Brunch at King Wah's




Last weekend in our quest to try new places to eat at we decided to give "King Wah's Buffet Restaurant" in Paihia a go. Nice outdoor courtyard area in the shade was a blessing from the Summer heat.
 

B ordered some battered oysters which to me is almost like sacrilege as I am a huge seafood fan and to me oysters are best raw with some lemon juice drizzled on them but each to their own I guess. I ordered a shrimp cocktail with pickled seaweed and coleslaw on the side - soooo good!

Looks nice but not the sort of thing I would eat as I'm not keen on seafood

I'm not a seafood eater, but hopefully there would be more on the menu.

My mouth is watering. Seafood is my favourite kind of food and that looks like a plateful of heaven.

I agree with you about battered oysters and battered sausages! Yummy food anyway. Chinese here is a packet of instant noodles.

That looks very tasty! I'm with you on the oysters. They are perfect raw.

I'd go with your shrimp salad. Despite the fact that I love mussels I can't eat oysters. I think it stems from when I was about 5 watching my grandfather dip them in raw egg and just swallow them whole.

It's nice to visit new places. Your post is a breath of fresh air after reading so many that are locked down or full of photos with masked people :)

It's great to see your link at 'My Corner of the World' this week!

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
