Hare and the Turtle Before Aunty Renee came up to Auckland she had expressed her desire to try one of the famed brioche bun sandwich at Hare and the Turtle, more so now as they have achieved Top 10 status, Metro Top 50 Cafes. The freshly baked brioche buns are legendary and once you sandwich a filling, they are out of this world. Aunty chose the Smokey Bro - smoked kawahai, crème fraiche, piccalilli, crispy shallots, microgreens + slice of lemon. Uncle went for the Gobbler (as it’s nearly Christmas) - free-range sliced turkey, cranberry, smoked cheddar and slaw. Our chosen brioche bun sandwiches surpassed our expectations; they are really super-sandwiches, caressed in between the brioche bun. The buns are so good, Uncle had to get some for Aunty to take back to The Hampdens, Nelson. Hopefully they will be placed out of the reach of the Blonde (Quanda the Labrador). #smokeybro #smokedkawahai #gobbler #slicedturkey #briochebun #hareandtheturtle #newwindsor #metrotop10cafe (at Hare and the Turtle) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5NHQQyJv79/?igshid=18wqtau1qerhh

G O B B L E R You don’t have to wait till Thanksgiving (4th Thursday in November) or Christmas to have the Gobbler at Hare and the Turtle, New Windsor. Now is a good time. The Gobbler has free-range sliced turkey with cranberry, smoked cheddar and slaw on house-made brioche bun. Aunty Dot Louie and Uncle dropped by for afternoon tea, after lunch at Bunga Raya. Aunty’s eyes are bigger than her stomach (her words), so she also had a cinnamon scroll. The bun defeated her so she had to tapau it for tomorrow’s morning tea. Since next day is a public holiday, owner Aletheia offers brioche buns, cinnamon scrolls and cream donuts to us lucky punters. Thank you Hare and the Turtle. #gobbler #slicedturkey #freerange #cranberry #smokedcheddar #slaw #briochebun #housemade #cinnamonscrolls #hareandtheturtle #newwindsor (at Hare and the Turtle) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Hm0JOJfcJ/?igshid=1d0l8cqn9c8xk

“Bau sei horlan dau!” “Yau mou gau chor argh?” as different from “Yau mou kau choi argh?” Which my Cantonese language teacher Uncle Charles assures me is legit. I wouldn’t trust Uncle Charles as far as I can throw him so I had to defer to Aunty Janet to explain and her answer nearly made me choke on my Baloney Sandwich. Uncle Charles had his namesake The Geezer Sandwich (in a fresh brioche bun). He was marvelling at the 10 layers of ham that nestled between the bun. Aunty Janet went all traditional and had the ham & poached eggs with side salad and toast. We all shared a side of the best cooked crunchy chips (agria) with tomato sauce and aioli. It was a fun educational lunch and Uncle & Aunty regretted they left it to the last month of staying nearby Hare and the Turtle before they become Henderson Westies. #hareandtheturtle #newwindsor #avondale #baloneysandwich #briochebun #thegeezer #poachedeggs #goldenchips #cantoneselessons (at Hare and the Turtle) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzPtS9xJv6Z/?igshid=jy0thtcm2dxe

Uncle Charles is home alone. Aunty Janet has gone to a Buddhist retreat in the Coromandel. I picked up Uncle Charles after his gym workout. I’m sure he was wearing his Captain Marvel tee during his exercise. Anyway, I had to take him to Hare & The Turtle in New Windsor, Avondale near their current home as come July, they are moving to their new house in Henderson. They are the new Westies. We both chose a house-made brioche bun sandwich that best described ourselves; GEEZER for Uncle Charles, GOBBLER for my good self (of course). GEEZER: Freedom Farms ham, housemade piccalilli, Swiss cheese, mayo & cos lettuce all in a brioche bun. GOBBLER: free-range sliced turkey, cranberry, smoked cheddar & slaw. Very happy with our choices and the house-made brioche bun is so good & fresh, we’d happily have by themselves, lightly toasted. #hareandtheturtle #newwindsor #avondale #briochebun #geezer #freedomfarmhams #swisscheese #gobbler #slicedturkey #smokedcheddar #cranberry (at Hare and the Turtle) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byg-TgaJAhl/?igshid=1b031p39qdctn

Loving the fresh house-baked brioche buns used for most of the sandwiches at Hare and the Turtle, New Windsor. Uncle has been yearning for the Geezer (ham) or Gobbler (turkey) as he tossed and turned sleepless overnight from his man-cold. So he dragged his sorry arse over to Avondale to have the Geezer: a delicious stack of Freedom Farm ham, house-made piccalilli, Swiss cheese, mayo & cos lettuce. Reminiscent of the ham sandwiches at the cafe that used to seduce us last century at Auckland War Memorial Museum. The fresh brioche bun sammies are now Uncle’s comfort food. #hareandtheturtle #newwindsor #avondale #briochebun #geezer #freedomfarmhams #piccalilli #swisscheese #mayo #comfortfood (at Hare and the Turtle) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxRCyJvBIuF/?igshid=64hurmn80iwj

Learning how to eat sandwiches. Uncle grew up in the jungles of Sarawak, Borneo. He only ate rice and bamboo shoots. So it was such a huge leap into the world of bread and butter. Where else better to learn how to eat Angmo food than at Hare and the Turtle, New Windsor? He has had Gobbler (sliced turkey), Geezer (ham), so today is breakout day with the Eggplant Parm: pa Ko fried eggplant, housemade tomato sauce, provolone, mayo & basil on the best brioche bun this side of the bamboo grove. I’ll definitely have this “sammie” again, plus 2 brioche buns, all by themselves. #sandwich #briochebun #eggplantparm #pankofriedeggplant #tomatosauce #provolone #mayo #basil #hareandtheturtle #newwindsor (at Hare and the Turtle) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwvf7ZCBpqX/?igshid=jkby8klsq7fb

Hare and the Turtle is a gem of a cafe in the corner of a t-junction in Avondale. Owner Leaf Elder @hareandtheturtle knows everyone who walks through her door. If she doesn’t she and her staff make it a point to get to know you. It’s always a pleasure to re-visit. Uncle and Aunties have been working through Hare and the Turtle’s menu. We just love the fresh house-baked brioche buns used for most of the sandwiches. The Geezer: a delicious stack of Freedom Farm ham, house-made piccalilli, Swiss cheese, mayo & cos lettuce. Reminiscent of the ham sandwiches at the cafe that used to seduce us last century at Auckland War Memorial Museum. The Gobbler: Uncle’s favourite, free-range sliced turkey, cranberry, smoked cheddar and slaw. Daisy: Slow-cooked beef, melted Edam, pickled onion, burger sauce, horseradish & mustard, served toasted with organic white sourdough. For good measure, one of Uncle’s friends who has hollow legs had the cinnamon bun, and then a doughnut filled with cream. He enjoyed them immensely, and licked all the cream that oozed out of the doughnut onto his fingers. Maybe he’s imitating Nigrlla Lawson. #hareandtheturtle #avondale #briochebun #geezer #goobler #daisysandwich #cinnamonroll #creamdoughnut (at Hare and the Turtle) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv3IrtsBxPx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rvqwhsn05cjv

Best Goobler! That's what Hare and the Turtle call their roast turkey, cranberry, smoked cheddar and mayo sandwich. What a cracker of a place owner Leaf Elder has made of this gem on the corner of New Windsor Rd. A well-deserved Metro Top 50 Cafe 2018. Christmas turkey expectations totally fulfilled.
