    Oh yes this place takes me back to my high school days when fish and chips were the thing to have…read moreafter school. A few friends and I would make the trip to Henderson mall then after window shopping walk across the road to LJS for something tasty. It would always be the lemon peppered chips, coke and once in a while a fish burger. It was a ritual then we would sit inside and make so much noise I'm sure they wanted to kick us out or close the shop every time they saw us approaching. Now I go to LJS once in a while when I miss some decent chippies.

    I often used to eat fish and chips when I was young in Ireland - it was always on Friday as this is…read morea Catholic tradition. I must say the fish and chips in New Zealand are far nicer than what I got back in the day. I find the fish in chips in Ireland/England tend to be greasy and unpleasant and I gave up eating them when I got older. The fish always tended to be cod which is not half as nice as snapper. Anyway, Long John Silver do a pretty good fish and chips in keeping with the Kiwi tradition. I tend to splash out a bit on the snapper as I find the hoki pretty bland - you can get a fish and chip combo with a drink for about $15. Another thing that LJS do that I only found out recently is breakfast - bacon and eggs that is as you would hardly eat fish for breakfast. They do a basic breakfast for $7.50 and the more elaborate ones are a bit dearer. Good to know if you are on a budget and don't fancy brunch in some poncey cafe.

    2.6 kmTe Atatu South

    This takeaway is just up the road from me but I hardly ever go there. I got fish and chips here…read morewhen I first moved into the area and I found it disappointing. If you are out this way, you are better off going to the Blue Lagoon on Roberts Road if you want fish and chips. I tried their Chinese food as well and again I was non-plussed - what I ate was quite greasy and I did not enjoy it. We're not exactly spoiled for choice for eateries in Te Atatu South but I usually venture further afield (eg to Lincoln Road) if I want takeaway on the weekend. Having said that, I went in and got a portion of hot chips not so long ago and I must say they were quite good. We could do with a good takeaway in the area but until that comes along we have to make do with this joint.

    This is my local takeaway shop, to the point that they know what I order when I call and they know…read moreme by name when I walk in. They're food is delicious, my favourite are their chicken chow mein and bami goreang, and they have the best hot chips. The food comes out really quickly and it's always hot, and they'll cater it to your own specifications. The only thing is that they are a tad bit expensive for a take away shop, and they've put their prices up a few times too. They can get pretty busy because they are quite popular in the area, but they've got enough seats, a TV and heaps of magazines to read while you wait for your order.
