Completely partied out, all I wanted was a toasted chicken mayo sandwich after a big night out. I remembered having a good one before and proceeded to order the toasted red pepper pesto chicken mayo sandwich. The waitress suggested that I have it on the sour dough bread. I was all up for that as long as they removed the tomato. Well hey presto! The sandwich arrives on brown bread (fine, but why did you suggest something that you weren’t going to give me anyway) and with tomato not only in the sandwich but in the side salad as well. And to top it all off- who puts cucumber in a toasted sandwich? Ever? What has happened to the Cape Town standards of food and service that I was always welcomed home to? So disappointing and surprising in the middle of season. I guess I’ll just stay home and cook next time.
