East Auckland Gems - Delicious Donuts, Mangemangeroa + Waitawa Regional Park, NEW ZEALAND

[@conradf2747]

Thanks for the video! I spent a year in NZ, and most of the time was based out of East Auckland. This brought back good memories. I love how unique the countryside is around the city.

[@PeterandYen]

Hi Conrad glad we were able to bring back some good memories for you 🤙 have a great week ahead

[@marklin605]

Thank u so much for the video and we will visit there too,u guys already done the picking jobs,there is no excuse for us not to visit.I really appreciate it,have a good one,cheers cheers!!

[@PeterandYen]

Glad you enjoyed it Mark 😊 Definitely go check out these places.. great time to enjoy it all especially in summer ✌ If you end up trying the donuts, let us know what you got hahah 😁

[@denisetewhata8867]

Auckland is a city, with nature all around, the best of both worlds

[@PeterandYen]

💯! Auckland is so underrated for its nature

[@bye692001]

Peter and Yen starting the day with the ultimate breakfast of champions, absolutely love it, can't get enough of those donuts, well worth the price. Thanks for the video

[@PeterandYen]

The donuts 🍩 are def good value. Having the warm cinnamon donut has changed my standard for donuts now 😂

[@ChandySaoStreeteats]

Yes! I love donuts! Especially freshly baked ones. Peters reaction shows how great they would of been!

[@PeterandYen]

Donuts for breakfast why have we not been doing this earlier 😂

[@nickandhelmi]

9:29 is just serenity, something about sunset thaat just gets me man :D

[@PeterandYen]

👌 it's just the best

[@PuriandSue]

starting the video with some delicious donuts! Probably we'll order some donuts right after this for a nice yummy snack lol. Love the blue skies and fluffy clouds, greeneries, miss the outdoor basically lol! such a peaceful lake, surprised to see boats there too. Such a lovely sight. Awwwwh that beautiful blue sea view! From the wharf it has such incredible view, I could chill here all day!

[@PeterandYen]

We really love the clouds and sky in NZ too 🙂 whenever we're traveling and then return to NZ it's probably the thing that sticks out noticeably.. it's really blue.. and clouds really white.. no pollution or fogginess to the sky. Hope you guys can get out of lockdown soon 🤞🍀 Stay safe and take care ❤️

[@tjones3846]

I love your videos with the more local spots as an Auckland resident - thanks for the hidden gem recommendation!

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks for watching our local Auckland videos Teresa. We always enjoy showcasing our home city too 💙

[@rob1971]

Waitawa Regional Park looks beautiful, and so quiet! ❤️

[@PeterandYen]

😁 it was a great recommendation, big park with stunning coast lines.

[@jessicat4934]

Guys!! You had me at those donuts *drool drool*. I always enjoy your content, another great vid showcasing our gorgeous motu.

[@PeterandYen]

😂👍 yesss fellow donut 🍩 lover do you have a favorite place?

[@jessicat4934]

@@PeterandYen Knead in New Plymouth does the yummiest donuts. And up here in Auckland - i gotta say the classic cream & raspberry donut at Bluebells Cakery in Hillsborough. To 👏🏾 Die 👏🏾 For 👏🏾

[@PeterandYen]

Ooo awesome thanks for the recommendations gonna put both these places on the bucket list

[@TorrellTafa]

MY HOOD!! Been in East Auckland my whole life and you guys just showed me things I've never heard of 😂 YUS!

[@PeterandYen]

Ehhh didn't know you grew up out East too. Btw your talks with Johnny have been crack up 😁

[@Becca.Loveless]

Another lovely video. Felt the tranquility while watching ☺️

[@PeterandYen]

😁 that's our local region, it's funny cause just down the road from the first park are the suburbs but then you drive out a lil more and you get rolling farm land as far as the eye can see 👀

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Starting the day with donuts, that's the right way! 😉 They look delicious! I could hear that soft crunch 🤤

[@PeterandYen]

😂 💯 dessert breakfast

[@Why.not.so.serious]

Bright and sunny. Weather looks awesome with clear blue skies. Pleasant winter day

[@PeterandYen]

Perfect winter day 👌

[@SeoulMan2020]

Fresh cut grass and sea mist? I'm in😁! 🍩🍩🍩 looked so soft and yummy 😋. Was super nice of them to bring out the cinnamon ones (were you guys already all sugared out? I guess it's a weird spot because it's really nice, but then you kinda feel like you have to eat them right there when they'd be super yummy after a short sugar break or after a hike... I dunno, maybe it's my Asian 🧠). Very serene spots today... good way to spend my Sunday afternoon day dreaming about looking for creatures along an empty NZ beach😁. Thanks guys, and as always, safe travels!!

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha I was going to buy another donut anyway, my sugar tolerance is pretty high probably cause sometimes I wake up and down 2 rows of whittikas chocolate 🍫 😂😂 Yen on the other hand takes way less sugar so she was on a bit of a rush for a few hours. Lucky me I got to eat a bit of her glazed and cinnamon too 🤤🤤🤤 We went back a week after to get a pack of 6 to bring to our friends place for an after hotpot feed 👍😁

[@newsfiles2996]

GREAT JOB GUYS, I want to go to Auckland after watching your video.

[@PeterandYen]

You should Auckland is awesome 👌

[@FoodandFootprints]

Love the peaceful sunset vibes

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks mate 🤙

[@nikkilogan7726]

you guys should be travelling with chill places like this. So peaceful, so tranquil, chill vibes like you guys 😎🇳🇿 Thanks P&Y 💖✌️

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha suits yen n I cause we generally like to have nothing much kinda days see some nice sights eat some nice food and hang out 10/10 day easy 😁

[@emmali2265]

Hi Peter and Yen, my partner and I went to Mangemangeroa reserve yesterday after watching your video. Good place to explore. We had a long walk there. ♥️♥️

[@PeterandYen]

O that's great to hear glad you enjoyed the walk. It's a really nice spot right in the suburbs ❤

[@gsf67]

I grew up in Central West Auckland, and the rugged West Auckland beaches and bush walks were my playground when I was younger, however, the South Eastern Bays are pretty much unexplored by me. I will take my wife to Waitawa Regional Park tomorrow. Cheers

[@PeterandYen]

That's awesome! Hope you enjoyed your time there 😊👍👍

[@Andy_M986]

Writing all this down,my next trip home, drooooooool.

[@PeterandYen]

😁🤙 who doesn't love good donuts 🍩

[@TwoHungryDiners]

You guys really lives in the most liveable city in the world in 2021! (Melbourne placed 9th this year 😅) Must be nice to see many beautiful sceneries in the suburbs of Auckland. Thanks for sharing with all of us 👍🏻 Peter’s explanation about East Auckland bush is very convincing! Wish you guys can bottle it up and send it over here so we can smell it too 😄

[@PeterandYen]

Hmmm maybe that's a business idea bottled NZ air with fragrance from different areas 🤔 you're onto something here

[@arstiahsu793]

Love the vastness of this place😍 thanks Peter Yen for sharing.😘

[@PeterandYen]

No worries thanks for checking out our eat Auckland video Aristah 😁

[@HangryByNature]

Yuuuuuuumm some bomb donuts! great recommendation! The walking trek is really nice. So peaceful and quiet. Ooooo the same with Waitawa Regional Park. It's so chill. So beautiful on sunset.

[@PeterandYen]

😁 turned out to be an awesome day in our home suburb 👌 days like this always end up turning out really nice and memorable

[@anaedwards6451]

Yesss to local beaches bringing back memories! Mine is Weymouth beach and Maraetai. Thanks for showing mangemangeroa walkway to Shelley beach!!!

[@PeterandYen]

Great beaches! 👍👍 That Mangemangeroa was a nice surprise... honestly thought that was private land for the longest of time 😅

[@napoleonnz]

Very enjoyable, Howick is a great suburb (like a separate village) for combining the amenities of a city with the pleasures of waterfront, countryside and bush. Must visit Waitawa regional park soon. Apparently it was formerly closed to public access as the jetty was used as a place to unload explosives.

[@PeterandYen]

💥💥💥 that's quite the fact 😅 you're right though east Auckland has a lot to offer. For us it was a case of sometimes you live somewhere too long you forget to look in your own back yard for great sights.

[@FoodandFootprints]

Donuts for breakfast - why not? Gotta say that the lemon curd caught my eye. Definitely a plus when it isn’t overly sweet. Absolutely love cinnamon on fried dough - magical combo

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha I went back and got the lemon curd a week later it was delicious mmmm cinnamon is one of my favorite too

[@thisisgenofeve]

Yummy I heard the crunch when you bit into the cinnamon one. We use to go Shelly beach all the time when I was a kid. Great video guys

[@thisisgenofeve]

Also, I like your outfit Yen 👌🏽

[@PeterandYen]

😁 the ladies were so nice the freshly made v cinnamon donuts were delicious 🤤 yen says thanks she's eating mee goreng 😂

[@barryeldridge2998]

brilliant once again made my sunday , will be so lost when you guys ever give up. i am so so envious thought the jetty you found at the end lookedv a great place to fish , but no one there thats the amazement of N.Z. and those doughnuts looked lush too lol. take care and keep these rays of sunshine coming ok.

[@PeterandYen]

Hey Barry hope you've been taking care over there in UK. Hahaha yes that's new Zealand for you.. lots of places are pristine and quiet. Tom Bromfield who also comments and follows the channel mentioned that when he went on the weekend it was a lot busier. No plans to stop for the next few years so you're good there 😁

[@ivyamplifier1829]

Thank you for sharing. Really enjoy watching this.

[@PeterandYen]

No worries Ivy thank you for watching 😁 ✌

[@raywayski]

Not sure how I missed this “East” Auckland vlog! The donuts look amazing! I may have to get one in the morning! 🤣🤣🤣

[@PeterandYen]

Donut is the perfect way to start the morning 😁👌

[@mariaandbryan]

Donuts or cookies for breakfast is the most common thing to eat in Spain lol It looks so soft and comfy, like I wanna sleep in the donut hahaha. Cinnamon donuts are underrated, they are amazing. That smells must be awesome, love just cut grass, reminds me of my childhood. Green is always good lol What a wonderful place and the sun setting gives such an amazing look. That is a whole villa, it should be a retreat for our YT family lol

[@PeterandYen]

😂 that would be such a cool get away on an island. We will be taking KZbin travel stories all day 👍 be so cool. Hmmmm Spain sounds like my kinda country, donuts 🍩 for brekkie is awesome way to start the day 🤤

[@darylmckay]

Stunning and much warmer scenery. I can recommend when next in Christchurch checking out Governors Bay, Akaroa, Orton Bradley Park and nearby areas.

[@PeterandYen]

Awesome thanks for the recommendation Daryl, going on our to do list 🤙

Donuts to start the day is such a Chicago thing to do. Haha Those look legit. Yes to OG donuts! 🍩 You'll definitely want to do a walk after those treats. Beautiful walk. Agree we have favorite local beaches back in Puerto Rico. Thank you for taking us around guys. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

[@PeterandYen]

We'll have to remember that for when we ever get to Chicago hahah... start our days with donuts 🍩👍🤣 looking forward to it already lol 🤣 hope you guys have an awesome week ahead!

Totally jealous of all the nature you guys have access to. Another great vlog guys!

[@SherryRiveraVlogs]

I love how you guys put the location in the description 😊 will visit these places soon 🥰

[@PeterandYen]

😁 that's yen's attention to detail, she likes making sure all the info is available

[@bromie21]

Wow looks like you got Waitawa to yourselves! I chanced upon there after seeing your Duder vid, and it was much busier (it was a Sunday though). There was lots of families around , kids playing on the beach and people fishing off the wharf. Loved the views too! Think you could see all the way to coromandel. I too wondered about the story of that remote house on the island. I just looked up when I went - Sept last year. Time flies!

[@PeterandYen]

😯 oo maybe we were just lucky? We went in the middle of school holidays kinda surprised it wasn't more busy. Only saw maybe 2 or 3 other groups our entire time there. Hmmmm still curious about that house 🤔 too

[@rlim9947]

Waitawa Regional Park is lovely indeed. Very tranquil. Likely Shelly Beach. Good video guys.

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks glad you enjoyed the east Auckland vlog 😁👍

[@robhaunui3343]

@@PeterandYen TBH,it's too close a call between Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kreem,as there are 2 outlets in close vicinity to home so its usually a confusing exercise to get donuts,but I guess Dunkin Donuts as they've been around longer.But the place you guys went to looked great

Yeaaaaa! Team dunkin all the way hahahaha. I pick them cause I prefer the Boston cream that they have
