Going to Skycity on a Friday night is great especially when you're having dinner at one of their most amazing restaurants Fortuna. Skycity was an amazing place to go with our family friend from Austria Ferdinand (Neni for short).
When we got to Skycity we went up 3 escalators then we found the restaurant we were expecting to eat in, we made reservations for eight fifteen. It was about seven forty five at that time. So my mum, Neni and I waited on some comfortable coaches till our table was ready.
Waiting for thirty minutes, we checked the clock and it was already 8.16. Back to Fortuna we went, when we reached our destination, we quickly told the receptionist that we had reservations for eight fifteen. She gave us our bill with our table number on it. A kind man led us to our table.
Finally we were able to eat. Grabbing a plate we got our food, the food I ate was Lamb Shank, Garlic Bread, Stir fried rice and some pork. This meal was divine. I had seconds which was nicer than the first. With this meal I had a L&P drink. Munching on some Lamb Shank, I stuffed some Garlic Bread into my mouth. "MMM" I said to myself with my mouth full with food.
As I finished my dinner, I saw some people get what looked like tea or coffee. Wondering what drinks were available, I stood up to go and check it out. As soon as I got to the hot drinks machine, I looked at the options and then spotted hot chocolate. Curiously pressing the button, steam came out of the small tubes (there were 3 tubes, the milk came out of the 2 outside tubes and the hot chocolate came out of the middle tube).
Walking back to my table, I had a nice hot chocolate. Neni had a cappuccino and my mum had the same as me. Sipping my hot chocolate, it burnt my tongue but it was tasty. Soon our drinks were finished and we had no choice to leave. We left our plates and cups on our table.
Fortuna is a great restaurant to go. It was more costly than McDonalds but we all enjoyed our relaxing dinner!
This is a record of my learning at Point England School in Auckland, NZ.

Na Na Thai Restaurant
GUESS WHAT?! I had a trip to Na Na Thai Restaurant. It explains why I am overly excited. Anyway let me tell you what happened. It was a calm dark night, me and my mum waited till 6.00. And when the clock stroke 6 o'clock we heard a noise. Wondering what it was I went outside to check. Suddenly lights came down the drive way then it faced me. I couldn't tell what it was because the lights beamed brightly at my face.
Soon the lights went out. When I opened my eyes it turned out to be a car. My mum came out to see what was going on. She hugged someone. Getting closer I said to myself "That lady looks familiar". As I got closer I remembered who it was. It was Marie (my mum's friend). This had reminded me that Marie was here to take us to a restaurant. Marie said to us "Both of you go in the back". Botany was a ahead. Which was a bit bad because it was far away and I get car sick. Luckily I fell asleep so I didn't throw up or anything. A push woke me up, I opened my eyes and saw a beautiful restaurant. Walking up the road I thought in my mind "PLEASE PLEASE CAN IT BE THAT BEAUTIFUL RESTAURANT". It turned out it was. And it was my lucky night! Entering the restaurant I saw a carved statue with a dress. The whole thing was carved even the dress.
Marie opened a door and the first thing I saw was a BIG HUGE crystal chandler. Then I looked down and saw tables and flowers. A very kind lady greeted us and bowed just like a Thai Tradition. Another lady took us to our table but it was different than the other tables, I thought that we were VIPS but it was just the same. Ordering was pretty fancy because to tell the truth I have never EVER had ordered in a restaurant! Dinner was the most scrumptious and nice part of the night.
1 because there was a nice and spicy roll that was called The Spring Roll. It was extra chilly with the chilly sauce which I like very much. Secondly I ate some chicken and rice. I had some Ginger Beer and my mum had a mango drink. Marie had wine same for her husband. It was only minutes then dinner was gone!! But desert was on it's way. I chose a ice cream dish that was for kids. It was strawberry and had a little cute face on it. Sprinkles added a great touch. Everything was amazing I wanted to live that moment again and this other time I went to...... opps sorry but that is a very different story. I would have to tell you later.
