Healthy food options at Auckland Lantern Festival tonight

The Team from

Got plans for dinner? Lots of delicious options at #lanternakl18 in AKL Domain, 4-10.30pm tonight. Check out our winners of the 2018 Healthier Menu Challenge: Zen E Kitchen & FRESH; honourable mentions to Special Pot, Xena Cuisine, & Hungarian Fried Bread.

Zen E Kitchen won for its great range of Chinese dishes cooked in healthy ways, like steaming and grilling, with lots of vegetables, mainly whole & unprocessed ingredients. Our judges thought it was great to see healthier traditional Chinese cultural foods and ways of cooking being featured and celebrated.

FRESH made a wonderful effort to embrace the spirit of the healthier menu challenge, loading up their poke bowls with lots of vegetables and nutritious protein, offered combos with water or healthier drinks; & provided clear nutritional info and made sure water was the cheapest drink available.
