So When I show these pictures to you, I'm going to try hard not to cry ( I miss NZ!!!) and plus I'm hungry which not the best way to start a food blog especially from places across the world from me. lmao But I will manage. If you're curious of what happened and what I did in New Zealand, I will post some pictures of here and there of New Zealand aaaaand I have a video for you guys at the end of this post so please check out my youtube channel to see the video! The Link will be in the end!
When We were in New Zealand, we tried a lot of restaurants but I'm not going to lie we were happy to see they had a Burger King and McDonalds lmao. I definetly wanted to try the fast food places over there to see if their food is any different from ours. And yaaaas it's a difference, Burger King's burger meat is way thicker and it taste like actually beef burger. Even the fries are more crispier and delicious. They didn't over salt it at all. I love NZ Burger King, I recently had an Amercian one when I came back but it wasn't the same but ehh. All thru the trip I really really wanted to try out this pie called Plum And Custard PIE from McDonalds. In New Zealand, they dont have McDonalds in every corner like America does so it was kinda harder to find but i'll let you know if it worth it ....( the search for plum custard pie shall be continued).....
I want to go in order of which restuarants we went first and all that so just letting you know. ;)
FOOD FROM PAIHAI
So the first actual sit down restaurant we went to was this BBQ place, Bill picked it out especially since it was his b-day and you know men and their BBQ! lol I loved the place a lot. It reminded me lot of America BBQ restuarant.
My chicken burger was sooo good! Everything about this meal was so delicious!
Christina had the Chicken Pesto Wrapped in Bacon w/ Coleslaw and Fries.
Cecelia had the Baby Back Ribs and fries.
Bill had the same thing as Cecelia
This was two warm cinnamon donuts served with chocolate ice cream w/ whip cream and chocolate syrup! = PERFECTION
I think all of us would agree that our favorite restaurant in Paihai was Alfrescos! We went here three times out of our trip and I'm so happy we did. We got reccomended by this restaurant by really sweet German guy that actually works here but we meet him on the streets of Paihai trying to find another restuarant of another name. lmao
1st breakfast here I didn't take much pictures cuz hunger was calling my name lol.... but here is a few.
I think this was called Brekkie Breakfast. It was really good! It had toast with this thick creamy butter, with roasted baby potatoes, eggs, sausages, and roasted tomato! Yuuummm.
Christina had the same as me but with Bacon! yuuumm. Ignore the long face, trust she was happy I'm just not really good at capturing pictures when im hungry myself. *wrongtiming*
That day we went to take boat ride so we can adventure out in the Island of Russel.
When we got to Russel Island, we had a tour of the whole island! <333
Our Tour Guide! <333 He is so sweet and funny too! AND I looove his accent!
After We were really cold, LMAO most of the trip We were really cold, especially me and Cecelia! So we got some Hot Chocolate from one of the chocolate shops in Russel.
We also had some of this handmade chocolate in the shop and it was sooo delicious!
Bill bought some Nacho Cheese Doritos and we later figured out it taste nothing like our Nacho cheese Dortios. They're taste like taco seasoning and cool ranch. lmao We did get another Dorito bag and it was called Cheesier Dortios. They tried lmao. It's funny to try different things from different countries that also USA has.
So for Dinner that day We went to our fave food hang out of course Alfresco's!
This was sooooo sooooo good! OMG! It was two tender chicken breast, with a feta cheese pine nuts salad, and roasted sweet potatoes! and it was heavenly! Amazing! <333 Yuuummm
I think Christina go the pork belly dish with mashed potatoes! <333
NOW this is the drink that I was talking about in the beginning! This is Christina and I's favorite thing to drink in NZ. It sooooo good! We love it! I miss this more than anything right now! It's Lemon and Paeroa soft soda drink! It doesn't have a strong bubbly taste it's smooth and sweet and ahhhh! Love it!!! <3
Guess where we went for Breakfast.... ALFRESCOS! I'm telling you this place was amazing!
I had Banana Nut Loaf with cinnamon butter w/ delicious banana foster and whip cream. Bacon And Eggs! Orange Juice on the siiiiide! <3333
Cecelia had a Salmon Egg Benedict! <333
Bill had an omelet with butter toast with bacon and eggs!
I believe Christina had the same as Bill's but scrambled eggs instead.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
So going to Rotorua, We stopped at this cute lil cafe that was recommended by the sweetest person we met on the trip, Barbara! We met her at Bai Hali Motel because she owns that motel (which is gorgeous motel by the way and highly recommended!!!) She told us they have some really good food there and we should check it out! Soo we did!
Me and Christina got this BLTA ( Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato and Avocado) Sandwich on Foccica Bread! It was so yummy!
Also gotta nice cold ice coffee! <333
We also got these delicious potatoes wedges. Perfection! <333 We took over Bill's Fries! lmao xD
Thanks Bill! :D He had a ham and cheese sandwich! Which is behind the water bottle glass! lmao
Bill also got a lime milkshake! Cecelia had I believe Clam Chowder! She loved it! <333

So we met the neighborhood/restuarant cat! which is such a cutie pie and fell in love with Christina!
True Facts: Cats love Christina and Christina loves Cats. Literally everytime there is cat around anywhere and they see Christina they fall in love with her! She is literally CatWoman I swear! But the good one not the one that steals jewerly in the Comic Books ....lol
And we also met the restuarant friend chicken named Hector! He is quite Handsome. Look at the colors on that boy! <333
Sooo Happy to be there! and ready to take nap after that yummy food.
