Savor South African delights through Braai Brothers Philippines

Chris Bezuidenhout used to only prepare South African goodies for his family and friends. But around 2016, some friends told him they’d be willing to buy what he prepared; and so Braai Brothers Philippines came into being, with a startup capital of only P10,000.

“Braai Brothers Philippines is by no means unique,” Chris said. “There are others doing what we do.”

However – and this is worth stressing – “I like to believe that we do everything to the best of our ability and ethically. If we make a mistake, we own it and always try rectify it to the betterment of the customer.”

Due to this approach, “our customers come back to us time after time due to our service offering and authenticity,” Chris said.

Braai Brothers Philippines’ product range is “solid”, Chris said, “and we enjoy a pretty even spread of business.” This is because “I find that customers find heir favorites and stick to it overall and try the other products too.”

The overall bestseller is biltong (similar to jerky), costing P850 per 500g pack. It comes in three flavors (plain, spicy and garlic).

Other offerings include: drywors (basically dried sausage, available in plain or spicy varieties), P1,400 per kg; six flavor varieties of boerewors (a type of sausage that contains 90% meat, and 10% spices/other ingredients), P900 per kg; plain or pepper salami, P1,500 per kg; milktart (a South African dessert consisting of a sweet pastry crust containing a custard filling made from milk, flour, sugar and eggs), P450; and peri peri sauce, P250 per 250ml bottle.

Curious to try delicacies from South Africa? Braai Brothers Philippines should be in your list.
