Pukeko Cafe and Function Centre, Henderson

I love going to Kiwi Valley Farm Park to see all the animals, I especially love feeding the ducks, they have lamas, goats, sheep, emu's, peacocks and heaps more.  Oh yes and I really really like holding the bunny rabbits there are black and white ones.  The tractor ride is the bestest too.
After I  had feed all the animals there lunch, mum and me went to the Pukeko Cafe next door to the farm park.  I was feeling pretty hungry by then so we ordered fries and tomato sauce, a fluffy and mum an apple juice.

The fluffy was nice and came with two marshmallow's, it had a lot of fluff and I would have liked a little more milk at the bottom and it was cold so nice but not great and it had a boring cup.  But I still did like it and finished it all.  I liked the apple juice too and mum put a straw in it which I always like.
The fries where really yummy, crisp and came with sauce and mayo plus a big bowl of them.  Mum and me went to check out the toys but they where really dirty and not very nice.  A $100 spent here especially when next to a children's farm park would do wonders and maybe a Wendy house to play in too oh with a table and chairs or those mini b/q tables.

Fluffy 2/5 **
Fries 5/5 *****
Cleanliness 3/5 *** just because the toys where so dirty
Service *** 3/5 the waitress was really smiley which was nice
Atmosphere of the cafe 3/5 ***

Over all rating 3/5 ***

Its been such beautiful weather over the last week and a half so mum decided she needed a few plants for the garden.  I loooove gardening the bestest bit is picking the strawberries but I do have to squirrel under the bird netting to get them which is fun, yummy yummy.  We are still waiting for the tomatoes because its been a very rainy summer mum said.

Anyway we went to the Kings Garden Cafe, Silverdale which is so cooool because it is a garden centre with a cafe at the back of it.  We went to the cafe first and I had my usual a fluffy, mum had an apple juice and I got a yoyo and mum got a muffin.  The muffin was really yummy, really big I had to use two hands to bite it (oh yes that was mummy's muffin, opps eee) and my yoyo was massive too, crumbly with passionfruit icing in the middle I took that home for later because I couldn't eat it all.

The fluffy was disappointing and there was a marshmallow in the bottom, on theory this is a nice idea but since I drink them little my mummy drinks her coffee its abit of a choking hazard.  And the fluffy wasn't that great.  The wicker chair where great though, and it was very busy.

Afterwards I got to run around the garden centre, I especially love going over the bridge with the pond with the gold fish in it, we spent about 1/2 hour doing this.  Mum was a meany and said we had to go,  so I decided to do my supergirl and launch myself onto the bridge onto my tummy and cry for abit.  I find this technique works well and we stayed for another 10 minutes :).

Me and mum stop here all the time and I just love it!! We always get the chips which come in a big bowl for around $6 with aioli and tomato sauce (my favourite).  The lady knows us there now and she is always lovely and she makes the best fluffys, so sometimes I have two. Mum sometimes get a mini pizza and she says they are really yummy, but I love my chips to much so I just have those.

There is an inside kids corner with really old typewriters, a chalk board and once upon a time Thomas the Tank Engine things but there are only a few bits left but I still like playing with these.  The kids corner is looking a bit sad and it would be great if they spent $100 and got some other toys in and had a cleaning session on the toys, I think they would get there money back big time.

There is an outside area but I have never been in. There are high chairs as well but I sit on the big chairs now.  Even though the kids area is good but not great I still love going, and it is great for families with having beautiful big rustic looking tables and an outdoor area with tables.

Fluffy Rating - **** 4/5
Food Rating - ***** 5/5
Kid friendliness ****4/5 if the play area better 5/5
Other all **** 4/5
