I drive past Japanese Sashimi Bar Ajimi on my way to home most days and with the amount of Kanji on the shop front it was easy to mistake it as Chinese who run a Japanese restaurant but how wrong was I! Ajimi happened to be another restaurant that was founded from Night Market. There…
War on Takeaway
Food delivery services have been Godsend to lazy/busy people who just need food delivered to them at the door. If you have the money to spend, you no longer need to get out of the house to have food delivered to your doorsteps. Of course the quality of the food is only as good as…
Layered Drinks
Have you tried the latest layered drinks? The only ones I have tried were from Kai Eatery and Illuminatea, which are the latest drinks that has been going around town, in night market or at the CBD.

Eggloo
Thank you for bringing modern style Hong Kong style eggloo to New Zealand, the mixture of the famous egg puff/waffle with ice cream. This is a slightly different ones to the traditional one, or from that old man who works from Howick – who only sells one flavour of egg puff. Eggloo managed to find themselves…
