Them: hi!
Me: hi.
Them: What’s for lunch?
Me: Kangaroo.
You’ve heard right people, Murder Burger has kangaroo sausages on their menu. Its gamey, smoky and has a salty/slightly tangy after-taste to it. I really like it.
A small tub of hollandaise sauce is also included with it, but really, I buy the sausages just for the hollandaise sauce. A Roo Burger is on offer too. But it was bland and chewy when I had it. I’ll just stick with the kangaroo sausages.
“But they’re so cute and fluffy and global warming…”. Whateva, I love my food too much.

Fresh asparagus
Garlic & thyme herb paste
yum.
Asparagus has got to be the perfect spring veg. Distinctive, fresh and flavorsome, yum.
It’s a lazy rainy Sunday afternoon, and I had this sudden craving. Here’s how I cook mine:
- Blanch asparagus in boiling salted water. Don’t overcook them! Mushy asparagus is… no good :0
- In a pestle and mortar, bash up a generous amount of garlic and a few sticks of thyme. Drizzle in olive oil while you crush the paste.
- Just lightly brown the garlic paste in a pan, and toss in the asparagus.
- To serve, drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and lemon juice. Season well with sea salt and crushed pepper.
Simple!
Saturday summer lunch - Pan fry fish with kaffir lime leaves & tumeric.
Cooking fish this way is real common in various parts in South East Asia. The flavor is just amazing.
Finished it off with strawberries.
White bait fritter
Dates pudding with caramel sauce
Both highly recommended @ Jafa Cafe
The pudding is… delicious…
Couscous and poached egg for supper.
Mushroom, spinach & blue cheese
il buco pizza
il buco pizza
Melted liquid chocolate
Arguably the best pizza place so far. il buco in Ponsoby Auckland is NOT your average tomato purée, barbeque sauce and frozen ham pizza joint.
A polaroid wall montage of pizza eating customers, no more than 10 chairs, and a rustic look and feel. This place is oozing with character!
Their pizza??!! Fantastic. My favorite would have to be spinaci e gorgonzola - mozzarella, spinach, chilli and blue cheese.
They also have this drink that is made out of melted liquid chocolate. To die for, I say.
Highly recommended.
Asparagus risotto with garlic prawn & squid. I like.
Ice Cream!
New Zealand Kapiti Vanilla Creme - reason to wake up in the morning.
