I would pay good money to get some stability in my life. Unfortunately, some things you just can't buy. And the universe seems to enjoy pissing on me lately.
There's some things you CAN buy though - or at least, that you should be able to. But I cannot find these anywhere in Auckland either!
Banh mi
Latest letdown: Viet Sandwich. I know there are still a couple more banh mi spots I haven't hit up yet, but to be honest, I've hit all the 'top' ones that have been most recommended. With the closure of Mi Vietnamese, District 5 is probably my pick of the bunch right now.
Napoli pizza
Quite frankly, Sette Bello is just about as good as Dante's (which in turn isn't quite meeting my standards) and is both cheaper and more convenient to boot.
Burritos
Big, fat, juicy American burritos. Augh. Mad Mex gets pretty close, I suppose (but you need to pick the right filling). Everyone raves about Flying Burrito Brothers, but I went there on the weekend of my birthday and it was bland and expensive.
Black cardigan
I just want a nice, fitted, plain black cardi. Slim, not chunky. Not made of acrylic or polyester or other nasty crap. No frills, no fuss. Apparently this is asking too much. These cardis just aren't in this season?
Black flats
Pretty much the same story here. I mean, there are some options, but I think it's outrageous to charge close to $100 for a pair of ballet flats that aren't even leather. The prices in NZ!
So that's my Wednesday whinge. Feel free to get stuff off your chest too.
