TRY SOME KAI | WESTGATE LIFESTYLE

Some things in life are steadfast and indisputable… like the fact that any shopping trip is better when food and refreshments are included. It’s an utter bonus if the shopping hub you are heading to offers the opportunity for a coffee or smoothie, and solidly good solids too!

Well, Westgate Lifestyle delivers on that front, with four food outlets offering a perfectly diverse range of options.

Fancy some sushi anyone? Thanks St Pierre’s – don’t forget this sushi store offers kid sizes (great for the lunchboxes or an afternoon tea stop) and platters that are perfect if you are entertaining or in charge of work catering. St Pierre’s and Pan India also accept Kiwi Property Gift cards, so keep that in mind.

Or how about a nice curry? That idea sounds especially appealing today – comfort food on yet another lousy weather day. Thanks to Pan India, there’s a chance to treat your taste buds to some Indian cuisine and opening hours suit those wanting to make an after-work detour for a takeaway pickup. Pan India is open until 6.30pm six days a week, and then until 8.30 on late-night Thursday. And yes, open on time to ensure Indian cuisine is a lunchtime option too.

Need something deliciously savoury or sweet to start the day? Hollywood Bakery is a true star – open at 7.30am on weekdays, and from 8am on the weekend – there to deal with the hunger bugs biting at breakfast time and right up to 5.30pm seven days a week.

And then there’s Tank too, with the team on action also seven days a week blending, pressing and juicing, because as they say, a Tank stop is one of the easiest ways to make your diet a whole lot healthier. If you need a start-me-up, a boost of mega greens, some life-force protein, or just a massive dose of fruit we associate with sunshine and the tropics … it’s all on offer at Tank. And don’t forget there the salad and wrap options too.

If you are reading this and “yum” is the word that comes to mind, then I hear you. I’m also applauding the convenience of it all, with Westgate Lifestyle offering right-outside parking and plenty of it, and these super sustenance stops open seven days. Thanks St Pierre’s, Pan India, Hollywood Bakery and Tank, for the integral part you play in adding to the goodness of a Westgate Lifestyle shopping excursion.
