Tick the boxes describing the drink you had: ✅ Chewy ✅ Diluted       Colourful ✅  Milky      Healthy ✅   Sweet ✅  Cold -------------------------------------------------------------- Date of Visit: February.15. 2024 Location: 57 Manners Street, Te Aro, Wellington 6011 Name of Drink: Pearl Milk Tea Describe the drink: The Original Pearl Milk tea I drank was a bit diluted. But its pearls was chewy and very addictive. Though I would say that it's kind of an average milk tea I've ever drank. I just feel a bit unsatisfied. Maybe because I expected more from the distinctive taste of the drink. Where does the drink originates from: Gongcha originates from Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 2006. By the time of 2012, Gongcha had 46 stores in Hong Kong located in MTR station and in shopping centres. Which countries do I enjoy bubble tea: I enjoy the drink in Singapore and Taiwan, especially the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ ☆☆ (okay) ---------------------------------------

Restaurant Review: Picnic Cafe

Restaurant: Picnic Cafe Location:  Begonia House, Rose Garden 101 Glenmore Street, Thorndon, Wellington 6012 Date of Visit: February. 12. 2024 Who chose the restaurant:  My godmother Type of Food/s: Western Food Food Ordered:  🍔Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger🍔  Comment: The chicken was absolutely delicious, especially with the chilli mayo sauce. The sesame-seed bun was soft and was a perfect touch to the burger (after all, burgers always have buns). The FRIES, to be honest, is one of my favourite thing to snack on especially with a burger. Eating this  was absolutely glorious. Nothing        better with some shoestring fries on  the side. Overall thoughts: I looove it so much. This is a feast especially for just one person eating this apart from the gherkins, of course 😏                      Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  (I'm OBSESSED  with IT.) 🍉🍹 Kids Picnic Box 👧👦 Comment: This box was at a reasonable price  of $12.00!The box contained a fruit skewer, a tropical drink and 2 ham sandw

Food Review: Ben and Jerry's (2-in-1)

Shop: Ben and Jerry's🍦 Location:  106b Cuba Street  Wellington, NZ 6011  Who chose the shop: Mum Type of Food: Dessert Flavour:  Dirt Cake Here are some photos taken in the shop ⇩ Comment: When I took a bite out of it, I could taste all the flavours inside my mouth. It was giving a hint of caramel with sea salt, chunks of cookies, and a creamy flavour. Personally, I really like homemade food as I feel it's more tastier, fresher and better. I really enjoyed it as it reminded me  of the taste of cookies and cream  which was awfully delightful.                                    Overall thoughts: I really loved the taste and the cookies and cream vibes it was giving me. Like any other Ben and Jerry's ice cream flavour, Ben and Jerry never fails to make the best homemade ice cream the world has ever tasted.  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ☆ (NICE)

T itle: Rooftoppers                                            Author: Katherine Rundell                                Genre: Fiction                                              Publisher: Simon and Schuster (link here→ Simon and Schuster )    Plot:                                             Sophie always wanted a mother. Abandoned in a cello case by the sea, Charles found Sophie and took her in as his own. He raised her and named her Sophie. But as soon as the government demands Charles to let Sophie go to an orphanage, they travel to Paris to find Sophie's mother, who was known to be dead. But Sophie thinks not. Sophie climbs into the rooftops of Paris and meets a boy named Matteo. With the help of Matteo and his group of rooftoppers, will they find her mother in time? What I liked (spoiler alert!):    I liked the ending, it was very touching and  heartfelt  as Sophie first set eyes upon her mother. It  was quite a big deal for her, and for me as well. The
