We’re Thomas and Sheena, food and travel fiends. We travel full time, hunting for the BEST local food in the world to showcase via our RUclips videos. Food is a window into a country's culture and one of the most exciting ways to get to know a place.
We're all about eating what and where the locals eat. You won't find food that's been created merely to be social media worthy on here- no rainbow bagels, gold leaf soft serves- just genuine, authentic food that tastes incredible.
From street food to mom and pop restaurants, we want to show you the best and most authentic food we find on our travels.

Dominion Rd is truly iconic. It has always been known for it’s variety of different cuisines, brings back memories
It’s one of my favourite parts of town! Thanks for watching John, so glad you enjoyed this video- hope you like the rest of the Dominion Rd series. Cheers, Sheena
Man underrated channel , just binge watching the vids lol
😍😍😍 aww thanks so much SAHIL! So glad you’re enjoying our content mate! Hope you like what we have coming up 😄 have an awesome day! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate 🙂👍
Just want to say a big thank you for putting in the effort of pronouncing ‘Uyghur’ as accurate as you could. We are often mispronounced as ‘wee-ger’ , and a lot of people don’t realise how damaging it is to our Uyghur identity and culture.
Thanks so much for watching Tokatch and for being so forgiving with our pronunciation! ‘Wee-ger’ is used so commonly isn’t it- we noticed it even in our comments in this video. We loved getting to eat some traditional food from your culture. It was delicious! Cheers, Sheena
Oh wow the food looks fantastic, I particularly loved the Thai food, larb and sticky rice is so good. I love those little meat skewers as well 😍
Such a great day of eating Angie! That Thai feast was fantastic 😍 it took us straight back to Thailand! Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
Awesome people. I had a shop just near them. Beautiful people, the food is just delicious, hunger buster and different!!!
So much deliciousness! We love Dominion Road’s diversity. Thanks for watching and commenting Navneet. Hope you enjoy the rest of the content on our channel. Cheers, Sheena
Fabulous food journey as always from you two. Thanks a lot for sharing some tasty food 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️
Omg that Thai food! And that Uyghur feast 🤤🤤🤤 I want it all! Thanks for watching this series mate. Hope you’re enjoying it! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate yes indeed it is most enjoyable
lve heard of Uyghur cuisine but never seen it before, what an absolute privilege for you guys to be able to try the food and see how the Chefs prepare such rare dishes!! (Do they have an English Menu?) NZ climate certainly lends itself to these hearty dishes. I got the giggles when Thomas "spilt the tea" aghh yes there is one in every family 🤭. Bring on Thailand street food with friends!!!
Omg it was sooo funny! I couldn’t stop giggling when he did that BBB. Yep- the menu was in English 😄 such tasty dishes- that fried lamb and potato is such a favourite of ours! Thanks for watching and commenting BBB. Cheers, Sheena
Have a nice day.
You too! Thanks for watching this one! Cheers, Sheena
Another masterpiece from you guys. Salivating and catching up on your wonderful food journey around our amazing City.
Thanks so much! We’re so glad you liked this one. Isn’t Dom road such a special place. A really gem for Auckland. Thanks heaps for watching! Thomas 😘
Awesome
Sure was! Thanks for watching. Thomas
Wow such good food. I can feel yet another 4 hour return road trip to eat at a restaurant you recommend coming up. We have not been disappointed!
😍😍😍
Woo hoo! Do it fizzguts! So glad that our videos have been helping with your own eating adventures 😄 thanks for watching and for your support! Cheers, Sheena
these videos always make me so hungry!! that somtam salad looks amazing.
😆 hope you had a snack on hand mate! Thanks for watching on this one. My mouth is watering thinking about that Thai food 😆 Cheers, Sheena
Oh my word.. I don't even eat lamb but that crispy lamb looks unreal :O I've never heard of Uyghur cuisine. Must try that place next time I'm up. Thanks for the awesome video as always!
Thanks so much for watching Micah, so stoked you enjoyed this one! Yes absolutely you have to visit- it’s such a unique place 😍 Have a great weekend mate! Cheers, Sheena
Very good 💚💚💚💚

Sheena, you were delivering some ASMR realness with that beautiful Uyghur food! That lamb made my mouth water. And speaking of moreish-your vlogs have that effect on me. I crave more and more! Sending love and light. 🙌❤️
That crunch right Michael? 😆🤤 Omg that lamb was fabulous! You’re the best- thank you so much for your support. Hope you are feeling relaxed from your vacay!! Big love! Cheers, Sheena
🤣🤣 The tea pour. 👍🏾 That potato & cumin dish looked amazing.
🤣🤣🤣 I couldn’t stop laughing!
Thanks for watching mate- hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
This is my neighborhood. Thai restaurant is better than the same food in Thailand (I'm a Thai who went to study in New Zealand) Tom Yum Eden Cook the most delicious Thai food
😍😍😍😍
What are your go-to orders mate?
Can’t wait to get back to try more of their menu. We love their noodle soups too 🤤 Thanks for watching this one, hope you enjoy the rest of the series! Cheers, Sheena
I give you a solid 10/10 for pronouncing Uyghur/Uygur perfectly. NZ was somewhere I was saving up for pre-Covid, along with Auz, but those plans went to crap. One day... One day.
😆 thanks mate!
Hope you get to visit us one day soon! A Aotearoa awaits with open arms! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Hello Thomas and Sheena. As always great video. I am not fond of raw seafood, but i am glad yall enjoyed it. Love from Texas
Hi Deanna! Thanks so much for watching! Yea raw seafood is not for everyone 😄 Big love to you in Texas. Have a great weekend! Cheers, Sheena
Wow! That all looks delicious! The meat tower looked like it was a huge amount of lamb. Thanks for sharing

Another video featuring some of the best eats on Dominion Road, thanks guys.
😍😍😍 so glad you enjoyed it mate! Thanks for watching this one. Spoilt for choice along Dominion Rd right?! Cheers, Sheena
You guys need to try the Thai food at the Clevedon Farmers market. Best in NZ by far 😋
We’ve heard so much about the Clevedon Farmers Market Dale! Can’t wait to get there. Will make sure we eat some Thai food! Thanks for watching mate. Cheers, Sheena
Great vid guys! I used to work in a Thai restaurant there in NZ. I miss their curries and pad thais! I also miss the sushis there in NZ. I think New Zealand has one of the best sushis in the world
😄😄😄
Whereabouts was the restaurant mate? Hope you can get back to NZ for a visit one day soon. Hope this series is bringing back happy memories of your time here 😄 Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Silk Thai in Taupo. But they are not operational anymore. The owner went back to Thailand. And yeah it does bring back a lot of good memories. 🙂 I’m planning to visit NZ when things get a little bit back to normal. Hopefully by next year or 2023. And I also want to move back there for good. I miss the laid back lifestyle over there and the heaps of great food NZ has to offer. Hehe and Kiwis are genuinely nice and the lifestyle there is not that stressful. That’s why I really wanna settle there again one day 🙂
@@Nico-ze2gl hope it’s not too long before you can get back mate! Aotearoa sends its love 😄 Hope you enjoy our NZ content until you can get back!
Love the Isaan spread! Isaan sausage, laab + papaya salad - yum! 🤤 Brings us back to the month we just spent there
Bet you guys ate so many delicious renditions of these dishes. We miss Thailand so much!
Thank you for doing this video it’s been really hard to find a good original Thai restaurant
Hope you enjoy it Gene! It’s a fantastic spot. Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video and like the rest of the series! Cheers, Sheena
So good! Wish I could smell through the screen but oh well, have to make so with the gorgeous colors and freshness instead! Super loving this series!!! ❤️❤️❤️
😍😍😍 thanks mate! You’re so right- the food in this one is so colourful 💕 omg I feel like Thai food now! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you’re having a great weekend! Cheers, Sheena
We just got a Thai place in town… I’ll definitely try it soon and see how it stacks up! 😎😎
Love Uyghur food. Yum!
Us too! Gotta get some takeaways from there soon I reckon. Thanks for watching and commenting syc008. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Come visit Melbourne when things open up again. We've got a few more Uyghur restaurants around :)
@@syc008 😍😍😍 awesome! We used to live in Melbs- love that city.
@@ChasingaPlate Oh really? How long ago since you moved to NZ?
Guys you got luck to have that once in a life time meals. So diverse and good presentation lots of surprises you are giving. Love you both keep doing.
We are so lucky 😍 It honestly is like travelling the world via food by wandering down Dom Rd. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate. Cheers, Sheena
A great watch loved it thanks. I live just off Dominion Rd and have been wanting to try the Uyghur restaurant, but only myself and youngest eat lamb. My wife dislikes it. Maybe I’ll have a sneaky dinner for two. The Thai restaurant looks fab I’m going to go this week. I’m from Adelaide Australia and must admit we are disappointed with Thai and especially Vietnamese food here.
I reckon a sneaky dinner for two is the way to go Andrew 😂 It’s such a neat spot. I totally hear you on the Thai and Vietnamese front- we used to live in Melbourne and were spoilt for choice on both fronts. Have you been to Try it Out in Otahuhu for Vietnamese? It’s great there. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate thanks for the reply Sheena yes I should have said a disclaimer.. apart from try it out ... a chef/owner from Bar Lilian told me about this place and have takeaway from there a few times it's quite close to Australian Vietnamese restaurants! Also loving your series on Auckland restaurants it's made me realise yes the diversity here is quite astounding. Must eat out more although Covid has limited us for three years .. have a great weekend
@@andrewschirmer3849 wonderful! We need to get back there again soon. We are so spoilt for choice here- it’s been awesome showcasing what we have on our doorstep. Happy eating over the next wee while- hope you like what we have coming up on the channel. Have a brilliant weekend Andrew! Cheers, Sheena
such a fun way of displaying the Hanging kebab.
Neat isn’t it! I’d love to see it being cooked like that one day also. The food is so delicious there. Thanks for watching this one guys! Thomas 😀
*Uyghur* - Had only once so am really unfamiliar with the cuisine. Never knew about the street pies or the meat rack. 😀
*Kaisendon* - Prefer Ikura over Tobiko but that would bump up the price. Still, perfect looking lunch. 🐟🦐🍚
*Isaan* - Som Tam, larb and sausages! Awesome Northern Thailand rep.
*Uyghur Human Rights* - Since ya’ll are acutely concerned with these issues, thoughts? In the news regularly.
Hehe I’d opt for Ikura too if there was a choice 😆 they had a delicious ikura and king salmon bowl on the menu too. I wasn’t aware the pies were street food- they were fantastic- really rustic and clean in flavour. It’s hideous what’s happening over there to the Uyghur communities- we keep up to date on the news. It’s such an awful, sickening situation- without it seems a solution?
Thanks for watching Tosh! Cheers, Sheena
Just last week the U.S. passed a bill that bans any product from companies in Xinjiang that cannot prove they do not use forced labor with the assumption that all products manufactured in the region are using labor camps. It will be difficult to enforce but a good first step to apply some financial pressure. And just yesterday the U.S. Congress officially formed a Uyghur Congressional Caucus which is basically a committee of lawmakers who will focus on all issues regarding Uyghur human rights. We’ll see.
So my sort of food! The lamb/potato dish i'm sitting here drooling over - is it high in heat with the spices? i LOVE cumin! OMG and the cucumber salad! The pies omg yet somewhere else I need to visit!
Now Thai food - looks truly amazing and so authentic! I love everything Thai!
The Donuburi looked amazing - i've never tried raw prawn!
😍😍😍 thanks for watching Debbie! The lamb and potato is not super fiery at all- just a bit of chilli but loads of cumin. Bet you’d love it! We love this restaurant so much. Argh we love all three spots. Hope you guys get a chance to visit them too one day soon. Have a great week Debbie! Cheers, Sheena
Hi guys , you have out done yourselves with this series and I love that Dominion road, what a place and I can't wait to get there , but I will have to wait until NZ reopens to us , cheers Alister in Australia.
So glad you’re enjoying the series! Dominion Road is such a special place. We used to live just off it so it’s close to our hearts. We’ve absolutely loved filming these videos. One more to come! Thanks again for watching. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Good eating!!! 👍
So much good eating 😍 thanks for watching Jo! Hope you’re having a great weekend! Cheers, Sheena
I just discovered your channel, looking forward to future videos 🤤🤓👍
Thanks for checking out our channel Brenda 😍 Hope you enjoyed this video and like what we have coming up! Have a great week mate. Cheers, Sheena
Thanks 🙏 for a great video of yummy food.
So glad you enjoyed it mate! Thanks for watching and commenting 😍 Cheers, Sheena
Thanks for the yummy bites and sharing. Take care:}
Thanks for watching mate! SO many yummy bites! Have a great weekend 💕 Cheers, Sheena
so great to have this food in NZ. my sister went to urumqi a few years ago and it opened my eyes to how diverse the food is in china. will visit next time i'm up in AKL.
Wow! Bet it was an amazing trip! It’s so diverse right? Such a neat cuisine to explore. Thanks for watching and commenting mate- def pop in the next time time you’re up! 😍👊 Cheers, Sheena
You might be slowly winning me over from the traditional gristle and gravy pie. That Uighur lamb pie does look very good.
😆😆😆
I reckon you’d love these Stephen! They were really rustic- and super flavoursome. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Delicious
SO many great dishes 😍 thanks for watching and commenting mate. Hope you enjoyed the video Novak! Cheers, Sheena
good video mate
Thanks Joseph 😍 so glad you enjoyed it mate! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. Cheers, Sheena
We love Uyghur food! Cumin heavy and perfect for the cold weather
It’s perfect right!? Are there many Uyghur restaurants in NYC guys? Thanks for watching and commenting on this one! Cheers, Sheena
Hi you guys happy Weekend
Happy weekend mate! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Sheena
🤗🤗🤗😍😍👍😁
Thanks for watching Sinar! Can’t wait to get back to these spots soon! Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
So delicious
Sure was! Thanks very much for watching this one. Cheers, Thomas 😀
We stumbled across that Uyghur restaurant a couple of years ago - wandered in off the street having no idea what kind of food they served. Turned out to be delicious and a go-to place for us. If I was going to recommend two dishes from Jade Town, I'd say definitely get the smashed cucumber salad and the fried lamb and potato dish. (It's usually served with lamb, but they'll do it with beef if you ask them.. both are really delicious).
Those are our must orders too! How good is this place? Never disappoints. Thanks for watching and commenting April! Hope Yu enjoyed the video 😄 Cheers, Sheena
wowๆๆ555😁😆
Delicious! Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
Hey dear wow 🥰💟🥰 love to much oh my god yummy fried wow 😋
So much delicious food 😄 thanks for watching and commenting Soniya! Cheers, Sheena
Did you try Sweet Chilli Pt.Chev Restaurant?
We’ve never been! Worth a visit? What kind of cuisine is it? Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate it's Thai food, Thai style.
Seeing those menus in Thai and using Google Translate was a very recent thing for us 😂😂
😂😂😂
yum x 3 ♥💯🔥
Well said Selwyn 😍👊 thanks for watching and commenting mate! Cheers, Sheena
you guys should try raw prawn thai style
Omg goong chae nam pla is one of my favourite dishes! But since we had raw prawn at the Japanese joint I didn’t want to overdose everyone with my raw prawn obsession so held back on ordering it at the Thai restaurant 😆 thanks for watching and commenting Lucy, hope you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena
Aarrgh! Now I'm craving lamb! It's not a meat favored in my backwoods little town, so I foresee a 50+ mile round trip to get some. :/ Same for sushi. Fortunately, I have to go out to the "big town" tomorrow, so I'll add on a couple of stops to get those "exotic" foods. We're in the middle of a heat wave here, with a heat index of 115F (46C), so extra stops will have to be brief! Good thing my car has great air con...
Oh my goodness! I am so glad you have great air con MsKestrela! Stay cool and add an ice cream stop to your journey I say! 😅 Thanks thanks for watching and commenting on this one 💕 Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Ahh, leave it to the lovely Sheena-ice-creama to point out the flaw in my plan! Fortunately, there's plenty of that in my lil nook in the woods. I can stop at the drive thru Dairy Queen in my little town, on the way home. Hugs tou you both!
@@MsKestrela 😍🍦yippee!
The Asian. Diaspora in NZ is so big..❤️❤️❤️
Incredible isn’t it?! 😍 we’re so lucky! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate, hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
Gimme that lamb rack!!!!!!!!!
How cool is the presentation?! And omg the lamb was delicious! Thanks for watching guys, hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
❤😘😍
Thanks for watching mate! Happy weekend! Cheers, Sheena
Multi tasking is clearly not your thing Thomas, but its ok, happens to me all the time, lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I couldn’t stop giggling!
Too funny 🤪 Cheers, Sheena
are you guys having a warmer winter then last year ??
It sure is warmer than being in the camper van like last year 😂 NZ being so long and thin makes for some pretty different climates. Last year we were done south much more during winter so it’s much colder down there. In Auckland at the moment we’re getting lows around 7-9 and highs of around 14-15 so not bad at all for mid winter. Thomas 😀🙌
@@ChasingaPlate yep. i was thinking at the camper. can you believe it's been a year ?? wooow
Not at all! Feels like just yesterday. Time sure does fly 😀
@@Alina_Valentina UNBELIEVABLE!
Im a quick swim across the Tasman Sea from NZ and we are definitely having a mild Winter here as well 20celcius and sunny today, not bad for middle of Winter👍
There is a Uyghur restaurant close to me,tried a couple of dishes,they were delicious. One of my favourite is the Nepalise food,also real close,in fact,I am close to Albany Highway,the closest to Dominion road set up,3 miles of restaurants.
Sounds like you have so many options where you live mate! We’re so lucky to have this one Uyghur restaurant in NZ- the food is so delicious. Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you’re having a great weekend! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate It's wet windy and wild here,but that's life,hope you are both well. 🙂
Definitely get something from the Thai menu if you want something different from other Thai restaurants, just ask them to translate 😋 most Thai ppl go there for it 🤫
😍😍😍
Great tip mate! What sorts of dishes do you go for? Thanks for watching and commenting Chompoo. Cheers, Sheena
Free uyghur
Couldn’t agree more mate! 💕 thanks for watching this one! Cheers, Sheena
Seem your video quality improve!! it's change camera?🤔
Hey mate! Nope same camera. Glad it’s looking good 🙌 Thomas 😀
Sashimi of Japan is run by Chinese and I find them not authentic enough in many ways. Good quality ingredients that poorly handled, license restaurant's pricing with a takeaway atmosphere. Lots of room for improvement, need lot more dedication and heart into it aye!!
Hi mate! Thanks for watching! The atmosphere reminds me of similar style restaurants in Tokyo 😆 Kinda rough and ready. The quality of the fish is great- they purchase from great suppliers which we love. Hope you’re staying sane in Level 3! Cheers, Sheena
Is the food sponsored or gifted or do you have to pay for everything 🤔
Hi mate, thanks for watching and commenting! Hope you enjoyed the video. This video is sponsored by the Dominion Road Business Association but all restaurants featured were chosen by us 😄 We always try and pay for our meals but there are some occasions where the restaurants refuse to take payment- we always disclose when this happens. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series! Cheers, Sheena
👍👍👍❤❤❤🤝🤝🤝
Thanks for watching mate! Cheers, Sheena
You need to put on a mask when you go into the kitchen.
This video was filmed a number of months ago under level one conditions. There was no mandate for mask wearing and no covid in the community. Thanks for watching. Thomas
That is not pie.we called them kaobaozi(烤包子).
Thanks for the traditional term mate! The restaurant calls them pies so we used their terminology 😄 And it is a pie really seeing as it’s a meat filling wrapped in pastry 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Ate before at Uyghur resto…very oily unhealthy meal. Feel vomiting after eating 😢
That’s a shame. It can definitely be a heavy meal but that’s characteristic of the cuisine of the culture- hearty food! Thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena
Why does she keep pronouncing Uyghur so wrong?
I’m pronouncing it the way Uyghur people do 😄 The way we often hear it pronounced in the West- wee-guh- is the Han Chinese pronunciation. Thanks for watching Andrew. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Amazing, I have extensive experience in China and I had no clue. Thanks for teaching me! My 12 year old son and I will be visiting Auckland in October and that alone makes me want to visit this restaurant.
@@DrewSRail no worries Andrew 😄 How wonderful you’ll be in Auckland in October. This spot is definitely worth a visit- there’s nowhere else like it in the city and the food is great. Cheers, Sheena
