I Joined Zomato – FINALLY!

Now I know this is not a new concept and that I am kind of late to jump on the band wagon, however I am so happy to finally have made the effort to download the APP and interact with people.

This all started a couple of months ago, I started seeing billboards advertising Zomato and I am a lover of food at heart – being Portuguese it’s kind of second nature.

So if you are wondering what Zomato is, take a look at this illustration:

Did you know that Zomato is the world’s fastest-growing restaurant discovery platform, now in 26 countries? Well now you do! I was pretty impressed with the APP in general. It brings together a community of people who love food and know where to find the best food and share it with people.Its really interesting reading about what people think of a certain restaurant but most of all finding a restaurant you never knew existed and it turns out becoming your favourite place to go!

I find myself searching Zomato the minute I get to a restaurant and sit down. Then I check in and let the fun begin. Photos, reviews, great food and laughter! This is literally the Facebook of food!

Another great fact – In South Africa, Zomato is the largest online restaurant guide,with information on over 10,000 restaurants.

Take a look at some of the other great features available on the APP:

In the future you will see more posts all over my social media platforms and my blog about #ZOMATOMEETUP’s. I had my first one last week at Simply Asia, the Thai food and noodle bar. I have actually never been there – shocking I know.

I was pleasantly surprised at how convenient the restaurants are in terms of ambiance and location, there menu’s definitely cater to a variety of dishes so you are not stuck ordering the same thing over and over.

Take a look at the dishes we had during the evening and some of my fun photos I took through the night.

STARTER: Sushi Platter

MAIN: #603 Ba -Mee Phad Thaley

DESSERT: Chocolate Spring Rolls, Thai Angels, Coconut Cake and Thai Brownies

The food was really delicious. I find noodles can be really grease, but these were not, they were full of flavour and the ingredients created a variety of textures which made the dish interesting. Buy the time we had dessert I was honestly stuffed but I could not resist taking a bite of each of the desserts. My favourite was the Chocolate Spring Rolls or as I would call them – the evil trolls.

PS: I met so many great people at the meet up, I cannot wait for the next one! Thank you Zomato and Simply Asia.
