ENJOY FINE DINING AT HOME
FYN is bringing fine-dining flair to your living room during level 4, with two menu options available for delivery.

The second option is the FYN family menu, perfect for sharing around the kitchen table. Expect free range Boran Beef Wellington with truffle jus, roast carrots and shallots, followed by a chocolate and hazelnut brownie, raspberries and tarragon crème fraiche. The menu changes from time to time, so visit the FYN website for updates.

EAT LIKE A TIGER KING
Famous for its “dude food”, Tiger’s Milk has included a new “exotic” menu inspired by the Netflix documentary Tiger King. There is, of course, the Crouching Tiger: seared tuna with edamame beans, cashew nuts, cucumber, cabbage, pineapple, avo, sesame seeds and creamy wasabi dressing. The Bask-in Beer & Cheese Burger consists of a 180g pure beef patty, streaky bacon, and Tiger's Milk Lager & mature cheddar sauce. If you’re going for pizza, The Exotic Sirloin Pizza is fit for a king: it includes strips of flame-grilled sirloin tossed in chimichurri and garlic, mozzarella, peppadews and Parmesan shavings. You can even order dessert - the options are a chocolate brownie or cheesecake.
Areas: Delivery is available from the Kloof Street, Claremont, Century City, Durbanville/Village Square, Muizenburg and Blouberg stores.
How to order: You can order via Mr Delivery, Uber Eats, Bolt Food or the Tiger’s Milk Website.
CREATE YOUR OWN ICE CREAM SANDWICH
Who doesn’t love ice cream? And everyone loves cookies. Put those two together and you get a delightfully colourful combo. You may know Crumbs and Cream from their pink and yellow truck at the V&A Waterfront and their Sea Point store, but now you can order their famous ice cream sandwiches as a takeaway. Choose any two different cookies, like choc chip, red velvet or even milk tart, then pick your ice cream of choice and any of their tasty toppings and spreads (think Smarties and Nutella). They also have vegan options.
Areas: They only deliver in a 5km radius from their Sea Point store. Further deliveries for selected areas will be available as well.
How to order: Call or WhatsApp 081 343 2761, or order via OrderIn, Uber Eats, Mr.D and Bolt Food.
