A Chinese and fish-and-chips takeaway on Hills Road in Edgeware, Christchurch, rated 3.8 on Google. These dual-menu takeaways are a New Zealand institution, and the trick to a good one is that both halves are done properly: chips fried to order so they arrive crisp, and a Chinese side built on fresh vegetables and sauces made on site rather than poured from a tub. It also pays to know what travels well — fried rice, chow mein and sweet-and-sour dishes hold their heat on the drive home, while anything batter-crisped is best eaten within minutes. Regulars tend to ring ahead on Friday and Saturday evenings, when the fryers back up and wait times stretch. For Edgeware locals after an easy dinner that covers both the chippy classics and a box of fried rice, this Hills Road shop puts both on one counter.
