New Zealand Cantonese Chinese Restaurants and Take Aways.
Researching the History for future publication of a book.
The first Chinese man, Appo Hocton, arrived in New Zealand in 1853 and was naturalised. In the 1860s,Chinese immigrants were invited to New Zealand by the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce to replace the western goldminers who had followed the gold-fever to Australia.
Logically, there will have been Chinese food served from 1853.
Looking for names, owners and dates for all towns and cities.
