Though widely known for its breakfast dishes and its individuality in them, came in a bit too late one day so only a few of the breakfast dishes were available. Ended up choosing from their lunch menu but I reckon their breakfast will probably be as good. A bit quiet for an early lunch time, with only a few tables filled, but as time passed by, more people started to come in. Named one of the best, and currently the best breakfast spot in Brisbane, and I won't need to go against it either, and you'll see why..
'The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf', an American coffee chain that started back in 1963 and has evolved till now to being the largest and oldest privately held coffee and tea chain in the US.. Using only the top 1% of Arabica Beans, roasted at a specific degree to develop that richness on its final taste, may it be light or medium roasted. Their tea comes from lush tea plantations in Sri Lanka, China, Kenya, Japan and others.. Their branch has grown so much, in South East Asia too being one of the competitors in coffee chains along with Starbucks Coffee etc.
Starbucks Coffee offers your usual drinks and also assorted cakes and sandwiches. Having a branch basically everywhere, though in Brisbane may not be as much, they do have a high rating and turnout as in customers wise. The American chain seems to be doing well worldwide. Whilst waiting for my flight to Singapore, I couldn't be bothered walking around the airport or such so decided to have drink and a nibble and Starbucks was just the place to be.
Ta Wan, a chinese restaurant offering a wide range of Chinese dishes but specializing in porridges. Branches around Jakarta and Surabaya is widely known amongst the locals. Came here for a quick dinner before going to Spazio for late night drinks, quite busy as it was dinner time and usually since the population here is more than it is in Aus, the restaurants do tend to be filled quite quickly.
It's been awhile since I've gone out for Greek food, and what better way to go out and book a table (in advance) to Char Char Yiros. At first, I wasn't sure whether to book Char Char Yiros or Lefkas or even Little Greek, but made up my mind and here it is.. Bookings do tend to get full quickly so I would recommend booking in advance in any of these three Greek restaurant as you can probably tell when you walk around West End, they are usually packed as when you walk past..
Boncafe Steak & Ice Cream is one of the many restaurants offering Western food at a somewhat affordable price. They specialise in steaks that focuses on quality and price. Though it cannot be compared to upper-class western restaurants, this restaurant and branches around the city has been serving since 1977. Serving steaks on hot plates,
The Burrow, located in West End, just around the surroundings of the ever-known Three Monkeys and Gunshop Cafe.. A place which you won't miss due to its design, on a queenslander which you would figure out once you enter but from the front, a wooden house, with trees at the sides..
Sydney Madang may be called one of the best Korean restaurants in Sydney, hiding away in a dark alleyway in Pitt St. We were actually wanting to go to a different restaurant but since that was either too far or too hard to find, we decided to change our destination to Madang. With no banner or signs ahead or out in the street, it is quite hard to find it since we weren't Sydney locals but I'm sure the locals can find it just fine with their frequent visits and all. At night it may be much more visible with their light up signs infront of the restaurant which you would be able to see whilst walking past the alleyway, however during lunchtime, it wasn't such an advantage with the kind of dodgy alleyway, small entrance, a big sprinkler booster right next to it and all..
Sometimes the hidden cafes out in the suburbs may surprise you.. Though most of the top rated restaurants are located around the cbd area, this little cottage cafe is in Oatley, a suburb about 18km from the CBD offers a wide range of breakfast and lunch dishes in such a homey ambience..
Hanaichi is probably the most popular Japanese fast food available in Brisbane, which started a while back and originated in heart of Brisbane CBD. Now it has branches all over Australia including Gold Coast, Sydney and Sydney.. Offering a range of popular basic Japanese dishes, it has won the hearts and tongue of many people out there.. Though prices has gone up over the years, but you can still get them for under $10.. Just recently, they started offering Mini sizes in Westfield Chermside which I was quite surprised about.. Though the prices reminded of me of their regular size prices back then, and now regular and large sizes has gone up, here comes the kid's size..
