Copper Room

Since Takapuna branch has been doing pretty good in the first month of opening, we decided that we should go out celebrate. So, last night we went for dinner at Shahi Cafe - an indian cuisine in Milford. I had Sea Chess - it's the name of the dish which was a comination of seafood, fish, calamari, spice & herbs and tamarind sauce. I had no confident when I made the order since I had bad experience with Indian food before, but the dish turned out over and above expectation. I give it 4.5 rating out of 5.

Straight after dinner, we headed off to Copper Room. It's a pub/restaurant down at Takapuna beach. It's a place that reflects Kiwi culture. Everything has some element of Kiwiana, from the food right down to the music.
Tuesday night is quiz night. Each team put forward their preferred name and a type of question they think they have best knowledge of. Some questions I wouldn't have a clue of, especially when it comes to music and artist names, it can be as old as before I was born.
However, we did pretty good, our team came third and was given 5 free glass of wine vouchers.
One of the questions I was most interested in was "Which nation am I? I am in Central America and have the third largest economy in the region. I am the only place where Golden Frogs live and rainy season runs from May through November". See if you can answer this question without googling!

Overall, it was a fun night.
