By Rosemarie John They had me at pork belly… moist, juicy perfectly cut squares sat on my plate with a celeriac remoulade in the middle and a dark muscavado lime dressing drizzle circulating it all. I was at Alter Ego, a chic new restaurant on the corner of Bunda and Genge streets.

Looks like it’s a favorite coffee spot for the coppers too, but we didn’t try any black java that night. Instead, we had the below spread… Our top two dishes were from the dessert range.
