Firstly the cinnamon doughnuts smelt strongly like ketchup and tasted of it too idk if make dogs or burgers but should never taste like condiments or meat period, secondly my chocolate custard stuffed ones tasted sour which is fkd up custard should not be sour. However the biscoff shake tasted fine but if thats a large i was ripped off my service was long awaited but uber driver dropped off accordingly overall my rate for manukau is 4 out of 10. Oviously your lacking in hygiene standards and thats a big fat no in fast food chain. I advice to retrain everyday to emphasize quality and presentation especially if lack in quantity over value and i was sooo excited when my love got me this too.

IMAGINE... 1 dozen HOT Original Glazed Doughnuts…read more A Chocolate, Vanilla or Caramel Thickshake. An Apple Crumble Doughnut filled with Custard. A Chocolate Iced Doughnut with Sprinkles. Doughnuts which look and taste like our iconic Vanilla Slice. A Choc Honeycomb Shake with Whipped Cream and Chocolate Sauce. Kookies N Kreme Doughnuts. An Original Glazed Shake with Whipped Cream and a Mini Doughnut. If any of the above salivates your tastebuds, then you will love the new arrival of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, which landed in New Zealand earlier this year! A few months' ago, I was invited to the media launch of the new Krispy Kreme store in Manukau. This world-famous doughnut and coffee chain first opened in 1937, and the brand is still going strong, having celebrated its 80th birthday last year (on 13 July). There are over 1,000 stores around the world - with New Zealand now in the mix, 35 countries selling these divine doughnuts! Walking into Krispy Kreme, the store is absolutely HUGE! To the left, you can see the full production line through glass windows. Rows and rows of doughnuts moving along the conveyor belt... I could literally stand here gawking for hours! There is also plenty of seating (booths and tables), the decor is super cool, and of course, the doughnuts are all colourfully decorated on display for you to buy. There are 13 doughnut flavours to choose from, such as Original Glazed, Caramel Iced, Vanilla Slice, Apple Custard Crumble, Kookies N Kreme, Tiramisu and Strawberry Jam. Doughnuts range from $3 to $3.50 and if you get a box (say 4, 12 or 24), the price is cheaper per doughnut. Coffee, Milkshakes and Thickshakes are on the menu too, but also... KREME SHAKES. We were lucky enough to try two of them last Friday - Choc Honeycomb, topped with whipped cream, honeycomb and swirls of chocolate sauce, and my favourite - the Original Glazed Kreme Shake, topped with whipped cream and a mini glazed doughnut. The best part? It tastes EXACTLY like an Original Glazed Doughnut... in liquid form. Swoon. I am so excited about Krispy Kreme. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Denny's Manukau doesn't serve amazing food and there can be a massive wait if you don't get there…read moreearly, but I just don't seem to stay away. It's just that place that you go to where you know the food will good and it'll fill you up. You can order breakfast whenever you like and its open 24 hours- maximum convenience! The service here is quite average- its usually pretty busy here so I can understand the staff are sometimes running around in a frenzy- so don't expect killer service. It's always good coming in a group as you can always amuse yourselves to pass the time. I was here a few nights ago with a friend and even though we had to wait ten minutes for a table (it was packed), our food was in front of us after 10-15 minutes. I ordered the surf and turf- this is my favourite main here because you get everything- steak with special sauce and shrimp, vegetables and fries. Their buffalo wings are also excellent! I really couldn't fault these. Ever. As far as dessert goes, an oreo sundae is a must. That sundae is great and for it's price, you can't get much better anywhere else. If you've got a family with a few children and you're looking for an inexpensive meal, I'd try Denny's. They accommodate for a big groups and if a child dines with a paying adult, they eat for free from the kids menu. You really can't get better value than that!

On arrival you'll get a sample of the flavour of the week, and they also let you sample any flavours you like if you're stuck in a rut. I don't indulge in ice cream too much, but when I do I like going to Wendy's. The staff here are so friendly and the couple that runs the kiosk are lovely- I see them there most days of the week so I can tell they're pretty hard workers and keep that place running. My favourite flavour has to be Bailey's Scorched Almond. That flavour is there all-year round and I couldn't be more thankful. It's a rich, creamy vanilla (and Bailey's) with the most delicious scorched almond pieces scattered throughout. Yes, it's heaven. Two scoops is more than enough (at least for one sitting). The chocolate mega shake is so tasty and its great when I want something filling that I can have with crazy chocolate bits on top. Kids will love this place and its certainly a treat for the adults too.

But the one I had yesterday was bland. I remeber the supa shakes being thicker....this shake I got was not at all thick. It was basically a cheap milk shake with a scoop of ice cream. You really expect more for something that is almost $7! Maybe the US shakes has just spolit me... or maybe Wendys shakes just suck now. Anyways asked for an extra cup and was told that itll be 30c.... no thank you I already paid 7$ for your supa lame shake.

New Zealand Natural is a Kiwi staple and you can find them almost anywhere! The kiosk in Manukau…read morehas had quite a few makeovers over the years and at the moment its looking brand-spanking new. The menu has seen a few changes- I sorely miss their Passionfruit Power smoothie, still the best smoothie in the entire world!- but for the most part they've kept it consistent and I still enjoy visiting this place. It's located on the quieter side of the mall but this place is usually buzzing. New Zealand Natural is home to the famous chillo which you can get in coffee and non-coffee flavours. These were a favourite of mine when I was younger and its great to see them still on the menu! The best flavour has to be either cookies & cream or white chocolate raspberry- you just can't go wrong! The reason this place is so good is the ice cream- it's award-winning and its delicious. Their sorbets are always perfectly creamy and they always do classic flavours really well. Walnut butterscotch, mint chocolate kisses and superfruit sorbet are just a few I've tried recently and fallen in love with!

The shabby exterior really leaves little to be desired, but as far as yum cha goes, VR Baker's Restaurant has to be some of the best in Auckland. There are no trolleys dashing by; rather, the waitresses carry around platters of piping hot bamboo steamers by the dozen. I've only visited twice so am still eating my through their dim sum goodies, but so far, I have yet to be disappointed! All the usual suspects are here, including siu mai, BBQ pork buns, pork spareribs, congee, steamed dumplings, innards and feet. They also have other, less common goodies like the sticky rice balls, which I prefer over the banana-leaf wrapped version and are definitely worth a try. I highly recommend the siu mai - they're uber succulent and a prime example of how they should be! As for dessert, the egg tarts are really good as well, but even better are their baked custard buns. If you can't find something you like from what's being carried around, you can ask for a dim sum menu (complete with coloured pictures!) and they will cook to order as well. So communication may be a little strained because many of the waitresses don't speak great English, but the staff are friendly and fast at filling up tea and clearing the tables. And VR Baker's is a bakery too, stocking not only the typical cakes and sandwiches in their cabinets, but also the dim sum offerings. Affordable, huge portions, fast and delicious, VR Baker's Restaurant truly is a hidden gem and is fast becoming my number one pick for yum cha in Auckland!
