  • Lamingtons @ Agnes Curran
    Spotted August 21, 2011
    triple lamington-spotting mmm. is it me, or has the lamingtons at agnes curran grown smaller and less generous with the raspberry jam? not being accusatory, though, because to be fair, they haven't raised prices even after the GST hike and rising costs of commodity staples (shrug)

  • Macarons @ J'aime Les Macarons
    Spotted August 21, 2011
    Clockwise from top left - blackcurrant & violet, pear & ginger, sticky date, manuka honey & hazelnut, licorice & milk chocolate, bitter chocolate. personal favourites are the bitter chocolate (only perennial offering out of the six we chose) and sticky date. probably the only macarons in nz that are good enough to compete with the ones at la renaissance of the rocks, sydney (which are the best i've ever personally tried).

  • Tempura Banana @ Kohan Japanese Restaurant
    Spotted August 21, 2011
    could the presentation be any more whimsical? the tempura was rather forgettable, to be honest (batter was too thick and slightly undercooked), but the fig ice cream we ordered to go with (dish comes with a free scoop of ice cream by default) was phenomenal.

  • Green Tea Ice Cream @ Kohan Japanese Restaurant
    Spotted August 21, 2011
    kohan hand makes all their ice creams (5-6 flavours in total, if my memory serves me correctly). their green tea was ohkay. a tad sweet for my liking, but i imagine a lot of people would like it this way.

  • Chicken Katsu Don @ Kohan Japanese Restaurant
    Spotted August 21, 2011
    as flawless as a chicken katsu don will get. who knew there'd be such authentic japanese to be found in the barren (yet admittedly stunning) landscape that is lake tekapo?

      Lil @meei; natto is more a home food right? Most Japanese places in Sydney just do sashimi, sushi, udon, ramen, rice, tempura, gyoza...generic things like that. Nothing different. I don't know if I've had stinky tofu before. But I do love tofu!

  • Teriyaki Salmon @ Kohan Japanese Restaurant
    Spotted August 21, 2011
    also part of the lunch set that comes with a plateful of appetizers, miso soup and rice. one of the better teriyaki salmons you'll find, where the salmon isn't actually overcooked. beautifully treated; soft, fleshy texture and not a bit of toughness to be found in the muscles.

  • Tempura Lunch @ Kohan Japanese Restaurant
    Spotted August 21, 2011
    the main of a lunch set that came with a taster of assorted sides (fried salmon, edamame, pickled cabbage and tamago), miso soup and rice. tempura done pretty well here - helps that the produce is fresh.
