Viki Cafe – Vietnamese in One Tree Hill
Pho pho pho – popular, but all pretty same-same tasting at the Auckland restaurants in my experience. So when my friend described Viki as having the best pho in Auckland, I realised it was time to drop by and re-evaluate. Continue reading Viki Cafe – Vietnamese in One Tree Hill

It’s running right now, in … Continue reading Taste of Puketāpapa: a food festival for hungry cheapskates
