Savouring seasonal flavours in the heart of Cornwall Park~ Located within the picturesque Cornwall Park is a café that offers the perfect excuse to slow down amid one of Auckland's most beloved green spaces.  Before exploring the park and eventually tackling the hike up One Tree Hill , my travel buddy and I decided to stop by for a quick lunch to fuel up.

NZL: Tony's Original Steak & Seafood Restaurant

Image
Auckland's oldest continuously operating steakhouse! It's no secret that I love beef, so I definitely had to check out a legendary restaurant that's been around since 1963. Stepping inside the restaurant with more than six decades of history felt like taking a trip back in time. The warm timber furnishings, vintage décor and cosy lighting certainly give the restaurant an old-school charm.

NZL: Sensational Chicken

Image
Not so sensational, but good enough! Tucked away on Mount Street in the heart of the university precinct of Auckland, Sensational Chicken has built a loyal following among students and locals alike seeking an affordable and filling meal. With such a name, my expectations naturally ran high. While the menu also features burgers and the likes, my travel buddy and I only tried their fried chicken and waffle fries.

An oyster bar worth shell-ebrating at the historic Ferry Terminal! Occupying a cosy spot along the bustling waterfront of Auckland, The Shucker Brothers is a compact eatery that's quietly built a strong reputation among seafood lovers. My travel buddy and I sat outside on a wooden table, soaking up the afternoon sunshine as the gentle hum of the harbour created an effortlessly relaxing backdrop for lunch.

NZL: President Hotel Auckland [Breakfast]

Image
Those juicy  sautéed mushrooms put me in a 'fungi' good mood! Located right in the heart of the Central Business District, President Hotel Auckland (3*) was my hotel of choice for my inaugural trip to the city, and New Zealand as a whole. The breakfast spread offered at the hotel might be very limited, but having a selection of hot items to start the day certainly made the stay feel worthwhile.

HKG: Po Lin Monastery Vegetarian Kitchen

Image
Vegetarian treat after climbing up to the Big Buddha! I just found the lines from the website to be pretty interesting: "After a visit to the Big Buddha and having climbed up and down the long flight of stone steps, you will be forgiven for feeling a bit weak and sore in the legs. Nothing would beat a lull and a cup of tea in the monastery’s vegetarian kitchen and enjoy the special delicacy of vegetarian dishes of the monastery." :)

SIN: Singapore Airlines SQ392 (Premium Economy)

Image
Delicious Indonesian 'nasi uduk' with chili prawns! The middle of this year saw me doing a long-haul flight in the Premium Economy Class cabin of Singapore Airlines' Airbus 350-900 aircraft for the first time. In fact, it was also my first time flying directly to Istanbul, Turkey from Singapore. In general, I enjoyed the two meal services: supper and breakfast.
