Discovering the Harties area, lipstick and Tabard in tow...

Just call me the bundu basher, I shall remain anonymous. I packed my leopard print suitcases and relocated to Harties. From city to the bush. In my stilettos, lipstick and Cosmopolitan in hand, I have set out to explore and discover all the opportunities that this place has to offer. Visiting restaurants, adventure activities, shops and other 'hidden gems', I shall review each new experience... one bush wack at a time. Here goes, I am trading in my high heels and lipstick, for bundu shoes & tabard.

Pick a Pancake


Savoury or sweet? Pick a Pancake has it all - taking pancakes into a new league.

Sunday breakfast was spent at this local restaurant, located in the heart of the Welwitschia Market, Harties.

Walking into the restaurant, it's as if someone blew up a can of cow paint.  Besides the over-used cow print design, which does actually create a homely feel to the place, there are a hundreds, and I mean hundreds of cow accessories everywhere

My boyfriend and I, were rudely joined for breakfast, by Maisy the giant cow. See her above. See her big eyes. She watched us as we ate... she watched us as we talked. Yes, Maisy the stalker cow.

Looking at the menu, with its long list of sweet pancakes and savoury ones, it was hard to choose what to eat... it was hard to pick a pancake.
The BULL - a pancake with sausage, cheese, bacon bits; plus mushrooms, onion and 2 fried eggs on the side, was what I ordered. I must say, it is great value for money - my meal could have fed the whole of Ethiopia.

It was delish, although the mince was a bit to beefy (personal taste) and it lacked a touch of salt. With all the cows and their milk splashed around the restaurant, I think the chefs might have forgotten that milk is not the only ingredient in the world and that salt is also important too.

Service was slightly slow, but besides these petty things - it was an overall delightful breakfast. It's nice to find these hidden gems, these unique places that can't be found anywhere else, only in Harties.

Whether you have a sweet tooth, or a savoury one - GO PICK A PANCAKE!
