Since it was pouring with rain again this morning, I had to adjust my excercise schedule; swap out a run for stretching. Probably a good thing. #mbnov

Kritika's Kitchen

Can’t stop thinking about the wonderful food that Kritika and the team at Shepherd restaurant shared with us last night. Such an incredible delicious and inventive personal take on her own food heritage with the Shepherd twist!

Menu

  • Mulligatawny and Keema Bread (lentil, cumin, smoked garlic, kombu)
  • Chaap (fengureek, mint, green chilli, lime)
  • Murg Tikki (capsicum, carrot, tumeric, peanut)
  • Machli (kingfish, coconut, yuzu kosho, citrus, coriander oil)
  • Nihari, Parantha and Pulao (goat, nihari masala, pickles, many other delights!)
  • Rasamalai (saffron, rose, Jaggery, pistachio)

Just wonderful. More of this!

Wonderful meal at Kritika’s Kitchen at Shepherd Restaurant- just the best. #food #feast #pōneke #wellington

I’m pretty certain that this is one of the best days in Pōneke this spring.

Mōrena Pōneke. #morning #pōneke #wellington #aotearoa

An oasis in the city. Gardens, seats, trees, and the Bucket Fountain. Cuba Street, Pōneke, Aotearoa. Well done, WCC.

To be fair to Pōneke, after this morning’s downpour she’s turned on a lovely day!

The weather in Pōneke (Wellington), Aotearoa is utterly foul today, and I’m still in recovery mode - so I’m taking it as a licence to stay home and rest properly. #mbnov

On our streets

Gloriously warm day in Pōneke
