Get a Taste of South African Hospitality and Treats

If you’re in Brisbane and love learning about other cultures, treat yourselves by visiting the South African grocery store Biltong and Jerky Hut, Kallangur.

Why I recommend visiting the shop if you’re looking for couple things to do in Brisbane:

The South African couple that owns the shop offers visitors free samples of biltong and coffee with an invitation to stay and chat for a bit. It’s the perfect place to learn more about the Afrikaner culture if you dream of visiting South Africa one day and would appreciate a taste of the South African hospitality and treats. Or if you are perhaps South African and feeling a bit homesick!

Make it fun by trying to learn a new Afrikaans word from the owners every time you go! If you’re a coffee lover, learning the Afrikaans word “Koffie” is easy!

My top 3 recommendations for things to try and buy at the shop are:

1. Afrikaner Koeksisters – a super sweet, plat-shaped dessert that is a mission to make! It’s also an ideal addition to a romantic picnic surprise or dinner at home after your visit to the shop. Afrikaner koeksisters is so good that of all things it was THE #1 dessert I recommended trying when I was interviewed for a blog on the topic of the most delicious dishes to try all over the world.

2. The Chakalaka Biltong – the tastiest biltong (a form of dried meat) I’ve personally come across and I’m a South African expat so that says a lot!

3. Aromat – it’s the most delicious seasoning to put on eggs or fries!
