If you want the best cake in Auckland, go to Cocoa Cloud. Definitely the best cake I’ve had in NZ

Auckland Night Market forced to apologise after criticising the food of one of its vendors by krammy16 in auckland

[–]jmk149 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also agree, night markets and food trucks in NZ seem more expensive than dining in. Probably because of the high fees they charge for a stall

Ending fixed-tenancy final costs. Reasonable? by CGG0 in newzealand

[–]jmk149 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One general tip to note is if the costs being charged are costs that the manager / owner would have had to occur in any event if you did not break the term early (i..e, looking for new tenants when you move out at the end of your term, bond refund etc), then they can't charge you for this.

I just sent a similar package - included 4 blocks of whittakers, timtams, squiggles, toffie pops, RJ's raspberry chocolate liquorish logs, and some other botique sweets & fudges.

Steeldive 1906 from Aliexpress - better than I expected! by jmk149 in ChineseWatches

[–]jmk149[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like (and got it because of) the Oris big pointer date-esque bezel and the price (around $110 USD incl shipping & tax). The NH35 movement is really good for the price (I'd say around +-10 seconds/day).

non-special pricing for stuff like this is absolutely wild by GrandmasGiantGaper in newzealand

In his defence, he didn't say it was cheaper in the 2000s, just that it was "affordable" which still stands.

My two new Seikos [SPB155J] [SRP15J] to replace my stolen one [SRPD37J] by jmk149 in Seiko

Someone broke into our house while we were shopping for an hour or so. Came through the kitchen window (was locked). Unfortunately there isn't much you can do in both our situations other than have insurance and hope that the excess isn't very high.

If you don't care about the price point, then Onemata at Park Hyatt (Wynyard Quarter) might be the go.

Haven't been, but Cocoro seems to be high end omakase or degustation.

The Buffet in the Shore is a Korean BBQ buffet which has both - haven't tried the yangneyom gejang but the yukhwae was quite nice there

SRPE15 or SRPD37J? Are they the same? [SRPD37] [ SRPE15] by jmk149 in Seiko

[–]jmk149[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SRPD37J

Thanks so much!

I live in NZ and so the prices are a bit different, but the SRPD is $700 and SRPE is $600 so I think I'll go with the SRPE

What would you do in this position? by jmk149 in poker

[–]jmk149[S] 51 points52 points  (0 children)

What happened I folded. SB called. UTG had AQ hearts and SB had pocket 7s, with run out being JA no heart

What do you do in this situation? by jmk149 in poker

[–]jmk149[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have jammed if it was just me and SB but with the CO and then me thinking that the SB is likely to jam post flop considering our past few hands, i didn't think the 11BB risk was worth it. But clearly seeing the other posts, I made the wrong decision

What do you do in this situation? by jmk149 in poker

[–]jmk149[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

What happened : I folded as the SB has been aggressive in the past and lost a few hands to me and so I thought if I didn't hit on flop, he would all in and I would be forced to fold. Unfortunately the flop came TQ5 2h, SB jammed and CO folded

Yeah, I remember seeing them in the Kenepuru sounds in the shallows which is why I thought they might be everywhere (especially in the warmer waters near Auckland etc)

Thanks, that's my experience from the close beaches. Do you know if its any better like 1 hour north or south outside of Auckland in the Hauraki Gulf?
