DIGITAL EDITOR Heather Hook DIGITAL CONTRIBUTOR Nisha Padayachee PHOTGRAPHY Phillip Santos
Hello Joburgers, I’m about to get real honest here... you see, Father’s Day has never been ‘big’ in my house. I lost my father at a young age, so we don’t really feel the need to celebrate the day. Instead, we shower my mum with gifts twice in the space of two months because she took on the role as dad, as well as mum.
ADMINISTRATON Lorraine Ndlovu
I’ve always considered my older brother to be the ‘father figure’ in my life. He taught me how to ride a bike, how to kick his butt at computer games and how to drive. Although I disliked him greatly as a child, I like to think he instilled a lot of his great character traits within me, and helped mould me into the young lady I am today. Six months ago he became a father for the first time, and gave us a reason to celebrate the day we used to shy away from. Fatherhood suits him – sorry, but I’ve just got to gush a bit there!
DISTRIBUTION John Kasala
In light of Father’s Day, we’ve tried to be a bit more ‘man-friendly’ this month. We’ve got a little gift guide for those who struggle to find the perfect present for Pops, and a gorgeous fashion spread – thank to our collaboration with fashion blog My Lime Boots. If dads a ‘Jozi Guy’, born and bred, he’ll love that. Our beauty editor has also dedicated her Lust List to products every man should try at least once. We’re talking about divine aftershaves, must-have masks and even a lip balm. Don’t worry lads, it’s not flavoured or tinted – we wouldn’t do that to you! Flip through to our travel section because it’s an absolute treat! If dad loves the bush, you’ve got to book him a safari retreat at Mhondoro Game Lodge in Limpopo. Living in the lap of luxury with the Big Five at your doorstep? Honestly, does it get any better?

07h00 Not really an early morning person - believe it’s the early worm that gets eaten. Can’t start the day without BIG mug of tea and some toast. Read death notices in the classified section of the paper, just to check I’m not in. 09h00 Make a point of going into office to see how the day lies. Have a light breakfast at Vovo Telo. Doing a lot of ‘health’ recently, muesli, yoghurt, fruit… revolting. Much prefer a fry up, but diet dictates. 5 www.vovotelo.co.za 12h00 Main meal of the day is lunch. I work most nights, so can’t really eat. I try and do a daily hour at gym, or run 5km’s every other day. Try and have a power nap for about 45 mins. 16h00 Start preparing for the gig. Pick out outfit, shoes and route that will be taken. Confirm all details with event organiser and venue personally. 19h30 Showtime! Body goes through adrenaline rush, slow rush, fear, horror, excitement and trepidation. Using all elements available to enthrall an audeience. 23h00 Home. Don’t do late nights anymore. Have to read myself to sleep - can’t sleep otherwise. Once asleep… I’m un-wakeable. Next day, repeat! Hello Joburg • June 2017 • Hellojoburg.co.za

H
ello Joburgers, there’s nothing quite like a pampering period and taking some time out for you. Let’s face it, as much as we all love to profess superwoman powers, we also need some R&R. Cue Urban Sass salon in Sandton.
The salon is located inside the Nedbank building on the corner of Maude and Rivonia Road. Not only is it in a pristine location, but it’s also a boutique salon – sophisticated, classy and suitable for today’s modern woman. It feels homey, unpretentious and of course, ever so luxurious!
PUTTING THE SASS BACK INTO URBAN JOZI
We recommend booking a Gelish pedicure with Cleo and a blow-dry with Eloise. Both completed within one hour! You heard us right. The service is stellar and the products are too. Expect only the finest in Kevin Murphy hair products and Kerastase hair care. Let your hair do the talking! This store introduces a bespoke and exclusive experience, and it gets double thumbs up from us! Closed on Sundays and Mondays. Shop L01, Nedbank Head Office, corner 135 Rivonia Road and Maude Street, Sandton. 1 011 783 0902 t @UrbanSass @urban_sass
DAY DREAMS AND ICE CREAMS

The way the cookie crumbles…
y caramba! The insta-famous Crumbs & Cream has officially hit the streets of Jozi. Say hello to ice cream sarmies with rainbow sprinkles, cinnamon swirls and gooey biscuits. We could not be more hysterical about the fact that this ice-cream sandwich boutique store has finally arrived.
For those health nuts out there, there are Banting biscuit options and yummy vegan ice cream, as well as sugar free ice cream flavours. Now there’s really no excuse not to become a fan of these sweet geniuses! Illovo Junction, corner of Oxford Road and Corlett Drive. Open daily from 11am to 11pm. 5 www.crumbsandcream.co.za | 1 081 343 2761 t @crumbscream | @crumbs_and_cream
The offering and flavour is mouthgasmicly delish, and the store is just as explosive. Sitting comfortably in Illovo Junction, this spot has its game face on! It embraces every colour of the rainbow, but takes it up a notch by transporting you back to your childhood - which no doubt encapsulated pure joy and fun.

We recommend the following flavours… Apple Pie, Yogi Berry, Turkish Delight, Ferrero Rocher, Nutella, Snickers, Cookie Dough, Caramel Fudge, Coconut Chocolate, Banana Fudge, Oreo Monster and Real-Chocolate. Hello Joburg • June 2017 • Hellojoburg.co.za
Words Bianca Spinner
Life is short, so we always believe in eating dessert first. Imagine thick, syrupy, sugary hazelnut chocolate ice cream enveloped by two crisp peanut butter and Oreo cookies. Oozing with delight and topped off with vanilla fudge, rainbow sprinkles and sour gummies. Hello happiness, it’s nice to sweet you!

CRAFTY DINING Craft is a word that is synonymous with the artsy area of Parkhurst. The regulars on any given night are people with a genuine appreciation for the rustic finishes and delightful food. The menu has something for everyone, but the Fig & Brie pizza (figs, brie and olive tapenade, drizzled with honey) takes the cake any day. Try the chocolate truffle served with cream and berry compote - yum!

ALL YOUR COFFEE NEEDS A French toast meal seems a simple dish, until you have it at 4th Avenue Coffee Roasters. Served with fresh fruit, nuts, syrup and cinnamon… a delectible taste inspired by simplicity. You walk in and the first thing you realise is the unapologetic use of pink décor. To the founders of this coffee haven, pink is more a mantra and an attitude than a colour. Sampling the bean: 100% Arabica coffee beans are processed to give you a complex and full-bodied blend of coffee that Parkhurst locals have dubbed the Legendary Pink.

ou would be forgiven for thinking that you’d stepped in to The Balthazar restaurant in New York when first entering the Maximillien restaurant.

MEMORABLE From the dark wood panelling, mirrors and red upholstery, to the black and white checked floors and intricately pressed ceilings, slipping back to the 1920’s is highly possible.
What can only be described as one of Sandton’s most well-known restaurants, the Maximillien is a stalwart of fine dining at its best. Floor to ceiling windows allow in soft natural light during the day, and create a picturesque view for evening dining. Located in the bustling heart of Sandton, with easy access from Nelson Mandela Square and Sandton City, this is the place to go if you are looking for great food, attentive service and the gentle, melodic strains of a live piano in the background. Behind the scenes, Chef Sylvester Nair keeps the engines churning in the kitchen, as dishes (filled with love and passion) pour out of its doors. Open six days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the team at the Maximillien know how to keep things interesting and diverse. The menu, which has just been released, is an amazing combination of flavours and an interesting take on French and New York cuisines… all succinctly combined to present one with a dining experience like no other. Chef Sylvester places his own touch on the dishes. Think nasturtium garnishes, jasmine flavoured pearls, and rice coloured with squid ink to give a different spin on a traditional side dish.

Make it
cover feature
Amazing flavours, taste combinations and stylish plate presentation are to be expected when eating here. Beaming smiles and the feeling that you’ve somehow switched off from the hustle and bustle of the city, are just some of the reasons that make it well worth the visit. Growing up in Verulam, north of Durban, Chef Sylvester was around food from a young age. His father and grandmother were chefs, and he recalls his father taking him in to the kitchen to show him the hospitality industry - in what he suspects was an attempt to ‘knock it out of him’. To be honest, we’re very glad that it didn’t! After completing his studies, Chef Sylvester worked at some of the top restaurants in Cape Town and Durban, before heading through to join the team at the Davinci Hotel. A dry sense of humour and a wicked laugh make Chef Sylvester an absolute treat. His clear pride and joy in every dish he creates is something to behold. He admits he loves to make people happy, and he speaks through his food – when he sees people enjoying their meal and having a fantastic dining experience, it truly makes him happiest. The kitchen team make sure to source the best, freshest products available to them, and many of the dishes are slow cooked to ensure they are served at their most tender. For example, the braised lamb neck slowly cooks for 12 hours, until it’s literally falling off the bone, and the buttermilk marinated squid tentacles were so delicious, we almost ordered another plate to share. Pastry chef David is Chef Sylvester’s protégé. His desserts are already out of this world – so make sure you sample the brie white chocolate volcano. Trust us, it is delicious! An ‘any occasion’ type of restaurant, the Maximillien certainly comes highly recommended. From family brunch to a business meeting or even a romantic dinner, you’re certainly sorted at this beautifully appointed spot.

Friday is a day for the unconventional - rather than mere dress down. The Jozi Guy’s chosen mode of transport hints at a rebellious nature lurking behind his tailored exterior. His café racer is his go-to for the standing appointment with friends. Time to wind down the week that was.
Location is key to his enjoyment. This Friday, he seeks out a venue not widely known amongst his circle. He connects with elements of a shared local history at the Transvaal Scottish Regimental Headquarters, relishing the respite offered by the fine leather chesterfield couch. His three-piece suit, cut from a traditional cloth, continues his personal salute to a bygone era. However, he stamps his personal style on this classic piece using modern, slim-fit tailoring.

Attention to detail ensures he always turns heads when entering a room. A handmade lilac shirt from the finest cotton is complimented by a satin pocket square, folded in the avante-garde rose style. Looking to play with texture, he knots himself a burgundy knit tie. To round the look off, he opts for a classic timepiece, finished in chocolate brown. Friends play a vital role in this Jozi Guys life. He takes time to enjoy a catch up session every Friday afternoon, and often calls for a fine cognac in celebration of their shared experiences. Having bid his friends farewell, he takes time to truly absorb this amazing city, walking its streets and bridges as his soul finds contentment in the place he calls home.

Words Victoria Taylor
here do we start? The finger-licking good food? The on trend décor? The ‘come right in’ atmosphere? Hello Joburgers, if good food is your life, you should have a standing reservation at Lima Tapas Bar in Montecasino.
You’ll be greeted with a smile downstairs, before being ushered up into foodie heaven. The lights are low, the tables and chairs are all wood and leather, and the bar is lit up like a thirst-quenching beacon. The décor is trendy, the staff friendly and fun – it’s a winner all round. The sheer variety of Latin American fusion food will quicken your breath, but calm down - you can do this. The dishes are designed to be shared after all. Although, we wouldn’t judge if you didn’t. From traditional tacos, fresh ceviche and lobster rolls to (get this) Sushi Burgers! That’s right, delicious salmon, fresh avocado, red cabbage and heaps of mayo sandwiched between two cakes of rice, and topped with sesame seeds. These are a definite must-try!
We opted to be greedy and order all at once, asking for dishes to be served when they were ready. First to arrive was the Pork Empanadas – perfect little pastry parcels packed with juicy meat. Three portions per plate, so feel free to fight over that last one. Next, we dived into a Platos Pequeños (small plate) of pork ribs, topped with fresh micro tatsoi. These morsels were so juicy, so perfectly basted in a sweet, sticky sauce, that we were still licking our fingers when our mountain of nachos arrived. Crisp tortilla chips smothered in cheese and chicken mince, with guacamole, cream Mexicana and salsa on the side. Every couple of mouthfuls, you get smacked with a little hit of nacho spice – and it is divine!
dining out
Then the sushi arrived… and we had our first glimpse of that infamous Sushi Burger. Needless to say, it didn’t disappoint. Be warned, you’ll need a knife and fork for this one. We tucked into Maki, Sashimi and Roses… but the Salmon was the real winner. It tasted so fresh, you’d be forgiven for thinking it had hopped out the water and straight onto your plate.
Don’t be surprised if you have to roll out of there. We did – with humongous grins on our faces!
Now, we paired this feast with a chilled glass of Durbanville Hills Sauvignon Blanc, but the drinks menu at Lima is just as varied as their food selection. Cocktails, stellar gins, rums and whiskeys… they’ve got it all! They’ve even got some cigars to go with it. For dessert, we highly recommend the Ferrero Rocher Chocolate Cake. Need we say more?

PARC FERMÉ MARTHINUS FERREIRA
Head chef at DW-eleven-13
His greatest pleasure in his progressive modern contemporary eatery is serving diners more than just dinner, but an experiential journey. He prides himself on his passion for unlikely pairings with interesting flavour combinations, such as the dukkah impala and pear atchar currently on his menu.

Marthinus fell in love with food as he entered his teenage years, realizing that he could stand in front of the stove and create something really special. Today, he takes risks in his upmarket eatery where every employee is passionate about culinary creativity and guests feel right at home; but with a much more sophisticated plated offering. Where sweet meets savoury, his intimate French inspired menu focuses on modern contemporary cuisine, with a hint of South African influence in the ingredients and flavor fusions. He dreams of a meal prepared by Chef David Kinch, who operates Manresa, a restaurant in Los Gatos, California. Manresa has been awarded three Michelin stars! When asked what he would pay almost anything for in a restaurant, Marthinus said it would have to be exotic sea urchin, one of the world’s greatest culinary pleasures where unique flavor and unparalleled indulgence awaits.

Words Brett R Palframan
Set a goal Not really into running? Set another goal – like losings a few kilos, or a five percent reduction in body fat. Stick a photo of that swimwear you want to buy on the fridge. When you see it (knowing that as each day passes, you’re closer to hitting the beach this summer), you’re going to happily close that fridge door and grab the skipping rope instead. There’s nothing like a picture to motivate you. Focus on the benefits The gravitational pull of your bed is strong at 6am, especially when it is cold and dark outside. That’s why you need to remind yourself about the benefits of exercise. You want to manage your stress levels, have an abundance of energy and feel good about yourself rather than falling asleep at your desk,

RAISING THE BARRE…
NEW & NOTEWORTHY Welcome Wellness Warehouse!
Here’s some (un)surprising news… sugar is bad for you. These days, we’re so in tune with our bodies and connected to oodles of information, that there is a need for places like Wellness Warehouse. What we love the most is that’s it’s a one-stop shop. Grab a smoothie and hemp seed wrap whilst ticking off your weekly shopping list at the grocer, and then buying your fave organic beauty products and vitamins. WW is a health inspired, down-to-earth society that we’re delighted to be a part of. We probably still indulge in Fat Friday at the office, but we’ll make healthier choices - especially with their selection of local, imported and organic goodies in store. Expect an extensive variety of health foods like activated charcoal, dairy alternatives, superfoods, grains and legumes, sauces, spices and functional foods. Pop into the Wellness Café and try the Fatty Boom Boom Smoothie. Firstly - that name! Secondly, it’s downright delicious (and nutritious)! This peanut butter, coconut water and milk, banana, avo and raw cacao concoction is sure to cure sweet cravings! Also try the Matcha latte with a slice of the vegan coconut lime cake, which consists of gluten free flour, coconut flour, coconut blossom sugar and coconut milk and oil with lime juice and zest. So we say yay to creating healthy habits, not restrictions and high five to WW!

I
t’s finally dad’s turn, as Father’s Day approaches. He might tell you not to fuss, but let’s be honest – here’s a guy who probably needs some time out and spoiling. For all those times he chauffeured you back and forth, and those hours invested in teaching you to ride a bike – dedicate a day to dad. TO MANSCAPE OR NOT? WHAT: Dad could use a little pampering of the manly kind of course! WHERE: If he hasn’t yet discovered the bliss that is Sorbet Man, then HJ is about to change your dad’s life. The popular franchise now has a dedicated salon for the guys that will take care of everything from close shaves to some serious deep tissue massages. Think threading is just for the ladies? Think again! Sorbet Man will take care of dad from top to toe. WHERE TO START: In honour of the day, why not opt for the 9th hole treatment - haircut, hot towel, shave & manicure – with an extra shot of whiskey.

HIT SOME BALLS WHAT: Start the day on one of Jozi’s many golf-courses. 9-holes or a visit to the driving range is a great way to spend some quality time with dad, and get some exercise! There’s no shortage of courses to choose from. WHERE: If you had to pin us down on which course we’d chose, this one would be on our top 5 list. Just over an hour’s drive from Jozi is Pecanwood Golf and & Country Club in Harties. One of Jack Nicklaus’s courses, Pecanwood is considered one of the country’s golfing gems. HERE’S THE DISH: Pecanwood is the first of Jack Nicklaus’s signature golf courses in the Southern Hemisphere. As for who this Jack character is, for the less golf educated amongst us, Jack William Nicklaus (nicknamed The Golden Bear), is a retired American professional golfer. THERE’S MORE: Fancy a game of tennis, laps in the pool or a spa day? Pecanwood has a host of other facilities to explore. You could make a whole day of it! 5 www.pecanwood-golf.co.za; www.pecanwood.co.za GRAB A LEKKER LUNCH WHAT: The Pecanwood Club House is a good place for a light snack, but there are some old favourites and lesser knowns spots to stop for grub, if you do decide to hang around and grab a bite in Haarties. WHERE: If dad’s a foodie (as in Brie Fillet and Teriyaki Seared Salmon will hit the spot), then we highly recommend the Silver Orange Bistro. Situated on a green citrus orchard, Executive Chef Leon Nel serves contemporary African cuisine in a beautiful, laid back setting. The food is sublime. The only drawback – you may have to take mum along to avoid an episode of serious FOMO. Make sure to book! If dad is a simple man with simple needs, the Windmill Restaurant in Haarties is a good idea. A great setting with strong coffee and that real family feeling. 5 www.silverorangebistro.co.za 1 012 259 1183

OF THE MONTH
Uitkyk 10-Year-Old Grand Reserve Brandy
I
f you’re going to drink brandy, you’ve got to do it right. Forget the brandy and cokes – we’ve found you a new favourite…
Launch date: December 2016 How it’s made: The brandy is distilled, matured and bottled on the idyllic and historic Stellenbosch Wine Estate. It’s made from the finest selection of Chenin Blanc, Cinsaut and Clairette Blanche grapes. The base wine is double distilled in batches, using 1800 litre Savalle potstills imported from France in the late 1940s. The smaller pots and double distillation contributes to a rich, flawless and flavourful spirit. The spirit from each cultivar was matured separately, first for 10 months in new Limousin French Oak barrels before spending the remaining 10 year period in third-fill Limousin French Oak. The final blend had an eight months marrying period before bottling, resulting in an elegant, soft and well-balanced brandy. Flavors: On the palate it displays a potpourri of flavours including fruit, vanilla, cloves and other spices. Cool fact: Some years a Cabernet Sauvignon is added to the blend. Try one: Get a bottle of the Uitkyk 10-Year-Old Grand Reserve online for only R495 through Vinotèque. Visit www.vinoteque.co.za/collections/uitkyk and have a bottle delivered straight to your door!
In a tall tumble glass, combine 35ml of Uitkyk 10-Year-Old Grand Reserve Brandy with 2 to 3 dashes of Angostura Bitters over ice. Top up with ginger ale, garnish with a twist of lemon peel and serve. 5 www.uitkyk.co.za t @Uitkyk_Wines

travel HOME OF THE RHINO Mhondoro Game Lodge in the Waterberg, Welgevonden Game Reserve
N
estled in nature, in the spirit of the African Bush lies this five star safari experience. This first-class luxury escape radiates an authentic African spirit, and oozes the very heart in all that we love and appreciate about being African.
Home to a system of over sixteen streams and rivers fed by crystal clear mountain water, the Mhondoro Game Lodge basks in nature and all her glory. Mhondoro is family owned by a Dutch couple, Frank and Myriam Vogel, who have a passion for South Africa and its wildlife. Watch herds of elephants sip out of the main lodge pool at lunch time, witness a family of rhinos drink the fresh water from the water hole in front of the lodge, or sit in the underground waterhole hide, gazing at the zebra passing by. You’re so close you can hear them masticate, you can hear their hoofs scrape the red earth… you can even hear them breath. It truly is one of the most captivating wildlife experiences between humans and creatures.
48
You could say it’s strange how such magic exists right on our doorstep, but also strange to ignore it. The Waterberg is a place where water spills out of every cavity and fig trees stand majestic and tall. The flora is in bloom and the ever-changing landscape is Hello Joburg • June 2017 • Hellojoburg.co.za
Words Bianca Spinner
Is there any other place on earth you can fall asleep to the calls of the spotted eagle owls? And then wake up to the most resplendent African sunrise? Is there any other location where you can rest and relax in isolation - in five star opulence - in the middle of the bush? Well it seems we found just the spot. The only issue is, we never wanted to leave.
Winter Break Special Mhondoro Game Lodge has introduced a ‘Local Winter Break’ for South Africans that offers 20% discount on 2-nights stays between 1 May and 31 August 2017. The special offer is valid mid-week only and is subject to availability for SA Residents only. Discounted rates start at R3920 per person sharing per night in a Deluxe room, inclusive of twice daily safari activities, all meals and soft drinks, as well as local beers and select house wines.

Around every corner there lies a new setting, a new ecosystem awaits - and when your only problem is spotting the wildebeest amongst the rhino, then you know you’ve found nirvana.
Mhondoro Yoga & Detox Programme - 19 to 24 June. The programme consists of a (pretox) 3 day phasing, a 3 day juice fast (detox), a (retox) building for 3 days, spa treatments, yoga sessions, bush walks and safaris, meditation and personal coaching.
It feels as if Welgevonden has more rhinos than the whole of South Africa. It’s the most beautiful sight to see amongst a world of poachers. There are fifty white rhino, and any place where they flourish is a place we want to be. Mhondoro is not just about the rhino; we also saw leopard, cheetah, elephants and countless giraffes and zebra, as well as a pack of jackals basking in the sunshine. Thanks to the stringent antipoaching measures, these animals are all protected.
Need to know • Your stay includes two game drives per day, three meals and/or guides safari walks. • It’s a malaria-free safari lodge.They host the big five! (Incredibly) It’s only two and a half hours drive from Joburg. • It’s a 50 minute flight from Johannesburg, and there are daily flights. • It’s located in the Limpopo Province. • The reserve encompasses 37 500 hectares. • The lodge has been rebuilt and renovated since 2015. • They have an offsite meetings and function facility that can accommodate up to ten people. • There’s a full spa and gym. • There is an outdoor jungle gym for the kids.
At the epicentre of the bush is the lodge. The furniture is locally sourced and has an eco-friendly charm - an all-natural aesthetic with a European flair. We had a two-night stay, but highly recommend a three-night safari. The lodge sleeps twenty guests in total, so it’s ideal for a family celebration, a milestone birthday, family vacation and even a honeymoon. There is also a six-sleeper villa with its own butler, pool, kitchen and dining room! One of the standouts of this trip had to be the exquisite dining experience. It’s not often one gets served soft shell crab with coconut soil and chilli saffron ice cream for starters, and peppered ostrich with cauliflower puree for mains. Expect to star gaze on the deck, whilst indulging in a fine dining dinner with a touch of ‘safariesque’ elements. Forget feeling sluggish and slothful after a meal - not at this safari lodge! We just love the fact that all the herbs, vegetables and fruits are mainly grown from their own garden, which is one hundred per cent organic.
