New Zealand: Asian Food Galore!!! (Tandoori Plaza, Chinese Place which I forgot, Malay Restaurant & Silk Thai Food Reviews)

I find it funny how I get to taste more authentic Asian food in New Zealand than in Malaysia.....not really surprising though considering Malaysia has a longer history compares to New Zealand and ALL CULTURES in Malaysia has actually blended well making the dishes fusion and authentically M'sian....something that we should learn to appreciate:-)

TANDOORI PLAZA
My uncle was craving for Beriyani one evening...so me being the obedient niece, googled for Beriyani on the net and the GPS took us to this location :-)

Pineapple juice...cheap cheap only 1 (NZD) Dollah!
Some of the prices




Chicken Tikka Beriyani with Yogurt Sauce



Cheese naan with yogurt dipping... The BEST Naan that I have tasted so far over here though It is still no match with the Williams, Steven's Corner & Murni back home...
