The Bull Run @ Johannesburg


The plan in the evening was to go to The Grand at Rivonia, Johannesburg, which is reputed to be the best strip tease club in the world. (Review : The Grand). However, it was closed. Closed on Sunday? Strange! So, we ended up in a restaurant called The Bull Run, a short walk from our hotel.


The Bull Run is located in the Balalaika Hotel in Sandton.






The restaurant seems to be endoresed by many members of the Security Exchange of South Africa with their signatures in the front and back cover of its menu. The menu itself looks like share price table.


Well, you must have seen a group of westerners coming to our Asian restaurant and ordered a plate of fried rice and found out that one of them have the entire plate of fried rice to himself. That is eating in the western manner. To show them our Asian value, we ate in the Asian manner in The Bull Run. We ordered all the main dishes and put them in the centre of the table for sharing among all of us.


Beef


The oysters were wonderful. It was soaked in brine to the perfect taste. Too bad, Each of us could only have two.


Escargot, of course, in garlic butter. We couldn't find the shell though.


Lobster. Well, I think it tasted the same like those I always eat in Sungai Renggit whenever I go to Desaru.


Prawn. Nothing impressive.


Grilled vegetable. Wow! This one was good.


The beer was the pleasant surprise in the evening. It is the best beer I have tasted till now! Now, I can forget about all those Japanese beer. How do I get this Carling Black Label in Singapore? Anybody knows?



It was a good evening eating and chit chat. We walked our way home at 11pm. None of us were drunk.
