If there was anything that could get me to pack my bags and move back to dreary London, it wouldn't be for friends, family or money. Ho-no.

It would be for Subway sandwiches. These rolls are like the bunnychow of the health-concious, the shining beacon of fast food that outplays all competitors. When greasy KFC and fatty McDonalds gang up to attack Gotham, Batman better move aside for a caped Subway sandwhich that will be there, tights on, ready to defeat the evildoers. It's that good.

So you can imagine the utter shock I experienced while walking around the Ballito Junction yesterday, only to turn the corner and come face-to-face with this: A Subway store. In KZN. Un-fucking believable!

Well before heading out to catch Radar Complex and Habit To at Glass Magic Castle, I did my regular stop in at Zack's on Windermere Road [ex Naked on 9th Ave].

For those that haven't stopped by this venue yet, for either a sundowner to ease into the weekend, or to start the pre-clubbing shenanigans, Zack's is a great chilled spot for a Friday night, and the perfect warm up for a night out.

I had the pleasure of eating at Green Mango the other week, on 9th Avenue at the Spar centre. It's a slightly unconventional combination of Thai and Japanese, but that certainly doesn't affect the quality of either of the two culinary streams. And the sushi is simply amazing.

On Thursday night I took a sneak peak at Umhlanga's newest hotspots, Boogie's Rock 'n Roll Diner and Raffles Nightclub. Hand-in-hand, these two venues are guaranteed to become the flagships of the Umhlanga social scene.

Everyone has been talking lately about Florida Road’s latest addition, Taco Zulu. I finally had a chance to check it out last night, and needless to say the place is fantastic.
