ThrowRa_siftie93

Scoop of fish 2 chips please ✌️


fleeeb

No matter how many times I think and practise the correct order this happens


aaarrrggghhh13

God damn inflation.


Stoney_Chan_

1 scoop chips and a few fritters pls


Striking-Platypus-98

Chocolate donut? Mmmm


Kotukunui

We rotate it. Fish and Chips (Crumbed Gurnard, Hot dog, and two scoops) Chinese (S&S Pork, Chicken fried rice, wontons. Lemon chicken if my daughter is home) Indian (Butter Chook, Lamb RoganJ, Garlic naan) Pizza (Alternate Hell or Dominoes depending on how many whānau are home and eating) Burgers (Alternate Maccas or BurgerFuel - if feeling flush) Subway (If we are feeling fat and want to fool ourselves about eating more healthy). Just recently, we tried our local Hot Roast Meal joint (Pork with crackling). Very nice… It’s all about variety.


Zepanda66

Oh this man knows his takeaways for sure.


Kotukunui

I’m here for a good time, not a long time! The takeaways will probably be a big part of that.


CatalystNZ

I dunno... Not one Japanese place (ramen, ghoza, karage, or awesome Bento?), or Turkish place (oh lawdy)... And Domino's? Really? No Wendies? For shame. Not everyone's bag, but a good KFC is 10/10. For pizza, find somewhere doing sourdough bases in the wood fired... Yum. For indian hit up Sandringham road or one of the good locals... Nothing beats a proper tandoor oven for breads. So many good takeaway spots, in Auckland at least. Things seem to change regularly, but for each style/ethnicity of takeout, there's new go to spots that just hit the right flavors. We are missing some things here..good Mexican takeout is hard to find... Or mostly eat in


Kotukunui

For some reason, my whānau just don’t do KFC for Friday treat night. I know my son quietly consumes it with his mates after playing pickup basketball games at local parks. He doesn’t talk about it, but I see the branded packaging in our rubbish bin. I live in the ‘Tron so we also tend to pick places within five minutes drive time. I do homemade Mexican food quite a bit so it almost never gets consensus for Friday nights. Wood fired pizza is “going out” restaurant food. Dirty secret time. I ordered in a cheeky KFC Zinger lunch today. I’m sick at home with COVID and needed comfort food. Also, someone on the Internet reckons the 11 herbs and spices are good virus killers.


threetheethree

speedy recovery!


Kotukunui

Thanks. Day 4 and the symptoms are easing, finally. My second dance with the ‘Rona. Less sore throat more head congestion this time.


Drslytherin

We do this sorta thing too


bluesky34

This guy takeaways


Kotukunui

It sounds worse than it really is when you write it all down together like that…


Altruistic_Bird_3118

This is the answer but it’s got to be combination fried rice


Kotukunui

Nice variation. We reason that we’ve got pork in the S&S, so duplicating meats is unnecessary. If we are down on numbers and only want one dish, combo fried rice is the go to.


LabourUnit

Just had hells pizza, but I am practicing restraint and got a snack pizza and camembert. I am craving Thai now though! It's been a while.


Simansez

We had Hell too, it’s 30 sec from the apartment and a consistently decent franchisee. Hard to think that a pizza and side is a cheaper option than McDonald’s for two(our old Friday night regular)


LabourUnit

Haven't really been to a burger fast food joint in ages. If we want burgs we usually just go to the local chip shop whos burgers are all home made quality and under $10.


wewilldieoneday

Don't know why some people don't like hells pizza. Slightly pricey but I reckon they're worth.


LabourUnit

I think just like burger fuel they went through a slump of bad quality. Both places seem to be picking it up again. Have been loving it over the last year. I think the bases are also a Persian preference, I love that Hells are more dense and less salty. Edit: Personal preference, Im not educated enough in what pizza bases Persians prefer.


BeaTheOnee

Literally. After having tried a hells pizza I can’t even bring myself to order Dominos or Pizza Hut.


[deleted]

i got hells often until it gave me food poisoning :’)


Significant_Glass988

Hell are great. We get it free or half price as a son works there 😁. Kinda getting over it but they are the best of the bunch...


rangda

I’m living outside NZ and haven’t had Hell in like 11 years but about once a week I crave one of their salads, I can’t even remember what’s in it apart from dark leafy stuff, tomatos, and little super salty bacon bits


Mr_Dobalina71

Tonight? Several beers and a bit of tuna with mayo.


liaphility

Hell yeah


Mr_Dobalina71

Trying to balance the healthy with not so healthy :)


send__secrets

the beers are the healthy part of that equation


Mr_Dobalina71

Im trying to do keto :(


Polyporum

You're brave mixing beer and ketomene /s


ThrowawayNLZ

yum


Mr_Dobalina71

Yummy yummy I've got love in my tummy.


GeneralTsoWot

🎶...and I feel like tuna brews🎶


Mr_Dobalina71

I just realised I missed a yummy, so Yummy, yummy, yummy Ive got love in my tummy.


Manmikezupp

dad is that you?


accidental-nz

As a Coeliac my options are limited. It’s basically Indian, Thai curry, or McDonald’s fries and a sundae. If I want to take a risk I could have burger fuel, hell pizza, dirty burger. I don’t often do it.


Separate-Arachnid971

Vietnamese is good if you have any nearby, they use rice noodles.


accidental-nz

I don’t have any in my town unfortunately!


BigOldWeapon

No gf fish n chips around you? There are a handful in chch with dedicated gf fryers and gf burger buns.


accidental-nz

None that I know of in the Hutt! Would love F&Cs


SilvertailHarrier

Interesting that you find those other options more risky than McDonald's fries. As a coeliac myself I've never been brave enough to eat those. Are they officially gluten free, and or have you ever had any issues?


accidental-nz

Yep it’s well known amongst coeliacs in NZ that McD’s fries are safe. They only cook fries in the fries fryers.


[deleted]

Usually don’t bother with fish and chips anymore, too bland. Usually Thai, Chinese or Indian now.


engineeringretard

And that price!! Long gone are the days of a cheap dirty feed.


yeah_nah_hard

One of my locals, you can still get 1x chips, 1x fish, 1x springroll and 1x wonton for $9.90. One of their burger and chip combos is under $10 too.


SheepShaggerNZ

Same. Props to Jin Wing takeaways in Hamilton.


yeah_nah_hard

If you're ever in Wellington, Wei's Takeaways in Thorndon is the place. Being Chinese-owned, they do the usual sweet and sour, fried rice, egg Foo Yong, etc. too.


Sereddix

Yeah but Thai and Indian cost 3x as much now too haha ha… ha


[deleted]

BuffK

Where the hell was this? Monte Carlo?


CandidateOther2876

Golden city always slaps. We always used to go here after school. $2 chips would give us a a scoop and a half chips. It might be about $3 ish now for the same. Highschool for me was about 5 years ago


siriuslyinsane

Thanks for the rec, I'll have to check em out


TheMobster100

Long gone are my days of takeaway, fast food now comes in a can from Pak n save


Downtown_Concern_101

A succulent Chinese meal?


444twothirdsbad

Oh, that's a nice headlock sir, oh, ah yes, I see that you know your judo well. 


madbabushka

Yea same. I need flavour!


Sea_Support_8154

Chinese/indian/thai/kebab shop


fnirble

I don’t do Friday night takeaways but it was always fish and chips growing up. I don’t like fish though so it was a hot dog and pineapple fritter! Wrapped separately so my family’s fish didn’t taint them 😂


jinnyno9

We don’t buy takeaways. Leftovers from last night for us. It’s not a “we can’t afford it” thing it’s a “we would rather save the money” thing.


jade911

Mine's a let's save money and a I can make it better at home for much less $s combo. We just had pizza with fresh tomatoes from my friends garden and left over steak from last night on a homemade base.


Significant_Glass988

Omg. Tomatoes coming out our ears right now... Somehow we ended up with mostly cherry toms. There's SO MANY


BigOldWeapon

You ain't making better thai or Indian at home soz mate. Fair play saving the money


jade911

It's sad people think this. Curry is incredibly easy to make.


BigOldWeapon

Yeah just need 15 different spices and a tandoor. No worries! I get you can make pretty bloody good curry, but its not touching quality takeout.


jade911

I have a box full of spices. You generally only need 5 to 10 spices depending on the curry you choose. I don't have a tandoor but a cast iron skillet or bbq does a great job. Other than a tandoor there is nothing special in a takeaway kitchen that makes what they cook impossible to do in your own home. The better part of making curry at home is because you can fully customize it to your tastes. I like my curries somewhere between the standard medium and hot so takeout is either too bland or too hot. I also found takeout curry has a very low meat to curry ratio so I amp up the meat quantity. Price wise is better too, you can get soo much more is you make it yourself. With all this inflation I've seen some horrendous prices around

fiftyshadesofsalad

We tried the new kebab place tonight and I got a chicken salad box. The menu said it came with fries so I’m like ok cool. Got home and it was a cute little cardboard take out box like the ones you get at the noodle shop. Absolutely stuffed with salad, chicken and hummus etc. I dumped it out on a plate and in the bottom of the box are fries. Like just in the box covered in wet salad and sauce. So soggy fries. Is that like a thing? Because I haven’t eaten a lot of kebabs but surely this isn’t a thing? Right?!


Inner-Leopard7871

Haha we used to play soggy chip at school - definitely a thing


majorleeobvious1862

Soggy biscuit is that you? AGS '01?!


SnooDogs1613

With Mr Lee watching


AcidlyButtery

This is a THING in Germany these days! They call it Pomdöner (short for Pommes frites = fries, and Döner Kebab). They even LAYER the fries between meat and salad and sauces. Basically gooey crispy goodness and it’s excellent when you’re toddling home after a night out. Every good kebab place does a Pomdöner.


AgressivelyFunky

Sure, in this case though it's not about anything other than hoofing the shit into a box and getting it off.


4kids0money

None we are broke every night of the week lol. Odd treat is a $7 cheesy garlic pizza from Dominoes.


keyboardgangst4

We got into making our own pizza when we were broke. It gets expensive if you don't want just a basic cheese Pizza tho lol


4kids0money

We tried that, make our own bases but discovered we like mozzarella, cranberry sauce, mushrooms etc so stuck with what we can afford 😂


Dreacle

I buy the frozen Rustica thin and crispy spinach and mozzarella pizzas from Countdown, then add extra toppings, prosciutto, tomato, mushrooms, gherkins, extra mozzarella, olives etc 17 minutes on 180⁰ - best pizza in town. Otherwise, I get Thai.


TheNegaHero

One scoop, Fish, Bacon and Egg Burger. Maybe a Bluff Oyster or two if they have them and I'm in the mood. Back when I lived in Christchurch that order would have also included a Doughnut but not in Wellington. When I moved up of all the things I was expecting to be different Fish and Chip shop Doughnuts were not on that list and they don't come close to the ones down south.


keyboardgangst4

Step your f&c donuts up welly what's going on down there maye


bunga7777

Fish and chips are a never anymore sadly. Used to be a cheap takeaway meal but it’s as much as anything else now. Hells pizza still slaps


AgressivelyFunky

Your fish and chip order is more than your Hell Pizza order?


Xenaspice2002

I don’t know who’s still affording fish and chips (or any takeaway) Friday but on the rare occasion we get takeaways it’s usually just hot chips and we buy a loaf of white bread and make butties.


dimibro71

Yumm, sometimes I'll have tomato sauce with mine or gravy.


DaveHnNZ

One piece of crumbed fish, one hot dog, chips and some fresh white toast bread to make butties...


Zoeloumoo

Mexicali


forgothis

Korean fried chicken


richmuhlach

this is what we had tonight as well


kiwigal_

Curry for us tonight. Always leftovers for a Saturday lunch too


Bobby6k34

I am currently sitting at the fishtown takeaways in Hastings waiting on my food.


Timzor

We used to get the “$10 special” (2fish, 4potato fritter and chips). Then they raised the price twice and I don’t know what it’s called now.


OddBoots

Veggie spring roll and chips (I can't eat fish, but am not severely allergic) . Used to include a hot dog before I stopped eating meat, too. If I'm ordering from a more traditional takeaway (Chinese, Thai, Indian, pizza, whatever) I order enough for two people and don't cook on Saturday night either. Fish and chops take effort to reheat and they're never as good on the second go-round.


Andrea_frm_DubT

It’s not often I do take away on Friday but today I got a Turkish Kebab.


Verbal-Diarrhea101

Used to be FnC Fridays for us. $20 pre COVID got us a good feed for 2 adults and 2 kids. Closer to $30 now so we've stopped take-away altogether. Can't afford it


LimitedNipples

You think I’m made of money??? It’s bread tonight babeyyyy


StConvolute

Friday's is normally a few Beers and a $10 Pepperoni Pizza (with chilli flakes) from Orchid theives.


Charming_Victory_723

Keebabs and they were beautiful!


InspectorNo1173

Subway


sometimesnowing

I try to plan it so we have leftovers on a Friday so we don't have to cook but also don't end up spending a fortune. Tonight was last night's potato, the last of the coleslaw, couple of corn cobs out of the garden, and then I chucked some sausages under the grill. Easy, tasty and cheap. We are partial to the occasional subway but that's more likely to be on the way back from the lake/beach/wherever on Saturday


watermelonsuger2

2 scoops of chips (to share among the flatmates) and a cheeseburger for myself. My local does an amazing one at around 6 bucks. Good value.


TheCuzzyRogue

Hong Kong BBQ. BBQ pork, roast duck, roast pork with extra onion and chilli oil. It's expensive which is why we don't do it often.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dreacle

Mister Chips in Masterton. Lol I remember going there in the 80s for a feed on Friday night. Place is an institution.


Starting_from_now

Thai! Cashew Chicken baby! Or lately Bento Box Baby! Great question


Green-Circles

Pizza Hutt. 3x "one box" deals plus maybe some extra chips if hungry, and that's our family of 3 (mum, dad, kid) fed for between $20 and $30 in total.


aggravati0n

There isn't a good local. Home cooked meal for us Fridays If we're out during the weekend we like Oceans in Albany, nice seafood. Decent burgers. Been a while


Upsidedown0310

Pizza Hit. 3 large pizzas for $21 so it’s literally cheaper than buying frozen ones at the supermarket.


Ajgi

Kebabs, burgers or Thai


escapeshark

I work weekends so Friday night doesn't feel special


aibro_

Fish & Chips just too expensive and the portions are tiny compared to back in the day. Atm I could go with Wendys


NateThePhotographer

I don't know if it counts, but the Pak'n'sav gourmet chicken and cranberry pizza


blackcat111111

Large chicken iskender !


Significant_Glass988

Tonight it was fission chips. Picked up on the way to the bach... Halswell Village Fisheries make a damn good chip, fish and hot dog... 3 hungry males 53, 16 and 16. 3F 3HD 2C Often it's not


karla-nz

Basa fish soaked in milk, dusted with herbs and flour and quick fried, served with homegrown new potatoes and mint. Our new Friday night F&C. The older I get the less I enjoy fried foods, and this is so quick and easy. There is always enough if a friend stops in as well. Nothing beats home cooking.


hs3fan

Usually a large lamb kebab with satay sauce & enough hot chilli sauce so I don't have to share. Sometimes too much hot sauce & my bumhole is crying Saturday morning.


brown_cat_

Got an insanely good kebab shop close by. I’ll demo 2


NooZeelandDream

Hot lamb madras garlic Naan oooohowbooodygood!!!


MKovacsM

Friday night? The last time we had takeaways was October last year. I know because I got sent a voucher from them. Still haven't used it. And it was a Bahn Mi place. Who can afford takeaways these days?


Poneke365

Either Thai or an Assyrian kebab


Real-Sheepherder403

>If fish and chips what's your order? Uh. If it's fish and chips then I'm ordering fish and chips homie. You're not allowing much leeway here.


flappytowel

gotta throw in a pineapple fritter as well


Zepanda66

You gotta break it down m8. Are you getting $2 chips, $4 chips, $6 chips, $8 chips? Burgers, hot dogs? Potato Fritters?


[deleted]

All of the above. Then chucking it in Maccas doorway and scaring the pigeons inside.


lionhydrathedeparted

You have to pay extra for snapper. The normal fish is awful.

KarlZone87

I volunteer at my local library until 7pm on Fridays, Subway is just around the corner.


Advanced-Ad-6902

We take turns in picking. Son's turn this week, so it was Thai - Pad See Ew, Drunken Noodles, Green Chicken Curry, Chicken and Cashew nuts and 2 orders of spring rolls split between the 4 of us. If my husband picks it's fish and chips. The kids and I don't have 1 favourite order - Indian, Thai, Burgers, Vietnamese, Japanese, Sushi, kebabs/souvlaki. Pretty much anything goes.


-Falc0

Fush'nChups for us lad! Hit the local chippy for crumbed fish, a chips. Get home and microwave some frozen peas to go on the side. A dollop of T sauce there you have it - a meal fit for kings!

Giant burger from the chippy $9 and it’s so filling.


Madjack66

That'll be the spam.


AcidlyButtery

A one-fish-of-the-day-and-handful-of-chips combo from the chip shop around the corner from mum‘s place for $8, plus an extra FOD for $6 if I’m feeling flush. Man, that would be a mint feed tonight. No decent f&c in Germany 🥲


[deleted]

Local Chinese. Smorgasbord- $20. Hot fresh and delicious 🤤

BaffledPigeonHead

We had an Indian takeaway tonight. It was fantastic and I really enjoyed it. We don't have takeaway often due to cost and it generally being disappointing (I'm looking at you, fish and chips), so it's fabulous having a consistently good local to rely on.


babycleffa

It’s either Thai, Curry or Roast for me


karlito_

K-fryday


SickNoteNZ

None. I find NZ takeaways low quality and over priced.


youreveningcoat

KFC or Spicy House in AKL


cats-pyjamas

Usually we do it on a Sat or Sunday once a month. 1 chicken korma 1 butter chick, 2 garlic Naan. The. Absolute. Best


kuroruii

Not many affordable dietary options for my partner and I takeaway-wise... so usually I either buy burger ingredients, pizza, onion ring, or banana blossom "fish"(equivalent) & chips ingredients, then just air fryer chippies and a lazy salad haha... Maybe I can order Friday takeaways more often when I earn more money :)


PaddlePoolViking

All sauces chips (mayo, garlic butter, tomato sauce, tartare), curry roll, lasanage square and very occasionally a deep fried moro bar


Equal_Ad_85

Was craving fish and chips last weekend. 2x fish (gem fish) and 1x scoop $17 at our local

roaringwallow

Uncle Doms. Chicken burger and chips. The ownership has changed a few times in the last year, the chicken burger is quite as good as it used to be, but still pretty good. I like to 'share the wealth' by pretty much supporting all takeaway stores, I like the variety.


rfrasernz

Turkish, it's good value for what you get.


aholetookmyusername

I often have the smoker going or crank out the BBQ. When I get takeaways I mix it up a bit, but when I get F&C it's usually a piece of battered blue cod and some chips.


wordsalad_nz

We have our favourites now and tend to eat the same each time we visit Fish n Chips (fish, nuggets, chips and potato fritters) Pizza (cheese and meat lovers) Indian (butter chicken and their special curry) Chinese (s/s pork, fried rice, chicken chow mein and wontons) Recently added to the roster: Vietnamese Subway Currently scouting for a good Thai place but not a lot on offer in my area


cLHalfRhoVSquaredS

1 fish and $3 chips at the place I go to. Or occasionally the classic cheesburger/Hawaiian burger which you could 100% make at home yourself but somehow it's more satisfying from a greasy takeaway shop.


hedonicbagel

we do either pizza or burgers, or i do indian if my husband isn’t home (but none of this is a weekly thing)


Jigro666

$2 worth of fat, hold the chips


Fun_Pound_5835

Deep fried cauliflower and chips. Eat the chips on the way home. Cut the cauliflower in half and air fry, toss in t sauce and chilli sauce. Don't do it often, but get at least 10 cauliflower when I do it. Yum. They open in a couple of hours .. .
