South Island, New Zealand - The best salmon bacon quiche on the trip: Fairlie Bakehouse
#100 Ways to Travel
On a self-driving tour of New Zealand, on Highway 8 from Christchurch to Lake Tekapo, you will pass through the small town of Fairlie, where you must visit the Fairlie Bakehouse. The drive takes about 2.5 hours.
The place is packed with people during lunch time. The most famous dish is the quiche, which comes in many flavors, including bacon, salmon, smoked chicken, mushroom, beef, etc. The crust is baked crispy and hot, and the thick filling is very salty and fragrant. It is a perfect snack for a break if you order a cup of coffee.
Although you have to queue, the crowds are eaten up quickly and many people choose to take out. The most recommended flavor is the salmon bacon, which costs NZ$9.5 (approximately NT$188). It is the most expensive flavor along with the steak, but it is worth a try. The alpine salmon in the South Island of New Zealand is very famous.
