Someone left a message on my blog asking me why review Asian Food in New Zealand when you can review Kiwi food in New Zealand?
Good Question!....reasons are:-
1. There are not many varieties of KIWI food around. In fact, there is no such thing as authentic Kiwi food
2. Even the native Maori here do not own restaurants that sells the traditional "Hangi" food item.
3. Western food (Steak, Pies, Spaghetti, Pasta, etc) are sooo freaking expensive here....A plate of Spaghetti will cost you NZD$20++ but a set meal which also includes drinks will only cost you NZD$10-15 at an Asian cafe/restaurant. Asian food establishments also ALWAYS have complimentary drinks!
4.By the way, food reviews are all about variety...Variety and MORE VARIETY :-D
You'll be surprised to see that More Asians spend money eating out than Caucasians.....Caucasians spend more money on liquor though :-P

 |
| Mee Rebus...more on the sweet side...and don't have the nutty roughness in the sauce like how I like it... |
 |
| Shanghai Noodles..too oily for my liking... |
 |
| Hainanese Chicken Rice...didn't try this, but my two little cousin gobbled this down and they liked it...so I guess it was good... |

| I've been craving donuts like FOREVER!!! and I finally get some eventhough I terribly miss Big Apple donuts in Malaysia :-( |
 |
| Taste exactly like what you can find in Malaysia... |
 |
| Considering donuts are a form of Western Culture food, you wouldn't find much variety here in New Zealand... In fact, the people here are quite healthy and you'll hardly see people gorging themselves with sweet pastries or cakes... |
