Track your order - watch as your order gets picked up and delivered right to your door.

Discounts for new users
First time trying UberEATS? Download the app and enter the promo code at checkout; TryEatsZA on checkout to enjoy up to R100 off your first order. Available for new UberEATS users only.

Outside UberEats initial launch zone?
Don’t worry, this is just the beginning, they will be expanding the delivery area across Gauteng and adding more of your favourite restaurants in the coming weeks.

 

I was part of the media launch at the Katy's Palace and loved the idea of getting my loved food just from a single app with delivery fees of R20. Earlier I have tried other apps and food delivery mechanism in Johannesburg but nothing as reliable as Uber EATS as I can now see where my food is! Till that time, keep kicking your taste buds with the awesome and ever increasing food menu options.

 

Cheers!!!

3SIXTY Launches New Menu @MontecasinoZA #3SixtyNewMenu @TsogoSun

Hi Guys,

One of Gauteng’s hottest nightspots – 3SIXTY at Montecasino – has a new menu and is setting tastebuds alight. Blake Anderson was appointed as the Complex Executive Chef of Gauteng’s premier entertainment destination, Montecasino, in October last year and, having spent the first six months settling in to the challenges of running a 24/7 operation has now turned his significant culinary talents to reinventing the menu of the property’s trademark restaurant on the casino floor. Chef Blake, who is also a member of the South African National Culinary Team which will represent South Africa at the IKA Culinary Olympics taking place in Germany in October this year, had more than a few culinary firsts under his toque when the new menu was launched in May.

Herb Gnocchi

The outstanding new menu features twists and turns on flavours and presentation which will make your tastebuds twirl while your toes curl. To kick start your palate, think pea and artichoke Miza: crushed peas, yoghurt labneh, grilled artichoke and mint served with tortilla crisps; or confit duck tortellini with Asian-infused mushroom ragout, marinated cucumber and carrot ribbons served in a hoisin and duck broth topped with micro herb salad.

 Royal Flush - Fashion sandwich - 4 piece

Main courses are equally creative: Mesquite grilled New York style rib-eye, roasted baby onions, pommes puree, zucchini, and béarnaise sauce…which pairs perfectly with an “I dare you” sweet and smokey cocktail made with mix of rum, lime juice, black cherry syrup and homemade bacon syrup! For something with a little kick, try the delicately deboned chicken thighs smothered in peppadew pesto served with a jalapeño feta croquette, butter-fried potato fondant, snap peas and harissa yogurt.

Confit Duck Tortellini

If seafood is your preference, char siu glazed line fish with crushed five-spice potatoes, roasted carrot and pineapple puree, glazed bok choy and Asian infused tomato lime salsa might get your attention, or Laksa prawn and chicken curry on saffron infused basmati rice with tempura prawn on the side could be ‘it’ for you.

The Pink Lady- 4 piece

Vegetarians are not forgotten on 3SIXTY’s new menu – light and fluffy herb gnocchi with basil pesto cream, braised heirloom tomatoes and wild rocket is served with an unusual ‘arch’ of grilled parmesan cheese crumb bake.

Butternut and Blue Cheese Salad

Chef Blake’s culinary genius extends right through to dessert as the menu takes indulgence to a whole new level - white chocolate cheesecake on Oreo crumbs served with an Oreo macaron and dark chocolate gelato and a shot of caramel topped with charred marshmallow on the side. But the deconstructed tiramisu deserves special mention: Jack Daniels chocolate, hazelnut and orange tiramisu, hazelnut syrup with an orange zest glaze.

Apple & Raisin Crumble

New on the 3SIXTY menu is a journey for the senses – a tasting menu served as a six-course, eight-course or 10-course, with the option of wine pairing. Available at deliciously competitive prices, the menu is served at 3SIXTY’s chef’s bench, with a birds-eye view of the kitchen and the restaurant’s talented chefs.

Salmon, Mascarpone and Citrus Salad

Of course 3SIXTY’s mixologists will still whip up old favourites like the Italian Hugo - pronounced “Ugo” – a combination of elderflower syrup, Prosecco and mint; but new additions which are begging to be tried include a peach and ginger margarita with a salt rim. 3SIXTY ticks all the boxes for a glamourous night out with extraordinary food in an upmarket setting.

Pea and Artichoke Míza

To make a reservation at Montecasino’s 3SIXTY please call +27 11 510 7340. For more information go to www.montecasino.co.za, join on Facebook at www.facebook.com/montecasino or follow on Twitter at @MontecasinoZA. Tell them what you think of the new menu by tagging @MontecasinoZA #3SixtyNewMenu.

Photo Walk - Santa Rosa @SpurRestaurant Jean Village #Centurion #SouthAfrica

Hi Guys,

I never went to Spur Restaurant in my two years here at Johannesburg and one fine day I was invited to a kids birthday party at Santa Rosa Spur in Jean Village, Centurion.

I was so impressed by the colorful atmosphere that the restaurant has as if it's decorated especially for the birthday party. 

It felt like you are somewhere in the rural cultural heritage of South Africa. All the wall hangings to items placed on the tables reflected the rich cultural heritage. 

A separate kids section and menu made the life of parents easier as kids can order their own food and enjoy the play area. Kids are even given some coloring papers along with crayons to enjoy the Spur and keep revisiting the same. 

The roof also has design which reflected the Spur's culture of giving authentic South African taste of food. 

I simply loved this because earlier in my childhood, my grandparents had windows on one side of the house in different colors and this wall hanging light reminded me of that time. It used to look so beautiful in afternoon when different colors of lights used to fall inside of the room. 

Go check out the venue and enjoy the delicacies at Spur. All the photographs are taken by me using the Nikon D7000 with 18-105mm kit lens. 

Cheers!!!

Jenda – the place to be seen @MontecasinoZA

Hi Guys, 

“A meal is the whole experience of getting together and sharing with friends. It is more than food”- that’s the quote by Jinny Fleishman that adorns the new Jenda Restaurant menu and the philosophy behind this fresh new experience on offer at Montecasino. 

“To stay relevant to our constant stream of visitors, we need to keep reinventing ourselves, offering new experiences that meet the needs and wants of our wide spectrum of customers. Jenda is a comfortable environment where people can stay for hours, relaxing and enjoying the light fare complemented by fine wine,” says Norman Wallace, Operations Director for Tsogo Sun.

Explains Glenn Joseph, General Manager of Montecasino, “Jenda brings a new dimension of comfort and relaxed dining to our mix at Montecasino. It’s a restaurant that is flexible enough for every dining requirement and for leisurely social evenings, but specifically attracts pre- and post-show theatre goers to complete a perfect evening out.”

Both the restaurant and the menu have been designed for sharing. The restaurant includes several unique spaces – couches and low tables in a screened off outside area with a pleasant Mediterranean feel and makes it the ideal place to relax; a restaurant section for more formal sit-down meals; a flaring bar; and an upstairs wine tasting room. The décor is fresh, slick and welcoming.

The menu includes ‘small plates for sharing’, offering a range of delectable snack foods for the South African palate; a selection of sliders – lamb, beef and chicken; seafood, including prawns with lime and chilli, deep-fried calamari with tartare sauce, grilled salmon and lemon mayonnaise; crisp chicken wings, larny potato fries with truffle oil; mini cheese fondue; grilled halloumi; and Jenda’s ‘famous tortilla sandwiches’ – lamb, thyme and tzatziki; beef, onion, mixed pepper; chicken, mushroom and bacon.

Although the menu is predominantly made up of small sharing portions, it also offers an a la carte menu which includes entrecote, beef fillet, parmesan-crusted chicken breast, pan-fried linefish, as well as the Jenda burger with slow-roasted tomato and onion relish, bacon, jalapenos, and cheddar cheese. Salads are equally appetising – grilled beef salad, goat’s cheese, rocket, and micro greens with honey soy dressing; and roasted pear salad with blue cheese, crispy bacon bits, croutons, greens and blueberry dressing.

Topping the dessert list is ‘our famous Lindt chocolate fondue with biscotti, marshmallows, strawberries and honeycomb’ for two.

Cocktails and champagne add to the festive feel of the menu, with Moët & Chandon ranging from Vintage to Brut Imperial, and cocktails to share, with a variety that will appeal to any palate or occasion. The comprehensive wine menu also ensures that there is always something for everyone and features wines procured at the Nederburg and Cape Winemakers Guild auctions last year, where Tsogo Sun spent just under R3,2 million and took top spot for total sales by a single bidder.

The menu carries the sage suggestion, ‘After dinner, sit awhile and enjoy the evening, for later on you might be hungry again, and so the circle of good food continues.’ That’s what it’s about. It's a nice concept when you want to have an awesome time with your family and friends and want to relax with all of them.
