Valentines Buffet……………When I first saw this restaurant, I think they are only open for valentines or they are just preparing for valentines season. As I saw this in the mid of January.  But I am wrong, the restaurant name is valentines. They offer a european buffet and there are lots of entrees to choose from. It could be your favourite pasta, pizza’s, salad, grilled dishes and even roast beef and pork carvings. Plus a bonus of bunch of oysters. (that’s my wife favourite). The lunch buffet is much cheaper than the dinner buffet. Lunch buffet is only consist of half of the menu they offer during dinner buffet. Dine on your birthday and you’ll eat here free.

Restaurant Tour – China-Hongkong Cantonese Restaurant

One of our favourite hongkong – chinese cantonese restaurant here in Auckland. I always told my wife, of all the chinese restaurant we have been, this is the best. Aside from being the cheapest of them all, this place offer a huge serving with a very reasonable price on their menu. And best of all you can bring your own wine absolutely free. You just have to be 21 yearold and over. The interior is fair as most of cantonese restaurant doesn’t really rely on the interior facade. Do you know how much and cheap I spend when I celebrate my birthday here last two years ago? You wont believe it, for 14 people, dinner courses consisting of soup, noodles, vegetable dishes, soya chicken, pork barbeques, steamed fish and bowls of rice. Just a 100 bucks.

Restaurant Tour – Food City

Last week I posted on my restaurant tour – Nandos chicken, If you will recall, The reason why I am only posting 5 recipe each week is because of the peri peri chicken which has been part of our weekly cycle menu. Today, I will be posting the other reason – The Food City in Northcote shops. My family is very addictive to this meal. Its a chinese – hongkong style roast pork with bokchoy and soy noodles. Valued at only 8.50 nzd, believe me, you can not finish the meal as it is good for sharing. So we share this meal as I add 4 pcs of honey chicken barbecue to complete a very reasonable and huge dinner. The line up of their menu is just priced at 5.00 nzd to 11.50 nzd on which you can choose a wide variety of asian – hongkong cantonese style cooking. the restaurant might not suit for special occasion as the ambience is food court. But for those family who had a tight budget and want to enjoy the same cooking in higher class restaurant. this is the place to be……………

Restaurant Tour – Nando’s Chicken

Nandos restaurants…………The home of the peri peri chicken. This is the reason why I am just posting 5 recipe each week or I might say equivalalent to 5 different recipe as our dinner. Because every week, We are here in this restaurant (well that is a good blame for nandos). Then, I will share you next post the other “weekly routine restaurant”. If you are looking for a super spicy chicken, this is the place to be. their spices asre grade at “mild, medium, hot and extra hot peri peri sauce” I just go for the medium peri peri. It is really addictive as the wrote on their wall the “warning: peri peri sauce is very addictive”………Well, I will grade this restaurant as 5 star for me. Above photo are their grande meal which is the “free one” if you order 1 half serving of the same chicken dish. But you need to have a voucher which you can find in leading at the back of supermarket receipt. You might notice that most of the restaurant tour I posted here comes with a freebies. I hope I can be of little help to your budget by sharing this “coupons whereabouts”. It is only priced at 16.90 nzd – you get half chicken and salad and this quarter chicken free!!!
