Words cannot express how good these chips are. If I was a potato this is how I would want to end. The till used to be cash only, but now has EFTPOS and Paywave. The prices are going up (just like everywhere else) which is a bit sad, but the frier food is good. The bami goreng isn't to my taste – not enough chilli, made with curry powder instead, and the {broccoli, cauliflower, and carrot} is soft like it was pre-steamed to mush.. but that might be how you like it? I hear a lot of Kiwis do. Friendly efficient service from these hardworking folks; an honest, no-frills fish'n'chip. Always there when I need them!
