Capt Thomas and Aunty Lilian re-open their award-winning fish & chips shop Greenwoods Fresh Catch. Capt Thomas says he’s been to Alaska to re-charge his batteries. @JohnJCampbell’s video of his visit is no longer on high repeat.

Still driving the black Fiat Bambina and still the butt of jokes. So here goes, pop the cork and off we go into the New Year! Last year misfired.

You can get decent Hainanese Chicken Rice from Sim’s Kitchen, 1/59 Victoria St, Onehunga. Chicken is poached tender, rice is garlic ginger fragrant, soy dip & chilli ginger garlic sauce uplift the chicken rice.

Go-to for Bánh Mì is our local Fusion Cafe, 32 Jervois Rd. Owners Nam & Anh have perfected the Vietnamese roll, from crispy-skin baguette to the lemongrass pork/chicken/beef & slathered with chicken liver pâté + pickled daikon & herbs.

Singapore Rice Vermicelli, Penang-style. The umami fest is achieved by the mix of soy, chilli, tomato and Worcestershire sauces and squeeze of lemon. Chef Roy at Mutiara Restaurant has taken Char Bee Hoon to a new (Penang) level.

Snapper caught and filleted by top chef Phil Clark @ClarkChef of Phil’s Kitchen & Kingsland Social Club and cooked by yours truly, with cooking tips from the man himself. Happy end to “if it's Friday it must be fish” (for Catholics).

A pearler of a day in Tamaki Makaurau - the sky is blue, the gleaming Waitemata Harbour calm and the Auckland Harbour Bridge straddles the two parts of the city.

PieFee at 349 K Road make award-winning pies as well as pastries and cakes. Bite into their own-recipe sourdough almond croissant and you will find another layer of gorgeousness - a filling of ground almond, butter and egg.

Herne Bay’s postal outlet identity has her own pizza made by owner Freydo next door at The Italian Job, 242 Jervois Rd. It has everything a traditional Italian pizza has so you won’t find pineapple or tandoori chicken on it.

The archetypal Anglo Chinese dish, together with Egg Fu Young. The crispy Sweet & Sour Chicken (or pork) at Canto Canto, Westfield Broadway will take you back to days when Fried Rice is considered an exotic Chinese.
