I would say the fried rice is probably my favourite dish from here and close behind that is their lemon chicken. All of my friends rave about their lemon chicken after they had it at my house one time. They are great with taking phone orders too, I have always received everything I ordered with no mistakes. It's so local for me which is great, and when it comes time to pick up there are plenty of free parks on the street outside. I often get one right outside the door which sounds lazy but when you are ordering take aways you are obviously feeling very lazy right? I think this shop is family run as I often see their kids serving at the counter and I do like to support them by choosing to order my take-aways from here, but it is the taste and quality of their food that keeps me coming back.

Maybe the dinner rush is late here, because the place filled with customers after we sat down. Perhaps seeing us scarf down our food enticed others to come in! In any event, we bought a five pack of chicken for $16 NZ, which seemed like a fair deal. The chicken skin has a good, unique flavor, different for our American taste buds. It was a welcome surprise. Plus, this establishment is halal, so you can have comfort that your meats are prepared with care. Definitely worth more visits from Yelpers!

Seriously their make your own "deluxe" burgers are actually not bad. I know right?!?! A McDonalds that makes decent hamburger. I am sure that it might be a sign of the apocalypse or something. What I think is pretty good is that you can design your own meal, you can make that ¼ lb mega Mac or a mc flurry with extra sauce added. Plus you get asked if you need help. They are really good at helping you out if you've never used the self-service kiosk before. Oh and here is the next non-Maccas thing. Do the gourmet burger and they bring it to your table. They even offer to give you your dessert after. It has to be a dream right? The negatives are that this isn't fast food. If you need it fast, I would seriously just drivethru. Sure there is the rest of the crappy menu, the same old stuff. But it is nice to know that at least one McDonalds is trying to do something better than the norm.

Last experience was ordering a Clubhouse Angus, and being given a chicken burger. Decided to eat it anyway as we were in a rush, and to whinge upon leaving. Spoke to the manager and he offer me a new burger. I explained I was in a rush and aren't exactly hungry anymore after scoffing down a combo etc and to just sling me a voucher. But when he said, "no, we don't do that, it's not in our policy." I asked, "is it your policy to name your chickens AC/DC band member names, because I'm quite happy to come back and order a Clubhouse Brian Johnson or a Clubhouse Bon Scott another time but when I order an Angus burger I'm kinda expecting beef" His face then went as blank as his apparent brain cell count. So, if I ever go back there it's purely for the coffee, nothing else.

Coming to New Zealand, I didn't anticipate on having a burger at all, but I was so hungry and didn't know my way around Newmarket, I think coming here was actually fate. I cannot tell you how fantastic the Lamb Burger was--the meat was so tender, the burger literally melted in my mouth. I'm not much of a beetroot eater (and I'm told this is a common topping in Australian and New Zealand burgers), but it was different in a good way. The bun was also really good, so no complains about the burger at all. We also got the Potato Skins with Truffle Aioli--amaaazing! They were hot and fresh when it came to our table and the chunky portions were more than generous. It's such a shame I'm almost 9,000 miles away because I'm craving a meal from this place at this very moment. The staff were a fun bunch, especially our waiter, Liam, who was full of laughs.

Sometimes, however, a true fried chicken addict just needs a bit of KFC. I have tried the KFC in Takapuna and Birkenhead and it was sickening, greasy, not crispy skin, the chicken itself tasting very industrial and the service poor as well. The Ponsonby KFC, the few times I have ventured in, bucks the trend and is crispy and delicious with a nice place to sit and helpful service. I don't like to admit it but I probably will be back.

And it's for this very reason that the Ponsonby Road KFC deserves a special mention. This is not just KFC, it's the epitome of Colonel Sanders himself, and this comes from experience as well as taste-testing KFC in over 10 different countries around the world. Why Ponsonby Road? For starters, it was one of the first stores in NZ to get a 'makeover' with a flash new fitout, plasma screens in the restaurant etc. Food wise the chicken is always hot, when you ask for extra seasoning on your chips you get it and everything just seems fresher and less greasy than some other stores. And thirdly, the service is friendly and engaging. No bored, pimply teenager on the other end of the drive-through microphone. They are happy to accommodate swap-outs in orders and multiple payments. And people who can't decide what they want... All in all, a very pleasing fast food experience. Fill your next chicken craving at KFC Ponsonby Road.

It's a convenient stop when you want something reliable and satisfying while exploring the city. The chicken was cooked well and had great flavor, but the biggest miss this visit was the sauce situation. Even after asking for extra peri-peri sauce and ketchup, both were pretty skimpy. At Nando's, sauce is kind of the whole point, so that was a little disappointing. That said, the staff were friendly, the food came out quickly, and the location is hard to beat. Overall, it was still a solid meal, just wish they'd been more generous with the sauce. Would definitely return, but next time I'll be extra clear and keep requesting. Three ketchups for a large fry and two suaces for half chicken is bad.

Serving up really good fish 'n' chips is their business - from sourcing delectable fresh fish straight from the market each day to thickly chopping up agria potatoes for their chips, the guys at this shop really know their stuff. As far as this sort of food goes, expect to pay a little bit more for what you're getting, but also expect to see a really good quality product. Burgers range from $7.90 for a hamburger to $10 for a scotch fillet burger - much more expensive than your average chippie but totally worth it. Chips are cheap - $3 for a small scoop and $4.50 for more. Also, I'm allergic to vinegar, so I can't have tartare sauce. When I told the owner that I couldn't have tartare, he made up for it by giving me extra fish in the burger. Extra fish! Ka pai, Fish & Chip Shop.
