"Kilala Bar and Kitchen is located in Mission Bay Auckland and is upstairs so you can sit on Balcony to watch traffic and pedestrians below enjoying their day in Mission Bay. It is a casual place to sit and eat food with very friendly staff. I like to have a cold beer with wedges. I have also had spring rolls, prawn twister, calamari rings, crispy squid tentacles which was very interesting as I haven't had those before. And I very much like the pork dumplings. So far the thing left to try is the Angus Burger. They also have gambling machines. They have good vibes and would be good to bring family for deep fried foods. I the evening they have music with flashing lights that would be great to dance with."
