This is so THE BEST Western Restaurant that I’ve tasted in New Zealand. I mean there’s no official rating of any sorts, hahaha! but at least it suits my taste… I simply just LOVE IT!

This restaurant is located at Lindale Farm, Paraparaumu. It’s on the way up north of Wellington, probably about 45 minutes away from the city centre. So if you do visit Lindale Farm for the animals and Kapiti Ice Cream, then I don’t think you should missed out this restaurant! It’s worth the try!

HOWEVER THOUGH.. this is SERIOUSLY like a 2 years BELATED POST!!!! And I just FOUND OUT that Paul’s Restaurant is no longer in business…. smudge!!!!! WHat a shame… anyway, here’s some pictures of what we’ve eaten in the past.

The Cosy Interior

The BEST Seafood Chowder

Cheesy Seafood Filos

D’orangee’s is a car wash place cum cafe style onsite… it’s quite a nice cosy little cafe. They do serve reasonably nice food there too! :)

Usually friends would gather there for a chat or perhaps just to be there to get a carwash, while enjoying the Free WIFI and get a little work stuffs done, while awaiting for your car to be ready.

The first time when I went to D’Orangee, I kinda got a little lost, cause the shop is visible from the roadside, however the cafe just didn’t have a big enough signage. You can see it clearly from the other side on the road, however, as and when you’re looking for the signage following the road towards SMK Green Road, with Shell station on your right… You should be able to see D’Orangee on your left hand side, situated right at the junction before the Junction of the traffic light.

It took me awhile to remember though.

Anyway, I’ve only been there twice… this is my second time.

Here’s some recommendation for the food. I personally do love their Belacan Fried Rice, Potato Salad and Chocolate Oreo Crush or something…
I can’t remember the name for this drink, but it’s got something to do with Oreo and Coffee as well

Milo Dinosaur

This is not bad, could have been richer in chocolate/cocoa powder and milkier on the inside….. *did my sentence just sounded weird?* trallaaaa.. anyway, u know what i mean…….

Potato Salad

Belacan Fried Rice
*This is highly recommended!* I love the sambal. I don’t know why it has a little difference as compare to the first time when I try it… anyway, it still taste just as good though…..

Mushroom Soup
*mmm… I do have high expectation on Mushroom soup though… so I’m not gonna comment on this… By far, only MY RESTAURANT’S mushroom soup meets my requirement…. :P It’s worth the try though…..

Earlier in the afternoon, I was talking to one of my colleague… so he was telling me all about some Korean food and introducing me to more! we got carried away talking about food and Korea…. so I was pretty much soaked into the “korean” thingy….

Immediately that evening after work, I insisted to go for Korean food! hahaha blame my colleague, don’t blame my greedy craving! kakakaka just kidding.

Anyway I wanted to have some stew or soup thingy… DOn’t ask me why. I probably have some weird cravings lately. I remembered Seoul Garden do have nice stew and delicious soup…

So it’s all set! Let’s check out some of the pictures!

Always starting with the beverages. Here you go….

Chicken Bulgogi

Though I’d very much prefer beef bulgogi, however Chicken Bulgogi isn’t that bad as well.

Some side dishes

Soondubu Jiggae

Soft Tofu Stew in Spicy Soup
This is the BEST among all… and I still have cravings for it now as I write this post! ;) Love it!


How orgasmic! Melts in your mouth… mmmMmmm…

Gamjatang

Spicy pork lip, back bone, potato and kimchii stew!
Well, this isn’t the best. What I did in the end was to ask for extra Chilli paste from the kitchen, added my kimchii side dish into it to flavor… beautifullll…. mmmmm perfect! Delicious! Had I not done it… the stew taste too “PORKY”, you get what I mean? I probably feel like I’m a pig or something, it feels as if you could smell literally a pig just sitting next to you… hahahaha! anyways…. here you go, that’s the pixies…..

Hah!!! I thought Berrette was nice! Lo and behold, it is NOT!

It’s oily…. it was too salty! And the staffs were not friendly at all….. I felt dizzy after having it. I’m not sure if it was the cook’s problem cause the day when I was there, the laksa wasn’t good at all. There were 7 of us and still everyone said it’s not nice. I wonder why?! If only one person out of 7 that said it’s not nice, maybe that person has very unique taste, but it’s 7 out of 7 that voted out… so what have i got to say? Picture will speak it all too!

Laksa without Taugeh….
