Most Exciting Eating Establishment Ever!

If you haven’t discovered The Secret Thai Garden yet you are seriously missing out. It's priced well (about $20 per meal) and the food is pretty amazing but that’s not the thing that makes this place so special. Its located in south Auckland so after you have made sure you have locked your car five times you see this little walkway to The Thai Garden. You are probably thinking, well this looks like the sort of place they cook cats out the back of. Don't turn back yet. Once you get through the entrance, you are greeted by elephant tusks lining a resort styled entranceway. The entire place is filled with Buda statues and other oriental decorations. It is a pretty amazing experience. You feel like you are being taken to Narnia. I would suggest going there while we have a little sunshine left. Don't miss out on this treat.

Why stop your night there though. If you want to continue with the oriental theme, visit Shanghai Lil's. It has to be one of the most interesting eccentric bars I have ever been to. It is jammed packed with Chinese antiques and themed around a 1930's brothel (don't worry, its not too raunchy). The owner brings the place to life and there is usually live music. Defiantly one not to miss if you’re up for a drink and plenty to look at. have a look around the place at:
