Couple Ben & Stancy have been regulars at the teahouse since 2006. It has been 4 years now and their family has expanded to include 3 year-old and new born daughters Lalita and Kishori. On 7 October, they visited the teahouse again. Proud father of two, Ben presented a special thank you card with Kishori’s 2 day old photo to the staff of the teahouse as a gesture of gratitude for their kind hospitality and to share his bundle of joy and blessing.
Little Kishori was born at home on 10 September , weighing 8.8 pounds. Her dad Ben is of South African descent and migrated to NZ 16 years ago.He is a member of Hare Krishna and a full fledged vegetarian. He rates the food in the teahouse the best vegetarian food he has tasted in NZ. He often brings friends to enjoy the food in the teahouse as well. One of his favourites is the lemon G rice. He could not conceal his excitement when sharing about his wish to participate in the upcoming Baby Blessing and the Renewal of Matrimonial Vow ceremonies on 17 October. He hopes to bring sweet memories of an unforgettable spring day to the family.
