Hi guys!! Hope you enjoy seeing our hometown through our eyes! Remember to follow us in real time over on Instagram @chasingaplate We just arrived in Sicily 😍 Big love to you all! Thomas & Sheena
I admire how you added the phrase 'through our eyes' to your sentence. I felt it added a humble touch to your message and will prevent people from criticising the way you showcase NZ. Thank you for this incredible video. You can rarely go wrong with corned beef 😄
One of the things I really love about you both is your positivity and appreciation for kai. Its also body positivity in a way. So many people place judgement on 'good' or 'bad'' foods and associate virtue or guilt with them. Diet culture is everywhere.. As a guy recovering from anorexia, I really appreciate people who just respect and appreciate their kai, without all that other faff. Thanks so much. You have impact in probably more ways than you realise!
Kia ora Micah, thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to write. Your words really humbled us. It’s absolutely what we’re about- kai as a way to connect with others and something that should be enjoyed and as you say appreciated. Food is love 😍 Hope you like what we have coming up on the channel. Happy weekend mate. Cheers, Sheena
It was awesome getting to eat it prepared the traditional way! Oh gosh, I’m the same dan dan noodles and dumplings- that’s comfort food right there! Thanks for watching and commenting 5cats 2kids! Hope you enjoyed seeing a bit of our home city 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Spectacular photography! I’m a bit of a timid eater, but you presented those dishes so enticingly , I would be tempted to try!! Continued safe travels More, please!
Thanks so much for your lovely words Terese Kinast 😍 you should totally give these dishes a go sometime- they are simply mouthwatering. Super vibrant and flavoursome. Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoy what we have coming up on the channel! Cheers, Sheena

What an excellent showcase of the different cultures that make up Aukland. A bit of everything, definitely whets the appetite for travellers to NZ and locals alike. How easy is it to overlook the sensations in our own backyards. The Chaat really looked exactly as it does in India, looked just like your transported back to Mumbai..... but the price!! That was more onpoint with buying a Coffee at the base of the Eiffel Tower🤔😪 Made Aloo Puri the other night.... and put the Sev on the dish correctly thanks to "learning to eat with T & S". Loved this 4 part special back home.👍
🤣🤣🤣 omg I know, every time we return home we balk at the prices. It definitely takes a lot of getting used to! The flavours in the chaat were so on point though. Your aloo puri sounds delectable! 🤤🤤🤤

Love all those dishes! Definitely putting Auckland New Zealand on our travel itinerary! We certainly will meet up with you guys so perhaps you can take us to some of these delicious places! Yum!!
Hi Turn It Up World, it sure is a special part of the world. We travel full time so it’s been a long time since we were home- it was awesome getting to film after such a long time away. If you ever get there, check out some of these places- the food is brilliant! Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Hey Thomas and Sheena, please visit the oyster factory in Opua, great spot best oysters I've tasted fresh and they also do fried oysters and chips, best I've ever had! you must try to know haha.
Hi mate! Omg yes, we’ve had oysters and fish and chips there! It’s such a cool spot eh?! Loved sitting out looking at the water. We were there a couple of years ago when we did our road trip around NZ 😄 Thanks for watching this one, hope you enjoy what we have coming up on the channel! Cheers, Sheena
Omg it’s so good 🤤 we used to live literally 1 minute’s walk from it and ate there all the time! Thanks for watching and commenting CKI- hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
Hi. Thanks for watching this one. That pie was so good! All the details of where we are are in the UA-cam description. Let us know if you need any more info. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Wow, living among 200+ ethnicity must be amazing. Their food & cultures must be one of the many things to inspire you guys to become food vloggers. Love the Chaat ! Going for it today. Also can't wait for you guys to visit India again. See you guys soon hopefully.
Absolutely Rahul Marksole, the diversity is amazing! Oh gosh the chaat took us right back to India- we dream about the food all the time 😍 can’t wait to return soon. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Hope you’ve enjoyed the NZ series. Cheers, Sheena
It is amazing to know so many cultures. However, it is often difficult for people from non-native cultures to replicate some of their important dishes because the ingredients just aren't available in the country, so they either make substitutes when they can or they can't make the dish altogether. Also, some of the same produce can differ from the produce from the origin, for eg the mustard greens grown in Australia tend to be much less bitter than the ones in Asia and some fruits tend to be less intense than the ones from Asia.
Such awesome diversity in the food scene! I want those noodles desperately! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate. Hope you enjoyed it. Cheers, Sheena
Chur mate 😍 how exciting that you’re heading to our wee corner of the world soon! Where will you visit?! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one- so envious of all the fish and chips and mince and cheese pies you will no doubt devour 😍 Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍😍 you’re in for a treat! We’re currently filming a massive camper van roadtrip from Cape Reinga to Bluff showcasing the best of NZ’s food scene so we hope that can help with your trip planning! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Loved filming at home. It's been so long since we've spent much time there so we really enjoyed being back, visiting our old favourites and getting to film. Love that view of the city. It's from a volcano called Mt Eden/Maungawhau. - Thomas 😀
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 thanks so much for your lovely comment Karen B! Hahahaha I think sometimes my mmmms annoy people but that's just me expressing how happy I am so I'm glad you like it 😝 Thanks for watching this one- it was brilliant getting to share a slice of home with everyone on here. Hope you enjoy the rest of the NZ series! Have a great week! Cheers, Sheena
We’re very lucky to have such diversity in the cuisines available here 😄 Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy our more recent NZ content. Cheers, Sheena
I know right?! Sooooo good! Thanks for watching and commenting mate- it was fun filming in Auckland- weird as everything is so familiar but fun :) Hope you're brilliant and you've shaken off that headache! Cheers, Sheena
Dan Dan noodles were a weekly thing for me when I was based there. Absolutely missing the place 😢. Bdw i used to rely on your Malaysian videos when I missed home. I guess the tables have turned now lol..
😆😆😆😆 how funny is that mate?! I just saw that they have a couple of restaurant now. Hope we can get a fix of their noodles soon. We hear the businesses in Malaysia are opening up soon! Stay safe and healthy mate. NZ sends its love! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Good to know they have finally expanded! I'm already looking forward to my next trip 😋. I'll be sure to try your other recommendations also. Things seem to be getting back to normal here though life will be different. Fortunately our great food isn't going anywhere. Thanks for your reply & wishing you guys all the best! Looking forward to more great content. Aroha mai, aroha atu. 😊
Im going to wing it here and suggest that the Maoris would not traditionally serve Hangi with the addition of Mesculin leaves.... toss them to the seagulls🕊 on the Wharf and DIG IN to the good stuff!🐷
🤣🤣🤣🤣 it was supposed to be watercress but I think they ran out dang it! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one Brilliant But Blue! Cheers, Sheena
Hi mate! All details for where we ate are in the UA-cam description. Thanks so much for the heads up about Velata- making a note so we can get there 😍 Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
That’s a nice place to have the next snack. The Samoa pie looks really buttery and flavored as you say. This was really nice guys! Can’t wait to watch more
That was a lovely place to eat a pie. Auckland is a very pretty city so it was nice to sit there and enjoy the pie. It sure was a great pie. Really unique and very tasty! Thanks so much for watching this Auckland video! Cheers, Thomas 😀
Wow! Whereabouts do you live Carl? We always marvel at the diversity of Chinese cuisine in Auckland. We were walking down the street the other day and there was food from Hunan, Szechuan, Xi’an, Guangdong, Taiwan- side by side. So awesome.
Hi islandudenz, thanks for watching and commenting mate. We are so keen to explore more Samoan spots- where do you like to go to get a feed out south? Hope you enjoy our current Auckland series! Cheers, Sheena
*_Hāngi_* - Obviously you two know about Hawaiian kalua pig/pork which is also cooked underground. Lots of work and no space so most restos use traditional kitchen methods as Thomas mentioned. Delicious. Very cool to see the sides that were served with the pork...stuffing! That was a surprise. *_Eden Noodles Cafe_* - I'd be all over those noodles and dumplings. Mmm, mmm. Is pavlova not really popular these days or not your favorite? I was hoping it would make an appearance. Another fantastic day! NZ flew by.
Hi Tosh, thanks for watching this one mate! Yes! Would love to give the Hawaiian version a taste one day. Is it easy to find do you know? Or is it relegated to the tourist dining experience- ie booking into the special Hawaiian umu feast at the hotel? You’d love those noodles and dumplings I’m sure- we eat there every time we’re home! So happy you enjoyed the NZ series mate. Ahhh pav is a real favourite in our house but we always make it at home- maybe we’ll do a short cooking segment in our next NZ series so we can include it 😄😍 thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Super casual *_Hawaiian Plate_* restaurants are in every city on the mainland USA and kalua pork is easily the most popular meat. A Hawaiian plate is choice of protein plus white rice and a scoop of mac salad - top 10 comfort food right there. Poke is the current popular Hawaiian food but kalua pork is the all time champ. But yes, traditional kalua (which means cooked in the ground 😀) is rare. The Polynesian center in Honolulu does it that way but like Hāngi, I imagine it's more backyard or special events. *_Pavlova_* - Glad you love it. I certainly read about pav before my trip to Sydney. It's not the first dessert people think about in the U.S. so would have been cool to hear your thoughts.
That sounds brilliant! Hawaiian Plate restaurants! Not something I've heard of before. Thanks so much for the info 😀 Ahhh yes, poke is all the rage in NZ right now!
Kia ora Peter, hope you enjoyed this video and like our more recent Kiwi content. Love getting a chance to showcase our country on here. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Lovely to see you enjoying the diversity of your home town! Everything you ate looked and sounded amazing. And I was completely swept away by the scenery of your beautiful country. Thanks for taking us along!
😍😍😍 so, so glad you enjoyed the series MsKestrela! We love how diverse Auckland is so it was neat getting to share it and our favourite eats whenever we’re home! Hope you like what we have coming up next! Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Absolutely love you two. Ive just found your vlogs and Im hooked. Im from Perth but born in NZ. The palusami pie "Fia ai" means I want to eat in Samoan.Yum my mouth is watering.Im off home in may and that most certainly is on my "to eat"list. You know I have to put it out there I feel you both should have a one hour foodie show similar to your vlogs. I find your presentation so alluring and so Kiwi. May I ask that if your in europe please visit and feature cusine from Poland. Im sure you'll love it. Good luck guys.Happy travels and "Manuia malaga"
Hi TAVITA BRICKLE, thanks so much for your lovely message! It's always awesome to hear from other Kiwis on here 😍 It's so funny you mention Poland as we are literally sitting at the airport waiting for our next flight headed to Poland! Can't wait to get into the food. So jealous that you're headed back in May- please eat all of the pies and fish and chips please 😋 Hope you enjoy the content we have coming up on the channel and thanks so much for taking the time to write. Cheers, Sheena
Ha Ha Sheena my psychic food wants must have activated for Polish Food. Im going to share something with you if your going to visit Gdansk then just outside of the city there is the town of Sopot. Please if you can dine at a traditional Polish restaurant called "Karczma Irena" Fryderyka Chopina 36 Phone:+48 512516910 I will leave the rest up to you to google serch. Enjoy Poland.I can't wait for this vlog.
Puri!!!! Yum. We love chickpeas and we could dive straight into that dish!! We also love the look of the noodle dish with all that spice....especially the szechaun pepper. Dumplings are always a winner hey. Another great episode guys 😍😎
Hi guys, thanks so much for watching and commenting! Puri are soooo good- in all dishes and chaat! The perfect vessel for all those chutneys etc. Hope you like what we have coming up on the channel! Cheers, Sheena

Lordy, that was a delicious food tour. Every item looked amazing, we all wanted try them. River can't do Dan Dan yet, but wow. Looking into visiting NZ later this year. Can't wait for your next video. Any chance you're going to Marseille or Berlin soon?
😄😄😄😄 bet River would have loved the dahi puri- it’s our favourite! Omg hope you get to NZ- it’s a long way but it’s worth it once you’re there- it’s truly spectacular! No Marseille or Berlin on the cards unfortunately 😢- are you guys heading that way?! Thanks for watching team! 😘 Cheers, Sheena
The best right! Everything just works so well together. We had a few really good ones while in Auckland. This and a my fancy version from a restaurant. Love it! - Thomas 😀
The hangi kind of reminds me of traditional American Thanksgiving dinner. Very interesting to see it available at a restaurant in a take-out container since I haven't ever witnessed that here in America, although we all eat a pretty similar plate at least once a year ;P
We’ve had a few Americans say that 😄 We can totally see why! Thanks for watching Rudy. Hope you enjoy the rest of the content on our channel. Cheers, Sheena
Noo, Kiwi Seies is over 😭 I still can't get over the "Kiwi" word when you talk about NZ things, it's just such a cute term nawww😍 I have to thank you SO much for taking us with you around where you lived, whuoo such stunning nature, it's breathtaking. And what a diversity of equal stunning looking food, I just need to taste it myself for sure😂 I really enjoyed it watching it, in this part I noticed how super exited you were on your way to visit your favourite restaurant, made me instant happy too because I know this feeling😃 I also have to thank you that you left the livestream online for a view days, so I could watch it.

Thanks for checking this one out! We're so glad to be back and we're loved posting this New Zealand series of videos. So neat getting to show off a bit of home! Auckland has so much food so we really enjoyed getting to show a few of our favourites. Thanks again for watching! Cheers, Thomas 😀
Loved it ! New Zealand's always been on my list of places to visit. After seeing this video, Auckland just jumped up the list. What a beautiful city and now with the great food, I have even more reason to go.
Totally rick wagner! It’s such a diverse city and the food scene is great. Hope you get to visit soon- it’s a beautiful place (even though we are biased!) 😍 thanks for watching and commenting! Hope you enjoy the rest of the NZ series! Cheers, Sheena
You really should eat at least the day before doing these videos Thomas, the amount of food you stuff in your mouth with the first taste is mind boggling, I honestly thought you would choke there.
Haha I like to get a taste of everything to really enjoy the dish. I honestly don’t eat that much at once though. My mouth is too small for that. 😂 thanks for watching. Thomas
😄😄😄😄 thanks for watching and commenting mate. Hope you enjoyed this video! It was neat getting to film at home. Hope you like the rest of our NZ series! 😍 Cheers, Sheena
We're so glad you love it! It's a special place 😀 Yes, there aren't too many videos out there! Hope people enjoy our little series! Have a great weekend! Cheers, Sheena

Thanks so much for your very kind words Ar Em. We're so glad you enjoyed this one. We loved getting to film in our home town and show it off. We don't get to visit Auckland often so it was really neat being home for a little while and getting to film. These are some of our favourite places in Auckland. So much good food! Thanks very much for watching this one. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Hi there, I'm coming over in November and i see the Maori kitchen is closed permentatly. I'm looking for a local please to have hungai? Could i reach out to you folks for some advice please?
Hi mate, how exciting you’re heading our way! It’s really difficult to find hangi- we have heard that The Hangi Shop in Otahuhu do a good one although we haven’t tried it. If you’re travelling outside of Auckland you sometimes see people selling it on the side of the road from their cars too. Hope you manage to try it! Thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena
Auckland, New Zealand looks so beautiful here, cool! I would definitely come to this place and explore here. Thanks for showing us your home you guys, this is lovely! 😉
Thanks! Auckland is a really pretty city. You're never far from water and because of all the volcanoes there are plenty of amazing views to be had. We loved getting to film there. Thanks so much for watching this one! Cheers, Thomas 😀😀
I'm on the phone to a friend tossing up between Sandringham or Dominion Road whilst this video pops up in recommended.....Unbelievable. She's insisting we go to Satya for Dahi Puri (100 meters away from Mumbai Chaat) I'm keen on Luv a Duck or Eden Noodles.....So we'll do both.
No way?! 🤣 Great call on hitting up both! Oh gosh I could definitely go a meal at Eden Noodles right now and Satya for that matter. Enjoy Peter Kotara, thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
I'm loving this series! Thank you for showing us NZ. That palusami looks so good. NZ Palm corned beef is the best canned cb, after all. Maori cooking method with hot stones - sounds exactly like the Hawaiian imu - must be a Polynesian connection there. And those Indian snacks are so mouth-watering!
So glad you've enjoyed the New Zealand videos. We're so happy we got to head home for a while and film these. We're very proud Kiwis so it's really nest being able to show off some of the food from NZ. That pie really was amazing. Such a unique pie. Hāngi is a really neat way of cooking. Gives a great flavour to the food and yes just like the imu. There are a few ideas about where the Maori arrived in NZ from and one of the thoughts is from the Americas. Love that place for Indian chaat also. Great restaurant! Thanks very much for watching and commenting. Cheers, Thomas 😀
It's a really diverse city. We loved growing up in Auckland and it's diversity has really made us into who we are now and why we love travelling the world to eat. 😋😀 Cheers, Thomas 😀

Hi mate! Omg yes, we’ve had oysters and fish and chips there! It’s such a cool spot eh?! Loved sitting out looking at the water.

Wow, living among 200+ ethnicity must be amazing. Their food & cultures must be one of the many things to inspire you guys to become food vloggers.
Love the Chaat ! Going for it today.
Also can't wait for you guys to visit India again.
See you guys soon hopefully.
Absolutely Rahul Marksole, the diversity is amazing! Oh gosh the chaat took us right back to India- we dream about the food all the time 😍 can’t wait to return soon. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Hope you’ve enjoyed the NZ series. Cheers, Sheena
It is amazing to know so many cultures. However, it is often difficult for people from non-native cultures to replicate some of their important dishes because the ingredients just aren't available in the country, so they either make substitutes when they can or they can't make the dish altogether. Also, some of the same produce can differ from the produce from the origin, for eg the mustard greens grown in Australia tend to be much less bitter than the ones in Asia and some fruits tend to be less intense than the ones from Asia.
Aukland is also the place to be 👍👍👍👍
Such awesome diversity in the food scene! I want those noodles desperately! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate. Hope you enjoyed it. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate love noodles aswell, keep safe
More nz food vids plz. They are chur 😂
This Canadian is going to be there soon. 😊❤
Chur mate 😍 how exciting that you’re heading to our wee corner of the world soon! Where will you visit?! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one- so envious of all the fish and chips and mince and cheese pies you will no doubt devour 😍 Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate spending a month exploring your beautiful country. 😍
Fantastic! What a great amount of time- you’ll be able to fit a lot in 🙌

Video is informative and cool
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. Thomas
Yessss highlighting your home city! Like the view of the skyline in the distance
Loved filming at home. It's been so long since we've spent much time there so we really enjoyed being back, visiting our old favourites and getting to film. Love that view of the city. It's from a volcano called Mt Eden/Maungawhau. - Thomas 😀
Awesome guys...
.👍👍
Hi mate, thanks for watching and commenting. Loved getting to film a video in our hometown 😄 so happy you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena

Holy Moly indeed! Who knew Samoan pies were a thing! And omg that Indian food. GET IN MY TUMMY! Another epic video guys!
I know right?! Sooooo good! Thanks for watching and commenting mate- it was fun filming in Auckland- weird as everything is so familiar but fun :) Hope you're brilliant and you've shaken off that headache! Cheers, Sheena
Dan Dan noodles were a weekly thing for me when I was based there. Absolutely missing the place 😢. Bdw i used to rely on your Malaysian videos when I missed home. I guess the tables have turned now lol..
😆😆😆😆 how funny is that mate?! I just saw that they have a couple of restaurant now. Hope we can get a fix of their noodles soon. We hear the businesses in Malaysia are opening up soon! Stay safe and healthy mate. NZ sends its love! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Good to know they have finally expanded! I'm already looking forward to my next trip 😋. I'll be sure to try your other recommendations also. Things seem to be getting back to normal here though life will be different. Fortunately our great food isn't going anywhere. Thanks for your reply & wishing you guys all the best! Looking forward to more great content. Aroha mai, aroha atu. 😊
Love how that pork just breaks apart so easily I’m curious as to how they season it! Looks delicious
Very simply- it’s not a strong flavour at all- just tastes naturally of the meat 😄🤤

We totally need to get down your way! There are some spots we are dying to hit up! Thanks for watching and commenting Stephen. Cheers, Sheena
So well done I would like to try that pie !
It was so good Solomon! Rich and full of flavour. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one, hope you enjoyed this episode. Cheers, Sheena
Im going to wing it here and suggest that the Maoris would not traditionally serve Hangi with the addition of Mesculin leaves.... toss them to the seagulls🕊 on the Wharf and DIG IN to the good stuff!🐷
🤣🤣🤣🤣 it was supposed to be watercress but I think they ran out dang it! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one Brilliant But Blue! Cheers, Sheena
Where do you get the palusami pies from? You guys should try Velata way in Otahuhu, great Tongan food there! Keep the Vlogs coming through 👌🏼
Hi mate! All details for where we ate are in the UA-cam description. Thanks so much for the heads up about Velata- making a note so we can get there 😍 Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
That’s a nice place to have the next snack.
The Samoa pie looks really buttery and flavored as you say.
This was really nice guys!
Can’t wait to watch more
That was a lovely place to eat a pie. Auckland is a very pretty city so it was nice to sit there and enjoy the pie. It sure was a great pie. Really unique and very tasty! Thanks so much for watching this Auckland video! Cheers, Thomas 😀
You are lucky to have Szechuan food so close. I have to travel 100+Km for it.
Wow! Whereabouts do you live Carl? We always marvel at the diversity of Chinese cuisine in Auckland. We were walking down the street the other day and there was food from Hunan, Szechuan, Xi’an, Guangdong, Taiwan- side by side. So awesome.
Hey there’s plenty of Samoan cafe bakeries and Samoan street food in south auckland otara markets and shops and mangere too
Hi islandudenz, thanks for watching and commenting mate. We are so keen to explore more Samoan spots- where do you like to go to get a feed out south? Hope you enjoy our current Auckland series! Cheers, Sheena
*_Hāngi_* - Obviously you two know about Hawaiian kalua pig/pork which is also cooked underground. Lots of work and no space so most restos use traditional kitchen methods as Thomas mentioned. Delicious. Very cool to see the sides that were served with the pork...stuffing! That was a surprise.
*_Eden Noodles Cafe_* - I'd be all over those noodles and dumplings. Mmm, mmm.
Is pavlova not really popular these days or not your favorite? I was hoping it would make an appearance.
Another fantastic day! NZ flew by.
Hi Tosh, thanks for watching this one mate! Yes! Would love to give the Hawaiian version a taste one day. Is it easy to find do you know? Or is it relegated to the tourist dining experience- ie booking into the special Hawaiian umu feast at the hotel? You’d love those noodles and dumplings I’m sure- we eat there every time we’re home! So happy you enjoyed the NZ series mate. Ahhh pav is a real favourite in our house but we always make it at home- maybe we’ll do a short cooking segment in our next NZ series so we can include it 😄😍 thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Super casual *_Hawaiian Plate_* restaurants are in every city on the mainland USA and kalua pork is easily the most popular meat. A Hawaiian plate is choice of protein plus white rice and a scoop of mac salad - top 10 comfort food right there. Poke is the current popular Hawaiian food but kalua pork is the all time champ. But yes, traditional kalua (which means cooked in the ground 😀) is rare. The Polynesian center in Honolulu does it that way but like Hāngi, I imagine it's more backyard or special events.
*_Pavlova_* - Glad you love it. I certainly read about pav before my trip to Sydney. It's not the first dessert people think about in the U.S. so would have been cool to hear your thoughts.
That sounds brilliant! Hawaiian Plate restaurants! Not something I've heard of before. Thanks so much for the info 😀 Ahhh yes, poke is all the rage in NZ right now!
Kia ora sis enjoy

Good luck guys.Happy travels and "Manuia malaga"
Hi TAVITA BRICKLE, thanks so much for your lovely message!

😄😄😄😄 bet River would have loved the dahi puri- it’s our favourite! Omg hope you get to NZ- it’s a long way but it’s worth it once you’re there- it’s truly spectacular! No Marseille or Berlin on the cards unfortunately 😢- are you guys heading that way?! Thanks for watching team! 😘 Cheers, Sheena
That palusami pie looks delist😋
It was fantastic 😍 rich and full of flavour! Such a great day of eating 😄 Thanks for watching this one Donna! Cheers, Sheena
We LOVE samosa chaat! The mix of flavors from the samosa itself along with all the chickpeas, sauces and chutneys. Really blends so well together

The hangi kind of reminds me of traditional American Thanksgiving dinner. Very interesting to see it available at a restaurant in a take-out container since I haven't ever witnessed that here in America, although we all eat a pretty similar plate at least once a year ;P
😄😄😄 I can totally see how it would remind you of Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks for watching No way, hope you enjoyed the video mate. Cheers, Sheena

Totally rick wagner! It’s such a diverse city and the food scene is great. Hope you get to visit soon- it’s a beautiful place (even though we are biased!) 😍 thanks for watching and commenting! Hope you enjoy the rest of the NZ series! Cheers, Sheena
You really should eat at least the day before doing these videos Thomas, the amount of food you stuff in your mouth with the first taste is mind boggling, I honestly thought you would choke there.
Haha I like to get a taste of everything to really enjoy the dish. I honestly don’t eat that much at once though. My mouth is too small for that. 😂 thanks for watching. Thomas
Mmmm, Samosa Chaat.
🤤🤤🤤🤤 one of my favourite chaat ever! Thanks for watching and commenting Carl, hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
Awesome that you get the mix of New Zealand of the pie with the Polynesian flavors. Taro leaves and coconut milk...yum!
That pie was something else. Such a great combo. Really bold in it's flavour and it really worked in a pie. 😋
Oh yes!! All that food !!
Do we have oysters again in this episode?? Freaking awesome !!
No oysters this time around. We sure did well on the oysters in the last video though 😋😀 Thanks for watching this one! Cheers, Thomas 😀

Thanks so much for your very kind words Ar Em. We're so glad you enjoyed this one. We loved getting to film in our home town and show it off. We don't get to visit Auckland often so it was really neat being home for a little while and getting to film. These are some of our favourite places in Auckland. So much good food! Thanks very much for watching this one. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Hi there, I'm coming over in November and i see the Maori kitchen is closed permentatly. I'm looking for a local please to have hungai? Could i reach out to you folks for some advice please?
Hi mate, how exciting you’re heading our way! It’s really difficult to find hangi- we have heard that The Hangi Shop in Otahuhu do a good one although we haven’t tried it. If you’re travelling outside of Auckland you sometimes see people selling it on the side of the road from their cars too. Hope you manage to try it! Thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena
Auckland, New Zealand looks so beautiful here, cool! I would definitely come to this place and explore here. Thanks for showing us your home you guys, this is lovely! 😉
Thanks! Auckland is a really pretty city. You're never far from water and because of all the volcanoes there are plenty of amazing views to be had. We loved getting to film there. Thanks so much for watching this one! Cheers, Thomas 😀😀
You guys should go to spicy house in Dominion Road
Thanks for watching this one mate! It’s an oldie! Hope you enjoy our more recent content. Cheers, Sheena
I'm on the phone to a friend tossing up between Sandringham or Dominion Road whilst this video pops up in recommended.....Unbelievable.
She's insisting we go to Satya for Dahi Puri (100 meters away from Mumbai Chaat) I'm keen on Luv a Duck or Eden Noodles.....So we'll do both.
No way?! 🤣 Great call on hitting up both! Oh gosh I could definitely go a meal at Eden Noodles right now and Satya for that matter. Enjoy Peter Kotara, thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
I'm loving this series! Thank you for showing us NZ. That palusami looks so good. NZ Palm corned beef is the best canned cb, after all. Maori cooking method with hot stones - sounds exactly like the Hawaiian imu - must be a Polynesian connection there. And those Indian snacks are so mouth-watering!
So glad you've enjoyed the New Zealand videos. We're so happy we got to head home for a while and film these. We're very proud Kiwis so it's really nest being able to show off some of the food from NZ. That pie really was amazing. Such a unique pie. Hāngi is a really neat way of cooking. Gives a great flavour to the food and yes just like the imu. There are a few ideas about where the Maori arrived in NZ from and one of the thoughts is from the Americas. Love that place for Indian chaat also. Great restaurant! Thanks very much for watching and commenting. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Oh wow 200 ethnicities!!
So cool you could find a place to eat some native food
We bet the pumpkin change the whole dynamic of flavors in that dish
It's a really diverse city. We loved growing up in Auckland and it's diversity has really made us into who we are now and why we love travelling the world to eat. 😋😀 Cheers, Thomas 😀
