Corned beef hash

When in Wanaka, I can wholeheartedly recommend the corned beef hash at Kai Whaka Pai. I needed a big meal on this cool, rainy day before my ride down to Queenstown, and this thing was a steaming pile of glory. Corned beef, potatoes, asparagus, all piled high and topped with two fried eggs. A complete slice of fried gold. You'll have to take my word on quality of the presentation - I'm not Japanese. Why do they do that? I used to see that the most at the Ess-a-Bagel on 3rd Ave. They'd even have menus printed in foreign languages. Must have been written up in some guidebook. Took forever if you were behind them in line. BUT ANYWAY. Washed it all down with a tall, cold Brewski. The beer is actually called "Brewski," it's a local brew made by two guys out by the airport. I didn't make it out to the airport this time, though I was there once three years ago to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Stay tuned for the next post, in which I cash in all this karma accumulated from taking it easy this week.
