Before going for our stargazing expedition, we had to fill up our tummies with some solid food. Kohan was top of our list since it is the number one restaurant at Lake Tekapo. The owner, chefs and staff are all Japanese. Hence, the food is as authentic as it can be in a foreign land with alooooot of food import restrictions like New Zealand. 😎

The Tempura Bento (top pic) has salmon maki, sashimi, teriyaki chicken with greens, beef sukiyaki with broccoli, omelette, miso soup, fruits and a plate of tempuras consisting prawn, cod fish, and veggies. What a sumptuous bento! 😋

Kohan Bento (bottom pic) is like another pandora box where we found fried salmon, fried chicken with tonkatsu sauce, fried prawn with tartar sauce and greens, sashimi, omelette, miso soup and fruits. In NZ, tipping is not required and there is no GST and service charge. So we reckoned we stuffed ourselves more than what we paid for! 😆
