Piki Poke, The Crossing
Lyttelton ski maker
teams up with
champagne company
Veuve Clicquot has teamed up
with Lyttelton’s Kingswood Skis
to release 10 pairs of limited
edition skis.
The Kingswood X Clicquot
collaboration skis have a bold
colourama print with a hardwearing
finish.
Founded by Kris and Alex
Herbert in Lyttelton in 2005,
Kingswood Skis is a boutique,
hand-made ski maker wellknown
for its durable skis with
bold graphic prints.
The 10 pairs of limited edition
skis, which will be hand-made by
Alex in the Lyttelton workshop,
have been created for the
Clicquot in the Snow festival in
Queenstown in August.
“We are honoured to be
collaborating with Verve
Clicquot on their annual winter
champagne festival to develop
this limited-edition ski. It’s such a
natural fit. With this collaboration,
we’re celebrating winter and the
joy of things made well,” Alex
said.
The limited edition run of
Clicquot Skis will be available to
order direct from Kingswood Skis.
Matariki night markets at the
Arts Centre
The Arts Centre will host night markets for
the first time next week to celebrate Matariki.
The markets, on July 6 and 7, will take place
from 4pm-10pm. There will be kapa haka
performances, live New Zealand music,
traditional kai and favourites such as fish and
chips and pavlova, along with New Zealand
arts, crafts, and jewellery. The markets are
among a number of events the Arts Centre
is holding to celebrate Matariki, which is the
Maori name for the cluster of stars also known
as the Pleiades. The cluster rises in mid-winter
and marks the start of a new year.
Dimitris now open near
Plymouth Lane
Dimitris Greek Food cart has returned to
the central city. The iconic Greek eatery
which opened more than 20 years ago
reopened in Cashel Mall near Plymouth
Lane on Friday. It used to be in Re:START,
which later became the container mall,
until it closed in April to make way for the
new Riverside Market. Dimitris will have a
permanent store in that new development
when it opens early next year. Others can
get their fix at the Riccarton Rd store.
If you’re after a fresh and light lunch
option, say aloha to Piki Poke.
It specialises in poke bowls, a
Hawaiian dish consisting of rice, salad,
marinated fish and toppings.
Up until February, it was a little
experienced cuisine in Christchurch.
That is until Piki Poke opened on the
second floor of The Crossing.
The concept is simple: Choose your
base, protein, three salad ingredients,
sauce and the toppings sprinkled over
at the end.
I went for a sesame slaw for the base
topped with raw tuna as the protein.
For the salad garnishes I ran the
grated beetroot, edamame beans and
seaweed salad.
Of the seven sauce options, I opted for
the creamy wasabi mayo, then topped
with whole roasted peanuts, sesame
seeds and crunchy fried shallots.
There are two serving sizes, a regular
or a large. Don’t underestimate the
regular, which I had, because it’s more
filling than it looks.
If you want to stop in for lunch, be
warned. It is a small space and the
queue can go out the door. While it
may not be the best atmosphere to eat,
it’s a short stroll to The Terrace.
