Unless I am mistaken, I went to this mall about 8 or 9 years ago. It was quite novel!

I loved reading the comments as a beloved ex Durbanite. But please leave politics and religion out of your comments. Walk in my shoes, then comment.

Thanks Pieter - i knew it had a good name aswell but couldnt remember it.
It was one of the few vegetarian ’snacks’ i could find in my time in SA and like i said was perfect for a man of simple tastes with a tight budget like myself.

Bunny chow is a South African fast food consisting of a loaf of bread, with the inside scooped out, and filled with curry. t was created in Durban, during the 1940s, where the largest population of Indians in South Africa live. Although it is clear that the food began under apartheid, the precise origins of the food are disputed. One story, which also provides an etymology for bunny chow, or bunnies as they are also known, has it that a restaurant run by people known as Bunias (an Indian religious group) first created the scooped-out bread and curry dish, in Grey Street, Durban, which is how Bunny chow got its name. The food was a means to serve take-aways to excluded people. They cut out the center portion of the bread and filled it with curry and capped the filling with the portion (the Virgin) that was cut out

I think its a plane as well, possibly a learjet or something. There is a plane type tail and it those wings are actually the propellor, then its a good coincidence that they are in the right place.
