Merry Christmas and happy holidays from Aotearoa New Zealand! Here we have Christmas in summer, but it didn't feel like it about a month ago, when @tonywhytednz and I headed to Fiordland on a #birdventure. We were caught in the snow, with a thick blanket of white falling overnight, and Black-fronted terns still hunting the plains of the Eglinton Valley as thick flakes flurried through the air. I've never had a white Christmas...but this was pretty close! ⠀ ⠀ #birdventurenz #your_best_birds #birds_adored #birds_brilliance #aotearoa #wildnz #nznature #nzbirds #snow #whitechristmas #merikirihimete #snowstrom #tern #seabird #snowbird #winter #discoverearth #ig_discover_birdslife #merrychristmas #yearofthebird #float @forestandbirdnz #nikonnz #nikond500 #nikonnature #wildlife_perfection #feathered_perfection #birding #earlybird #birdstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Brx6ySOBDQe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o37lf85k99ms

#MeriKirihimete ki a koutou! Here are my #homemade #macarons for #Christmas 🎄 Alas it is incredibly hot and humid so I haven’t been able to photograph these properly, and there was a bit of condensation on the jar which has promptly gone back into the fridge, but I’m stoked with how they turned out! Hope everyone likes them! (at Hastings, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrySZf8FBp5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=we3598d7vjyq

Christmas Lunch Hosted by Aunty Yoke Har & Tony at the Woolf’s Scott’s Landing holiday home. Family and friends, Uncles and Aunties, tennis buddies gathered to share a wonderful spread. While the young ones dive-bombed into the infinity pool, the tennis pros sat under the sun shade in their panamas, talking about their cunning slice shots and deft ball placements, us Malciks & Pakciks congregated around the kitchen admiring or preparing the food that’s about to be served. Malcik Yoke Har made her famous curry puffs and chicken satay; Akemi of Akemi’s Gyoza made her spring rolls stuffed with chicken and vermicelli. Dipped with her irresistible soy and sesame dip plus mustard paste, the spring rolls were gone even before lunch proper started. Aunty Eileen made a special cucumber acar, spiced with gochujang and vinegar. Uncle obtained the recipe because he wants to make it for himself. There are salads galore, and steaks, lamb chops and sausages of all types and sizes. For dessert, there’s the obligatory pavlova, mince pies and fruit cake. Uncle brought the gorgeous chocolate cake he was given for Christmas and that was so moist and rich, it tempted many to try. No regrets! Aunties made Malaysian desserts like sago drizzled with suntan and gula melaka; by this stage Uncle has suffered food fatigue and couldn’t take any more photos. #merikirihimete (at Scott's Landing, Ridge Road.

M I D N I G H T M A S S Monsgr Bernard Kiely brought Baby Jesus back from his pilgrimage to Bethlehem and laid him in the crib at the beginning of Christmas Midnight Mass at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, Balmoral. The baby cradle is made of wood from ancient olive groves. It was a joyous Mass, complete with Christmas carols and a multi-racial congregation that makes Good Shepherd Parish truly special. Uncle has found his spiritual home.

Stay-at-homers rejoice! Nam Do @dtn.nam and Annie Duong are opening Fusion Cafe @fusioncafe_ponsonby throughout the Christmas holidays, until Saturday 28 December. In the lead-up to Christmas, they have been upholding Yuletide traditions, from decorations to Santa hats. This hardworking couple and crew serve great cafe food with a smile and a friendliness that’s infectious. Nam was seen cleaning out the fireplace and flue last week so Santa will be sliding down the chimney at midnight to deliver more goodies. Son Jayden is super excited.

Hanging Out With The Young Ones. Uncle has been made to feel like an old fossil as he hangs out with old scrotes playing tennis. But because of his Uncle status, he has an army of nephews & nieces. So before the night Santa comes down the sooty chimney, he’s eating out with 2 fun chaps who love eating Malaysian food. They are not adverse to rolling their eyes to the backs of the eye sockets 👀, their version of a ”face palm”. Nephew Ian @ugh_ian and Chris @csmith.co are more adventurous than Uncle in their choice of dishes at the new Enak Malaysia Restaurant on Dominion Rd. They hoover up the extremely pungent Sambal Petai and the big flavours of Hokkien Mee. We share a specially prepared wonton soup with bok choy, unsullied by fillings of prawn, plus green beans in garlic which is always a firm favourite. Dessert sees the shaved ice bowl of Ice Kacang, complete with green cendol, grass jelly (sien chow, sweet bean, corn, with lashings of evaporated milk and palm sugar. Plus 2 adventurous scoops of Durian Ice Cream. They are gone in a flash, even before the shaved ice and ice cream has a chance to melt. #wontonsoup #sambalpetai #hokkienmee #garlicgreenbeans #icekacang #durianicecream #enakmalaysia #dominionroad #theyoungones #merikirihimete (at Dominion Road) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6cUteQJN3F/?igshid=1kcz2p9z2nbyb
