What is a Bunny Chow?
I scoured Yelp to find new lunch options and found Amawele's Kitchen, the only South African establishment I know of in the city. I braved the abnormal chilly weather to make the trek to the Rincon Center, a place that brings back many memories as a fresh undergrad. The longtimers, Sorabol and Yank Sing, still packed in many lunchgoers. But on a dark corner is an establishment that stands out from the pack- Amawele's- due to their ethnic menu.
After learning about what an authentic bobotie pie is during my trip to Capetown, I couldn't order Amawele's bobotie pie because they used ground beef instead of kudu game meat (duh, there is no kudu in the US!). So I ended up with a humongous and very filling chicken curry with potatoes swimming on a large lump of bread- a South African dish called bunny chow.
Go try it for yourself. While at it, try the bobotie pie too!
