REASONS FOR SUPPORTING CANSA, WESTERN CAPE
The National Cancer Registry estimates that about 1 in 4 South Africans will develop a cancer in their lifetime and cancer is currently the third most common killer in South African adults between 15 and 64 years.
The Western Cape Province is experiencing a noticeable increase in the number of cancer patients referred due to the following reasons :
  • International and National move towards a primary health care approach
  • Structural changes in the provincial health/social service department which have led to the downsizing of manpower/resources of tertiary, regional and local hospitals
  • Increase in referrals of patients needing home based care and lack of inpatient facilities for terminal care, symptom control and relief to family members

Noon Gun Restaurant & Tearoom – Bo-Kaap
Tailored for tourists
**

Eating out should be an experience to relish. You go not only to enjoy the food and the company, but also the surroundings and the services. If you want one of the most breathtaking views from the beauty of the Bo-Kaap, the Noon Gun Restaurant & Tearoom is the best place for it. We visited this restaurant on a day when Cape Town showed off its best colours to its residents and the countless visitors floating all over the city.

The one thing I like about this place is the fact that the owners found an alternate way to use their home by turning one section into an impromptu restaurant, including a section that could be used for outdoor, undercover eating. But it is nothing fancy. The décor is simple. A comfortable couch is located in one corner and there is place for about 50 people at the scattered tables. Most of the emphasis is on the large windows all round to give visitors the maximum view of the magnificent Table Mountain, right down to Table Bay Harbour and the Waterfront.

The one thing visitors need to be mindful of though, is the steep roads. If you are not used to driving on such roads, you would be well advised to take the round about drive along Yusuf Drive rather than take the more direct road which is so steep it is actually scary. Parking outside the premises could be problematic when it is full. Since it is a residential address, there is only place for three or four vehicles at a time. Everyone else has to park on the pavement of a road that is not too wide to start with.

One inside, do not bother looking for a menu to read. You won’t find any. The very sweet Malaysian waitress will recite it all for you. But I did find it bothersome that there was only one set menu for the day and you had no choice about what was offered. We were served with a papadam, dalchie, samosa and glass of punch to start with – all of which was very nice. The punch was particularly refreshing and not to worry, if you ask for more, you will get an entire pitcher full, though I must admit, it rather reminded me of an Eat & Treat.

Then came the main course and for a table full of locals, that came as a disappointment - three little bowls full curry and rice, chicken breyani and vegetable curry, served with a tiny bowl of vegetable atchar and grated cucumber salad. The chicken breyani was one of the tastiest I have every tasted and highly recommended. The only problem is that there are not enough of it; not to feed four hungry people seconds anyway. The Vegetable curry was not a hit, and the mutton curry was a touch too watery to be enjoyable unless you were starving. However, the milktart and coffee served as dessert made up for it.

In all, the Noon Gun Restaurant is more geared towards the tourist than local market. Locals may be more interested in the tearoom facility, which is not only more affordable, but also very tasty, judging by the response of other patons. However, at R80 a head, for a set menu - and that being your only choice - it may be way too steep for most of us. It was most disappointing, especially after we paid R300 for four people and still left feeling hungry. Consequently, the Noon Gun Restaurant & Tearoom scores a temperate two stars.
