Tucked in the corner of the L-shaped building bordering the Countdown supermarket, you can see the doorway with the sign Simply the Best Takeaways.
Locals know to call ahead and be given a time, otherwise be prepared to wait up to an hour. Yes, it is very busy.
Operated by Mike and Jenny Shum for the past two years, Simply the Best is now famous in Te Awamutu.
Mike is no stranger to the fish and chip business, having helped out since the age of 10 in his father's fish shop
But rather than take over that business, Mike went to university and became an accountant.
Always wanting to run their own business, Mike and Jenny bought the takeaway bar and put their "own spin on it and it's really grown from there," Mike says.
With the business growing, Mike decided to quit his accountancy job to work alongside his wife Jenny.
Now with a staff of five working alongside the Shums they're flat out producing the traditional fare of fried food, burgers, salads and juices.
"Our staff are important as they work hard and have the same standard and passion as we do," Mike says.
The menu is simple: three types of fish (snapper, gurnard and hoki), sausages, patties, spring rolls and burgers.
Simply the Best also offers a gluten-free option that's cooked in a separate fryer.
They work at delivering the freshest product to their customers, so have a good quality control system for the storage and handling of food.
"Our big thing is fish. It's freshly filleted, battered and cooked for each order, and although it takes more time, it's worth it." Mike says.
Draining time is also key, as is the production line to get orders out on time.
Rated : 4.9/5
The freshly battered fish (hoki) wasn't greasy and didn't leave that fatty aftertaste you sometimes get. The other fresh fish choices on the menu were gurnard and snapper. The chips were golden and crunchy on the outside, perfect on the inside. Source stuff.co.nz

This is your chance to celebrate your hood by sharing stories, photos or video. We really want to see and hear about the people in your neighbourhood. Portraits or videos of our neighbourhood champions, or the people that to you personify your community or ‘hood’. This year we’re doing it a little differently. To help focus (excuse the photography pun) we’ve chosen three themes.
1 – I Heart the History of My Hood
Everywhere we live has history, and stories. Do you know your hood’s history? Or maybe you know someone who has lived in the community for what seems like a million years, and know the place like that back of their hand. Was your hood the birth place of the women’s vote, or maybe site of the biggest lamington ever made way back in 53′ ….(Yes I know, random, but honestly we’re interesting in anything and everything)… By the way – this is also an awesome way to get our older ‘story tellers’ involved.
2 – I Heart Diversity in my Hood
New Zealand really has become a melting pot and that brings with it the rainbow of diversity of all kinds. Maybe you have the ‘united nations’ living on one street, maybe your neighbourhood pot luck dinners are better and more interesting than an international food fair could every dream of! We want to see and hear about it.
3 – I Heart My Healthy Hood
With our clean green image, amazing fresh foods, picture perfect outdoor environment, we know there are neighbourhoods out there that personify ‘health’. Is your neighbourhood or neighbour one of them? It could be through a neighbourhood walking group, or a ‘from garden to plate thanks to the shared neighbourhood community garden’ kind of thing. It might be a neighbourhood that has committed to getting the kids off screens and outside, or maybe its a whole street of cross fit power vegans ….. probably not … but you never know. What ever it is, we want to see and hear about it.

So get snapping and chatting. We have more information on I Heart My Hood available on facebook and on our website.
