In this episode of Hammy Eats, Nick Hamman lands in sunny Berea, Morningside, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of a true Durban culinary institution: Oriental Restaurant and Takeaway! 🇿🇦🍛
If you think you know South African comfort food, you haven't truly lived until you've experienced a legendary Durban bunny chow from the place that’s been perfecting it since 1986. Nick sits down with the famous Eddie to unpack the massive history, the secret spice blends, and the pure chaos of cooking up to 400 bunnies a day in giant, steaming pots of traditional curry.
From its humble beginnings in the bustling Durban CBD workshop to becoming a star-studded food landmark, Oriental Restaurant and Takeaway is a masterclass in culinary consistency, quality meat, and authentic Durban masala. Forget the knives and forks, we're diving into this trilogy of pure epicness hands-only!
🌶️ Nick gets stuck into:
🌱 The Original 1940s Broad Bean Bunny – Nutty, earthy, and packed with historic Durban flavor
🦐 The Silky Prawn Bunny Chow – A succulent, seafood-infused masterpiece that absorbs the curry perfectly
