This is Auckland's newest Milk Tea cafe - with a twist. From the street, you see waitresses dressed as French Maids. Step in and get greated in Japanese. But the food & drink are distinctly Taiwanese snackish. In has not officially opened, but you can dine in the 'modern' downstairs area whilst apparently the 'soft, romantic' upstairs is still under renovation. They supply predominantly Chinese card games and encourage people to hang around longer - that's pretty cool. From the Takoyaki Balls to the Milk Tea, Soya Sauce Noodles and Fried Chicken Pieces, we were seriously impressed (and we are not exactly Milk Tea newbies either). Definitely worth dropping by if your are hanging around Newmarket!

Well-known for their Taiwanese Milk Tea, few realise that Quickly's food is super-nice too. Located on Kyber Pass Road near the Broadway end, one of my favourites is the Pork Cutlet and Rice meal. For the money (around $10) you will be surprised by the generous serving, well-cooked and tasty pork, and a range of well-matched veges. To top it all off, they even include a traditional savoury Tea Egg - very cool.

Go to China for 35 bucks! I really did not get this place for quite some time. I was totally baffled when wife and friends kept insisting on going to this place. No joke, we have been to this place six times in the last 3 months, and even as I write this we will be going again tonight! Yummy Palace is hot, steamy, cramped (for my 6ft frame) the smell goes deep into your clothes, the chilli spice constantly gets up your nose, and the menu - if you do not read Chinese you might have more luck blindfolded. And if that's not enough - you have to cook your own food! Welcome to Hot Pot - DIY Sichuan style dining. Now, along with the rest of the Auckland Chinese community, I can appreciate Yummy Palace's enormous selection of dishes and ingredients (including very nice desserts that you have before the main meal?). This all comes at AMAZING value, hence the place is always packed (what recession?) and they 'say' you must finish eating within one and a half hours. Located a few doors down from the big BP in Newmarket on Crowhurst Street, Yummy Palace is nothing short of adventurous!
