I recently visited the Tanpopo branch in Howick for the first time. It's been a while since I'd…read morevisited the one in town, but I feel like the two branches, menu aside, couldn't be anymore different. Tanpopo Howick seats quite a few more people and has more of a Saturday hangout feel as opposed to a family restaurant. There are bar seats aswell if you're just there for drinks or would prefer to have your meal there. Our table for two was massive, and suitably so because it ended up being covered in food. The tables and ottomans are very close together and its s tight squeeze to get in and out of your seat. I didn't find this to be a huge problem, but this really depends on personal preference. The service here was awesome. We were greeted immediately by one staff member and they were great throughout the night. Our food came out quickly and it took us a while to get through it all. Their miso soup is just delicious and for $3 you get a massive bowl- it will certainly make you realise that you're being ripped off everywhere else. This is also the best miso I've had in recent times and one is enough to share between two people. We also ended up grabbing a loyalty card to get a few dollars off on our next visit. We even got a couple of extra stamps on ours because it was our first visit! Excellent and consistent service and food, I would highly recommend Tanpopo for a great meal.

Specialising in Taiwanese food, My Kitchen is just one of the many Asian establishments in the…read moreHowick area. While I've had my fair share of Chinese food, this was my first time trying Taiwanese cuisine (apart from the odd bubble tea), so I was excited! Perhaps the most attractive feature of My Kitchen is that everything on the menu is under $15 - perfect for the student budget! Their main meals average around $11, and they come with either noodles or a bowl of rice. All the main meals with rice come with three side dishes, soup and fresh fruit (one slice of orange, hah). My Kitchen also serves a variety of Taiwanese snack foods, such as coffin toast (what), oyster omelette, and fried pork buns. Their menu is extensive, but everything on the menu is accompanied by an image so you know what to expect. We decided to give one of the snack foods a go, so we tried the Rice Tube Pudding ($5.90), which was alright. I have to admit that this sounds pretty dodgy but it is very similar to the Chinese "zongzi" (savoury glutinous rice cake). As to the main dishes, we ordered the Kung Pao Chicken on Rice ($11.90), Spicy Beef on Rice ($11.90) and Braised Pork Belly on Noodles ($11.90). All of us agreed that these were great - the portions were very generous, and everything was super flavourful! I did, however, find the Kung Pao Chicken and the Spicy Beef quite oily. The Milk Tea with Pearls ($5.50) was refreshing, not too sweet, and had a good ratio of boba (pearls) to tea. Also, instead of a teapot being brought to your table upon arrival, there is a self-service tea and cutlery station. Most of the people working there seem to have a good command of English. It also doesn't close between lunch and dinner so it's a good place to come for linner... or is it dunch? Overall, My Kitchen gave me a great taster of Taiwanese food, and I will definitely be back.

The cafe is just big enough to have some privacy yet not so big that it feels like a big empty restaurant. There is semi outdoor seating with protective cover on windy days with a great view overlooking the water. The counter has a huge selection of mouth watering dishes from pastries to salads. It has all the staples of a typical cafe menu to everything in between.

And its true. Ara-Tai café has a mouth-watering selection of counter food (try the giant iced cookies or a blueberry bran muffin), as well as breakfast and lunch menus featuring the classics like eggs Benedict and more specialty seafood dishes. I've never had a bad food experience here, and perhaps that's why whenever it's open, it's heaving. Airy, clean and fresh inside, you get a cheerful view of the marina through the big windows, and it's totally family-friendly. They also have a generous amount of outdoor seating if you want to bring you dog. Well worth the wait in the queue.

Soon after we were seated we had that happy, relieved feeling that this was a Japanese restaurant that actually had Japanese waitresses and chefs, which is a great find these days. Gouemon has the cosy, traditional interior that's so inviting about authentic Japanese restaurants. The food is slightly more expensive that other similar places, but it was absolutely delicious. I recommend the sizzling prawns in golden cream sauce ($19.80), and the banana tempura with ice cream. Forget your waistline, enjoy, and take advantage of the BYO to save a little money!

There are 11 different flavours to choose from; from the basic frankfurter to the the Old Essex Banger, Spanish Chorizo and my personal favourite the Kransky, which is a mix of pork, herbs and Edam cheese. Not just the sausages but there are also a range of fantastic sides to get excited about. Potato salad, pickled gherkins (oh my gosh yum), mushy peas and chilli cheese fries! So you can really tailor your meal to your own personal tastes or a specific geographic area if the mood takes you. While I'm not really one for eating in food courts, the atmosphere and concept at Elliott Stables is really something quite different altogether.
