Kiwi Kitchen

So my friend Marika was in town and we decided to do a little Sunday brunch. It's nice that the Kiwi Kitchen in Fulham is actually open at brunch hours (11, as opposed to noon). I haven't actually been to a New Zealand restaurant, so this was going to be exciting. And it was!

To start we had some NZ green-lipped mussels. Half-dozen lightly pickled with ti-toki, lindauer and kawakawa, and the other half with coconut, chilli, coriander, and lime leaf. Really delicious.

My brunch was very tasty: roast lamb hash with kumara, onions, fried egg & watercress on flat bread. The only issue was that the maori flat bread on which it was served was a tad rock-hard in places and thus very hard to cut.

And of course, we couldn't skip some kiwi dessert.
Marika had the kiwi kitchen passionfruit pavlova with feijoa, kiwi and berries,
while I went with sautéed manuka honey vodka spiced bananas, thick ‘n’ fluffy pancake with hokey pokey ice cream.
