Valentine's Day Sin

Yep, today is the first day I ate pizza in New Zealand. I tried Domino's super supreme ($10.90) and spinach and onion pizza ($9.90). We used the online website to order online. The order process was seamless and quite easy. The pizzas were delivered within 30 minutes - at the right temperature. The taste was impressively good for a $20 meal.

Would I recommend this again? Well yeah, it's a good cheap meal. Seems suitable for parties and get togethers. Easy to order. But I wouldn't recommend it to be devoured monthly. A treat 2x a year would be great. And don't forget to exercise heavily after :)

Okurukuru, New Plymounth, New Zealand


My parents, partner and I were touring NZ's north Island - we visited New Plymouth. We were driving for more than 8 hours already, visiting Stratford gardens for their rhododendron festival. We were so tired and dehydrated when we saw a sign along the highway - Winery.

We decided to stop by as it was near the coast and we wanted to have a view of the New Plymouth coast. The photo above is my fish meal, $30 plus 12.5% GST. Not too bad for good meal. This photo doesn't do justice to the satisfaction and pleasant experience I had with my family in this restaurant. For more details: http://www.okurukuru.co.nz/doku.php?id=restaurant

I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. The meal is sumptuous. The setting was magnificent. The view was breathtaking.

I will do another review of this restaurant because 1 review isn't enough.

Thai Restaurant St Kilda, Melbourne


This meal wasn't a special experience. I just had to stay the night at St. Kilda, Melbourne, because that's where we were supposed to pick our campervan from Jucy. It was a painfully hot day. Yes I had migraine. St Kilda is walking distance to a Melbourne beach... which was not very impressive. It was not tidy.

Anyway, I walked along the streets to look for a hearty dinner after a long, tiring day. I found this vietnamese restaurant that I don't even remember the name. But here's the google map of where it can be found:

I liked the flavor of the meal I had: seafood rice noodle. However, it wasn't spicy enough, a disappointment for a Thai food. The pricing is actually reasonable and there are a lot of customers for a tiny space. This place is nothing special though and only recommended if you are after a quick, asian meal. It's not fancy but the flavor is good enough...and best of all, the serving size is big enough to fill you up but not too big to give you a headache.

Best Muffin in Wanganui



The Orange Cafe is my favorite cafe in Wanganui. Their pricing is very reasonable and the serving size is hearty. However, other than the good meals, great drinks and reasonable price, I go to this cafe because it has free internet. It's perfect for visiting tourists who need to check their email on their laptops.I usually order short mocha ($3.5) and a vegetable muffin - spinach, onion and bluecheese (I think it's $4). The have a decent toilet, a nice bar inside the cafe, high ceilings, lovely interior design, comfortable seats and more friendly staff recently.

Wanganui, New Zealand is located 2 hours north of Wellington.

Element Cafe, Wanganui


Quaint, beautiful cafe located at Victoria, Ave, Wanganui, New Zealand

I love the cafes in Wanganui!

Cafe mocha is NZD$3.50 to NZD$4
Big muffin is NZD$4

Quite pricey but the environment is just priceless.

I am a regular customer of cafes! I visit NZ local cafes regularly to relax while working and enjoy the experience.

Update on Restaurants Reviews


I have stopped writing reviews on fast foods and local restaurants because I made a conscious choice to be healthy. I now cook most of my food and I spend at least $50 to $80 on buying groceries per week (1 person).

However, there are still times that I am tempted and I am lazy... above is Burger King, Wanganui, New Zealand. The best feature of this Burger King is L&P - a local drink that's very popular in NZ. The restaurant is of course neat and clean, considering NZ is a first world country. The food is 30% more expensive than the Philippines' Burger King.

However, since the food is junk and fatty... the answer to "would I eat there again?" is "as much as possible, NO".

The best value only happens in Summer - where BK serves its summer stunner. You get small fries, regular sized drinks, whopper jr and a sundae for NZD$5.50
