We’re Thomas and Sheena, food and travel fiends. We travel full time, hunting for the BEST local food in the world to showcase via our YouTube videos. Food is a window into a country's culture and one of the most exciting ways to get to know a place.
We're all about eating what and where the locals eat. You won't find food that's been created merely to be social media worthy on here- no rainbow bagels, gold leaf soft serves- just genuine, authentic food that tastes incredible.
From street food to mom and pop restaurants, we want to show you the best and most authentic food we find on our travels.

@
@yuqa303last yearJust want to say a big thank you for putting in the effort of pronouncing ‘Uyghur’ as accurate as you could. We are often mispronounced as ‘wee-ger’ , and a lot of people don’t realise how damaging it is to our Uyghur identity and culture. ...3

@johntepu18692 years agoDominion Rd is truly iconic. It has always been known for it’s variety of different cuisines, brings back memories 2

@
@brilliantbutblue3 years agolve heard of Uyghur cuisine but never seen it before, what an absolute privilege for you guys to be able to try the food and see how the Chefs prepare such rare dishes!! (Do they have an English Menu?) NZ climate certainly lends itself to these hearty dishes. I got the giggles when Thomas "spilt the tea" aghh yes there is one in every family 🤭. Bring on Thailand street food with friends!!! ...2
@
@Nico-ze2gl3 years agoGreat vid guys! I used to work in a Thai restaurant there in NZ. I miss their curries and pad thais! I also miss the sushis there in NZ. I think New Zealand has one of the best sushis in the world 6

@fizzguts3 years agoWow such good food. I can feel yet another 4 hour return road trip to eat at a restaurant you recommend coming up. We have not been disappointed! 3
@
@TheWorldHasGoneNuts3 years agoI give you a solid 10/10 for pronouncing Uyghur/Uygur perfectly. NZ was somewhere I was saving up for pre-Covid, along with Auz, but those plans went to crap. One day... One day. 1

@GallivantingGals3 years agoWow! That all looks delicious! The meat tower looked like it was a huge amount of lamb. Thanks for sharing 3

@bbyah.59833 years agoThis is my neighborhood. Thai restaurant is better than the same food in Thailand (I'm a Thai who went to study in New Zealand) Tom Yum Eden Cook the most delicious Thai food 5

@dalem65972 years agoYou guys need to try the Thai food at the Clevedon Farmers market. Best in NZ by far 😋 1
@
@andrewschirmer38492 years agoA great watch loved it thanks. I live just off Dominion Rd and have been wanting to try the Uyghur restaurant, but only myself and youngest eat lamb. My wife dislikes it. Maybe I’ll have a sneaky dinner for two. The Thai restaurant looks fab I’m going to go this week. I’m from Adelaide Australia and must admit we are disappointed with Thai and especially Vietnamese food here. ...1
@
@Michael_Sheldon3 years agoSheena, you were delivering some ASMR realness with that beautiful Uyghur food! That lamb made my mouth water. And speaking of moreish—your vlogs have that effect on me. I crave more and more! Sending love and light. 🙌❤️ 2
@
@genecanty37733 years agoThank you for doing this video it’s been really hard to find a good original Thai restaurant 3
@
@tosht25153 years agoUyghur - Had only once so am really unfamiliar with the cuisine. Never knew about the street pies or the meat rack. 😀 Kaisendon - Prefer Ikura over Tobiko but that would bump up the price. Still, perfect looking lunch. 🐟🦐🍚 Isaan - Som Tam, larb and sausages! Awesome Northern Thailand rep. Uyghur Human Rights - Since ya’ll are acutely concerned with these issues, thoughts? In the news regularly. ...3

@
@debbieblincoe98803 years agoSo my sort of food! The lamb/potato dish i'm sitting here drooling over - is it high in heat with the spices? i LOVE cumin! OMG and the cucumber salad! The pies omg yet somewhere else I need to visit! Now Thai food - looks truly amazing and so authentic! I love everything Thai! The Donuburi looked amazing - i've never tried raw prawn! ...2

@alstyreshaddon26453 years agoHi guys , you have out done yourselves with this series and I love that Dominion road, what a place and I can't wait to get there , but I will have to wait until NZ reopens to us , cheers Alister in Australia. 2

@gnomevoyeur3 years agoYou might be slowly winning me over from the traditional gristle and gravy pie. That Uighur lamb pie does look very good. 3

@doughgirl91573 years agoThanks for the yummy bites and sharing. Take care:} 2
@
@karlaet93 years agoso great to have this food in NZ. my sister went to urumqi a few years ago and it opened my eyes to how diverse the food is in china. will visit next time i'm up in AKL. 2
@
@FoodandFootprints3 years agoWe love Uyghur food! Cumin heavy and perfect for the cold weather 2
@
@ajtpajtp85492 years agoDid you try Sweet Chilli Pt.Chev Restaurant? 1
@
@aprilsmith6013 years agoWe stumbled across that Uyghur restaurant a couple of years ago - wandered in off the street having no idea what kind of food they served. Turned out to be delicious and a go-to place for us. If I was going to recommend two dishes from Jade Town, I'd say definitely get the smashed cucumber salad and the fried lamb and potato dish. (It's usually served with lamb, but they'll do it with beef if you ask them.. both are really delicious). ...1

@soniya-raaini7863 years agoHey dear wow 🥰💟🥰 love to much oh my god yummy fried wow 😋 2
@
@FoodandFootprints3 years agoSeeing those menus in Thai and using Google Translate was a very recent thing for us 😂😂 2

@imLUCY093 years agoyou guys should try raw prawn thai style 1
@
@Alina_Valentina3 years agoare you guys having a warmer winter then last year ?? 2
@
@MsKestrela3 years agoAarrgh! Now I'm craving lamb! It's not a meat favored in my backwoods little town, so I foresee a 50+ mile round trip to get some. :/ Same for sushi. Fortunately, I have to go out to the "big town" tomorrow, so I'll add on a couple of stops to get those "exotic" foods. We're in the middle of a heat wave here, with a heat index of 115F (46C), so extra stops will have to be brief! Good thing my car has great air con... ...1
@
@Andy_M9863 years agoThere is a Uyghur restaurant close to me,tried a couple of dishes,they were delicious. One of my favourite is the Nepalise food,also real close,in fact,I am close to Albany Highway,the closest to Dominion road set up,3 miles of restaurants. ...2

@bye6920013 years agoMulti tasking is clearly not your thing Thomas, but its ok, happens to me all the time, lol. 3

@Pixlanta3 years agoThe Asian. Diaspora in NZ is so big..❤️❤️❤️ 1
@
@ac497063 years agoDefinitely get something from the Thai menu if you want something different from other Thai restaurants, just ask them to translate 😋 most Thai ppl go there for it 🤫 1
@
@mercamry82103 years agoSeem your video quality improve!! it's change camera?🤔 2
@
@andersonkan33773 years agoSashimi of Japan is run by Chinese and I find them not authentic enough in many ways. Good quality ingredients that poorly handled, license restaurant's pricing with a takeaway atmosphere. Lots of room for improvement, need lot more dedication and heart into it aye!! ...1
@
@ivanamarysosichclarke77413 years agoIs the food sponsored or gifted or do you have to pay for everything 🤔 2
@
@beckysu97283 years agoYou need to put on a mask when you go into the kitchen.

@hawkgui3 years agoThat is not pie.we called them kaobaozi(烤包子).
