Echo Dessert, Newmarket

Looking at the post I published, it was almost a year and a half ago. 
It's sad to admit that I have indeed neglected my blog but at the same time the habit of snapping photos of my food was still part of my daily routine. 
What have I been doing in the past year and a half? - I traveled, worked, and continued to explore. Some posts, like this one, are definitely long overdue but nonetheless I thought to post it up anyway since the duration is was not too long ago. I think I'm going to add 'keep blog updated' as one of my resolutions.

Echo Dessert cafe is a small sweet dessert cafe located on the busy street of Khyber Pass that provides a large range of both Asian and Western desserts and drinks, some with very unique flavours that you may have never thought would go together. 

Circus Circus Cafe, Mt Eden

Circus Circus Cafe is probably an iconic venue of Mt Eden. With its circus tent architectural design and theme, both internally and externally, this cafe/restaurant surely draws the attention of by-passers, both for their food and fun atmosphere. 

Delectable Desserts, Elliot Stables

The more I blog, the more I think about it, Auckland city is really a place filled with a diverse range of everything. It's really nice to think and know the level of diversity and multiculturalism that exists. 
Because of this, a range of ethnic and authentic foods become available to us. Today's post talks about a dessert cafe at Elliot Stables that shows a high level of ethnicity and authenticity in their shop and desserts.
 

Casa del Gelato, Mt Eden Branch

Today's post will feature another gelato shop located in the small Mt Eden village. If it's out of your way to get into the city to try some of the places that I have already posted about, or that you don't quite feel like cake desserts, Casa del Gelato store, Mt Eden branch may be ideal as a stop for a quick scoop  or a sundae cup of gelato.

iStorm Gelato & Espresso, Chancery St

Frozen treats are suitable anytime, anywhere, on any occassion, and for any reason. According to Wikipedia, ice cream have been around since 400BC!
A few years ago, gelato (Italian word for ice cream) had been introduced to New Zealand, and had been a huge hit ever since. 

iStorm Gelato & Espresso is a small ice cream shop situated in the busy and high end Chancery street of the Auckland CBD. If you're into trying out weirdly unique flavours and East Asian style treats, be assured that you can find all these things in this little shop.

Cafe Rhythm, Parnell

If you're like me and like to go food exploring, trying out all sorts of things, then Cafe Rhythm is surely a place you'd want to put on your 'places to try out' list. 
Parnell Village is such a popular spot for both tourists and locals, not only filled with high end products, but here you will also find some of the most iconic cafes and shops, along with the infamous old phone booth. However, all these can be easily seen on the main road of Parnell, thus easily passing, or perhaps not even knowing, about the existence of the hidden treasures located within the area.

Moo Chow Chow, Ponsonby

In my mind, Ponsonby always gave me the impression that it was a long street filled with cafes and bars, and at the end of the day is only the start of an unforgettable night of fun. 
To some people, more like myself, I think the Ponsonby area can be described in a few simple characteristics: cafes, bars, high end retail stores, and the one or two really famous restaurants. Little did I know, it turns out that Ponsonby street is packed with many ethnic and exotic restaurants that will give your taste buds a real surprise! Moo Chow Chow was a place that really stimulated my taste sense. 

La Cigale French Market, Parnell

La Cigale French Market is a French style market day held every weekend in the Parnell area. At this market you can a range of food products from both local New Zealand growers, as well as from overseas.

Cheuk Hong Kong Style Cafe, Dominion Road

Since the first post was a European style cafe and desserts, I thought this time it would be nice to post about Eastern style desserts.

Cheuk Cafe is a small Hong Kong style cafe located on the busy Dominion Road. Although very distinctive inside, the cafe itself is very easily missed. As you are getting closer to the address, be sure to drive a bit slower to save you the effort of turning the car back round. 

With the mass amount of photos of the foods and desserts they made as well at their menu all collaged on their window piece by piece,  the cafe on the outside somehow can always be mistaken to be closed or even mistaken as an empty store space! So please do scroll down at the end of the post to make sure you get the right address and their opening days and hours so you don't miss out.

Fraser's Cafe & Espresso Bar, Mt Eden

Located on a corner off Mt Eden Road, Fraser’s café is a small but warm and cozy place ideal for your Friday night after dinner get-togethers and there’s bound to be something to suit every ones’ taste. 

Even though Fraser’s does provide a full breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert menu of gourmet foods, this place has gained more attention for their range of special cheesecakes, and tarts, as well as other savouries, and a few options of biscuits to go with your coffee, which is immediately seen place in their glass cabinet as you walk into the café.
