A taste of Asia


In our favourite local Chinese restaurant is this mural within the restaurant section. We usually only order takeaways from here such as lemon chicken or prawn chow mein or won tons - they make really nice food. I think it probably reflects the place where the owners perhaps come from well.

Linking up with Mural Monday.

You need to try eating in sometime, enjoy the ambience (and the picture).

I like Chinese food but haven't had in a long time. The painting on the wall is very nice.

A lot of our asian restaurants have a similar motif, and they almost make great food.

I enjoy Chinese food but haven't had any for ages. I must rectify that soon.

That's a beautiful mural, Amy. It reminds me of the water and terrain I have seen in pictures around Hanoi. I am also a big fan of Chinese food.

That's a very classic Chinese landscape, but it's proportioned to Western conventions. Those mountains remind me of many scroll paintings, which are long and narrow. I'd love some of that food!

When you live in a great place and are home-sick at the same time. I can relate, or wish I could.

I live next to a Chinese restaurant, but since it's not to my taste I don't eat there.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

Image
  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too. Linking up with  Through my lens ,  Tuesday Treasures ,  My corner of the world ,  Wordless Wednesday .
