Jamaica me crazy makes my wallet crazy and my stomack empty

Picture Jamaica Me Crazy in Woodstock, Southern Suburbs (CPT), Cape Town, Western Cape, South AfricaJamaica Me Crazy is a buzzing restaurant and bar situated at the top end of vibrant Roodebloem Road in Upper Woodstock, which is one of Cape Town’s oldest suburbs.

Picture Jamaica Me Crazy in Woodstock, Southern Suburbs (CPT), Cape Town, Western Cape, South AfricaI have been here many times before and always enjoyed its tropical cocktails, beautiful views from the balcony and some tropical type food items. Indeed, not the most elaborate dishes, but when you feel like something homey... Jamaica me crazy has it all!

Jamaica Me Crazy offers delicious, healthy home-style island cooking. All the chicken is free-range and popular dishes for the health conscious include the carrot and ginger soup, homemade walnut veggie burgers and gluten-free butternut ravioli. Caribbean specialties include Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Curried Goat, Jamaican Patties, Pineapple BBQ ribs and Chicken and Chorizo Jambalaya. Vegetarians are well catered for; try the Mo’bay (Jamaican slang for Montego Bay) mushrooms, Roast Veg Pasta salad or Trinidad Roti to name but few.

Saying all that, I need to say that I was greatly disappointed the other day when I really felt like ribs and decided to pop in to Jamaica me crazy for their fab ribs and chicken wings (my fav quick snacks).
My mouth was heavily watering until the food arrived : 2 PATHETICS ribs on one plate for a whole R56 - YES that is R28 per rib of which half is a bone!!

I wasn't expecting a full rack of course, but when you see that they offer a Caribbean platter for two at R109 containing ribs, wings, mussels, patties, calamari and more... I wonder how they got the starter portion of ribs (for 2 single ribs only) at R56.. Maybe some extra maths lessons might be helpful?

Well, I will for sure find a new spot for my ribs cravings.. I am even considering Spur at this stage!!
