Exploring CHRISTCHURCH by foot and tram | South Island, New Zealand

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ม.ค. 2022
- This is the first vlog from our 7 part South Island series. We landed in Christchurch and wasted no time in getting some delicious food as well as touring around the city the next day via a heritage hop-on hop-off tram.
Our first meal was from a fantastic Cambodian restaurant that we came across the last time we were in Christchurch. Incredibly tasty food and friendly service, Khmer Angkor Restaurant is definitely a must-try in Christchurch. They're located in the EntX Christchurch Central building.
Khmer Angkor Restaurant
Address: 617 Colombo Street, Christchurch Central City, Christchurch 8011
www.khmerangkor.co.nz/
UPDATE 3 Feb 2022: Khmer Angkor have announced they'll be temporarily closing while they relocate within the EntX building. Keep a lookout on their Facebook for further updates / khmerangkor.co.nz
The Christchurch Tram is a unique and great way to explore the city. It's an all day hop-on, hop-off sightseeing experience with live onboard commentary from the knowledgeable drivers too. Kids get to ride free (up to 3 kids per adult) and for all the details about the tram and route, check out their website:
www.christchurchattractions.n...
and check out Klook to keep an eye for specials (NB: prices do change occasionally on Klook)

The second food stop on our Christchurch trip was a great little Indonesian food stall located inside Riverside Market. Lots of great options on their menu including vegetarian and vegan dishes too.
Indo Tempeh House
Address: 96 Oxford Terrace, Christchurch Central City, Christchurch 8011

You two should seriously have a tv show, such awesome content it's really addicting to watch 👍
Thanks KayBeee 💪this comment is gold 😁🏆
Best channel to exist
Thanks Adam ❤
Welcome back Peter and Yen, hoping for some awesome content in 2022.
Thank you! Good to be back 😁 here's to 2022 🥂🥳
Good to see you guys in my home town of Christchurch! It really is a lovely city. I love you guys eating, it's almost verging on mukbang ...
😂 there's so much good food in Christchurch so we ended up having to show two great spots. Do you have a favorite place to eat at in Christchurch still?
@@PeterandYen I haven't lived in Christchurch since 2007, so a lot of my favourite places are long gone. I did like Seoul Tiger at the Riverside Market when we were there in 2019 and Lone Star Restaurant originated in Chch on Manchester Street. There is the legendary Afghanistan Restaurant which has a really loyal following that opens sporadically.
Mmmmmm legendary Afghanistan restaurant sounds awesome 🤤🤤🤤 mission to find it begins!
@@PeterandYen yeah, they kind of open when the mood hits. I'm not sure if it's still going, but there was a Facebook group dedicated to letting punters know when it is open. 😋
Amazing this is a great video it makes me happy when I watch ur vids. Peter since you like giant eels so much you can go to this animal zoo thingy in christchurch and feed some eels
I commented on this video 5 secs after it was posted lol
😁 nice sounds like another spot in Christchurch I need to add to the bucket list
Nice video as always guys! ☺️ Welcome back
Thank you 😁✌
So cool to watch. Brings back great memories from my visit in Christchurch back in 2019. Loved the tram, and punting on Avon. I can recomend Costas Taverna Greek restaurant on Cranford St. Awesome food and service there. Thank you for sharing :)
Ooo the Greek food sounds yum we'll be back at Christchurch some point. Will try to make our way through as many eateries as possible 😂
I can watch Christchurch vlogs forever😁♥️
You're in luck cause we'll always keep coming back to Christchurch... the food is just too good 😂
Love Christchurch City, Much better then Auckland City.... 🌍🇳🇿🤟
Love watching your adventures, excited to see what Akaroa has on offer!
Thank you 😁✌ releases 11:30 tmrw
Wonderful video .Keep doing what you're doing. Be blessed!
Thank you ✌😊
can't wait to watch sll 7 videos!!!
😁 editing all week almost there ❤
Thanks guys, Riverside Market and Avon River will be definitely must visit when in Christchurch when your borders open, as always great vlog to go with my Sunday ☕️
Definitely have to visit both if you're going to Christchurch. 😁 hope you had a great Sunday ✌
Tks for the super cool video guys !! Helps a lot in the planning of my trip to Christchurch in March next year. Can't wait to go visit some of the places u had shown in your vid. Watching this at 5am in the morning and seeing you guys eating all the yummy food there is making me hungry already... LOL.
Hahaha thanks William! 😁✌️ Hope you got a good feed not long after! Also hope you'll enjoy your time in CHCH when you make it there next year. We've done a couple videos form Christchurch before so if you haven't seen them already, there might be a few other places to add to your travel bucket list. I think we've done 3 other CHCH related videos so far 😊
@@PeterandYen Tks guys, will def search for all the CHCH vids that you had made. Looking forward to that.
Oh wow almost a new video so cool and yeah glad that flight and pilot got you there safely! All that food looked so great and now I'm starving!
Hahaha Christchurch is home to some excellent south east Asian restaurants 🤤 new videos every Sunday at 11:30
@@PeterandYen Yeah looks like great choices for food! Peter, you're always hungry just like me when it comes to fine cuisine! Looking forward to new video on Sunday!
Super awesome! I live in Christchurch
The tram is a must for visitors we enjoyed it when we were down there too. As for riverside it sucked there was too many choices and I wanted to try everything. One of the best stops was the earthquake museum
Hahahaha totally agree way too many choices of food 😂 might check out the earthquake museum next time we're down there. Do you remember what you ended up eating?
@@PeterandYen roast pork belly sandwich and loaded fries from cluck cluck slurp, so good 😊
Mmmmmm sounds delicious 🤤🤤🤤
My beautiful city C-City... i finally get there this year woop wooop he he... much love to You Both 💚💚💚
Yo Liv happy 2022 hope you're having a good one so far 😁 yes! Let's hope that borders go back to normal this year 🤞
@@PeterandYen he he heya Bro & Sis am doin well tenks... n yessss bring on 2022!🥊💚🤸 #longliverolypolypetehaha
Looks like you'd a great start to your tour guys!
That food looks amazing! 🍜🍛
I've eaten in the Riverside Market before, but I really want to try that Cambodian place now too!
Looking forward to next week's video already 😊
Hello hello Rob 👋 do you remember what you ate at the riverside Market? Always curious about food tales 🤤
After almost a week of editing making some progress 😂 getting there slowly
The trams are super cute, I love the wooden interiors and it's amazing how it goes through that little shopping mall 🥰
😁 yeah they're such a nice addition to the city glad they kept them running all these years
Good video guys, the tram ride looks very interesting and the Cambodian food looks delicious. 👍
Cambodian food was awesome 👌 went there before we came back too 😁
So glad you highlighted Indo Tempeh. It's the most authentic Beef Rendang as I've found, and always reminds me of my Mum and her cooking
😁💪 thank you for the confirmation of the authenticity of the flavors 🤤
So much to do in Christchurch……you need more time! 😜 Great to see the home town feature on the channel. Great vid as always 🤙
Hahaha too true. However since we usually make Christchurch our first stop every time we visit the south island need to save something for future vlogs 😁
be happy💚
Love Christchurch 😍🥰💖
💯❤🇳🇿
I enjoyed watching your reactions on the food you were eating!!
Thanks for sharing this video! Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Thank you for watching from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 😁👍 would love to visit your country one day too ❤
Awesome vlog, guys! I loved living in Christchurch and have been missing it. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching have an awesome week ahead 😁🤙
@@PeterandYen Cheers guys! You's too! 😄
Good video as usual. We landed there in 2011 but had to leave Christchurch because of the earthquake but went back in 2018. Well done for all the repairs and new things. We would love to see it again now. We will definitely go when restrictions are lifted. In the meanwhile we enjoy watching all your travels.
The city is really coming along nicely these last few years. I've (Peter) been visiting every couple of years since the earthquake and the progress has been huge over time. Glad you're enjoying the videos thank you for watching 😁👍
Hi guys I’m looking forward to your great STH Island videos.
😁✌ thanks! Been busy editing them all this week
Thank you for posting. Another excellent tourism video for NZ.
I would love to get to those Riverside Markets. The food looks too good.
Also, would definitely take the tram and do a few loops for all the CHC sites.
Very interesting to see the eels in the Avon. Didn’t realize there were so many eels in the South. Surprised the swans 🦢 let them have some food as they can be pretty vicious 😳
Glad you two, got there and back, safely.
JetStar whips their planes back n forth ✈️ 😋
😁 I think New Zealand swans are pretty chill never had a bad encounter with them before but seen all the videos of swans bullying ppl on TH-cam before 😂
nice vlog of Chch guys. will try out your recommendations for the food! 👍🏼
💯 let us know what you think too once you try it 😉
Beautiful Christchurch 😍
💯❤
Buenísimo
I really like the satisfying looks of Peter when every time he eat something delicious ... 😋😋😋😋 haha
I’m waiting to see the reaction when he dislikes something! 😆😜
Hahaha been some great eating this trip so CK you'll be happy n Chris... might need to wait a lil longer 😂
That Cambodian noodles look so hearty and delish! 😍😍
Peter’s reaction is everything haha.
That retro tram is so similar like the ones in Melbourne too. So iconic! 👍🏻
Aww the eel is so slimy haha 😂
😂 the eel was awesome... love things like that. They really make the trip for me
Can never go wrong with beef rendang, it looks absolutely delicious 😋
💯🤤
The tram reminds us of Melbourne a lot! I love the vintage tram, it just hits different🥰 so sad Sydney doesn't have the old tram anymore.
Yeah they definitely add to the charm of a city 👍
Great vid love the sites 🙏
Thanks Dwain hope you're having an awesome weekend 🤙
@@PeterandYen hope you all have one also😊😊😊
YES INDONESIAN FOOD 🇮🇩😁 Great Choice guys!! Yes that's jackfruit :) we love tempe too. Omg winner food here hahaa
Hahahaha need to go to Indonesia for food 🤤
Yessssssssss..... Double food vlog!!! I can smell the noodle soup through the camera...and it made me huuuuungry!!! Both places looked super yummmmm 🤤🤤🤤 The faceless kid on the tram freaked me out for a sec🤣🤣🤣 The flying kid at the end whizzing past Yen as she walked...🤣🤣🤣 Congrats on the eel sighting and touching!! Great vid as always and looking forward to next week!!
Yo dude hope you're staying strong 💪 hahahaha yes double food vlog Christchurch city has become our favorite place to eat in the south island.. so many good choices n the south east Asian food especially is the bomb. 😂 I did think the kid on the flying fox was such perfect timing for yen's walk.
@@PeterandYen Over the last few years SE Asian food has become my tops... easily
Mmmmmhmmmmm agree 💯
wow...Christchurch is so beautiful now compared to years ago when we were there... definately a must to go visit again.😍😍
One of the best for sure. And most definitely the best place to land in the south island.
After the earthquakes a lot has changed here! There's a lot more things to do in town now
nice tour of Christchurch guys
*FULL WATCH👀Au👀thumbs up👍*
Thanks Billy ✌
Indonesian food 🇮🇩 yay!
Yellow rice with beef rendang!! That’s great choice 👍🏻👍🏻
We just had that combo too for lunch last weekend haha, can’t never go wrong 😍
Pandan rice sounds awesome too, Yen! 🤤
Mmmmm so good wish there was something like this close to our home in Auckland 😂
I want to be near the sea soon! Otherwise, I am going to go nuts! Good thing we have your videos to enjoy some of those wonderful blue waters
Awesome noodles soups! We wish we could smell it too hahaha
Love train journeys like that one, we have one here in Serbia that we didn't get to take but hopefully, we do soon!
Yay! Two meals on this video...drooling now
The houses are so beautiful and colorful. 😍😍
Hope you get to be near the sea again soon! You guys gotta come nz one day.. you're never far from a beautiful beach, a stunning lake or even gorgeous ocean views! 😊🌊
good video mate
🌿✌😁
woweeeee your back. so nice to see you both again another beaming smile on my face at another fantastic vlog. and as i have personaly told you both before but just like kaybee below ,you realy should think about a t.v. show . here in the uk we seem to be getting back to normal as this omigron varient is so mild ,just like having a bad cold ,so i do hope that your government soon see sense and start to live with this the same as we are and start to open up her borders, as i am itching to get back there as you know , mind you i have booked a small vacation to Crete in Greece in may, just got to get away, and your vlogs just keep telling me i gotta see the south island and try some of that yummy food again. nice to see that you are both ok . and looking well too , take care and i am looking forward to the next one ,
Hello Barry 👋 hope you've had a great holiday period. We've had a blast catching up with friends and family again now that lockdowns have eased a little. It would be nice to be able to travel again without the worry of not being able to come back to New Zealand... hopefully we are able to deal with omicron here swiftly so that can eventually happen. Then finally you'll be able to come and holiday here again 😁 you'll definitely need to go south island next time 👍
I left in December 2018. It's certainly grown a lot since I was there.
Christchurch is looking pretty dapper these days 👌
So I just got my 2nd jab and ended up with a loss of appetite up until you guys went into that 2nd restaurant! The area looked beautiful and so did the food, glad to see you guys are back to weekly uploads!
What a coincidence! I just got my booster this week and my appetite hasn't been the same either. Christchurch is awesome especially for the food, lots of Asian choices too 🤤
@@PeterandYen Wow that's nuts, I'm also surprised to hear that there's so many Asian choices in Christchurch, it also looked like it was a bit cooler there than in Auckland, was it?
It is south island in general is cooler than north island. I find Christchurch is particularly chilly cause of the cool breeze ❄
@@PeterandYen Ahh okay cool good to know, it's currently 35 degrees Fahrenheit here in Florida.
Waaa I thought Florida was hot all year round? 35 degrees farenheight is freezing 🥶
We were here twice each time either we stay a night or two nights. The Riverside market looks lovely, replacing the container shops. Would love the try the tram.😘
😁👍 the tram was awesome definitely the best way to explore the city
thank you for the kind words about my home town , you should take a walk along sumner and brighton beaches and a trip up and over the port hills you will love it .❤👍
Thanks for the recommendations! We'll most likely make a video from the port hills next time we're over in Christchurch. Do you have any favorite spots up there?
@@PeterandYen sure do , the chrirstchurch botanical gardens rose garden , a favourite of my mum's places to visit , take a picnic and a nice bottle of wine and just enjoy the beauty of the blooms , even for a guy it's a pretty amazing spot and I'm sure your lovely lady will appreciate the romantic gesture , you nerve know , you might even get lucky , lol , so please enjoy our beautiful city fokes.
😂👍 thanks for the suggestions
I used to work at the hoyts in the Entx building! All the eateries downstairs are amazing! Definitely recommend the vietnamese place and the Turkish place
Ooo thanks for the recommendation... the vietnamese place has been calling to me for a while now 😂
We never try cambodian noodles😭 but oh my goodness that looks so good!! It looks like laksa 🤩
🤤 o my gosh these noodles are incredible... giving me hunger pains just thinking about it
Christchurch is definitely a favourite place ive visited. I did wonder if those containers were staying but to see its been relocated to a new premises 😀
Chch is great! Yea those containers were around for many years but great to see they have totally remodelled and brought in a permanent solution for the area 🙂👍
Thank you!
So many new things for my eyes. The new buildings, the playground. Wow! (I personally knew Margaret.) And the earthquake memorial, of course, New new new!
You mentioned the container-market. I had been there, the once. Before that a big old 'pub' occupied much of that site. I only went in once - for a poetry show. I took turns on stage with none other than Keri Hulme - another of NZ's most famous writers.
But one place is exactly the same, the Antigua Boat-sheds. Oh the fun I had there as a kid!! (It's "An-tig-you-uh" Slight emphasis on the 'tig'.)
Thanks for the pronunciation tip and for watching the video. Glad you enjoyed it and must have been cool knowing Margaret 😊👍 taking turns on stage with Keri Hulme sounds like an amazing time!
@@PeterandYen Everything about Christchurch brings up memories.
Love yr work! Having fun & getting paid!
welcome to chch guys :)
Thank you ✌
That bowl of cambodian noodles really reminds me of prawn noodle soup in malaysia
Ha mee mmmmmmm 🤤
Oh cool ash’s home town
😂 Ash very much seems like a Canterbury bloke (that's a compliment)
My hometown.... i miss Christchurch so much 🤍🤍
Hope the video brought back some happy memories ❤
Hey Peter, love the videos you guys make. It really comes in handy when I'm planning my own trips. :) Had a quick question. At (3:50) you mentioned a website from which you bought tickets for your tram ride (sounded like CLUE). Could you please share info on that?
Hello the site is called Klook but do note the prices change constantly depending on the season you're traveling in. Cheers ✌
We have never actually explore Christchurch before because each time we came Christchurch was always under construction. It's a must for us to explore next time then. You guys always eat good food lol
It's come a long way now. Looking really put together now. Time for a visit maybe 🤔😉
@@PeterandYen my husband said we can go 2 weeks in 2023. I bargain for 4 weeks, he said no and I said I meet him half way, 3 weeks. He said no 😭
😂😂😂 hard bargainer
@@PeterandYen tell me about it 😭
🤭
wish i could live there..
this is so interesting to see as I live in chch lol
😁👍
We're planning to move to Christchurch in couple months we've been there in 2013, it was a little sad as there was a lot to rebuild that time, what do you think Christchurch would be a good choice to live now? Thanks
@@Marc-NZ I think it would depend on where you're planning to move in Chch (like what suburbs)! I think Chch would be fun to live in if you find yourself a good community where people don't judge you, as I have found many people here are quite judgemental, but there are also some amazing people here, it just depends where you choose to live and the people you are around. Chch has beautiful scenery and some good attractions as well since 2013 so that would be fun for you guys to explore the new builds around Chch! I don't really recommend living in the city as sometimes there are lots of protests about political things and some people can be quite nasty. But if you need to live in the city, just make sure to find a safe place to live! All and all Christchurch can either be an amazing place to live or not a great place to live, if you find good people, you'll have a good time here - I hope that made sense it was a bit jumbled but I think I've said everything and I hope you guys enjoy living here if you choose to move to Chch! :)
a place close to my heart. haven’t been back for four years. my mum says the cambodian restaurant is as good as you suggest but, iirc, a little pricey.
Found the price to be fairly reasonable compared to many places around New Zealand 😁👍 plus you're getting the quality too
I saw Indo tempeh in other Indonesian youtuber video before when they visited this market, and hope to see it in this video. Didnt expect you would choose Indo tempeh for your meal. But i thought they do vegan meal.
Did they enjoy it too? 🙂 They have vegan, vegetarian but also meat option too. Something for everyone 👍
it is nice to make videos like this but it is almost impossible to get there. I am from Slovakia, New Zealand is mine and my wife's life dream. We have three kids and simply we cannot afford it howevere I have good telco proffesion. The assurances, financial stronghold and visa process to New Zealand is not possible to fulfil. It is nice to hear that New Zealand is great country to raise a family but probably for richer people only. Anyway I like your videos and still will watch them as it is the only way we can visit the country 😊
We hope you can maybe at least one day come visit NZ 🤞 NZ is an expensive place to live and a difficult one to migrate to, but regardless we still wish your dream can come true one day! 🍀🍀🍀 Glad you can enjoy our videos in the mean time 🙂🙏
Yay! this is perfect considering we are making our way down in April. Does the tram ticket mean you can get on and off all day? That kai looked devvvvvvvine!
Yo Leah, yup you can hop on and off all day once you purchase the ticket. They have some combos too if you want to do the punting or gondola.
@@PeterandYen awesome thanks for that!
Are you guys heading back to Queenstown? We’re down here now for a bit.
Hello, not this trip 😁
Really like your videos. I am planning to move to Christchurch in February 2023. I am vegetarian. Are there veg options available in the restaurants in Riverside market or nearby markets in Christchurch?
Just seen this excellent video. Am going to Christchurch in two weeks for the first time. But something puzzles me - you two are a,ways eating and big meals too. How do you stay so thin?!
Hahaha a lot of walking and regular exercise so we can fully enjoy our meals 😂👍 hope you have a wonderful time in Christchurch! It's a lovely city 😊
Almost three times a week grabbing lunch from Riverside Market, I haven’t tried what you had over there, lol…
Hahahaha maybe one to add to your places to eat at?
Guys ! You gotta tell me how you got onto your opening music by Dusty Decks ? I only heard it a month ago and it's been stuck inside my feeble brain since,and I give it a listen a few times a week - what a groove.
Yo Rob, we get all our music through epidemic sound. That site makes it easy for us to use the music here on TH-cam. Dusty Decks tracks are awesome 👌
@@PeterandYen I had a feeling that may have been the case...I've been subbed to Epidemic Sounds for a while now,and the music never ceases to amaze,also can't disagree about Dusty Decks - top quality that needs to be heard.
I think we must have very similar music tastes Rob 🤔😁
@@PeterandYen the possibility is quite high,haha
BTW Happy Chinese New Year for Tuesday, guys!
Thank you! Happy Chinese new year to you too 🔥🥳
We will definitely visit the food market. You mentioned that you got discounted tickets for the tram. Please could you share the company you used
Hiya 👋 details and links are all in the video description section 🙂
Thank you@@PeterandYen I am new to using TH-cam and now that you have told me I can clearly see all the information. We are travelling to Singapore & N Zealand in February for 5 weeks and we have loved watching all your videos. Thank you so much for all the information you have provided. Where ever we travel in the world from now on I will check to see if you have travelled there also. Diane (UK)
No worries at all Diane and glad our videos can come in handy 😁 hope you have a wonderful holiday in both Singapore and NZ!
Come have a brew at coffee embassy on Fitzgerald Ave
Unfortunately no longer in Christchurch maybe next time we're down there 🤙
I was too little to understand when I went to christchurch and now I regret being so dumb back then
That's all good just another chance to go back and visit
Nice video! For some reason the term "bucket list item" sounds so sad...but it is also very popular to say. What's wrong with "my top experiences" list or something more positive?
Hi♥️♥️❤❤
Hello 👋
What's that kid in 11:26 doing called?
It’s a flying fox……although the kid riding it is swinging side to side which you ain’t supposed to do 😜
@@chriskeentechnician lol thanks!
💯💉-3 Intuitive intuition surpasses intelligence.💪
Those two noodles for $38? I'll be damned
Two noodles and the satay sticks... price is pretty reasonable for New Zealand
Satay isnt cambodian though 😐
chch sux yet!
