\"\"<\/a>MasterChef SA Season 2 is the talk of the country, and we have another 9 weeks of viewing to look forward to in the next two months. To warm things up a little, we have launched two competitions, the first being a prediction of who will win MasterChef SA in episode 26.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

We are also running a\u00a0weekly prize<\/strong><\/span> for the correct prediction of who our readers think will be chopped out of the MasterChef SA. For the correct prediction of who will leave MasterChef SA in episode 8 on 3 July,\u00a0Cheyne’s in Hout Bay<\/strong><\/a><\/span> has generously offered a R400 dinner voucher for two persons for the correct prediction.<\/p>\n

Capetonians can enjoy Chef Cheyne Morrisby\u2019s Australasian-infused South African cuisine at his new restaurant on the Main Road in Hout Bay. Chef Cheyne is hands-on in the kitchen, yet makes time to greet each table. \u00a0He previously worked at Blues, and a planned one year job in London became an eleven year one, working at the Conran Group restaurants. In this time he cooked for Kate Moss, Kylie Mynogue, and Robbie Williams. \u00a0He traveled to the East, including Thailand and Indonesia, and his cooking style is that of the Pacific Rim. \u00a0He loves their cooking methods, their simple approach to ingredients, and keeping food simple, fresh, clean; and uncomplicated. They use base flavours to give food a good foundation. \u00a0He decided to return to Cape Town with his family, wanting them to\u00a0\u2018feel\u2019 <\/em>Africa, and also wanting to give back to his home country.\u00a0He owned Cheyne’s in the city centre, and then moved to the Franschhoek Kitchen at Holden Manz, before reopening Cheyne’s in Hout Bay.<\/p>\n

The menu is changed monthly, and carries an introduction by Chef Cheyne, describing his approach to cuisine: \u2018I am passionate about influences and unique flavours from the Pan Asian\/Pacific Rim region that stretches across South East Asia, Japan, Singapore, to Australia and New Zealand. I hope that you enjoy the food journey<\/em>\u2018. There are about six starter\"\"<\/a> and main course options, and three dessert choices. \u00a0Everything sounds special yet unusual, one not finding the combination of ingredients offered by Cheyne\u2019s elsewhere on a local menu. \u00a0On the starter list there is crispy Crayfish tempura, miso, garlic chive wonton, and sauce shumai; Roasted rice cakes, Red Dragon sauce, toasted sesame, and coconut flakes; Beef Tataki, miso, mirin and English mustard, and Tempura onion crown; Pork belly\u00a0ssam, crisp baby gem leaves, Chinese mustard and XO sauce; Keralan spiced squid, green chilli puree, red kimchi and coconut jelly; and sticky duck, pear noodles, star anise and ginger glaze. All starters range from R40 – R55.<\/p>\n

Chef Cheyne\u2019s speciality is pork belly, and it was tender and filling, topped with the most delicious crackling, served with an unusual corn and cumin pur\u00e9e, Fuji apple tempura, coconut dumplings, and soy and maple sauce. \u00a0Other main courses, none costing more than R95, are 48 hour Beef Short Rib, confit fingerling potatoes, braised daikon with a dashi reduction; Malaysian Laksa, grilled linefish and tiger prawns, warm cucumber noodles, and nori dust; Ramen noodles with Korean BBQ pork, bamboo shoots, spring onion, and poached egg; and Ramen\u00a0noodles with white sesame and ginger chicken, prawn dumpling, and poached egg. \u00a0The dessert list is short and sweet, each item costing R45: Fried apple pie, kaya paste, sticky miso, sour cream ice cream; white chocolate and toasted sesame semi freddo, with banana tempura; and a delectable pear cinnamon and ginger tarte tatin with tamarind ice cream. The winelist contains two brands per major wine varietals, and almost all are available per bottle and by the glass. Corkage is charged at R30 per bottle.<\/p>\n
