12th July - Matariki weekend 🌟

Forbidden City Kitchen team will be absent on the 12th July in observance of Matariki. That’s very important for us to celebrate the Matariki with my the other half and their family, also take chance to have a break for ourselves.

We will be recharged and be at the Southern Farmers Market the week after (19th July) wait for you!

A massive thank you for who has visited us at Gore Winter Fete today, especially the customers from Invercargill! We were so excited to see all of your familiar faces! 🥰

🎤 To the Gore locals, you guys emptied 6 of our chilly bins with wontons and dumplings! Thank you very much for your support and referral on the day and a lot of compliments! We will definitely be back.

We are considering join the monthly market in Gore to get your wee Chinese food fix. Watch the space! Or come to Invercargill, visit us at Southern Farmers Market every Sunday otherwise ☺️

Time to rest up now. Do all again end of next week!
