Dining out at Hakatere Noodle Festival

Dining out at Hakatere Noodle Festival
Eddrick Reusora, 6, loving his noodles at the Hakatere noodle Festival at Naring Square East.

There was some wind and rain for the Hakatere Noodle Festival but it didn't stop an estimated 6,000 people attending over the six-hours. Guardian reporter Anisha Satya popped over to capture the event (Disclaimer: she was there for the food and took a camera to claim it was work).
