Tater tots, tomato, fruit, yogurt, coffee. Complimentary
San Francisco (SFO) to Auckland (AKL), Air New Zealand
Airline breakfasts are never good, and this was no exception. The omelet had that weird dry and spongy texture, and the tater tots were super dry too. I didn’t even try the yogurt.
$4 NZD
PokPok Thai Restaurant, Auckland NZ
This roti was pretty good. It was warm and buttery and I liked the slightly crispy and simultaneously chewy texture. The service on the other hand was horrible.
Crispy potato with salmon lox, creme fraiche, dill. $19 NZD
Federal Delicatessen, Auckland NZ
This was pretty good. I liked the salmon and it was nice and thick. The latke was good too but it was definitely on the greasy side.
Breakfast martini: Victor gin, St. Germain elderflower, house grapefruit-infused sugar. $16 NZD
Mimosa: Maude Methode Traditionnelle, orange juice. $15 NZD
$3.50 NZD
Espresso Bar by Atomic, Auckland Airport (AKL)
I liked the look of this cookie, but it was way too sweet. That pink frosting and additional sugar was way too much sucrose. I liked the texture of the cookie though.
Latte. $4.90 NZD
Green beans, potatoes, couscous, roll, cheese and crackers, berry dessert, red wine. Complimentary
San Francisco (SFO) to Auckland (AKL), Air New Zealand
This was ok. There was certainly a lot of food though (they really want you to fall asleep from a food coma). The beef casserole was decent, the potatoes were sad, I didn’t really like the couscous or dessert, but they were liberal with the wine so I was cool. 🙂
Mozzarella blend, feta cheese, fennel sausage, red bell pepper, caramelized onion, arugula. $11.95
Napa Farms Market, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
This pizza was pretty tasty. The toppings were really and I liked the texture of the crust. I just wish there was less crust and that the toppings went further out to the edge. It was a lot of naked bread to chew on when I was expected a pizza.
Peanut butter and jam on wheat toast, mimosa. Complimentary
Alaska Lounge, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA)
Had an early flight to it was nice to have a quick snack and a mimosa to relax with before boarding. Yay!
Salsa verde, queso fresco, sour cream. $3.50
Tropisueno, San Francisco CA
This was a yummy lil bite was really tasty! There wasn’t much of the flauta, but I think the toppings and lettuce help make up for it.
Casade Glacier ice cream. Waffle cone with single scoop. $2.25
Seabolt’s at Deception Pass, Oak Harbor WA
This ice cream was really good, and everyone at the market and deli were super friendly. I thought the price of this ice cream was really great – a nice big scoop for very little money!
Good Mong Kok Bakery, San Francisco CA
Mmm, these dumplings were really tasty and hearty. I don’t think there are actually any shark fin in the dumplings since its illegal in California.
Chicken, bean sprouts, carrots, cilantro, mozzarella, Zeeks peanut sauce, olive oil glaze.
Zeeks Pizza, Lynnwood WA
This pizza was certainly creative, but I’m not sure it was for me. It was really weird to have all that Thai flavor and textures on a pizza (I didn’t choose the flavor). I’m sure other people must enjoy it though.
Chicken salad, boiled egg, blue cheese, bacon, tomato, black olives, cucumber. $8.95
Remlinger Farms, Carnation WA
This salad was very basic, and not that good. The ingredients were prolly low quality and the chicken salad was pretty bland. Hmm…
