Let’s start by talking about what I love so much, if not the most. AND today’s topic is “La Cuisine.” Now, Food talking is critical! It doesn’t matter where you are in the world, if there’s good food, great time is guaranteed. My first visit to New Zealand was full of tensions and skeptics. I was quite young at the time and didn’t know what to expect. The only knowledge I had of New Zealand prior to my first visit was the number of sheep population exceeds the number of people population by double and English is the main spoken language. “ENGLISH,” now that’s a relief, thanks to my overly enthusiastic mother who has tricked me into taking English lessons started when I was 4 years old. I didn’t mean to lead you into thinking that my English was decent then. It wasn’t that great and it hasn’t improved much either. But always remember! Every day is a work in progress regardless of what you do with your life. I’m getting ahead of myself again; let’s get back to “La Cuisine.” Now, regardless of how I felt before my first visit, once I got there and had my very first meal, the rest is history. Although my first meal wasn’t the best I had in New Zealand but everything on my plate spoke “FRESH FRESH FRSH & FRESH!” If you are a fan of fresh A** seafood, New Zealand must the on your top to-go-to destinations.

Let’s start from the top to bottom (** meaning from North Island down to South**)

Our first destination is Auckland,the largest and most populated area in the country.





Guess what? The most populated city in New Zealand only has a population of 1.4 million. Another interesting fact is The Economist’s World’s Most Livable Cities index of 2010 ranked Auckland in 10th Place. It is also known is the “City of Sails” because the harbor is occupied with hundreds of yachts and has more per capita than any other city in the word. That must mean something right?

Our first to-go-to Seafood spot in Auckland is Sails Restaurant.

Sails Restaurant is located in the heart of the Southern Hemispheres’ largest marina. Every table looks o out over thousands of yachts. This restaurant did not only earn its’ reputation as one of New Zealand’s top restaurants through their uncompromising belief in using the freshest ingredients but through its excellent food and personal service.
