Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Continuing on my comment from yesterday, on the bright side, I'm loving some of the new food options in town. Has some amazing chilli oil dumplings yesterday, as part of Dumpling'd new revamped menu (which now includes a lot more than just dumplings). I've never seen carrots and cucumber being added to chilli oil dumplings before, so they were a surprise but welcome addition. Their Chongching noodles were also pretty yum.

And for lunch today is a substantial empanada and salad from Puro Chile (18 Willis St). I'm so glad that they're back, after their hiatus when Grand Arcade went under construction a few years ago.

Oh it's been years since I've been to dumpling'd! I'll have to make a point of trying them out again.

Your empanada photo looks like it should have been entered in the "looks like a face" photo competition from the other week :)
