Okay.. I finally tried Kwan Bros, though after a long delay of not trying them when they opened. I finally visited Kwan Bros and made new friends along the way too. Kwan Bros is the newest establishments of Damien Griffith's line up of restaurants, following Alfred and Constance, Alfred's Pizzeria and Chester Street Bakery. Though parking may be a hassle once you realise it's in the Valley, but don't worry, Kwan Bros offers free parking right in front of the restaurant, just remember to get it validated. Before I go on, Kwan Brothers isn't really your typical asian restaurant, nor is it your typical western restaurant, I may just call it as a fusion.. but, not as a fusion of normal typical asian food, but focusing more on street food. This includes, hawker markets of Singapore, street carts of Bangkok and Izakayas of Tokyo.. Now, where should I begin?
Though this may not be Le Bon Choix in the CBD, this place may be known as the original Le Bon Choix until it changed its name to French and Mor. Offering a wide variety of freshly baked breads, salads, sandwiches and of course, offering Le Bon Choix cakes. Located in Albany Creek in a humble shopping complex, we came for brunch or maybe it was lunch, I can't recall.. there were a few parking spots available though it may get filled quickly.

Little Larder lies at the corner of Moray St and Barker St, named one of the best brekky place around in New Farm, we came here. We arrived in the morning and it was quite not too hard finding parking since there were street parking available. Seats were available but limited as the other tables and seats seemed to have been filled.. Before coming, I had a quick look through at the menu online so I had an idea of what to order.. well, unless something changed my mind..
Just recently I was contacted to try Brumby's Bakery's new Gourmet cookies with Lindt chocolate for the Winter season. I do love my cookies, my chocolates, my baking, though not so much when it comes to sweets or even desserts that are too sweet. Sadly I didn't hear the knock in the morning, but when I was checking the mailbox, I found a little box placed in front of my front door. It was quite hot during that time so I was quite scared that it might melt or maybe the ants might have gotten to it before I did..
Was wandering around Toowong one day and found this cafe in the corner in front of Toowong Village. I've kind of seen it but maybe didn't really pay much attention to it as it didn't really appeal to me as much. Though on this day, for some reason, I ended up here.. I've only glanced across it when going from Uni to Train Station but I guess it was time for me to try it as it seemed kind of the only decent cafe around..

Fine Food Queensland, Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, Brisbane
Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre July 14, 2014
I know, I know.. this may be very late to post but I have quite been busy and since currently being on uni holidays, I might say.. I do have more time to do this and that and trying to update and post as much as I can, though maybe not too much because then the blog will get bombarded.. Well, here is my review of the annual event of Fine Food Queensland which was also held in Western Australia but Fine Food Queensland was held this year in April. For a thorough introduction regarding the event, please click Fine Food Queensland and read about it.
Guyliannnnnnnn... Oh, chocolate goodness.. Oh, Lindt, Godiva, Haigh's, Hersheys, Royce and so many more chocolate brands that you could ever think of. Well, I think they really need more specialized chocolate stores in Brissie I might say, other than San Churros or Max Brenner or Monty's or Dello Mano and so on. Originated from Belgium in 1960, sold in more than 100 countries worldwide, you may know their famous Guylian seashells too and they still remain faithful to their original praline recipe..
One of the many Korean BBQ places in southside is Goong Charcoal BBQ Korean Restaurant on Pinelands Road, just on the 2nd level of the asian food precinct just right next to the petrol station. Parking is a bit tight since it does get filled quite easily and since many people just don't have the right manners or do whatever they like, sometimes there are parking issues where people do end up parking in not-allowed spaces or even go on top of the grass or block doors and so on.. They were serving both a-la-carte and a $25 buffet at the time and we felt like having Korean BBQ, so we opted for the buffet.
