Holy smokes the video quality was amazing! Food looked so good. Showcasing some of the best food New Zealand has to offer at the hotel is such a great idea. Make sure the visitors get a good impression:)
😍😍😍 thanks so much Grace! That’s such a lovely thing to say 🤗 So happy you enjoyed this one. Totally agree- it makes so much sense to showcase the best of NZ food to visitors the moment they arrive. Hope you’re having a lovely weekend! Cheers, Sheena
Absolutely loving your Auckland food series! Very homesick for Kiwi tucker, love that you're showing the foodies of the world the variety and quality of the food to be found in NZ - is always top notch, whether it's street food or fine dining. Thanks!

I'm not a vegetarian but East is one of the best restaurants I've ever seen for Vegan/Vegetarians food looked spectacular! - Really want to try that. 🙂
I know right?! The menu was pretty extensive and covered so many South East Asian classics- we were so impressed! Hope you can make it there for a meal! Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Honestly the food scene here is next level- we’re so spoilt. So glad we can share our city with you Kellie! Thanks for watching this one- hope your week is going fab 💕 Cheers, Sheena

😍😍😍 so happy that you’ve got some new spots to add to your list C.V! We’re so lucky to live in such an epic food city. Thanks for watching and for your kind words. Hope you like what we have coming up on the channel! Cheers, Sheena
Sheena you are always so awesome on the videos. The videography is so professional and nice to see Thomas back in the videos as well. I follow a few food TH-camrs and do enjoy as well, but you and Thomas do such a great job educating and describing the dishes. Makes me hungry in Halifax Nova Scotia.

Thanks so much for watching bhutstar and so happy we can give you a sneak peek into some of the food at restaurants we share on here! Hope you love these spots just as much as we do- awesome food and talented chefs. Hope you enjoy Part 2 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Hi guys omg more restaurants to visit. What a well filmed vid showing such delicious well presented food. Just the food commentary alone allows your taste buds to run wild. We have dined at many eateries from yr channel and never disappointed. Tks for the introduction to these places we would never have otherwise visited.
Hi Denise, haha more to add to your list! Thanks so much for watching and we're so happy you've discovered some new eateries from our channel. All of these spots were fantastic and we loved seeing the passion of the chefs creating the food. Hope you love them just as much as we do when you get there for a visit! Cheers, Sheena
Hi Annie 😍😍😍 Where did you see us?! Definitely come up and say hi next time- would love to meet you 😄 Thanks for watching this one- hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
Thanks so much for your kind words Malcolm! Yes! Definitely pop kingi on your list- it feels great as a diner to support a restaurant that has such a clear purpose. Hope you’re having a brilliant weekend. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
Aww thank you Mele 😍 So happy you’re loving the content- we’re having a blast showcasing the food culture of Aotearoa. Hope you like what we have coming up mate 💕 Have a great day. Cheers, Sheena
My mouth is watering 🤤🤤 All those restaurants look amazing and the quality of food outstanding!! Adding them to my list when I’m home in NZ next 😍 Love the respect for Tangaroa
🙌🙌🙌 awesome Fonteyn Henry! I reckon the food scene here in Aotearoa is world class- there are so many talented chefs and our raw ingredients are next level- we’re so lucky. Hope you get back here soon for a feed! Thanks for watching mate. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Totally agree with You Sheena! Doesn’t matter where one lives or visits in the world the comparison with kai is always to home and the taste just isn’t quite the same. Would love to share your Chanel on my Kiwi Foodies Facebook page if that’s possible?
😍😍😍 Get over here Mila! Thanks for watching this one- so neat for us to be able to share the awesome food culture in our home town with you all. Cheers, Sheena
Loving your work guys! Looking forward to getting back this summer and going foodie crazy, trying out all your suggestions. Enjoy your honesty on the food and eateries. TV is missing a trick with these guys!
Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words Wayno! Woo hoo- you’re in for a treat this summer when you head back 😍 Hope you like what we have coming up on the channel mate. Cheers, Sheena
😆 Pete, this is literally on my list of things to do- it’s definitely coming! And we’d love for you to share our videos with your friends 😍 Thank you so much for watching and for your support! Cheers, Sheena
Thanks so much for watching fizzguts 😍 So stoked to be able to share these 3 spots- they’re doing such awesome things for the food scene here in Auckland. Hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
Hi Karl, thanks for watching! Omg yes- you must get there! We were seriously impressed- loved our meal. Hope you’re having a great weekend 😍 Cheers, Sheena
Love your video's and food reviews! My 14yr old son is a foodie and has a passion for cooking, so we've started a food tour of all the places you showed on your Dominion Rd series. So far we've ticked two places off the list and absolutely loved the food!
Hi Amy! That is so brilliant 😍 It makes us so happy to hear that! Dominion Rd is such a hub of great food eh- what a perfect place to start a food tour! Thanks so much for watching and a huge hi to your son from us too! Cheers, Sheena 💕
Aww you’re the sweetest! Thanks so much Jo! Oh gosh, that Peking duck was next level- utterly delicious. Thanks for watching and happy weekend! Cheers, Sheena
You weren't kidding that the hotel restaurants aren't like typical ones! They all looked fabulous, but East blew me away. Vegetarian options around here tend to be...boring. As I've mentioned before, Indian food is not an option in my rural area, but neither is Thai nor Vietnamese. Spectacular video! Can't wait for part 2.
😍 thanks for watching MsKestrela! So impressive right?! There was so much to choose from on the East menu- there were so many dishes we didn’t get to try (although I think we did pretty well 😂). Can’t wait to share part 2 with you guys! Happy weekend 💕 Cheers, Sheena
That’s so cool Catherine! We love what Chef Harmeet and his team are doing at East- it was a lot of fun to film with them. Thanks for watching this one- hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
That all looks fabulous, I’m so jealous! Glad you’re over Covid, Sheena. I had it too but my partner didn’t provide the standard of sick room catering tha Thomas did😒. Great to see you guys back in action!
😆😆😆 I was very spoilt eh Josephine? Thanks so much for watching this one- it was such fun to film- awesome food and talented chefs! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Cheers, Sheena
Thanks for this video Sheena and Thomas! We've been watching all your AKL videos in anticipation for our next trip up from Nelson. I was curious to know if you manage to eat all that food, especially that spread at East. If not, what happens with what's left?
Hi MrRoach51, thanks so much for watching mate! And so stoked our videos can help with your eating itinerary next time you’re up 😍 We usually demolish as much as possible at the time of filming and if we can’t finish it we take it home 😄 We hate waste so the leftovers always get eaten! Hope you like what we have coming up on the channel- have a great Sunday 👊 Cheers, Sheena
We did pretty well eh Donna?! 😂 Loved getting to share these restaurants and their amazing work on here with you all. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Couldn’t agree more Andrew! We’re committed carnivores too and definitely felt more than satisfied after our meal at East! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy Part 2 😄 Cheers, Sheena
My mouth is watering! What a great profile of some amazing looking food. And speaking of amazing looking, is one required to be model gorgeous to work at kingi? I mean, good Lord. 😜 Thanks for the wonderful profiles. 🙌😘
🤣🤣🤣 IKR?! I felt positively dowdy next to those two 😂 So glad you enjoyed this one Michael! It was a real pleasure to film at these spots. Thanks for watching mate- you’re the best! Hope you’re having a fab weekend 💕 Cheers, Sheena
So happy you enjoyed this one Deanna! Oh gosh Covid is miserable! 😫 Hope you’ve been well and taking care of yourself. Big love to you in Texas! Cheers, Sheena
Those seafood dishes have good presentation as well aside from the cooking. Peking duck is my ideal dinner & all those dim sum are my ideal lunch. And the East Asian & Southeast Asian cuisine prepared by an Indian chef.
You would have loved our Peking Duck and dim sum meal then! We are really spoilt in Auckland to have such a vibrant food scene. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
😝 He’s so handsome! And he is so kind- it was an honour to film with him- such a lovely person who is super passionate about what he does. Thanks for watching mate! Hope you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena
It’s on our list- we are SO desperate to get there 😍 Let us know what the just eats are! Thanks for watching this one, hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
Hi Sheena and Thomas. Your channel rocks my friends. You are both legends imho and your food knowledge is exceptional and outstanding 😁. Thank God New Zealand is opening up to us tourists😂. Sheena do you and Thomas still offer us tourists a food tour type guide around Auckland? It is my dream to save up enough money , especially after COVID, to come to your fabulous country and actually meet you and Thomas albeit it briefly. You are both excellent presenters and amazingly good at what you do so effortlessly 😉. I hope desperately that I come to see you guys and share 1 evening with you. The wine bill is me my dearest friends. Keep doing what you do. Much success to you both and the channel will rocket I pray 😁. God bless you both 🙏
Hi Andrew! What a beautiful message, thank you for watching and for taking the time to write 😍 We are so thrilled to be able to share our homeland with you- it’s quite special getting to showcase what we love most about the food scene here. It’s SO exciting that NZ has now opened back up to visitors!! We have thought about doing food tours- never say never! Would be awesome to share a meal with you one day Andrew 😍 Thanks for watching and hope you like what we have coming up on the channel. Have a great week mate! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Thank you Sheena for your awesome reply 😃😃😃. I love your channel 😍. It's a must do everytime I see an new update. You are both exceptional professionals of the highest order 😉. Time to save up those pennies and book a flight sooner rather than later hahaha 🤣. I really want to try new Zealand fish n chups hahaha 🤣. I hear the Flounder is exceptional. We are having a bit of a crisis here with our fish n chips shops. Shortage of oil because of Ukraine war threatens almost 300 businesses up and down the UK 😭. Nightmare 😭. Let's hope the war ends soon for the sake of humanity 😭. Can't believe in 2022 we are still doing these crazy things 😒. Hey ho another day eh .😅. Take care of eachother. God bless. 🤩🤩🤩
Sorry we missed your reply Andrew. The flounder IS exceptional! Bet you would love it. The Ukraine war is a nightmare- what a hideous thing to be happening in 2022- we totally agree with you. Yes- save those pennies and get over here soon Andrew- Aotearoa awaits you with open arms! Cheers, Sheena
Sheena my dear, You have been locked up in Aotoaroa for a tad too long. I'm afraid your accent is getting a little too thick for an international audience to easily grasp. A light accent from anywhere is not just welcome but something to be celebrated. However, there is a point where it becomes a barrier to communication. I hope to catch you on the road soon. I did Singapore in February and, while there were challenges, it was sort of fun being the only tourist in town. Yours in gluttony Dr Mark
Hi Dr Mark, 😂 luckily we have closed captions then 😜 Your trip to Singapore must have been wonderful. We’re looking forward to our group trip to Thailand in October. Bring on the balmy heat and street food. Thanks for watching Mark. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate ooooh, I've never heard that before! Thanks for explaining, and yes, I watch all of your videos...love love love them! Our son lives in Melbourne, so have shared with him 🙏
We’ll definitely be there in October as we’re hosting a group trip in Thailand 😍 Thanks for watching ToucanMan, hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
I sorry I almost missed this 😭😞😭😞😭 Ahh your video quality is far too good it makes me so HUNGRY!!!!! AND JEALOUS AS ALWAYS!!!!😥😡😥😡😥😡😥😡 You don't get that here in the States at least not where I live. Some of the best bits are the parts people through away. Somebody at the Magnolia channel should pick up your channel.
Totally agree that some of the best parts of the animal are often discarded! Love that kingi are changing the narrative when it comes to the parts of the fish that is served to diners. Needs to happen more in my opinion! So happy you enjoyed this video mate, thanks so much for watching and for your generous words. Cheers, Sheena

Hi Sheena and Thomas. Your channel rocks my friends. You are both legends imho and your food knowledge is exceptional and outstanding 😁. Thank God New Zealand is opening up to us tourists😂. Sheena do you and Thomas still offer us tourists a food tour type guide around Auckland? It is my dream to save up enough money , especially after COVID, to come to your fabulous country and actually meet you and Thomas albeit it briefly. You are both excellent presenters and amazingly good at what you do so effortlessly 😉. I hope desperately that I come to see you guys and share 1 evening with you. The wine bill is me my dearest friends. Keep doing what you do. Much success to you both and the channel will rocket I pray 😁. God bless you both 🙏
Hi Andrew! What a beautiful message, thank you for watching and for taking the time to write 😍 We are so thrilled to be able to share our homeland with you- it’s quite special getting to showcase what we love most about the food scene here. It’s SO exciting that NZ has now opened back up to visitors!! We have thought about doing food tours- never say never! Would be awesome to share a meal with you one day Andrew 😍 Thanks for watching and hope you like what we have coming up on the channel. Have a great week mate! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Thank you Sheena for your awesome reply 😃😃😃. I love your channel 😍. It's a must do everytime I see an new update. You are both exceptional professionals of the highest order 😉. Time to save up those pennies and book a flight sooner rather than later hahaha 🤣. I really want to try new Zealand fish n chups hahaha 🤣. I hear the Flounder is exceptional. We are having a bit of a crisis here with our fish n chips shops. Shortage of oil because of Ukraine war threatens almost 300 businesses up and down the UK 😭. Nightmare 😭. Let's hope the war ends soon for the sake of humanity 😭. Can't believe in 2022 we are still doing these crazy things 😒. Hey ho another day eh .😅. Take care of eachother. God bless. 🤩🤩🤩
Sorry we missed your reply Andrew. The flounder IS exceptional! Bet you would love it. The Ukraine war is a nightmare- what a hideous thing to be happening in 2022- we totally agree with you. Yes- save those pennies and get over here soon Andrew- Aotearoa awaits you with open arms! Cheers, Sheena

Thanks so much for watching mate! The hotel dining scene here has ramped up 😍 Cheers, Sheena
Sheena my dear,
You have been locked up in Aotoaroa for a tad too long. I'm afraid your accent is getting a little too thick for an international audience to easily grasp. A light accent from anywhere is not just welcome but something to be celebrated. However, there is a point where it becomes a barrier to communication.
I hope to catch you on the road soon. I did Singapore in February and, while there were challenges, it was sort of fun being the only tourist in town.
Yours in gluttony

Hi Dr Mark, 😂 luckily we have closed captions then 😜 Your trip to Singapore must have been wonderful. We’re looking forward to our group trip to Thailand in October. Bring on the balmy heat and street food. Thanks for watching Mark. Cheers, Sheena
"Dem sum"? Did you mean Dim sum?
I’m pronouncing it in Cantonese 😄 but yes, when anglicised it’s “dim sum”. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate ooooh, I've never heard that before! Thanks for explaining, and yes, I watch all of your videos...love love love them! Our son lives in Melbourne, so have shared with him 🙏
@@fionamclean1312 so happy you’re enjoying our content 😍🤗 thanks for watching and sharing Fiona!
@@ChasingaPlate forgot to mention, I'm also a kiwi!
The world is opening up. Get on a flight back to SE ASIA quick.
We’ll definitely be there in October as we’re hosting a group trip in Thailand 😍 Thanks for watching ToucanMan, hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
I sorry I almost missed this 😭😞😭😞😭 Ahh your video quality is far too good it makes me so HUNGRY!!!!! AND JEALOUS AS ALWAYS!!!!😥😡😥😡😥😡😥😡 You don't get that here in the States at least not where I live. Some of the best bits are the parts people through away. Somebody at the Magnolia channel should pick up your channel.
Totally agree that some of the best parts of the animal are often discarded! Love that kingi are changing the narrative when it comes to the parts of the fish that is served to diners. Needs to happen more in my opinion! So happy you enjoyed this video mate, thanks so much for watching and for your generous words. Cheers, Sheena
