Our
beer tasting at Boston Breweries in Paarden Eiland left us very hungry, so we
headed to Café Zorina, an old lunchtime haunt of John’s when he worked at AGFA
They
are extremely popular in the area and it is just a take away business. Short
queues and efficient service mean that your lunch comes quickly. You do need
cash, they don’t take cards
They
sell a selection of traditional Cape Malay delicacies from Samoosas, to
Koeksisters and other delights
They
do have superb Rotis, which are so large some of us could not finish one in one
session (Lynne)
And
the best crisp samoosas in Cape Town. Not layers and layers of limp dough, just
enough to cover the filling and superbly crunchy. Our order was 6 meat
samosas - quite spicy with green chilly, a mince roti (John) and a beef roti
(Lynne). The lamb is so popular it had run out by 1.30. You can
have chutney as an extra. Our order cost R125, a very reasonable lunch and very
filling
And
where better to enjoy our lunch, but where the sea enters the lagoon at Milnerton beach,
just minutes away
There
is a nice walkway alongside
Some
lads enjoying the view
It
is school holiday time and some children were playing in the water. Not to be
recommended as the lagoon can be quite polluted as it is filled with a river
that runs through settlements.
A
plaque telling of the wreck of the Commodore II with some of the huge ship's
timbers behind the sign where she beached. Table Bay is littered with
shipwrecks due to the violent Cape storms. On one such occasion in another
century, nearly 40 sailing ships were sunk in the bay

ship’s story
