Reader Rob Caweg noticed a contribution from Bob Gooderson which included a menu from the Mandarin Room at the Edward Hotel. That menu dates from 1981 and Rob recalled that his father, a Dutch sea captain had dinner at the Mandarin Room about 10 years earlier and kept the menu from that occasion. At that stage the complete dinner cost a princely R3 per person which had gone up to R4 by 1981.
Rob kindly photographed the menu and sent it along.
