Gion Japanese Restaurant, Parnell
At long last, the hunt for zaru soba in NZ ends. :) I’ve never been a fan of Parnell Rd’s dining establishments – with only a few notable exceptions, I found most of them overpricedContinue reading

Chatime, Queen St
I’ve always been a huge Chatime fan, ever since its appearance on Malaysian shores several years ago. If I absolutely had to choose a favourite bubble tea brand, this would be it – with SouthContinue reading
