souvlaki scene
hehe, 2 words I never imagined to see next to eachother!
-
Anyone got an insight into how they're marinated?
surely a mystery of the ages.
I have heard rumour of a thai marinade, that or virgins tears...i forget which. -
Nothing wrong with Costas or Dimitris,
but Greek Recipe FTW. -
well, maybe more than 50 cents now, but still, not a lot. And defenitely not enough to even warrant a raised eyebrow from a manager I would have thought.

I too have been hunting high and low for a true Souvlaki vendor in AK...no dice. Every time I visit chch now, I brave the skinhead/bogan mobs to hit the Greek Recipe for a double chicken. They are truly one of lifes great treats and a good hangover cure too (if plastered liberally with chilli sauce).
If you ask nicely, there is a tub of rather nasty looking, almost black, chilli paste under the counter that has brought me to my knees in the past.
Also, the $4 post mix diet coke at Subway would have cost them around 50 cents.
ridiculous. -
re: the harris gang...
I have met the ex-leader of the harris gang on numerous occasions, he was married a lady I used to work with, who ironically was maori.
I went to a wedding that he attended that was also, predominately attended by maori, I sat and watched as the flicker of recognition ‘mexican waved’ around the event.
Word got out quite quickly, as the heads of neighbours etc started popping over fences on all sides. Needless to say, he left shortly after the vows. -
I am originally from CHCH and have been living here in AK for 3 years and I have to agree with Russell that chch on a Saturday night can be a fairly dicey option. I have clubbed, DJ’d & promoted in both cities and so far in Auckland I have yet to witness the kind of random violence that I used to see quite regularly on Colombo street.
I walk fairly often from Khuja at the top of Queen street to Fu at the bottom and have never received so much as a sideways glance.
Walking between venues in chch, it is more of a surprise to NOT have abuse or threats hurled at you. Let alone the amount of times I have luckily been saved from actual violence by the doormen at the club I was working at. And this is ALL unprovoked too, I have never instigated or retaliated in any situations.Every time I return to chch I feel the same pent up bad vibe in the city, I have no explanation for it, but it’s definitely there.
As for the unfortunate incident at the party on Saturday night, I have been to that party many times in my younger days (open invite, out of hand, fights, people on the street), and I think that it is only dumb luck that nothing THAT bad ever happened. I don’t think networking of any kind can be blamed for one person severely losing the plot.
I have been at 2 outdoor parties where people have done the same thing (whitecliffs many years ago, and a recent alpine unity) and it is pure fluke that no-one was killed on those occasions. -
whoops, onviously didnt follow the original link.
