  • We start the day with a beautiful drive up to Mangonui to try what might be the best fish & chips in New Zealand! We had no idea that shark & chips (a.k.a. Lemonfish) was so popular (and delicious) here. Then we head to the Matapouri Mermaid Pools to swim in these beautiful tide pools!

      You should try the gourmet burgers from Burger Fuel as they have plenty of franchise outlets in major cities across NZ. Also, make sure to try Fergburger when you're in Queenstown as they are known as one of the best burger joints in the world. The line to enter the restaurant has always been long and the place always packed with tourists. Hope this helps with your food adventure!

    Hey just an easy tip that'll greatly help your Māori pronunciation: if you see a macron over a vowel, it means the vowel is long so you hold it out for twice the length. It often ends up sounding much like if the syllable were stressed, so HA-pu-ku for Hāpuku, and KU-ma-ra for kūmara. Us kiwis are quite used to people having difficulty with pronunciation (even many other kiwis), but what makes it really hard to understand is when the syllable timing is off, like if you say ku-MA-ra. ❤️

    Shark used to be fairly common in British fish 'n' chip shops until about 20 years ago sold under the euphemism 'rock salmon', or just 'rock'. It was a small species of shark called dogfish. I never much cared for it as it was a bit tasteless and the cartilaginous bones were often included (as a result it was usually the cheapest fish on the menu). Eventually, they had to ban its sale because it became over-fished.

    I have always been very fond of shark. I also like swordfish.

I love to eat and see what people eat, normally in various places. Part of the charm of your channel is the fact that it is a travel/food combination.

From the links, it looks like someone else created the music. Do you edit it? I know you have a musical background. It is fun to pick out the underlying songs, like the Louis Armstrong from some time back.

      Yes that place is really good. Right up there. I also rate the Mt Vic Chippery in Wellington as a gr8 chip shop.

    Fun travels! Just check out a couple of youtube vids on pronouncing vowels in Maori on youtube. Think of the sound of the 'ng' in 'singer'. It's far easier than English as there are fewer letters to deal with and they are authentic and consistent in their sound as opposed to English. I dare you to show a lot of us New Zealanders up and pronounce Maori words better than a lot of us do! That would be the best video!
