HIGH COUNTRY SALMON @ TWIZEL, NEW ZEALAND
 |
| I shall try Skydive soon (= |
As soon as we had our quick breakfast at The Doughbin Wanaka Bakery, we
started our journey the soonest we can in order to reach Lake Tekapo vicinity
in time to catch its widely said picturesque view of its pristine turquoise
water- that means you would need sufficient natural lights and pray for a good,
sunny weather ahead.
We suppose Lady’s luck was on our side as we managed
to exchange some quick glances of the nature beauty along the highway as we
drove by including the Ohau Riverside Drive.
Gosh, they were simply
breathtaking!
We took some several quick halts in order to snap some
pictures for memory, before we stumbled upon a salmon oasis enroute Twizel. Not
wanting to let this culinary serendipity gone to waste, we thought why not had
some time out over fresh cuts of salmon sashimi accompanied by some beverages
to rejuvenate us in a way? Poor “warm pillow” as he’s the one who need to drive
throughout the excursion and only he could do so for- this foodie would forever
remain as a pure foodie who just find road too scary to her, hence the license
is meant to be just “framed up” (I just don’t have the guts to drive, sorry,
haha)
And so we enter High
Country Salmon with cautious steps on the wooden stairs, made a swift beeline
towards the ladies before settling down at a soothing enclave at the al fresco,
facing the blue lake with Donald Ducks around completed with chilling breeze
brushing by the cheeks, hehe.
“Warm Pillow” long known as an ardent fan of salmon
sashimi, went all the way for his favourite grubs, haha, while I’m happy to
choose my coffee again, hehe. In case you couldn’t decide which menu or salmon
serving method to go, you may try the provided salmon sampling to aid in your
decision.
Smoked Salmon Platter (NZD 15)
Hot and cold smoked salmon, local soft cheese, rhubarb
chutney, kasundi, crackers and bread
Flat White (NZD 4.50)
Long Black (NZD 4)
Sashimi 250g (NZD 20)
Indeed thickly cut salmon slices for ultimate
satisfaction!
Hot Smoked Salmon Sushi (NZD 10)
And sushi rice-based salmon delicacy for me who not as
enthusiastic as “warm pillow” when comes to raw seafood delicacy, hehe. Nevertheless,
I did try some sashimi and reckoned that they were indeed different from what I
had tasted in Malaysia and they are far more fresh over here, wonderful!
Unconsciously, we were actually basking in the delectation
of the tranquil environment while the time passed by ……………
It was cold at times as the wind gushed by, but the
zen environment somehow got you hooked on seated much longer!
After an hour or so lazing at the chillax hut, we
finally lifted our heavy butts up and resume the journey towards Lake Tekapo
Motel & Holiday Park! Until then, our vacation stories continue………
Cheers for now and follow

And our travel journey
