Former All Blacks player Lima Sopoaga gets a taste of Cape Town with a masala steak gatsby
Lima Sopoaga swaps rugby for Cape Town flavour as he tackles his first masala steak gatsby at Athlone’s Golden Dish.
Former All Blacks rugby player Lima Sopoaga visited Cape Town during the second Test match against the Springboks at DHL Stadium. While the rugby match was the primary purpose of his trip, Sopoaga also sought out a unique local experience by visiting Golden Dish in Athlone to try a masala steak gatsby. This popular dish is one of the city's most iconic sandwiches and features a generous helping of steak, chips, salad, and spices all wrapped in a large roll.
The size of the sandwich proved to be a bit of a shock to Sopoaga, who shared a video of his attempt to eat it on Instagram, describing it as a memorable culinary adventure that showcased a different side of Cape Town. Sopoaga embraced the local atmosphere by dining near the parking area rather than at a traditional restaurant, and he even included the city's popular music in his post, featuring YoungstaCPT's Wes-Kaap.
As the All Blacks prepare for the third Test against the Springboks, Sopoaga's visit serves as a reminder of the diverse experiences that can be found in the city beyond the world of rugby.
