Ah Indian food, I have missed you! This afternoon we took the doglets to visit some friends, so got takeaways from Little India in Merivale on the way home. I used my iPhone to check their online menu and phoned the … Continue reading On the hunt for decent takeaways – Little India – Merivale

Many years ago we lived in the suburb of Bryndwr and regularly visited Chopsticks a Chinese restaurant specialising in Chinese and Malaysian style food. It was always very popular and arrived just as more traditional ethnic foods were starting to … Continue reading On the hunt for decent takeaways – Chopsticks – Fendalton, Christchurch

On of my favourite things to do when I’m travelling overseas is to take a trip to the supermarket and hunt down some treats to consume during my day, or even to bring home with me. When we did our … Continue reading Top 10 sweet treats to try in New Zealand
We had important things to discuss, like holidays for 2016, so decided to get takeaways and have a chat over the meal. It was decided that we should get Indian and this time we picked Green Leaf in Bishopdale. … Continue reading On the hunt for decent takeaways – Green Leaf – Bishopdale

Upper Hutt, Wellington – jewel of the north, or maybe not. But what it lacks in entertainment and culture, it makes up for in Indian restaurants. There were about half a dozen that I saw, some doing Chinese or Malay … Continue reading And this week’s dining in Upper Hutt, Wellington
I’ve been a bit slack posting this review, not because it was bad – quite the opposite – it was so good that I don’t want others to find out about it… We were running round doing some errands last weekend … Continue reading On the hunt for decent takeaways – Mosaic by Simo – Addington

Ever optimistic after our fairly average curry last week, we decided to try the slightly dodgy looking Spice’n’Life in Upper Riccarton (Church Corner). I didn’t personally go, but by all accounts the decor isn’t all that, but on the bright side, the clientele is Indian – a good sign. And this is a good example of not judging by appearances.

Both were medium spicy … Continue reading On the hunt for decent takeaways – Spice’n’life – Upper Riccarton
