A Cape Town man has left South Africa rolling with laughter after sharing his epic reaction video to a wealthy woman's fancy cooking process.

Facebook user @nativEcks, who lives in the Mother City and shares entertaining content on his Facebook page, posted his funny commentary on 20 August 2025 as he watched the woman prepare what he called an out-of-this-world gourmet meal.

The video shows the wealthy woman drilling into the bone on a massive piece of beef, adding rosemary and other expensive spices before vacuum-sealing it. She then prepares creamy potato mixtures, uses gelatin to create fancy potato moulds, and decorates her entire house with fresh flower bouquets from what the Cape Town man jokingly calls "the florist."

The digital creator, who describes himself as a husband and father of two, couldn't hide his shock at the woman's cooking methods.

"She's grilling, put rosemary and a parameter, suffocated and signed a plastic already for the first two steps, those utensils are expensive," he said as he watched her work.

His commentary got even funnier when she started decorating with flowers.

"All the flowers from the florist, you are now you're gonna make our eyes water because we can't even afford a small bunch," he joked, referring to how expensive fresh flowers are for regular people.

The woman's cooking process included using an outdoor cylindrical metal cooker that looked nothing like traditional braai methods. She prepared asparagus, baby carrots, and even fed some of the premium beef to her pet dog, which had the Cape Town man completely amazed.

"Baby girls, those ones are still young, but you still have to peel them. We are struggling with peeling the big ones," he said about the baby vegetables. His final comment summed up the entire experience: "Rich rich, you have money."
