However, I arrived JUST in time for orientation – literally, I got off the plane, went straight to my studio apartment (yes, I am currently living my best life), and went to orientation. Having a township meal is a delicious way to explore South African culture.I’ve been in South Africa for approximately two weeks now, and it has been quite an experience! My original flight got canceled TWICE, so I ended up arriving a day later than my peers. For dessert, it’s standard to have a hot and sweet malva pudding with custard or ice cream. Here you’ll dine buffet style, sampling typical delicacies like tripe, farmers sausage, lamb, baked chicken, salad with olives and tomatoes, maize pudding and chakalaka, a spicy South African relish with onions, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, curry powder, chili powder and green chili. I was able to sample a tasty township meal in Johannesburg’s Soweto township at a venue called Sakhumzi Restaurant (6980 Vilakazi Street), located right across the street from Nelson Mandela’s old house (which is now a museum) and adjacent to Desmond Tutu’s family home. Traditional malva pudding drenched in custard One type of cuisine not to miss out on is traditional township food. That being said, in South Africa you won’t just find one standard set of dishes, as the country’s rich and turbulent history and its melting pot of cultures has lead to everything from spicy Malaysian to hearty Italian to rich French dishes and beyond. With access to a wide array of meats - including many exotic varieties like springbok, zebra and ostrich - as well as fresh produce and seafood, visitors can sample delicious dishes made with high-quality ingredients. Food is a major reason people love to visit South Africa.
