Munch: Burger Wellington (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At $17 below this year’s average burger price, the Get Smashed from Caffe L’Affare was off to a good start. Plenty of other people agreed: the line for a table here was out the door when I arrived at lunchtime. Inside, the kitchen was churning out burgers; a long row of white-and-red-checked paper trays was lined up on the counter for service. Certainly a quantity-based approach to the festival. If the gingham serviettes weren’t a giveaway, this burger was pretty classic. A shiny brioche bun and
Munch: Platform 145 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By the time this issue goes to print, Wellington will again be going feral for chunky sandwiches. Every pub, cafe, and ferry terminal will be scrambling to serve their own Wonky Bonky Baby Burger—a 60-centimetre tall monstrosity, made with the mince of a steer called Jeremy who was fed on a stash of Snickers Pods—topped with beetroot, banana, and a relish of wild dandelion root picked under a new moon, in an Arobake brioche bun. No, I jest. A midwinter festival to get people out and sampling the
Munch: Kajiken, Angry Ramen (The Terrace) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Not worth it in value or taste, in short. As chain restaurants go, Kajiken is a cut above. The moment I stepped in the door, I was bombarded with greetings from left and right. If a mite enthusiastic, the staff were lovely. Inside, it was all pale pine panelling, paper screens, and renditions of Hokusai’s The Great Wave out of noodles, but tastefully done. Each table has a small pull-out drawer with chopsticks and cutlery, (incredible design) and there were pots of complimentary barley tea at th
Munch - Aunty Mena’s (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Homely and healthy, but keeping it budget is a struggle. Many of you will read today’s title and, being in your seventh month or umpteenth year of living in Wellington, ask, ‘he’s only just now discovered Aunty Mena’s?’ And to that I say a quiet ‘yeah…’ It’s been one of those places that I’ve heard a lot of other people’s good opinions about and I never got around to visiting to make my own. But there’s no time like the present, so, for all the ‘at some point’ people and those new to Wellington
Munch - Jugnu’s Duniya (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A nice idea for a very nice price, but overreaching. There’s a new kid on Cuba Street, who might make you double-take, and then double-take again. Just up from the Bucket Fountain, left of the red brick podium that hosts a weekly rotation of swing dance groups, high school buskers, and Falun Gong protesters, sits Jugnu’s Little India. Or what was his Little India and is now Jugnu’s Duniya (meaning ‘world’). Many will be familiar with the bright pink and orange storefront of the other Little Indi
