A busy new cafe popping up on the street of Parnell, where it seems to be the trend of new openings, bringing back a reason to come to Parnell and not to just stuff our face with chocolate at The Chocolate Boutique.

Auckland: Tok Tok

Who can keep up with another Asian fusion eatery in the Auckland food scene! I have been here twice both times for lunch. Its a bit of a catch 22, it has a great outdoor seating which is perfect for summer, but eating dishes which are majorly curries it can be a bit of a…

Event: Beef’n it up at National Burger Day London

Burger Bonanza! London is all about their burgers, and with that came National Burger Day. I have been introduced to an array of restaurants that just up the ante. I thought the burger was the American favourite, but the English can’t get enough of them. Nida from Food Diaries London and I went to the…
