Woman shows off meals served at fancy restaurant
A woman’s fine dining experience gave Mzansi social media users the chuckles while leaving several others feeling hungry on her behalf.
Online user @queen_dracula posted photos of four meals she had at a higher-end restaurant recently.
The small portions looked peculiar and very minimalistic as one plate featured onion rings seasoned with herbs and a sauce, whereas another dish comprised small wild mushrooms, greens, and a sauce.
As fancy as the experience many have been, many of the woman’s online friends were not quite impressed. Many questioned whether she actually enjoyed the food and whether it was worth the hefty bill.
“But where's the food?” – one confused person asked. Lol, awkward!

Mzansi people go in hard at man who shows off boujee bone he ordered for lunch
Bone marrow is considered a luxury item in many cultures; however, in South Africa, it is just a side dish, and sometimes even the bones are given to dogs for treats. So, when a guy showed off his lunch plate sporting a giant marrow bone, people went in with cyber guns blazing.
Despite the bone needed to make a bone marrow dish costing next to nothing, boujee restaurants are selling the dish for a pretty penny, and people are buying it like it is caviar or something.
Twitter user @Ndi_Muvenda_ was hella impressed with the plate of food he had at a recent business meeting, so he shared a snap on social media. The picture revealed that our guy chose to order the bone marrow… and we are sure it was not cheap.
While there looked to be some sort of sorry piece of meat hidden under the giant marrow bone, people still could not understand why people choose to order this.

“He is making me eat nama ya hlogo... This is the 1st time ever keja and it's sooo yummy,” she wrote.
