Deluxe is deluxe

One of the most excit­ing and stim­u­lat­ing things about liv­ing in Wel­ling­ton is the fact the our cinemas are con­tinu­ally rein­vest­ing in their facil­it­ies and always try­ing to top each oth­er in qual­ity of fit out and cus­tom­er exper­i­ence. What have we done to deserve this!? This year the burgh­ers of Miramar got the Ming […]

Urban Harvest

Urb­an Har­vest is a Wel­ling­ton-based com­pany that deliv­ers loc­ally grown pro­duce, meat and oth­er culin­ary delights. For the fest­ive sea­son, they’ve branched out into Christ­mas hampers, and have opened a pop-up shop in their Mt Vic­tor­ia headquar­ters (29 Hania St) for those who like to get up close with their yuletide nomz. The Wel­ling­tonista were […]

Bright lights but tasty food at R&S Satay Noodle House

Over the past couple of months I have been review­ing Malay­si­an res­taur­ants all around Wel­ling­ton for Malay­sia Kit­chen (full dis­clos­ure – I got refun­ded some of the costs). It’s time to share the reviews! I have gone past R&S Satay Noodle House thou­sands of times in my life as it’s in a prime pos­i­tion but I’d nev­er […]

Wendy’s comes to town

There have been rumours for a while that a Wendy’s was com­ing to Wel­ling­ton, and finally I received a report from the Kapiti: a Wendy’s had just opened in Par­a­pa­raumu. Wendy’s Old Fash­ioned Ham­burgers – not to be con­fused with the Aus­trali­an ice cream par­lour chain Wendy’s Supa Sundaes – is an Amer­ic­an bur­ger chain […]

Everyone knows Wellington is a (Satay) Village

Over the past couple of months I have been review­ing Malay­si­an res­taur­ants all around Wel­ling­ton for Malay­sia Kit­chen (full dis­clos­ure – I got refun­ded some of the costs). It’s time to share the reviews! With so many Malay­si­an res­taur­ants to choose from in the cap­it­al, some­times the decision simply comes down to where­abouts you are at any […]

The home of the schnapps election

‘Zum­wohl’ does­n’t sound like some­thing that ori­gin­ates in Wel­ling­ton, but it turns out that Ulf Fuehr­er (appar­ently a real name!) and his Aotearoa Dis­til­ler­ies Ltd com­pany that makes the award-win­n­ing schnapps are based right here. Add that loc­a­tion to our love of pub­lic ser­vants express­ing opin­ions, our twit­ter addic­tion, our mutu­al admir­a­tion agree­ment with Pub­lic […]

A very long menu at Long Bar

Over the past couple of months I have been review­ing Malay­si­an res­taur­ants all around Wel­ling­ton for Malay­sia Kit­chen (full dis­clos­ure – I got refun­ded some of the costs). It’s time to share the reviews! We made a book­ing at Long Bar because it was a Fri­day night, but giv­en the res­taur­ant’s Brandon Street loc­a­tion in Lamb­ton Quarter […]

KK’s A‑OK

Over the past couple of months I have been review­ing Malay­si­an res­taur­ants all around Wel­ling­ton for Malay­sia Kit­chen (full dis­clos­ure – I got refun­ded some of the costs). It’s time to share the reviews! The Malay­sia Kit­chen Pro­gramme has done its best to keep me sober by con­tinu­ing to send me to unli­censed res­taur­ants, but finally I […]

Top times at Kopi Tiam

Over the past couple of months I have been review­ing Malay­si­an res­taur­ants all around Wel­ling­ton for Malay­sia Kit­chen (full dis­clos­ure – I got refun­ded some of the costs). It’s time to share the reviews! Today’s Malay­si­an quest takes us out of the CBD to New­town, but luck­ily park­ing is easy at New­town Mall and we can do […]

Fast, fresh, tasty and kind of awesome

On Thursday night, our old bowl­ing league arch nemisisisis bud­dies Click­Suite  launched a new iPhone and iPad app called Fast, Fresh and Tasty. We went along because we were prom­ised food and drink, and you know how good that is at get­ting us to leave our houses, but we were pleas­antly sur­prised by the app itself. Fast, […]
