Forget your knife and fork - it’s time to get your hands dirty! We’ve given a classic Fish Taco some local flavour: crispy fried hake loaded with a punchy Cape Malay pickle, fresh basil mojo, semi-dehydrated tomatoes and a sprinkle of fried onions.

It’s messy but delicious. Grab a cocktail and join us for a quick bite or two!

This June, Jamal Mhlanga, known to the team as MJ, will travel to Le Calabash in the Loire Valley for an intensive two month, fully sponsored, culinary internship with chefs Sidney and Alison Bond. MJ will spend his time immersed in French cuisine, market culture, fresh produce, classical technique and the rhythm of cooking in one of the world’s most celebrated food destinations.

The Test Kitchen Fledgelings has always been about recognising potential and then giving that potential a real chance to grow. MJ is eager, positive and willing to learn and an experience like this can shift the course of a young chef’s life. Sidney and Alison are not just offering training, they are opening a door to a much bigger world of food, culture and possibility.

When you’re looking for a winter cocktail, you can’t go wrong with brandy. Our Spicy Brandy Martini is crafted with the sublime 10-year-old, expertly cinnamon-infused in-house, before being combined with a red wine syrup and a sharp splash of lemon. Think mulled wine but in cocktail form, and much more sophisticated. It's the perfect prelude to our winter Street Food Fiesta.

These amagwinya and smoked snoek paté could not be more typically South African! 🇿🇦

No matter who dines with us at TTK Fledgelings, they almost always say it's one of their absolute favourite things on the menu. So of course, we had to include them on our Street Food Fiesta menu!

The amagwinya are served hot and crispy with a perfect sprinkling of salt, while the snoek paté is beautifully creamy and smooth. It is just the best combo.

We’re a restaurant.
We’re a training ground.
We’re a place where dreams come true.
We’re TTK Fledgelings.

If there ever was a dish that felt like a decadent embrace, this is it. We’re serving up pure indulgence with our Bone Marrow on Toast - one of the dishes on our Winter Street Food Fiesta menu.

* The Foundation: Buttery, toasted brioche that melts in your mouth
* The Core: Silky bone marrow - nature’s butter
* The Brightness: A vibrant Salsa Verde to cut through the richness.

It’s rustic, it’s decadent and it’s waiting for you at The Test Kitchen Fledgelings.
