🥟 Yum Cha at home? Yes please!

If you haven't tried Kai Sum yet, these are well worth making room in the freezer for.

We've got dumplings, dim sims, spring rolls, bao buns and BBQ buns. Basically, all the good stuff that makes it impossible to choose just one thing at Yum Cha. 😂

Kai Sum is a family-run business based in Upper Hutt, with chefs who have over 30 years of experience making traditional Yum Cha food.

We reckon that's a pretty good reason to let someone else do the cooking tonight!

Anyone else guilty of ordering far too much at Yum Cha? 🥢

🥚 Labour Weekend Hours!

Just a heads-up that our Levin shop will be closed on Labour Day Monday, but we'll be here over the weekend for all your egg and grocery needs!

🐔 Saturday & Sunday: 9am - 12.30pm (normal hours)

🥚 Monday: CLOSED

So don't leave your egg shopping until Monday… that would be a bit of a scramble! 😂

Have a great long weekend, everyone! ❤️

You can use it in store for your approved food and grocery purchases. 🥚🥛🍞

Just something handy to know when you’re doing the weekly shop. 😊

Turns out you knew what you were talking about… 😂🔥

We had a few of you asking us to bring Pepper & Me into the shop, so we did and they’re already proving VERY popular!

We’ve got a great range of their sauces, seasonings and all those little extras that make an easy dinner taste like you’ve put in far more effort than you actually have. 😂

Thanks for the recommendation, keep the product requests coming! We really do listen to what you’d like to see on our shelves. ❤️

🥚 World Egg Day calls for bacon, surely? 🥓

We thought today was as good a day as any to give one of our fridge favourites a proper introduction...Pestell’s Rai Bacon Company.

Made in Nelson by third-generation butchers, it’s dry cured, Manuka smoked, gluten free and made with no artificial preservatives. Proper, full-flavoured bacon that goes VERY well with our fresh free range eggs. 🍳

And because it’s World Egg Day, we feel like we should leave you with an egg joke…

What day do eggs hate the most? Fry-day. 😂🥚

Luckily it’s Friday, so you know what to do with them - add bacon!

📍 272 Roslyn Road, Levin
⏰ Open this weekend 9am–12.30pm

🍣 Sushi Sorted! 🍣

Looking for something a little different to do with the kids these school holidays? Why not get them making their own sushi for dinner?

It's a bit of fun, gets everyone involved in the kitchen, and the best part is they get to choose exactly what goes in their rolls (which might save a few dinner complaints 😂).

We've got some of the essentials ready here at The Big Egg:

🥢 Sushi rice
🥢 Nori seaweed
🥢 Wasabi
🥢 Sashimi soy sauce
🥢 Rice w**e

Add some fresh Turk's chicken or whatever fillings your whānau loves, and you're away!

They might not be the prettiest sushi rolls you've ever seen, but that's half the fun. 😂🍣

🥜 The snack shelf just got a whole lot better!

🍿 New addition to the shelves – 3 Monkeys Kettle Corn!

This stuff comes with a warning… it’s VERY hard to stop once you open the bag 😂

3 Monkeys Kettle Corn is made right here in NZ, popped by hand using NZ-grown corn and quality NZ ingredients.

It’s crunchy, fresh and seriously good – plus it’s gluten free, dairy free and vegan.

Perfect for movie night, lunchboxes, road trips… or eating in the car before you even make it home. We won’t judge.

Pop in and grab a bag and let us know what you think! 🍿
