Silver service at Z Kāpiti

Do you know the feeling when you see something totally odd while doing the most mundane thing, and your mind just doesn’t register. Well that happened to my daughter and I when pulling into the Z station to fill up on Kāpiti Road this morning.

The sight was smiling turbaned owner Ras, coming towards us, crystal platter in hand to offer drivers breakfast from his selection of fine foods from the new breakfast menu being launched today.

“I am offering breakfast to the ladies with the biggest smiles,” he said, not knowing that our smiles, were induced by bewilderment. They were soon replaced by smiles of appreciation as we tucked into bacon and scrambled egg croissants and a pastry wrapped kransky on the house.

Not meaning to turn into free advertising, but the food on this exciting new brekkie time menu is superb and well priced, from $3 – $6.90. I’m not sure that it will be served up silver service style to your vehicle by the forecourt concierge every day, but I do know that Ras is certainly enjoying the experience of being able to chat with his customers and meet us one by one.
