Except that my girlfriend just had her China project nightmare and would die if she had to eat anymore Chinese food.
She wanted pizza.
And so here we are.
At Fern & Kiwi at The Cannery in Clarke Quay.
Besides subtly sounding like a swear word,
it was a cute idea.
Fern and Kiwi.
The two most representative items of New Zealand.
I knew about the latter but didn't have an inkling about the former.
In any case,
as long as they were actual food offerings on the table.
I was easy.
So what is New Zealand food?
You've watched all those cows grazing on limitless and luscious fields of green right?
That's basically it.
Quality food untainted by the advancements of agricultural steroids and toxins.
It isn't hard when they receive the best in rainfall, crystal clear waters and mineral rich volcanic soil.
Their physical proximity to Australia would explain for their apparently choice of food but they have a traditional tribal influence from the Maori ancestors inherent in their cooking style.
Simple and uncomplicated.
So let's have some of them ribs, shall we?
The Classic Pork Spare Ribs- A Lone Star Classic as a entree came with 4 counts of ribs.
My girlfriend had this on her previous visit and wasn't impressed.
Apparently, just four ribs could be stacked till they hit the top of the metal racks.
For what it lacked in quantity,
it made up in quality.
Coated with honey BBQ orange glaze,
the meat fell off the ribs in a thoroughly satisfying way.
The soft bones of collagen, the tender pork rind and juicy meat.
I love not having to fight with my food.
And on the waitstaff's recommendation,
we had the Aucklander with chicken meat as our pizza order.
More bread than sauce it's obvious from here.
The base was good but would've been better if it wasn't soaked through with the tomato base sauce.
It became so soggy that you couldn't possibly pick up a slice and murder it without looking like you actually committed a massacre with all that sauce dripping all over you.
All those flavours were rich and intense.
I love every fork of pizza that I had.
And they should be bringing you hot sauce and this uber cute sauce called Rocket Fuel or was it rocket sauce.
With raisins as a main ingredient, it was a thick sticky sweet sauce that was so addictive...
You really should ask them to take it away after a certain time.
And no, it shouldn't be taken away only after the meal.
*Looks disapprovingly at you.
I mixed both hot sauce and the rocket fuel together.
Hot and sweet.
Oh my yum!
And the service there was excellent.
Fun loving staff and we had a few rounds of checking in to see if we liked what we were having and topping up of water without being asked.
It might have been also that we were one of the two tables filled downstairs.
The dining/ bar area upstairs area wasn't yet open at 7pm it seems.
