@@naderhazzan4965 😍 so glad you are enjoying them mate! Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena

[@AO-iv6yr]

I admire how you added the phrase 'through our eyes' to your sentence. I felt it added a humble touch to your message and will prevent people from criticising the way you showcase NZ. Thank you for this incredible video. You can rarely go wrong with corned beef 😄

[@micah1754]

One of the things I really love about you both is your positivity and appreciation for kai. Its also body positivity in a way. So many people place judgement on 'good' or 'bad'' foods and associate virtue or guilt with them. Diet culture is everywhere.. As a guy recovering from anorexia, I really appreciate people who just respect and appreciate their kai, without all that other faff. Thanks so much. You have impact in probably more ways than you realise!

[@ChasingaPlate]

Kia ora Micah, thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to write. Your words really humbled us. It’s absolutely what we’re about- kai as a way to connect with others and something that should be enjoyed and as you say appreciated. Food is love 😍 Hope you like what we have coming up on the channel. Happy weekend mate. Cheers, Sheena

[@5cats2kids8]

The hangi just looks amazing! Dan dan noodles and the pork dumplings are something I’ll never say no to! All my favorites! 🤤

[@ChasingaPlate]

It was awesome getting to eat it prepared the traditional way! Oh gosh, I’m the same dan dan noodles and dumplings- that’s comfort food right there! Thanks for watching and commenting 5cats 2kids! Hope you enjoyed seeing a bit of our home city 😄 Cheers, Sheena

What an excellent showcase of the different cultures that make up Aukland. A bit of everything, definitely whets the appetite for travellers to NZ and locals alike. How easy is it to overlook the sensations in our own backyards. The Chaat really looked exactly as it does in India, looked just like your transported back to Mumbai..... but the price!! That was more onpoint with buying a Coffee at the base of the Eiffel Tower🤔😪 Made Aloo Puri the other night.... and put the Sev on the dish correctly thanks to "learning to eat with T & S". Loved this 4 part special back home.👍

[@ChasingaPlate]

🤣🤣🤣 omg I know, every time we return home we balk at the prices. It definitely takes a lot of getting used to! The flavours in the chaat were so on point though. Your aloo puri sounds delectable! 🤤🤤🤤

*_Hāngi_* - Obviously you two know about Hawaiian kalua pig/pork which is also cooked underground. Lots of work and no space so most restos use traditional kitchen methods as Thomas mentioned. Delicious. Very cool to see the sides that were served with the pork...stuffing! That was a surprise. *_Eden Noodles Cafe_* - I'd be all over those noodles and dumplings. Mmm, mmm. Is pavlova not really popular these days or not your favorite? I was hoping it would make an appearance. Another fantastic day! NZ flew by.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Tosh, thanks for watching this one mate! Yes! Would love to give the Hawaiian version a taste one day. Is it easy to find do you know? Or is it relegated to the tourist dining experience- ie booking into the special Hawaiian umu feast at the hotel? You’d love those noodles and dumplings I’m sure- we eat there every time we’re home! So happy you enjoyed the NZ series mate. Ahhh pav is a real favourite in our house but we always make it at home- maybe we’ll do a short cooking segment in our next NZ series so we can include it 😄😍 thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena

[@tosht2515]

Super casual *_Hawaiian Plate_* restaurants are in every city on the mainland USA and kalua pork is easily the most popular meat. A Hawaiian plate is choice of protein plus white rice and a scoop of mac salad - top 10 comfort food right there. Poke is the current popular Hawaiian food but kalua pork is the all time champ. But yes, traditional kalua (which means cooked in the ground 😀) is rare. The Polynesian center in Honolulu does it that way but like Hāngi, I imagine it's more backyard or special events. *_Pavlova_* - Glad you love it. I certainly read about pav before my trip to Sydney. It's not the first dessert people think about in the U.S. so would have been cool to hear your thoughts.

[@ChasingaPlate]

That sounds brilliant! Hawaiian Plate restaurants! Not something I've heard of before. Thanks so much for the info 😀 Ahhh yes, poke is all the rage in NZ right now!

Wow, living among 200+ ethnicity must be amazing. Their food & cultures must be one of the many things to inspire you guys to become food vloggers. Love the Chaat ! Going for it today. Also can't wait for you guys to visit India again. See you guys soon hopefully.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Absolutely Rahul Marksole, the diversity is amazing! Oh gosh the chaat took us right back to India- we dream about the food all the time 😍 can’t wait to return soon. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Hope you’ve enjoyed the NZ series. Cheers, Sheena

It is amazing to know so many cultures. However, it is often difficult for people from non-native cultures to replicate some of their important dishes because the ingredients just aren't available in the country, so they either make substitutes when they can or they can't make the dish altogether. Also, some of the same produce can differ from the produce from the origin, for eg the mustard greens grown in Australia tend to be much less bitter than the ones in Asia and some fruits tend to be less intense than the ones from Asia.

We LOVE samosa chaat! The mix of flavors from the samosa itself along with all the chickpeas, sauces and chutneys. Really blends so well together

[@ChasingaPlate]

The best right! Everything just works so well together. We had a few really good ones while in Auckland. This and a my fancy version from a restaurant. Love it! - Thomas 😀

I hope someday to visit Auckland 😍 greetings from indonesia 👋

[@ChasingaPlate]

We hope you can one day soon. Thanks so much for watching this one mate. Cheers, Thomas 😀

[@FoodandFootprints]

Awesome that you get the mix of New Zealand of the pie with the Polynesian flavors. Taro leaves and coconut milk...yum!

[@ChasingaPlate]

That pie was something else. Such a great combo. Really bold in it's flavour and it really worked in a pie. 😋

[@susandibble3525]

Not as saucy as the ones you had in India though, more time to eat them 😊

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hahaha very true! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one Susan. It was neat sharing our home town with you all in this video. Hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena

[@MsKestrela]

Lovely to see you enjoying the diversity of your home town! Everything you ate looked and sounded amazing. And I was completely swept away by the scenery of your beautiful country. Thanks for taking us along!

[@ChasingaPlate]

😍😍😍 so, so glad you enjoyed the series MsKestrela! We love how diverse Auckland is so it was neat getting to share it and our favourite eats whenever we’re home! Hope you like what we have coming up next! Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Cheers, Sheena

[@brilliantbutblue]

Im going to wing it here and suggest that the Maoris would not traditionally serve Hangi with the addition of Mesculin leaves.... toss them to the seagulls🕊 on the Wharf and DIG IN to the good stuff!🐷

[@ChasingaPlate]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 it was supposed to be watercress but I think they ran out dang it! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one Brilliant But Blue! Cheers, Sheena

[@penepatitenor]

I love your channel!!!! But man, streetfood at restaurant prices (chaat) daaaaayum... dont know about that.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks mate. We’re glad you’re enjoying the videos. Sure isn’t the same as the prices on the streets of India. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas 😀

[@penepatitenor]

@@ChasingaPlate I know! It's tough... but hey, I'll still give it a go hahaha

[@ChasingaPlate]

😄👊

[@OwenSaysGo]

Just watched this now guys - during our Auckland quarantine lockdown! Can't wait to get out of here and start eating 😂 Definitely adding Eden Noodles to our list of places to check out. We also have an Indian Chaat place in Durban, we love it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2eYkmt_msSobJY

[@ChasingaPlate]

Haha bet you guys are raring to go! We have to get back to Eden Noodles soon too- my mouth is watering just thinking about their food. Thanks for watching guys, the countdown until you're out is on! Cheers, Sheena

[@edsmaronmusic]

I have been looking forward to watching this one! Yeah, I hung out a lot at the harbor by the Hangi place. I was staying nearby, lots of great food options. Is Eden Noodles in Mt. Eden? I climbed to the top of that peak. Also, I want that pie right now!!!

[@ChasingaPlate]

It is indeed Ed Smaron, near the bottom of it, on Dominion Rd :) You'll have to visit next time! It's so beautiful down by the water. Hope this brought back great memories of your recent trip mate. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena

[@rickwagner9032]

Loved it ! New Zealand's always been on my list of places to visit. After seeing this video, Auckland just jumped up the list. What a beautiful city and now with the great food, I have even more reason to go.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Totally rick wagner! It’s such a diverse city and the food scene is great. Hope you get to visit soon- it’s a beautiful place (even though we are biased!) 😍 thanks for watching and commenting! Hope you enjoy the rest of the NZ series! Cheers, Sheena

[@BrendaBenoit]

So glad that you guys are back. You presented us with such a diverse array of food. Loved it!

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks for checking this one out! We're so glad to be back and we're loved posting this New Zealand series of videos. So neat getting to show off a bit of home! Auckland has so much food so we really enjoyed getting to show a few of our favourites. Thanks again for watching! Cheers, Thomas 😀

[@charles6343]

离开奥克兰五年了 倒霉路的四川担担面印象太深刻了 喜欢他家的担担面和钟水饺

[@ChasingaPlate]

They're so good right?! We've been eating there for many years now and the quality has been so consistent. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena

[@FoodandFootprints]

Sheena grinning from ear to ear while carrying that plate of Hāngi

[@ChasingaPlate]

SOOOO happy. We couldn't wait to get into that Hāngi!

[@mariaandbryan]

Love that you show how they are making those 🥟 ... you said spicy? Oh noooo 🥵 The noodles look good !! But I can’t stop thinking about how’s spicy it is and you are saying the peppercorns make your mouth numb... 🙈 But it looks soooo good

[@ChasingaPlate]

Super spicy and super tasty! We really enjoy very spicy food and these really hit the spot. Love that numb tongue 😛 We highly recommend it. - Thomas 😀

[@keithmasumoto9698]

I'm loving this series! Thank you for showing us NZ. That palusami looks so good. NZ Palm corned beef is the best canned cb, after all. Maori cooking method with hot stones - sounds exactly like the Hawaiian imu - must be a Polynesian connection there. And those Indian snacks are so mouth-watering!

[@ChasingaPlate]

So glad you've enjoyed the New Zealand videos. We're so happy we got to head home for a while and film these. We're very proud Kiwis so it's really nest being able to show off some of the food from NZ. That pie really was amazing. Such a unique pie. Hāngi is a really neat way of cooking. Gives a great flavour to the food and yes just like the imu. There are a few ideas about where the Maori arrived in NZ from and one of the thoughts is from the Americas. Love that place for Indian chaat also. Great restaurant! Thanks very much for watching and commenting. Cheers, Thomas 😀

[@Noway-sg8md]

The hangi kind of reminds me of traditional American Thanksgiving dinner. Very interesting to see it available at a restaurant in a take-out container since I haven't ever witnessed that here in America, although we all eat a pretty similar plate at least once a year ;P

[@ChasingaPlate]

😄😄😄 I can totally see how it would remind you of Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks for watching No way, hope you enjoyed the video mate. Cheers, Sheena

[@adityabrothers7139]

Love u all from India

[@ChasingaPlate]

Big love back mate! Thanks for watching! Hope we can return to India one day soon. Cheers, Sheena

[@jonathanso1052]

[@annielow95]

Omg can I please have the address for Polusami pies looks so yum!! 🤤

[@ChasingaPlate]

[@funnyshortsvine3725]
