M.Y.China – San Francisco, USA
One of our first group meals on our Adventures by Disney trip in San Francisco was at M.Y. China. When they told us this restaurant was in the Westfield Mall, I instantly thought foodcourt. I couldn’t have been more wrong! This is a fairly elegant restaurant on one of the upper floors of the Westfield … Continue reading

On the hunt for decent takeaways – Chopsticks – Fendalton, Christchurch

Our favourite fish’n’chip shop which used to do great vegetarian burgers closed post quake as the building was demolished. But for some reason we always seem to over look the Upper Riccarton shopping area, … Continue reading
Dunedin dining – week 6 – a bit of this, a bit of that
Monday night, I went back to Punjab Indian Restaurant. Last time I visited back in week 2 didn’t thrill me. It was ok, I gave it 3/5. I decided to grab takeaways on my way back to my unit as I was lugging my suitcase and a full backpack, so wanted to pick something along my … Continue reading
