I don't live in Glen Eden, but my cousins do, and whenever I baby sit and we get fish and chips, we…read morealways get it from here. It's not even the closest takeaway shop to their house, it's just far better than the other one. I always judge takeaway shops on their chips and potato fritters. If you can't the chips right, you've failed, no matter how good any of your other food may be, in my honest opinion. Adriactic's chips are great. They are perfectly yellow, perfectly crunchy on the outside and nice and potatoey on the inside. They give you the perfect amount of salt, and they are never that greasy. Their fritters are good too, not too thick and not too much batter. I hate when there's too much potato and it isn't cooked inside, or when there is too much batter it's like a batter fritter, and you're left thinking 'where's the potato!'. Not a long wait time, and it's pretty cheap. Oh and their fish burgers are delicious as well.

However, why was my chicken so stringy? Was that really chicken I ate? And Green Jade if you have been around for so long why do you still have hand written signs on the wall? Some of which have items scrubbed out with a texta (ok, that is an Aussie thing, I have recently heard that it has another name here.. .marker?!). So many questions Green Jade, so many questions...

On the Saturday night we came here, every waiting seat was taken and there were about ten people milling around on the outside, as well as people constantly coming in to pick up phone orders. Golden Bridge is a standard takeaway, but one with great prices - they do a chow mein for five dollars which is full of vegetables, crispy oodles and meat. We ended up going for the silver platter - three meals all dumped on one big metal tray . For less then ten dollars each, Four of us had seconds and some left over for breakfast the next morning. They didn't skimp on the prawns in the combination meat either, which came as a bit of a shock. You know what your getting when you come here, but they do an excellent job of it.

Hot N Juicy Chicken offers an option unparalleled by others in the area. What do they sell here, you ask? The name should give it away. Its Chicken, its Hot, N it's Juicy. I always go for the 3/4 Chicken - buying a whole one seems a bit over the top, buying a half isn't enough. Luckily enough, they sell three quarters. They do a good pack of chips here as well.

If you're looking for typical Polynesian foods, My Samoa in Kelston is a pretty good place to…read morestart. Family run and owned, this little place is on the side street near Kelston Boys High School. West Auckland boasts many similar shops that claim to do "quality" and "traditional" Pacific foods. It can be so hard to find a shop bought meal that will match your mums, grandmas or maybe even your dads Sunday lunch - but My Samoa makes a valiant effort. Their taro is firm (not soggy/low quality) and covered well in coconut cream- $3 for a piece bigger than your hand isn't too bad going. They also sell cooked banana's (fa'i) for $1, again - great price and great taste. They then do a smorgasboard of prepared dishes including lamb flaps, chopsuey, chicken curry and other 'bulk' styled meals that can be bought in $5-$11 dollar chinese takeaway style boxes. They also offer many other samoan delicacies - $5 Luau (taro leaves filled with coconut cream), Panikekes (fried banana doughnuts), Keke Pua'a (pork buns) and much much more. The chopsuey is decent - they use a enough soy sauce for it to be tasty, however they do use some cheap cuts of meat, meaning you may find some small bones throughout your vermicelli. The pumpkin and lamb we tried today was delicious and just needed a bit of seasoning. The taro and banana's were all fantastic and alot better than the ones found down the road in Glendene- so I will definitely be back for that. We also get the fish/coocnut cream dish (Eleni) which was also very nice. If you've ever wanted to try some traditional Island grub, outside of the Pasifika Festival - My Samoa would be a fantastic place to start.

I don't know if I have ever eaten so much food for so little money!…read more I'm told Mr Zhou was the previous owner of New Flavour and plenty of dishes are the similar to what you'll find there but what surprised me is that, contrary to the name, Mr Zhou does a whole heap more than dumplings. Don't worry there's still plenty of those doughy delights but there's also hand-pulled noodles, savoury pancakes and this refreshingly zingy salad of cucumber and tofu that fans of New fFavour will know well. Seriously, how does this man find the time.... The interior isn't much to write home about with only a couple of cheap tables and chairs but the food comes out fresh and fast and of course, there's takeaway. You can even purchase the dumplings frozen for $2 less than the menu price to cook at home. I know what I'll be serving at my next dinner party....

There are only about 3-4 small tables, and the food is served in plastic takeaway containers. On the night we visited they were doing a roaring takeaway trade. The owners used to run New Flavour, so they know their way around homemade dumplings, hand-pulled noodles & tasty Chinese food. The menu is very similar to New Flavour, so dumplings are a must - choose from such flavours, and my personal favourites, of Pork, prawn & chives, Mutton & onion and Egg, chives & prawn. You can order them steamed or fried, or even frozen to take them away & cook at home! Other dish recommendations are: Sliced dried tofu & cucumber salad if you can handle a tangy hit of chilli in the dressing, the Fried pancakes, any of the noodle dishes and the Deep-fried eggplant with pork mince stuffing. In fact, give me time & I'd probably list the entire menu! Would love to hear some other tried & true favourites though. Cheap, cheerful Chinese - you can't go wrong!

It's not a place to drive across town to get to, but it's perfectly good if you're nearby and want a cheap and easy dinner. The smorgasbord is where it's at here: I have ordered off the menu before but it seems to confuse some of the people there, and with a big container of food available for only $6, there's not much point going past the bain marie. Another good point is that because it's busy, the food gets made pretty often, so it's not sitting at food-poising incubating temperature!
