Well, apart from the Coldplay concert, I also hanged out with Chyi and Sze at Auckland
Must admit that Auckland is way more fun compared to Palmy, Welly or Dunedin, and I am definitely a city girl, =P
First, start with my flight journey to Auckland, I just realized I was so 'blue' before boarding,
but I am definitely not 'blue' in mood, as the weather was awesome!!
I was able to spot Mt Taranaki!!!!
Chyi and Sze were very on time in terms of picking me up at the airport, we went to have dim-sum straight away.
We had dim sum at New Market, and wann zhen, and also Johanna come along and join us!
Well, Jo was quite busy and not joining us for window shopping at New Market, but we dint really do window shopping, more like bumping around.
But before she gone, she directed us to this cool cupcake store - Petal cupcakes!!
Haha, I am actually not a muffin or cupcake person, but the beautiful rose appearance still attracted me!
Eventually I bought one to be shared with Sze, we bought a chocolate one, which was the fast-selling-out one, it was delicious, but I was very pleased to just sharing one with Sze as I think it was just too much...(too sweet and creamy ><, sorry cupcake fans)
Spot this Mrs Higgins Gelato!! Never know they have gelato too!!! The shop was real artistic!!
Gelato was alright, I have a taro-flavored gelato...very soft!
That's for the first day when we were at Auckland, because after the gelato, we mainly just gone for the concert.
On second day, we mainly done some shoppings at DressMart at Onehunga, and omg, I bought something again!!
Then have a pleasant meal at Number 1 BBQ restaurant at Auckland city
I wouldnt say it was yummy, but the portion was definitely HUGE!!
Followed by the meal, we went to Botanic Down for another shopping, lol.
Then we were fated to meet this event!! - 'Share a coke with' campaign....well sze was mentioning in the morning and suggesting that we could go, but eventually all of us forgot about this activity, and then, boom! We were at Botanic Down without planning, we came mainly because we have nowhere to go~
I think actually we were really lucky that we are in NZ and have this special Coke event (simply click the link 'share a coke with' on top to find out more), and thumbs up for the good marketing strategy of Coca Cola. For us, we were even luckier as we just 'accidentally' gone to Botany Down and met this campaign!
I felt silly at first to line out for this, well, recently there were so many ads and people talking about this share a coke with....
then, i think, it is actually a cool thing~ See how CHyi and Sze were so happy!
Well, basically we just get coke at Botany Down, we dint do any shopping at the end.
After that, we gone to the NorthShore night market!! (FINALLY!!!)
You wont believe this, it is located at the car park in Glenfield MAll!!!! I remembered I gone here so many times with Huey Yee, or by myself to get grocerries!!
That was like just a year ago, and it changed dramatically! The night market just started after I left!!
SO unfair!! haha, well, still feel lucky I am able to return to the same location, well a bit goosebump with the changes which Glenfield and I have.
Mainly the night market is flooded with yummy, mostly Asian food stores!!! Our eyes just *bling bling*!!
I got this special takoyaki, well forgot their names, they contain shrimp and crab!!!! Yummy!!!
Sze and I also shared this ramen, it was alright, well since I had the ramen at Sydney, I couldnt find any ramen that is better than that.
I also bought one of this, roasted quail eggs! It was my first time saw this, and very fresh taste and texture!!
Apart from that, I also bought one of the yummy tarts.....it was so cheap and so many varieties compared to those I had at Simply Paris, Wellington
I bought the banoffee tart, it was super light but yummy!! It only cost NZD4 compared to NZD7 + at Wellington!!
Oh well, too bad I couldnt spend more time at the night market as I need to catch my flight!!
I really thankful to Chyi and Sze, they had to sacrifice their time at the market as well because they were actually flying on the next day.
Sigh, my wonderful advanced planning skill gain a grab-a-seat flight ticket, but actually I was able to take another day off and fly on Monday instead of Sunday night if i bought the ticket later.
Well, fated, and I dont think I miss anything anyways~
Still had lot of fun at Auckland!!
