Hello Lizo Lovely to hear from you all the way from South Africa. I've just come back from the Phillipines and ate wonderful seafood in Davao. I'm sure you will enjoy watching the videos because you also like SEAFOOD! Thank you for your support.
My Dear Friend I have lost track of the time. How many years ago did you leave SA? 30 Years? And, the bond we share are so strong! Thank you for watching my videos and supporting me! True friendship is something you can't buy, borrow or steal!
I love Ocean Basket as well, I live in Cyprus, and we have these here. But honestly, the prices are quite high. One platter costs around 40-50 euros, which can be okay here in Europe, but how can people in Africa afford this? This is a mystery to me.
Hi Thank you for watching my video, and also for taking the time to write a comment. Seafood Platters here in Taiwan is also very expensive. So, when we paid R315 and R360 for platters in South Africa, it was only 540 TWD and 617 TWD. I have not ordered a Seafood Platter in Taiwan because it is very, very expensive. If there is lobster on the platter it can cost as much as 2 680 TWD! Cyprus is also expensive because if you convert 40/45/50 Euro it would be R799 in S.A. and 1 370, 1 541 & 1 712 TWD. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Ummm. Countries in Africa e.g. South Africa are like every other country with people who can afford and people who cannot. The prices are also not always directly converted. Look up some research please including more videos on Ocean Basket in Nairobi, South Africa, etc
@electriclady118 Thank you for giving me some feedback. Especially, from South Africa. Another viewer also told me that the quality is dropping in Johannesburg and that they now charge R2 for a roll! This was so disappointing to hear. When we did this video I compared the price we paid in SA to the price of a Seafood Platter in Taiwan. (Here it's so expensive that I've never ordered it at any restaurant.) Luckily, last year I enjoyed amazing seafood in Thailand at affordable prices. Best Seafood Market! Naklua Fish Market, Pattaya, Thailand Thank you for taking the time to write a comment.
Hello Sorry, for only replying now! Do you mean r for South African Rand? When we went to SA in 2022 we paid 4.56 US (R80.17) and 147.06 TWD for the salad. At that time a Greek salad in Taiwan was about 320 TWD. Also the Seafood Platter in SA was much cheaper than Taiwan. We then paid about 1 200 TWD. I'm not sure what we paid for the Platter in SA but it was only about 500 TWD. I just read that, that Platter now costs R455 in SA (834 TWD) I was actually very shocked! Then again, I think, prices in many countries in the world has gone up. Thank you for watching! Have a lovely weekend.
The quality of their food is dropping in Johannesburg. We pay now R2 for 1 roll as an appetiser. I mean, whats that about ( as if they are making more money by cutting off on the quality of each meal)???
Hi This is really disappointing to hear that the quality of their food is dropping. Charging R2 for a roll is terrible! Thank you for taking the time to share this me.
May favorite sea food restaurant in South Africa
