SUPERMARKET $
(
www.moorewilson.co.nz
; cnr College & Tory Sts; 7.30am-6pm)
A call-out to self-caterers:
this positively swoon-inducing grocer is one of NZ's most committed supporters of inde-
pendently produced and artisanal produce. If you want to sample the best of Wellington
and NZ, here's your chance.
Gelissimo Gelato
ICE CREAM $
(
www.gelissimo.co.nz
;
11 Cable St, Taranaki Wharf; gelato $4-8; 8am-5.30pm)
The hottest thing
in coldness is the gelato and sorbet made by Graham, who grew up in a fruiterer's shop
and sure knows his apples (and raspberries, and chocolate…). Outpost along Oriental
Bay.
Pandoro Panetteria

2 Allen St; items $3-8; 7am-5pm; )
This excellent Italian bakery
serves inexpensive deliciousness (cakes, pastries and various savoury, bready, scrolly,
rolly things) along with smooth coffee in sit-down surrounds. Another outlet at 14 Wood-
ward St.
Little Penang
MALAYSIAN $
(Oaks Complex, Dixon St; mains $8-13; 10.30am-8.30pm Mon-Sat)
Among a troupe of great
Malaysian places, teeny tiny Little Penang steals the show with its fresh-flavoured, often-
fiery street food. Pick a yummy curry for your
nasi lemak,
traditionally accompanied
with the eggy, nutty, saucy stuff, or go for the bargain eight-buck
nasi goreng
. Then go
back for yummy curry puffs. Aim to avoid the lunchtime rush.

The lightest and healthiest of Welly's
noodle houses is Aunty Mena's, a cheery cafe cranking out tasty vegie/vegan Malaysian
and Chinese dishes to a diverse clientele. Easy-clean, over-lit interior.
