9. Enjoy unique cuisine with Bunny Chow
 |
This is one of the typical dishes of South Africa that you should not miss when visiting South Africa. This strangely named dish is a type of curry served in a special "bowl" made of hollowed out bread, the hollowed out part will be placed on top of the "bread bowl". Bunny chow is originally a vegetarian dish, but today, people have transformed and made it more diverse with ingredients such as beans, chicken, lamb, beef... A characteristic that makes Bunny more special than other types of curry is the flavor it creates when the sauce in the curry penetrates deep into the bread crust. Because it originated from India, the main flavor of bunny chow is still the characteristic hot and spicy taste and the irresistible attractive aroma of traditional curry.
