Chocolateria San Churro, South Brisbane, Brisbane

Brisbane March 26, 2015

Chocolateria San Churro is the perfect place to go if you love chocolate, rich cakes, bite sized chocolates and yes, churros. Although their coffee may not be the greatest, it does seem to be inconsistent during every of my revisits. It was quite empty when we came in but it soon became quite busy as people started to walk by and stop, trying to find seats would seem more of a wait than usual. I think South Bank really need to open up more desserts and coffee places for people to dine at and have more choices in going where despite the wait and all, but at least, choices are always good.

Rogue Bar and Bistro, Newstead, Brisbane

Alcohol March 21, 2015

An unusual spot to open up a restaurant in Newstead, but I guess, those unusual spots might be the thing that a restaurant needs to be able to bring in the diners. Rogue Bar and Bistro offers a wide range of dishes and is open for all three meals in a day. With its high top house exterior, minimal design, open kitchen, casual sofa dining, a bar area, a restaurant seating area, a mixture of what I may say caters for everyone.

Sushi Train, Westfield Chermside, Brisbane

Asian March 15, 2015

Sometimes it may take them for a while to get you seats when it starts getting busy. Service has gone down and has became worse and worse from the previous experiences. I find it quite shocking when you ask for "Ocha" at a Japanese eatery and the waiters replies "What?... What?.. Och what?.... Oh, Green tea?". 'Ocha' is a very common word used and in Japanese restaurants, even if the waiters are not Japanese, I would expect them to know basic Japanese food words.. Just disappointing..

Scuzi Caffe, Westfield Chermside, Brisbane

Alcohol March 11, 2015

Now, on a chilly afternoon, who would say no to a nice warm coffee and cake? No one right? Exactly, that's how we felt too.. Well, maybe I had a change of mind half way when reading the menu. Scuzi Caffe in the new area of Westfield Chermside do offer a wide variety of meals from breakfast up to dinner, but since we've already eaten, and we were quite tired of walking around, this was where we ended up..

Fat Noodle, Treasury Casino, Brisbane CBD

Alcohol March 05, 2015

It's not that I fancy this restaurant so much until I keep revisiting it, but sometimes, it is rather quite a convenient place to dine, the environment and the ambience as well. It wasn't that busy during lunch time so it was rather nice to dine at a more peaceful and not so noisy environment. If you like your Asian hawker style food, then give here a try since you may just find what you're missing on from back home or from your previous travels. The food ranges from Vietnamese cuisine to chinese, Indonesian to Thai and so on. The place is quite spacious with seatings available inside and out, bar seatings as well, oh and did I mention private function rooms too? It's nice to see restaurants that can cater for various needs and likes.

Vroom + Jocelyn's Provisions, James St, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane

Bakery February 27, 2015

It was rather a nice afternoon to have a coffee and cake moment, though we had a walk around James St looking at all the other cafes and restaurant, some were rather full whilst some were quite empty.. We were thinking of going to Campos, Gerards or At Sixes and Seves, well, there were just too many options. I wanted to get something sweet to nibble on and so we went to Jocelyn's Provisions..

Ku-o Japanese Restaurant, Market Square, Sunnybank, Brisbane

Asian February 17, 2015

Ku-o is one of the few Japanese restaurants in Market Square, Sunnybank. There aren't many seats available, maybe a few booths and then small tables in the middle. However, if you're around and don't feel like chinese or viet food, then have a try here, maybe some things will get your tastebuds going. We came here for lunch after I had just finished my classes for the day in uni and they do have lunch sets which includes a choice of a variety of dishes served with mini oden, salad, pickles and an Iced Barley Tea. However, we did not order the lunch set since we didn't want to eat too heavy.

Riverbar & Kitchen, Riparian Plaza, Eagle Street Pier, Brisbane CBD

Alcohol February 11, 2015

Riverbar Kitchen, on the Promenade level of Riparian Plaza in Eagle St Pier precinct, giving you views of the Story Bridge, what a view.. I have always enjoyed waterfront views when it comes to dining and living, especially when the weather is nice and the sun isn't scorching on you like a laser beam. Owned by celebrity chef and restaurateur Matt Moran, you wouldn't doubt the food nor the interior and ambience.. Well, sometimes you would but I guess it depends on first impressions and location..

Hosokawa Japanese Restaurant, Hamilton, Brisbane

Alcohol February 09, 2015

Hosokawa Japanese restaurant in Hamilton, along Racecourse road does its justice for traditional Japanese food, however, it may be hard to find street parking or you even may miss the place when you drive past. Do book before you come because sometimes, they may easily be fully booked even if sometimes you do see empty tables around. The restaurant is not as big as I thought it would be, with both indoor and outdoor seatings available.

Bon Ami Restaurant, Surabaya, Indonesia

Asian February 04, 2015

'Mie Goreng Jawa'

Bon Ami is one of your old traditional restaurant that sells Indonesian food, though, they do have Bon Cafe which offers steak and other various western dishes.. Wanting a simple but quick lunch, we decided to go to Bon Ami for lunch to get out of the heat for one but also just have a simple but yummy lunch over some cold drinks..
