Patagonia Chocolates Queenstown


What's going for this cafe?
1. It is unique. It has a unique taste - it has a specialty. It's not just another cafe out there.
2. It is in front of the remarkable view Lake Wakatipu and the mountains. It is centrally located...Superb location is an understatement.
3. It has FREE wifi. It has Fast Wifi! Well, as long as not a lot of people are using it...
4. It has the best ice cream - another unique strength.
5. It has outdoor areas - perfect to be under the sun in any season...

This is an icon in Queenstown. They also have a shop in Arrowtown. Kudos to the owners. :)

Thank you for this superb experience in Queenstown. I will definitely go back - regularly :-)

Banana Pizza Anyone?

Photo of the Pizza when it's on sale 2 for 1 - Every Wednesday (til further notice) about $21 each

Hamill's Restaurant and Bar in Queenstown
Located at Remarkables Shopping Center

This is absolutely one of the BEST pizzas I have had in my life!
This one has banana, chicken and blue cheese topping apart from the regular cheese and tomato.

I usually can't eat 1 whole pizza but I finished one whole pizza in one sitting!

What is great about this deal is that it was offered as a promotion - buy 1 get 1 free!
Gourmet pizza frenzy!
The other pizza I got was the seafood pizza with fresh shrimps and scallops.

Best dining experience - absolutely affordable and I CANNOT wait to go back.
The question is - if it goes back to it's $22 price ... would I order a lot again??? Potentially! But not as often :-)

*** Update Dec 30th, 2011
Here are photos of the pizza when it's not on sale at $21.95 each.
Lots more toppings, thicker crust ...
Banana Chicken Pizza with cashew, broccoli, mushrooms

Seafood pizza $21.95 each
I didn't finish 1 round for myself... Andrew ate 2 slices of my seafood pizza! :D I still feel full after 4 hours. I think it's the thicker crust this time...

Cherry Season in New Zealand


Cherry season happens only in Summer in New Zealand! Cherry is very sumptuous fruit and good for everyone especially those with high blood sugar! Cherries also have a lot of anti oxidants. It contains loads of nutrients for the body! I highly recommend eating cherries! I am going to buy as much as I can this summer :-) especially when I go to NZ's cherry capital - Cromwell, Otago near Queenstown, NZ.

I Love Rosie Slice




I think this piece of cake is $4. It's the only thing I order over and over again for Orange Cafe, in Whanganui ... It's a true taste sensation. I must probably just miss the coconut infused meals in the Philippines but this lovely cake is great with a nicely brewed coffee.

Yes I continue my love for cafes. If it's too sweet, I just make sure I drink a litre of water for the next 2 hours.

I found this blog that has a recipe for Rosie Slice.

If you ever come by Wanganui, I recommend staying at Aotea Motor Lodge, best accommodation in Whanganui, and stop by Orange cafe for this wonderful Rosie slice.
