Fasta Pasta, Aspley, Brisbane

Aspley May 26, 2016

Lunch deals are a great option to try the different dishes on offer but do note that none of the lunch dishes are available on the main menu. I do assure you that their pizza doughs are more delicious than you may think, not like your ordinary takeaway doughs. Yes, you can even order and get takeaways to bring back home to share with family and friends. Having a wide variety of pasta dishes allows you to choose what you like as well as for those who aren't feeling like pasta, then why not try some of their mains such as Barra or Steak and so on.

Donut Boyz, Westfield Garden City, Upper Mount Gravatt, Brisbane

Brisbane May 06, 2016

Donut Boyz is one of the many donut businesses nowadays trying to get everyone back to their donut craze back in the days. Don't think of your usual cinnamon donuts, these are sugar glazed or jam filled, even topped with your favourites. Starting by a trial of a pop-up stall selling homemade donut and having many sold out donuts every day, it was said that they even regularly sell more than 1500 donuts in just a few hours. Since then, they expanded and opened in multiple locations.

Seeing that we were having a walk in the mall, we decided to stop by and grab some donuts as they were in the mall and seemed quite convenient rather than us having to go out and grab them off their food trucks elsewhere. Some were sold out and sadly some of the flavours we had wanted to try and buy originally were not available and so, we ended up buying other flavours that were available.

'Malted Milkshake' ($5) was a vanilla glaze donut with malt custard filling and chocolate crispies on top.

'Aunty Violet' ($5) was a honeycomb glazed donut with caramel custard filling and pop rocks on top. A sweet throughout donut having a honeycomb glaze and caramel custard inside it. I prefer the Malted Milkshake if I had to choose one out of the two.

'Caramel Nerd' ($5) was a caramel glaze and has salted caramel nerds on top. I have to say that this was quite sweet compared to the others and that's no surprise being all caramel. I quite liked the salted caramel nerds on top as it balanced the sweetness overall with the salty little pops.

American Doughnut Kitchen, Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne CBD

American July 23, 2015

Now, for your Melbourners, you don't have to worry about this and you guys would probably already know what I'm going to write about. But for those who has never been to Melbourne or Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne, then you are missing out big time mates.. Of course, Queen Victoria Markets is filled with goodness, from fresh fruit and veges to fresh baked pastries or deli cheeses and cured meats, even handmade goods or your fresh fishes, you can find it all here, all under one roof. It doesn't open everyday but when it does, it will be good if you could come before lunchtime because it does get packed quite easily. It's always nice walking through the markets on a chilly day in Melbourne. Now, this little ball of goodness above is a Queen Victoria Market visit must-have, oh this is a definite fix you must entice yourself upon whenever you go to Queen Vic, don't ask why, just do it and after you have taken a bite, I'm pretty sure you will fall in love with it as much as I did.

Pizza Capers' new Rustico Thin Base review

New Rustico Thin Base June 22, 2015

When I heard that Pizza Capers was launching their new Rustico Thin Base, it got me thinking.. Will it be those really thin bases that when you pick your pizza slice up, it will just get soggy down the bottom? Pizza Capers said it will be full of flavour, made in store using quality ingredients and a traditional recipe. Along with their generous toppings, the thin base would be complemented well. Let's have a try shall we?

PJ's Steaks, West End, Brisbane

Alcohol October 21, 2014

Philly cheesesteaks has gone back as far as we can imagine it to, reminds me of those street hotdog vendors in America in which you would see basically everywhere. Since the American feel has been booming here in Brissie, I do have to say, sometimes you don't really need the up-end restaurants to have a decent hearty or that American authenticity taste. Located in West End, PJ's Steaks do serve your freshly baked roll filled with rib eye fillet with assorted ingredients or toppings, and of course, topped up with cheese.

Domino's Pulled Pork Range Review

Brisbane September 30, 2014

Good Ol' Dominos, they've recently released their new Pulled Pork range which consisted of three different varieties of Pulled Pork pizzas. Now, pulled pork is everywhere at the moment, it's basically a hit in restaurants around here. Don't let the name 'pulled pork' hold you back or under estimate it, it's not as easy as you think to cook pulled pork. Pork meat pulled apart? Well, not exactly.. it's pork meat being slow cooked at a low temperature until it becomes tender to pull itself apart without you having to put extra effort by getting your forks and pulling the meat off each other.. Domino's gave me the chance to try their new range and who could say no to pizza and pulled pork? Oh, and also without having to move an inch or get out of the house and drive to pick it up..

Review of Menulog.com.au + JGs Gourmet Italian Pizza Delivery

Australia August 20, 2014

Some of you may have heard about Menulog, but for some, you probably haven't. Well, have you ever wanted to order your favourite chinese takeaway or pizzas etc online but there never seem to be a website for those restaurants or maybe there's just no website that is able to combine all of the different variety of restaurants and cuisines all in one, making it easier for you to browse, choose and order...
