But December is always a damned awkward month, and collectively this year we’re short of sort of available time required in abundance to get the […]
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.

My kingdom for some booze with my satay!

Review: Sex drive
Sex drive is a new dramatic comedy from writers Lorae Parry and Pinky Agnew. It focuses on three women – Sylvie (Geraldine Brophy), Chrissy (Emman Kinane), and Dawn (Lyndee-Jane Rutherford) – and their quest to become independent women.
