Cafe

 


Here in New Zealand there is a big South African community in various towns and cities. This one in Hokitika sells mostly products like Biltong, Milk tart and other delicacies. I haven't actually been in there yet to check them out but probably will do next time I'm in town.

We have a lot of Polish people here that bring their special foods here and sell them in Polish shops. It's one place we can find pierogies most of the year.

As an expat there is always one thing you find you eventually cannot live happily without. Those expat shops become lifelines. (Alrhough even then I couldn't get parsnips in Greece!🤣)

That sounds great! I don't think I've ever had the chance to try South African cuisine.

Have a great weekend, Amy!

If it's anything like the African restaurant here, the food will be great.

I looked up milk tart and biltong (which sounds like what I'd call jerky, maybe different spices) and both sound delicious! I love the shadows! Thanks for linking to Shadow Shot Sunday.

So colorful, and I'm sure the food would be interesting and hot-spicy.

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 ...

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 .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
