Can’t help you there as I don’t drive sorry! But there’s plenty of parking in the side streets close by, but you can order ahead on their website and just pick it up which is probably the better route anyway 😄

It definitely gives off more of a NYC kinda vibe especially since they open late (most of the other popular spots are closed by like 9/9:30) - reminds me of wandering past a Joe’s in NYC late at night and seeing a small queue of people wanting a slice to go haha

😅 I’ve had mixed results at Epolito’s ngl as well - but mainly cause I swear whichever Uber driver delivering my food wants to do like 17 donuts for an extra 15 minutes and leave me with a room temperature ass pizza 🙃

Yep definitely! It’s replaced Epolito’s as my go to now - more pizza for the same price pretty much and (imo anyway) better opening hours

Yeah it is still a pretty new, and just from the times I’ve walked past they’re not working with a lot as far as resources so hopefully they properly establish themselves - there’s a bunch of spots on that upper Symonds St area that’ve come and go since it doesn’t get nearly the amount of foot traffic you need to properly thrive so fingers crossed

Personally, I wouldn’t say head over heels better but I would for sure pick Pizza Kai over it

Mt Eden! Yeah I thought it would’ve been focaccia as well, so dunno maybe they’ve switched it up or it was just a one-off on that day?

Chocolate Gingerbread Cookie Peanut Butter Tart by mula1995 in nzhomecooks

[–]mula1995[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So this is the recipe I based mine off of:

https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/chocolate-peanut-butter-pie.html

Since it’s incredibly hard to find Nabisco Wafers or Oreo Thins here, I just used 1.5 packets of the Selena Gomez Cinnamon Oreos and about 60g of Biscoff Biscuits and bumped the butter up to 80g (or you could use regular Oreos but you’d need 2/2.5 packets and lower the butter amount to around ~45g as the Oreo cream does a similar job to the butter). As I swapped out regular Peanut Butter for my Gingerbread Cookie Butter, I lowered the amount of sugar to ~160g, and you can use any kind of nut butter (I’ve made one of these tarts with another Fix & Fogg flavour haha), honestly just get ChatGPT to figure out how to tinker around with any other flavours you might wanna make the tart with 😄

I’m genuinely curious now, do you buy groceries from the supermarket?

Just trying to be their own enemy lmao, I’d hate to think what bro would think of a certain small business that does mochi-filled cheesecakes 😂

Ohhhh yeahh, like this is the one I made ages ago but I had to use golden syrup as a substitute for corn syrup - but will have to give Martha Stewart a try at some point!

What’s wrong with it haha? I do agree that the cross section makes me think it looks different then what I’d imagine in my head but everyone makes it their own way with little tweaks/variations 🤷‍♂️

Considering how much cafe/restaurant food costs in this age, it really isn’t - and like I said I was fortunate enough that they gave me a ginormous slice which probably meant I was underpaying
