King of Snake, Christchurch, New Zealand

My main criteria for picking a restaurant in New Zealand was that it had to have seafood. It is, after all, an island surrounded by the sea, and should therefore have plenty of that. It turns out that it is also an island nation with enough sheep to outnumber every resident several times over, and therefore there is a lot of everything on offer. All that is to explain how even though my spouse is not a huge fan of Asian fusion, we ended up at such a place. The King of Snake was both an easy walk from our hotel and open on Monday night. It is on the second floor at it's address and newly locaed there, so no signage, and so we had to circle the building a couple times and ask for help before we actually arrived. The menu had quite a lot of seafood options, as well as something I haven't seen much of but saw often in New Zealand, which is the ability to chose how many of an appetizer you wanted. We got just two of a few things, a taste really, but it allowed us to try a few more things, and of course, if we had found something we had to have more of it was so amazing, we could do that as well. Everything we ordered was delicious, and I would definitely go back if I was to be back in Christchurch again--the atmosphere was not to my taste, but I can overlook a lot when the food is good.
