【栗維尼 塗鴉牆】
We decided to have Japanese cuisine for our dinner on our first Christmas Eve in Auckland. It was a bit of luxurious s but since we almost walked all day long (Mt. Eden & North head) , we did'nt want us to have sth cheap or plain.
栗與維尼在奧克蘭的第一個聖誕夜選擇日本料理當作晚餐，有點奢持但因為走了一整天(Mt. Eden & North head)，算是犒賞一下自己不要吃一些很便宜或者很無趣的晚餐。
We found sushi factory on zomato, a website I am used to search restaurants, where the average review was fair. Sushi factory is situated in Vulcan Lane, Auckland CBD, on the corner of queen St. Not many customers were there when we walked in the restaurant as it was Christmas Eve.
我們在常用來找餐廳的zomato網站找到sushi factory，整體評價並不差。sushi factory 位於奧克蘭CBD的Vulcan Lane，在Queen ST的轉角處。到餐廳時沒有太多人，因為當天是聖誕夜。
Sushi factory offers most of kinds of Japanese cuisines to satisfy each customer. As far as I am concerned it's like a mix and match of izakaya (sushi bar) & kaitensushi (sushi train) which you would seldom in Tokyo.It was the time to hang out with friends or gather together with family so I was not surprised that the wait staff came to take our order without any smiles, even I ordered my dish in Japanese.
Sushi factory提供大部分各種日本料理滿足每一位客人。栗想這餐廳感覺很想居酒屋與旋轉壽司的混搭版，在東京很少會有這種餐廳。因為這時間點不是跟朋友出去玩就是跟家人聚在一起，所以栗對於來點餐的服務生沒有面帶笑容一點也不意外，既使栗用日文點餐。
My partner and I ordered one sashimi bento(raw fish lunch box) NZ$22.00 and Egg donkatsu NZ$11. Japanese often have donkatsu before exams since "katus" in Japanese means to succeed or win. My Egg donkatsu was served with the side dish of seaweed and the portion was not enough for heavy eater. The sauce was excellent but the egg was too dry and the katsu was so super thin that I barely could see it. Compared to the one I had in Japan last October (read the review of katsuya in Japan, written in Chinese), it was not a successful donkatus at all.
栗與維尼點了一個生魚片便當NZ$22.00以及豬排丼NZ$11.00，因為KATSU在日文指的是勝利或成功，因此日本人常常都會在考試前吃豬排丼。 栗的豬排丼有附上一盤海帶小菜，整體份量不夠大食怪吃。醬汁不錯但是蛋太乾，而且豬排超級無敵薄，薄到根本很難看得見! 跟之前10月份到日本玩時吃的KATUYA(點我)來說，這次的豬排一點都不成功。
Here comes the luxurious sashimi bento! What we had got in the box was two different kinds of sashimi, tempura, cold rice, one nigiri, two sashimi nigiri and salad, they also had beni shoga(pickled ginger) in the box( used for getting a fresh taste in the mouth). You would never get fed up of such dish but my partner was fairly satisfied with having it as a Christmas Eve dinner. Overall the sashimi was up to the average standard and the way they made for this bendo was quite authentic.
生魚片便當來了!便當裡有2種生魚片、天婦羅、冷飯、一個壽司、兩個生魚片壽司以及沙拉，而且還以提供用來清口腔味道的紅薑。這種餐點其實永遠都不可能會飽，但是維尼對於能有這樣的聖誕夜晚餐已經顯得非常滿足。整體而言，生魚片也有到一般水準，而且整個便當的作法也都還算道地。
On the final note, our first Japanese dinner in NZ is not as expensive as we expected. Spending NZ$22 on a sashimi bento with sashimi, tempura, cold rice, nigiri, and salad is fairly reasonable, although the portion is not for heavy eater.
結論
第一次在紐西蘭吃日本料理晚餐不如預期中的貴森森，花個22紐幣享受有生魚片、天婦羅、冷飯、壽司以及沙拉的便當其實還滿合理，但份量可不適合大食怪喔!
