Back in June, Mum and I went gallivanting across the Tasman Sea in the picturesque home of the Lord of the Rings. Scenery aside, what could be more important than food right?
Here's the highlight of our culinary discoveries:
Home made organic beef sausage with mashed potatoes and a pastry (which i can't remember the name of) - HuHu cafe in Waitomo
Organic beef burger with fresh rocket salad, potato wedges and mayonnaise. Yum...
Perhaps it was our starving bellies, for we hadn't had anything to eat for 7 hours prior, but the food was delicious! Not to mention very reasonably priced. Who would've thought that such a gem would exist in the middle of nowhere?
Sirloin steak with pigtail fries and salad at Pig n Whistle in Rotorua. Did i mention the pigtail fries?
Lamb stew with beetroot and seasonal vegetables. Hearty pub fare.
Towards the end of our holiday, we made a trip out to Waiheke island from our base in Auckland. On that chilly winter morning, we decided to trek along the most popular hiking trails on the island. The sun did nothing to dispel the bite of the buffeting wind as we made our way, eagerly anticipating the stopover at the award winning Mudbrick Vineyard & Restaurant. Suffice to say, we were not disappointed.
The most tender, dissolve-in-your-mouth steak ever. Guess NZ has alot of cows for them to perfect their trade on...
The prettiest mushrooms ever served. Like eating straight from the vege patch, flower and all.
So we only had 3 decent meals while we were there?! We were starving ourselves to look better in our photos ;P
