Food

I have previously blogged about the abundance of fruits and vegetables here. In this blog I would like to list out the options available to an individual who does not wish to cook on a given evening and chooses instead to patronise a local hashery. Below is a comprehensive list that will serve you well should you happen to find yourself in Goroka:

Kai Bars - They all have the same menu of chicken, chips and lamp flaps but some add secret herbs and spices to their fried chicken and have windows. Kimi's at the back of SVS is a quite popular with executives out for a power lunch.

SVS - a supermarket with a bakery at the back. Stocks pies, sausage rolls, cold burgers and egg sandwiches. Another popular lunch venue.

Bird of Paradise - You can get most western food here for around K25-30. Stay away from the pizza.

Pacific - The other fancy place in town. Definitely order the BBQ chicken pizza. Rest of the food only serves to normalise your taste buds so you can truly appreciate the pizza once more.

Mandarin - Every city needs a dodgy chinese place. Stay clear unless you enjoy pork trotters and bland noodles cooked the night before.

Claire's - Can somehow turn 2 onions, a tomato and a cucumber into a feast. We're going over to her place for dinner tonight. Waste no time in making friends with her.

Celine's - Argued by some to be the original Claire. Though I was quite impressed with the quiche and stuffed capsicum but sample size (of 1 dinner) is still too small to topple Claire's throne.

Em tasol.
