After the Rosebank market it was definitely time for lunch so we went to Moyo, a famous restaurant nearby. On Sundays they have a buffet, and it proved to be really tasty. Barbeque is a big thing here and accordingly there were trays of barbequed chicken, sausage and fish, and a great selection of salads and vegetables. The problem with buffets is always making sure you try everything– without eating so much that there’s no room for dessert.

Especially because dessert was so delicious here. They had, among many different cakes, mini creme brulees and a bowl of sugar waiting to be completed with a blow torch. In fact, the man working at the dessert table had wandered off, so I gave myself and unexpected course in blow-torching my own creme brulee… something I may just have to try again!

Afterwards we went for a walk in Zoo Lake (Moyo is located in the same park) and discovered a curiosity. The park was beautiful, the weather was perfect and what could be better than a stroll after lunch? The park was packed with black and Indian families having picnics or renting boats or simply walking around, but although the restaurant had been filled with about 60% whites, there were hardly any to be seen in the park.

Voluntary segregation continues, it seems, but just look at what those who practice it were missing!
