I’m Nick Hamman, and I’m looking for the spiciest chicken in South Africa . Today, your comments have sent me to Al Hamra in Mayfair Johannesburg on the corner of 4th and the iconic church street. Having previously visited another Al Hamra branch is Fordsburg, which you can watch on my page. You guys told me that for even hotter chicken, I had to come here. Braaied outside on the pavement on hot open flames, the smell of the chicken wafts beautifully in the area with the red-hot sauce being applied liberally by Abdul Aziz.

If you're looking for authentic and delicious Mozambican food in South Africa, you need to come to Moza's in Norwood, Johannesburg. As someone who's had the privilege of visiting Mozambique, to me their food is among the best in the world, and I've got to say that here they're doing it just like you'll find it across the border. With a wide variety of options on the menu, one of the characteristic differences is that their chicken is chargrilled, giving it a bold, smoky flavor. Mozambican food is a vibrant fusion of Portuguese, African, and Indian influences, with dishes like peri-peri chicken, from the famous African bird's eye chili, spicy grilled prawns, fresh seafood, and aromatic spices. The food at Moza's reminded me of being back on the white sandy beaches against the backdrop of the ocean, with the air filled by the smell of food cooking outside on an open fire. To me, the pricing was reasonable, with a quarter chicken, six prawns, chips, and a roll going for R189. Classics…

I’m Nick Hamman and I’m looking for the best breakfast in Soweto and I may have just found it, here at Sleez Oceanic in the suburb of Mofolo, but to explain to you why eating this meal almost brought me to tears, I need to wind back the hands of time by about a year when I got a DM from Slee inviting me to come and try her seafood boil. Always eager to support local business, I made the trip out to find a young, entrepreneurial woman, working tirelessly out of her aunt’s home to create delicious seafood in a part of the world where it wasn’t common. One of the biggest takeaways from my visit was Slee telling me of her dreams to open her own spot one day. After my visit, the video went viral and you guys did what you do best, supporting the business in serious numbers. This led to a journey which comes full circle today as Slee has expanded not only her menu, including the famous seafood, pastas and a delicious breakfast menu, but also her spot, opening this beautiful restaurant…
