Auckland, NZ

It's been ages (close to two years?) since my last Auckland trip. Everything pretty much look the same. The only change is we now stay in a different hotel which is better since it's within walking distance to the shopping area.

My colleague recommend dinner down at The Occidental, that serves really really good mussels!

Address:
The Occidental
6/8 Vulcan lane
Auckland 1010,
New Zealand

We ordered four different pots of mussels:

*Lobster & brandy bisque
*Garlic, Celery & onion
*Blue cheese & spinach sauce
*a pot of the chef special which was stout with "cant remember what?"

The mussels are totally out of the world! They are plump and really juicy!! The different flavours are really distinct and delicious. Our favourite was the Lobster & brandy bisque pot of mussels!!

TATA!! Our four pots of mussels.
Imagine the five of us eating 4KGS of mussels!!
