Lemotion went to see Rent at the Artscape

Happy Monday everyone!


Lemotion had the privilege to go and see the stage production of the hit Broadway musical Rent currently on stage at the Artscape Theatre in Cape Town. All I can say is wow!!! The show was absolutely amazing!!!

For those of you who have not seen the show I will give you a brief rundown of the plot without giving too much away.


Benny is Mark & Roger's former roommate. With the help of his wealthy new father-in-law, Benny has bought the building in which mark and Roger live, and the lot next door that is inhabited by a group of homeless people. Benny wants to build a high-tech cyber-arts studio on the property. Towards this end, he plans to clear the homeless from the lot and evict all the tenants from the building, including Mark and Roger.

Marks former lover, Maureen, schedules a performance protest of Benny's scheme for midnight on Christmas Eve. Benny offers a deal to Mark and Roger: If they convince Maureen to stop her protest, they can stay in the building rent-free.

At the end of Act 1, Maureen's performance goes on. A riot erupts in the lot, which Mark videotapes. Then Benny pad-locks the building, locking all the tenants.

Act 2 begins on New Year's Eve as Mark Roger and friends attempt to break into the building. The rest of the act follows the events of the year....

Guys this show is really amazing and a must see.

Lemotion hits Cape Town International Airport

It is with great pleasure that we announce that lemotion is now available at Cape Town International Airport.

Now, when you rush off to the airport forgetting all your gifts on you unmade bed you can buy Lemotion Lemon & Lemotion Mandarin at Cape Farm Stall & Wine Emporium at domestic departures.

They are opening a similar store at the duty free shopping centre at International Departures of Cape town International Airport soon. Hopefully Lemotion will be sold there as well soon, which means Lemotion will be going global. Watch this space we will keep you posted.

Lemotion at Emily's in V & A Waterfront Cape Town

You will be glad to know that you can now get Lemotion at the world renowned Emily's restaurant in the Clock Tower of the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town.

Emily's first opened its doors as an informal little bistro, which over time became an integral part of the restaurant scene at the Cape. It is almost obligatory for any culinary enthusiast or food lover to meet both Peter Veldsman and Johan Odendaal and dine at Emily’s. Peter, author, knowledgeable and superb food writer, restaurateur and wine lover is known throughout the length and breadth of South Africa. While, Johan's fascinating style of cooking using a variety of eclectic, often exotic ingredients, is always a talking point and creates a frisson of excitement.

Since relocating to the Clock Tower, Emily's with a spacious, cream and soft gold interior, overlooking the harbour and out to sea has evolved into one of South Africa's finest and most individual restaurants with a positive and definite food philosophy centred around an Afro-Euro-culture. Each plate, a canvas drawing on flavours from throughout the African continent.
Emily's has gathered a plethora of awards prominent among many; Diners Club International winner of Platinum and the rare Diamond awards.

Johan Odendaal - Executive Chef

My philosophy of cooking is simple: let the ingredients speak for themselves. I am set on flavour and do not follow trends by other chefs, nor do I copy them.I am in love with the flavours of Africa and proud to be a South African "boere-boy".Often I combine hot and cold on the same plate and frequently contrast flavours or do a counterpoint of similar flavours in order to create a complex canvas.My only criterion is the freshness of vegetables,salads, fish and sea food and, by contrast, meat which is well matured. I have sourced suppliers of repute and both Peter and I are prepared to pay extra for quality. We fly ingredients in from St. Helena, Namibia,Zimbabwe and the African East Coast.I do not pre-cook. I do not fast-cook in a microwave oven. I do not re-heat frozen foods. I do not buy in.Everything on the menu is prepared in my kitchen and it requires time.The restaurant caters for vegans,demi-, lacto-, ovo- and lacto-ovo vegetarians.Here at Emily's the food is not waiting to be served, instead, dear guest,you must be prepared to wait for the food.

I WISH YOU "SMAAKLIKE ETE"
