New Zealand's takeaway shops often pair a fryer with a wok, and ordering well means playing to both. Fish should hit the oil when you order, the batter thin and crisp, chips needing a crunchy outside and fluffy middle. Wok dishes come together fast, so fried rice or ho fun is a sensible add-on when the fryer queue is long. Because everything is cooked to order, peak times mean a wait, which is why regulars ring ahead or arrive between the rushes.
On Picton Street in Howick village, it's an easy stop for a classic takeaway tea.
