Friday is here and we couldn't be happier about it! Whether your week was filled with stacks of emails, stressful times or days snuggled up sick in bed (because let's be honest, it's freezing in little NZ lately), the Remix Friday Favourites will push aside those weekday blues and kickstart your fab weekend. From your Saturday night out to your Sunday snacking sessions, this week FF's has you covered on all your beauty, foodie and fun-loving needs. 

Cafe Hanoi's new menu

Foodies rejoice - Cafe Hanoi's winter menu is here and it will surely get your taste buds tingling! Based down in Britomart, this little Vietnamese hub has dishes full of fresh flavours perfect for a weekend date night. Created by their new executive chef Nathan Houpapa, their latest menu features all the usual faves but introduces a flavoursome raw section featuring fresh oysters, delicious Hue-style beef tartare and tasty raw fish with lemongrass, chilli and Thai basil oil. But if you're looking to warm up on these cold winter nights choose Cafe Hanoi's new aromatic duck curry with kumara and coconut or the caramelised pork belly hotpot. It's making us hungry just writing about it!

Check out the mouth-watering new menu here.
