With Charly from Foodcraft we are going on a tour through Auckland today. We are picked up at 9.3o a.m. and drive out of the city. In the end there are seven different stations with 16 dishes. We get along very well with Charly, no wonder we all love good food, time flies and we are well fed and also a bit tired back at the hotel.
Hare & Turtle Café – in Mt Albert
Smoked White Fish Sandwich with Crème Fraiche, Crispy Shallots, Pickle & Lemon
Eggplant Parma Sandwich with Provolone, Mayo, Basil & Homemade Tomato Sauce
A great start with the best sandwiches we got in New Zealand. The flat white coffee is touted here as a New Zealand invention. It’s a bowl of warm milk… we’ve been around forever!
Blue Rose Café – in Sandringham
Palusami Pie
The filling is made according to Polynesian recipe with corned beef cooked in coconut.
Daily Bred Main Shop
We bought a sourdough bread and it was once again a decent bread for a long time.
Eden Noodles – in Balmoral
Pork & Chive Dumplings in Spicy Sauce
Sichuan Cucumber Salad
It was original and just as great as in Shanghai so authentic, luckily there is also a branch near the hotel.
Azabu – in Ponsonby
Tuna Sashimi Tostada with Corn, Wasabi, Cucumber, Red Onion, Jalapeno
Seared Beef Tostada with Truffle Sesame & Pickled Daikon
Volcano Roll with Tiger Prawn Tempura & Huancaina Mayo
Hakusai Cabbage with Sesame Mustard Dressing & Parmesan
Aigo – in Ponsonby
Yangnyeom Chicken
Cacio e Pepe Tteokbokki with Torched Cheese and Truffle
Agria Potato, Mushroom Bulgogi, Truffle Cream Fraiche
Mazesoba with Spicy Jeyuk Mince, Peanut, Chives, Nori, Confit Egg
The attempt at the Fusion Kitchen has been very successful, which is the trend here that is often taken up by chefs from all over the world.
Duck Island Ice Cream – in Ponsonby
Wonderful ice cream at the end
We really enjoyed the day with Charly, it was a great experience. Thank you very much. https://www.foodcraft.co.nz/
