Monsoon Poon, Auckland, New Zealand

This restaurant is a favourite with my managers at work.  They raved about the Dragon Tacos which I have to admit was amazing. It's made up of prawn, avocado in a spicy space hugged by flakey roti bread.

The dishes are shared like many Asian cuisines however it was hard to pinpoint the genre of restaurant. It's probably best described as Asian fusion.  A nice restaurant to attend to; staff are attentive although one of work colleagues claimed I was a famous blogger which may have influenced customer service that night!

Degree Bar, Auckland - New Zealand

Degree Bar is on the viaduct waterside.  It was completely packed on this particular Thursday night with office workers. The male waiters all have random beards or facial hair.

My work colleagues got a solid chunk of meat on a grilled stone. It doesn't look particularly appetising but I was told it was delicious.  I got the mussels which were delicious and fresh in a saffron and tomato sauce.  My wind whirl work trip to Auckland is now over and it's back to work in Sydney!
