Southern Asian Restaurant 潮州餐馆

The Teochew restaurant is located in Chinatown. After shopping in the supermarket next door, we felt a little hungry, so we had lunch here. Their dishes are all home-style.

We were very impressed with the service provided. There was a guy in a black coat who paid very close attention to our table but I was not able to make out his name and also Ms. Lee Chin. Thank you for the service you provided to us. The food was really good and the portions were huge. We left with happy tummies

The motel owner recommended this restaurant. It is very cost-effective and is near New World. There were many Chinese people eating there around 2 o'clock. After we sat down, a group of tourists came. The business was very hot. We ordered one Teochew fried rice, one salt and pepper chicken wings, one boiled beef, and one mixed broth. #Teochew fried rice# You can tell it is fried in a big oil pan with Chinese characteristics. The rice is very fragrant. #Salt and pepper chicken wings# It's fried okay, not sprinkled with salt and pepper. #Boiled beef# The taste is okay, not very spicy. #Mixed broth# Similar to rice noodle, but harder than rice noodle and tastes quite light.

This place is not in the commercial and residential center, but it is also within the ring road, so it has become a designated restaurant for tourist groups. The environment of New Zealand is very clean, so there is no doubt that the hygiene of the restaurant is OK. It's just that the shop is relatively small, and it can only accommodate about seven or eight large tables and a few small tables. In our peak tourist season, waiting for tables to turn over has become the norm, and cleaning up the tableware is hasty, so mess is inevitable. As a Cantonese, it is difficult to accept that their tea is almost cold, and it is useless for washing tableware. In addition, there is only one toilet, and every time after eating, you have to wait in a long line. I have never had high hopes for group meals, but the ones here are quite authentic, especially Cantonese dishes such as steamed fish and stir-fried choy sum, which make people taste the taste of home, but the soup is indeed a bit shabby.

It was my first meal in New Zealand, so I enjoyed it very much. Group meals, 5 dishes and 1 soup for lunch, 6 dishes and 1 soup for dinner. Cantonese cuisine, soup comes first. Seaweed soup is also soup. Chinese cabbage, relatively refreshing, tastes better than the ones in China. Pork slices with black fungus, some pickled cabbage, tastes very good. Braised beef, quite a lot of radish. Cod, so tender! So fragrant, so fresh. If you serve cod in group meals in China, you will lose a lot. Steamed egg, just to make up the number. The fruit after the meal is apple, New Zealand apples taste very good.
