Alienara Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Come on now guys, I'm sure that there's more people who are interested in food as well.. and I'm talking about really good food, the type that fills you up and gives u a warm fuzzy feeling after you've eaten it. I've just started a new blog about food called NZFood blog to blog about the places that I've eaten which I think is worthy to be mentioned. It's only based in Auckland right now though as that's where I live, but if any of you Aucklanders know of good food places, do tell me so I can go try it out myself too. For the rest of you who just want to have a good read and ease the whole process of thinking of a place for dinner or lunch, the address is www.NZFood.blogdrive.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos & Siran Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I know what you mean Acara, I spent 6 weeks in the states a few years back and when I got back I was STARVING for real food, my sis is a chef and she cooked me a good ole fashioned kiwi roast, what a relief it was....

It's only been recently that NZ's started getting real food, but still the only burritos you can get are bland pub ones or "Old el paso" mexican kits. Maybe 1-2 types of canned chilli if you're lucky. And don't get me started on the bland, greasy "Kiwi roast" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 roast greasy? Not if its done right (cooked a roast pork last night and a roast chicken in the over now) Alienara, your right about those meat pies and note that I called them meat pies, not as most are and simply pies There use to be a great Chinese Resturant there called The Bamboo Grove that had great tucker and the best deep fried ice cream I have ever had. Although not in Auckland, my favorite 2 resturants were the small resturant at Horuru Falls(Bay of Islands) thats in the Palorama Motels and also the Pepper tree at Coromandel. At the confrence this year we also went to a Tai resturant in Whitianga. Ive forgotten the name but will be back there as well For a lunch bar type of place, again streets out in front of all else is the Bakery at Coromandel. A bit dearer but real nice tucker. Alanmin may be able to back me up on a couple of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
