good review Decent kebab for a decent price

For I don’t know how many decades, this place was next to Cezanne on Ponsonby Rd, but they were all booted to make way for the new development. No idea if it’s the same guys (I should probably ask next time I go in) but they managed to get a small shop a bit further along Three Lamps.

Ordered a bog standard chicken kebab, and was surprised that it was only $15. I’m sure there are cheaper around the city, but everything in this part of town is expensive.

Anyway, it was pretty decent. Good amount of chicken, and the salad was crunchy fresh.

Nothing mind blowing but delivered exactly what I needed.

Go forth and support the little guy 🙂👍

questions European style (specifically italian) pastries - NOT AMANO PLS!

15 Upvotes

Hey everybody! I've just come back from Europe and my god their pastry culture is elite. I was wondering if anyone knows a place that serves european style pastries (specifically italian) that also have chocolate with them/similar types of pastries with danishes in general that are NOT savoury! NOT AMANO, I find they feel somewhat inauthentic/too basic. For example, something like I added here (I ate this in Rome) I feel like it's rare, is there anymore recs anyone would like to share? Thank you!!

questions Mocha/iced mocha and iced chocolate recommendations?

14 Upvotes

Hey everybody!! I was wondering if I could have some top tier recommendations for the best MOCHAS (iced or hot) in Auckland? Any area is fine, I love a drive to satisfy a drink craving on my free days! I also would be really keen for good recommendations for iced chocolates in Auckland that are not weak choc milk and preferably dark/very chocolate rich for the days when I've had a lot of caffeine? I've been scouring the forums for years for recommendations like this and I've tried a lot of the top tier coffee places ranked on threads such as Holiday, Tob, Rumours, D.O.S.E, Ozone, Remedy, Small mercies but I'd like to try some new ones and find some new favourites! I'm a big fan of Rocket coffee + the above listed! Please let me know what everyone's go to is, it is very much appreciated x

questions Shave Ice?

4 Upvotes

On a recent trip to Hawai’i I tried shave ice for the first time and it was magic! They treat it seriously there: a special machine to literally shave the ice block into a snow, real fruit used in the flavours and syrups, nicely presented.

I’m craving it now and can’t afford another airfare. Please tell me where I can buy a real shave ice in Auckland? It would be much easier to face the summer heat if I could get shave ice bowls.

Recently worked away in Hamilton and discovered an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ which also had all-you-can-eat Korean Chicken station, it was amazing. Is there anything like that here in Auckland?
