Circus Circus

11 July, 2011

I guess I was bound to put this one up. Who wouldn’t. I’ve seen blogs outside of NZ talking about this place! It’s Circus Circus, located in the  heart of Mt Eden Village. It’s easily noticeable and parking is not hard to find. I’ve been here a few times already and tried many things – particularly breakfast-related food. Here are some of the samples:

Baked Beans with Poached Eggs ($14.90).

Panfried Field Mushrooms ($16.90).

Gourmet Beef Burger ($17.90).

Mixed Grill ($17.90).

As you can see, presentation-wise, it’s top notch. Taste-wise, I can’t complain. It’s the usual cafe-style food. I think the the price is very reasonable. The atmosphere is great with unique decor. It can be quite deceiving seeing the place from outside and think it’s small, when in fact, it’s very deep. So, don’t worry if you see lots of people, there’s plenty of space inside. I’m a big fan of baked beans, so always like to have them for breakfast. Mixed grill is always going to be my favourite because it has everything. Otherwise, you can go for smaller options.The beef burger is not too bad. Coffee is 4.90 (a bit of the high side, but good coffee).

If you have the Entertainment book – use it! You get one free meal.

Overall, great place and worth a try. Rating = 8.5/10.

Happy New Year!

5 March, 2010

You’re thinking what? Well, it’s for Chinese New Year, which was actually like two weeks ago.

Apologies for the lack of updates – I was travelling in Malaysia! :) Soon my friends, I will be back. At the moment, I’m feeling a little lazy.

At the moment, enjoy life and have a Happy Chinese New Year (belated!).

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

27 December, 2009

I apologise for my absence. Work has been priority in the last 2 months. Also, I had the in-laws around and that takes a lot of effort.

I just wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays! I will be back soon.

February Findings

15 February, 2009

A quick post. 

I have observed one thing recently. As I was walking in Sylvia Park, I noticed that Theobroma has some specials in their store (lower prices for some of their beverages). Good on ya! Business seems good as well.

Some places that I’ve been to are still grossly overpriced (some by over 20 to 30%), I won’t mention who, but you were reviewed previously! Shame on you!
