EDITED: PISTACHIO BARS GONE

These didn’t really turn out really well as a bit has cracked & not even filling the moulds up enough with chocolate 😂😭 so I’m sorry these ain’t perfect hahaha but I guess it beats making some then not make any at all 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

There are just a few bars for today whanau my apologies! So I have:

4x PISTACHIO BARS (2 bars will only be $6.00 due to being cracked but others will remain at $10.00)

5x Small chocolate brownie bars for just $5.00!

PLEASE COMMENT TO CLAIM THEM! Cos getting msgs gets a bit overwhelming 😂😭 like I have to choose who gets what hahaha but there we go whanau!

Arohaina Kai

" Arohaina kai " Started from a dream that we turned into reality 🤍

The name Arohaina is my daughter's middle name, meaning to be loved and kai meaning food . Which I felt resonated the meaning behind our business.

I have a strong passion for the hospitality industry and food in which I have been working in for 16 years now . From events to hotels, cafes, restaurants and bars I've done it all. Now having a little mini me running around it was hard to keep up to the strong demands of late nights and early mornings in our industry . So why not still do what I love and live a balanced life with my daughter, which is what brought me here .

Being able to connect with new people everyday and serve them a delicious kai that leaves them feeling fullfilled and having a banter and laugh at the same time, is what brings value to my day .

At Arohaina Kai we strive to bring you New Zealand's authentic indigenous flavours that you can take home and enjoy at the dinner table with your whanau 🫶🏽

Arohanui and welcome to Arohaina Kai 🤎💖🤎

Hey everyone!🫶🏽

Soooo heres our reviews back from my lovely customers that got their hands on our bars we made first time! 👀😍 honestly safe to say I’m proud of the outcome! 🥰 Now it’s time to say we’re going to be taking pre orders for the 1st & 2nd of August.
Due to it being my baby’s birthday in a couple of weeks & also getting our car on the road! 🤭 one thing ticked off our list hehe now just aiming for our whare! 🤍
Also would be enough time for more chocolate trays to come so I can push out them orders asap! 🤭 Still NO SHIPPING just yet whanau😂 wait till I’ve gotten used to doing these bars & also different flavours of chocolate bars for yous to try🥴so bare with me & I will for sure let yous know & post up regarding to shipping😊

Another thing too, please bare with me if I’ve been a bit slack & all with orders, replying late etc! Slowly getting back into our routine after being sick as well as my baby it takes awhile due to him suffering with bronchiolitis every time we hit winter! 🤦🏽‍♀️ he’s always had it ever since he was a newborn, so I always have to work around him & can’t really do much orders unless he’s at kura 🥰 that’s why it’s important when yous place an order to let me know if yous have appointments,mahi etc so I can either have your order done by 2pm or after 2pm (like 4-5pm) 🥰
Other then that whanau that’s all for tonight thought I’d put it out there & let yous know now about the chocolate bars we are going to be doing 🤍
Thank yous all !☺️
