Went to visit my sister and family in Auckland over the weekend and this is one of the places i visited. The Wintergardens has beautiful architecture and the flowers and plants are alluring to look at! Day was windy and overcast but inside it was magical! Taken from the NZ Gardens Trust Website: " The Winter Garden at the Auckland Domain is a treasure of great historic interest. It was designed in the early 1900s in the style of the famous English partnership of Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jeckyll and opened in 1913". The Tropical area is hot as you would expect. In addition, this place is very popular with wedding photographers as you tend to see them every time you visit. Once you have finished viewing the gardens you can make your way to the Auckland War Memorial Museum. Great way to entertain tourists and the kids on the weekend.

I believe this place has been open just over a month. It is one of those novelty restaurants and we wanted to try the food ourselves. We arrived about 6pm so not many people seated yet. Staff are friendly and attentive. So far so good! Lighting is pretty bright here but then again it was a very gloomy day out. I ordered the banana milkshake and the Jack Daniel ribs. Milkshake was sweet and tasty reminded me of when I was a kid at restaurants. Ribs were a big serving with chips and salad and very saucy just how I like it! And I don't eat a lot of ribs so that's saying something. My sister enjoyed her meal too which was the Jackies Eye fillet I think with mash and veggies. It's my first visit and the place is still new so we shall see how far it goes! I gave it 2 1/2 to 3 stars because I did enjoy my ribs but for 2 meals and a kids meal came to $93! Pretty exy I think! I went on my first visit last week and again today and this post is from where i went last week > Located on Broughton St of the main strip in Artarmon. There were only a few customers in there so I snagged a table beside the glass overlooking the street. I was advised the lunch special of Cooked tuna rolls of the Chicken Katsu for $10 so opted for the Katsu. Was given a glass of water and after a 2 minute wait go miso soup. hmm love this. After bout 5 minutes my Katsu arrived. Very quick and my goodness what a huge serving! In my head all i could think was this place is already in my good books. Check out the pictures for the Chicken Katsu, Grilled Salmon Roll and Chicken Karaage Will undoubtedly be a regular here since they change their lunch specials every week. Such a positive meal experience to take away your weekend blues! :) Address can be found here: weebly Heard about this place on Instagram but haven't had a chance to visit until now! Hooray! First we went to the wrong end of Dixon St, stupid iPhone map! Finally reached it after refreshing the maps app. Place feels like your in a lab with the staff in lab coats and all the smoke from the liquid nitrogen coming out of the food processors. Line wasn't too long, we ordered the Ferraro Revival and Strawberry, Rosewater Meringue Pie. $8 each Ah YUM! I loved the rosewater flavored meringue on top my refreshing strawberry ice cream. The Ferraro revival comes with a chocolate syringe and a wafer! Brilliant! Love this place! Address is: 43/1 Dixon St, Sydney When you in the town hall area around 6 ish and feel a bit peckish for dinner. Do not hesitate to walk to Chefs Gallery on Bathurst St just down from the KFC. Generally if you have the foresight you can book ahead online but alas you can always leave you name with the hostess on the door and wait probably around 5-10 min sometimes its longer and sometimes your're in luck! As soon as we arrived there were at least 12 people waiting outside so we asked for a table for 2 and the hostess asked if we didnt mind bench seats....um of course not! Zing! Instant table and we faced the kitchen so we could see the guy making fresh noodles! Awesome We ordered the Roti Peking Duck, BBQ Fried Noodles and chilli chicken (which we secretly thing should be called KUNG POW Chicken - Its not hot or spicy its just an awesome name!) Everything as usual was mouth-watering! Teamed up with some iced lemon tea! Delish! Waiters are friendly and efficient, Food is quite fast too! Address details can be found here: weebly Dinner catch up with my nephew who is taller than me...go figure!
As always when i feel like vegetables and stir-fry's we always seem to end up here. The food is always tasty and quick, waiters friendly and efficient! And great prices too. We started with some Satay Chicken Skewers (hmmm peanut sauce :D) and Curry Puffs. Then for mains we decided to share between 3 adults and 1 child. So got the Chicken green curry, Beef Pad Thai and Vegetables & Tofu Cashew nut stir fry. As usual they were all delightful! A successful catchup with family and food always goes hand in hand.
