While Cape-based comedian Riaad Moosa is often touring with his latest show, or being introduced to a global audience via a Netflix special, he’s also a family man who appreciates home cooking – and the food at WCafés
I must admit to loving WCafés because of a tuna sandwich.
Sadly, they’re removed it from the menu. They’ve updated it, but now it’s a Niçoise situation, and I am just not a Niçoise kind of guy. Man, that fish sandwich, it was just perfect – an open sandwich on ciabatta, with just a slight tang of mayo, and some coleslaw on the side … But that was then. Today I am having the chilli egg omelette, because I like a bit of spice.
Chuckles are my secret vice.
I love the yellow pack, the peanuts. Lots of other people must love them too, because they’re often sold out! I try to eat healthily but it’s hard if you work at night, because then you come home and you’re starving and you open the cupboard and there are the Chuckles, just waiting for you.
I have this one dish that I am very good at.
You slice some bread, and there’s this device called a toaster, and you pull down the levers and you wait and the bread shoots out … No, I help with the prep but my wife is the expert when it comes to cooking. My daughter, she’s only nine, but she’s a pro, baking cakes and flapjacks.
We have four kids, aged one, four, nine and 11 – three boys and a girl.
