I was able to find what I was looking for and when looking for around also found Something else for the kitchen cupboard, a staff asked if I needed help, I said ,told her what ai wanted ,she happily assisted me. Lovely lady who knew where to find what I had asked and went and got it for me and took it to the counter where I paid for it. Sorry didn't get the ladies name. Will go back to Chef's compliments again.

Fantastic array from all over the world of everything you could ever need for a kitchen dining experience. Shops like this don't exist anymore. A must visit in Taupo.
