Bao Chicken Bao Bao

Published by

This post was made possible thanks to the Best Burger Truck which is trucking through the North Island giving away Beef & Cheese Sliders and Thai Chicken Sliders made with Best Foods Mayo. I have been enjoying Best Foods Mayo since I was a teenager because it is the creamiest, tastiest mayo. I distinctly remember me and my friends being obsessed with this mayo in high school and I have bought it ever since. One thing I was pleased to learn is Best Foods use 100% cage-free eggs in all their products. Winning! The Best Burger Truck recipes have been created by brand ambassador Jo Wilcox, who has worn many different hats including Chef, Food Editor and Food Stylist. To tuck into on these complimentary sliders, simply turn up at the locations in Auckland, Hamilton and Wellington listed below. If you can’t make it to one of these events, make your own sliders at home by following the 5 recipes found here. Best Burger Truck will be in… Auckland Friday 28 April, 5pm-8pm at Basement …

Street Eats 2016 – Eats

Published by

Some of the most delicious things happen by pure chance. On Saturday morning, while eating a whitebait fritter on slice of bread, AND a bag of crunchy deep fried chicken skins (both uncommon in my life), I realised I could combine the two. The result was better than either food on its own. Soft, fish, lemon, crunch, salt, chicken-y. It was so good. I should start my own stall. Ha. My friend and I set upon Street Eats at Shed 10 on Auckland’s Queens Wharf ready to eat and ready to be wowed. This year, Street Eats spanned two levels of Shed 10 giving more room for visitors to move about and there was plenty of seating available. A family friendly affair, there was plenty of activities to keep kids occupied which is great even if you don’t have kids…If you know what I mean. We ate, we drank, we enjoyed atmosphere as guests of AirAsia. We arrived early at 10.30am and didn’t come across any queues, though we did hustle through to avoid crowds. I …

Tasty questions with Jamie and Debbie, Judge Bao

Published by

Judge Bao is a regular at The Street Collective in Ponsonby. Judge Bao offers a modern twist to traditional Chinese convenience food. With just a few options you can be confident each item on their compact menu is perfectly executed with meat and vege options. Using only free range meat and local produce, their buns are hand rolled and steamed. Each bao is assembled to order. I think I’ve eaten their food about 4 times in the last little while. Jamie and Debbie are the cute couple behind Judge Bao and below are their answers to the tasty questions I cooked up for your enjoyment.   Describe your food: Local, ethical, and modern Chinese. What is your signature dish? ”The Sloppy Po” bao. It’s our take on Mapo Tofu – spicy, sweet and savory. It’s super umami! Name your favourite comfort food: Chicken and salted fish fried rice for Jamie. For Debbie it’s a slice of The Pie Piper’s Rocky Road Pie and Sweet Val’s Ice Cream’s nitrogen vanilla ice cream with salted caramel sauce and home baked choc chip cookies! What …
