I found this takeaway shop on the way back home from work and everytime, YES I mean EVERYTIME that I drove past, there were always lots of people in the shop queueing for food to feed their mouth!
So due to the curiousity that almost driving me nuts, we decided to give them a go. We ordered three dishes. They were:
Sweet and Sour Chicken. Sweet and sour dish seems to be Kiwi's favourite and it's definitely Craig's. I tried a few of these dishes before but none of them seemed to trigger my taste bud. But the sweet and sour chicken here is exceptional! First just look at how big the chicken pieces are! And they actually filled up the whole container! I must admit most of the time when we had takeaways, the containers were half filled if we were lucky enough.
Hong Kong Style Combination Friend Noodle. I'm not sure why they called it the Hong Kong Style coz most countries (well all of the countries) in Asia use the same noodle but GOOD GOD! Look at the size of the prawns! It only took one and a half of them to filled my mouth up, not 5 or more of the tiny ones like other places. You might only see a few pieces of meat in the picture but wait till you dig deeper. It was chocka full of it. And the meat were tender and juicy. Not to mention the noodle was well cooked!
And alas, Indonesion Nasi Goreng. Looks delicious leh~ And it was! The vegies are succulent juicy. In fact I haven't had so much vegies in days! And not to mention, meat and rice were cooked perfectly.
I had to have my second serve because it was just so yummy and addictive. As a result..
Not a good look I know..
Right, after all these talking (typing) you will ask where the heck is this place? Ok secret reveal. This takeaway shop is called Diamond Takeaways located at 166, Great South Road, Remuera. The address is very clearly printed and explained if you happen to grab one of its menu.
The food there might be a little pricey. Believe me it's worth every penny that you spend as the food there is second to none (for all the takeaways that I've had)! Maybe that is why they called themselves the 'Diamond' Takeaways instead of some flyin animals..
Anybody hungry?
