Dynasty BBQ Noodle House (New Lynn).
Signature Hainanese Chicken on Rice ($16). Comes with chicken & beansprouts, chicken rice, chilli sauce & ginger & spring onion sauce.
Curry Chicken Noodle Laksa ($17)
They have a Malaysian chef & these are superb. Be warned though the laksa chicken is poached then added on top, not cooked in the laksa, but it's done well & delicious.

AOI (Modern Japanese. Wynyard Quarter).
Agedashi tofu: tofu, bonito flakes, spring onion, nori, chilli
Beef tataki: beef, ponzu, garlic, onion, spring onion, sesame oil, microgreen
Karaage chicken: chicken, lemon, white radish, mayonnaise

The Agedashi tofu & Beef tataki were superb. The chicken was crispy & tender but I thought it needed more seasoning. Service was friendly but not terribly polished. I'd happily eat the tofu & beef again.

Tried the Chicken Rice Bowl with salted egg yolk sauce ($18.90) from Ho Ciak (Albert St., CBD) & got for takeaways the Fried Noodles (Mee Goreng) with chicken ($19.90) & the side of eggplant sambal ($12). It's all delicious but the eggplant was the clear winner for me. #AucklandEats #kai #food 🍜🍽️

Seafood Paradise 2020 (yumcha at Wynyard Quarter). Wonton (prawn) soup 8 pcs ($17), Pork ribs ($10.90), Prawn Steam rice roll with shrimp ($11), Green tea pancakes ($9.90). Food is made to order so slower compared to trolley service, but it's my new favourite yumcha spot. My favourite were the greentea pancakes which were filled with a mix of sesame seed, crushed peanut & sugar. #AucklandEats #kai #food 🍜🍽️

Dynasty BBQ Noodle House (New Lynn). Tried the Peking Half-Duck 1 course ($38). Crispy Fried Pork Intestine ($28), Seasonal greens in Vegetarian Oyster Sauce ($16). The duck was decent but not Peking duck which should have crispy skin, this was Cantonese roast duck. The pork intestine was excellent, the greens were a touch salty (would have been fine if had with rice). It's good enough that I'd go back. #AucklandEats #kai #food 🍜🍽️

Bravo at Cracker Bay (yes really). The menu makes me think of a gastro pub. I had a couple of small plates, the prawn cocktail & the fried chicken. The food was good (not spectacular) but it was the location & service that made the experience even more enjoyable. Would return. #AucklandEats #kai #food 🍜🍽️

Plasma donation & lunch.
Did my bit by donating plasma yesterday. After that I rewarded myself with a delicious lunch at Jinweide (Lincoln Road) with their Braised beef noodle with soup ($17.99) & Spicy tripe ($9.99)

My only quibble: the claypot beef was delicious but the rice was greasier than I like. If you like marrow, definitely order it: it was terrific!
