Peckish Jr. Cafe — Restaurant in Wellington

📍 Peckish Jr cafe (Dukes Arcade, cnr Manners & Willis St) This cafe caught my attention a few months ago, and we finally managed to visit them! It's hidden inside the arcade, which I do not usually walk through, but do not be deceived! They have a very extensive menu and open all 7 days a week starting from 7am breakfast, but it's an all day menu anyway. We got to try a bit of everything, started off with the mini prawn toasts, with a spritz of lemon juice, they were super crunchy and each one had a very solid piece of prawn inside with a nice tartare sauce, posted perfectly with the lemon juice. Then we went on to the labneh eggs, which had some nice yogurt to cut through the flavour with Turkish bread to dip, the eggs were cooked perfectly, and you have to mix in the yolk with the sauce and eat them all together! This was probably my favorite dish, however the crispy pork banh mi was a very close 2nd, I am usually not a banh mi type person, but the pork and the kimchi went very well together, was a bit spicy for us and when I mentioned this to them, they were a bit surprised, haha, call me weak! We also tried the bulgigi beef toasty which was presented beautifully on top of a box, this is more of a one-person dish I think! We tried to share it because we both wanted to try it, and it was slightly difficult to cut 😆 it's probably best eaten while you hold the box. The beef was stewed for hours, it was pull apart tender and very juicy. We got some mocktails to go with the meal and they were both very nice, not too sweet and just the perfect amount of refreshing! They also do matcha latte for a very affordable price, but I am personally not matcha person so did not order that, but if you like it, I saw a few other tables ordering that, so I am guessing they serve a good matcha latte! Come give them some love, I think next time I'm coming here for...

INCREDIBLE. This place is the epitome of hidden gem. Due to its location we had never been past this place so had no idea what to expect. I got a strawberry matcha here earlier in the day and it was the best matcha in Wellingron i have ever had!!

We were not in the mood for full meals but wanted little bits of this and that therefore we ordered of the snack menu and had the following items Mozerella rolls , chicken wings, pork fries, crispy pork bao buns, coconut calamari, popcorn chicken and crispy wontons. Each dish was somehow better than the last! The mozzarella rolls were wrapped in spring rolls paper and served with an incredible pesto. The chicken wings were exactly what you wanted them to be, crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside and the creamy onion sauce was drinkble! The Bao buns were soft and fresh and I think they were made on sight. The calamari was soft and sweet and some of the best we have ever had. The crispy wontons were crunchy on the outside and so tender on the inside and The pork fries were a lovely finish. The staff were so incredibly friendly and attentive and the kai was all brought out at the perfect spacing. You will not regret having...
