Wagamama, Wintergarden, Brisbane CBD

Alcohol October 25, 2012

Newly refurbished reconstructed Wintergarden in the Brisbane CBD has the feeling of a garden.. with the butterflies and flowers imprinted mostly everywhere I go around the corner... The very top level consists of the restaurants and entertainment area which were also refurbished, and do i have to say that they look much nicer and better than how it used to be... Went to Wagamama for a catch-up sesh and truthfully, my previous experience in Wagamama wasn't that good or maybe it was just my asian tongue being disturbed by the asian fusion feeling I felt when I was there... Wagamama started in London's Bloomsbury in 1992 inspired by their traditional japanese ramen bars and asian flavours... Mainly focusing on Japanese dishes, it has spread all around the world...

Oishii Sushi Bar, Sunnybank Hills, Brisbane

Asian September 30, 2012

variety of fusion(ed) sushis

I've been here a couple of times but never had the chance of reviewing it, so i'm doing it now.. Oishii Sushi Bar is located in a little shopping complex called Pinelands Centre... Its surroundings only has restaurants ranging from Oishii themself, a chinese restaurant next to them, a Korean BBQ restaurant upstairs and others.. It is not Japanese owned or operated Japanese restaurant, and I did end up knowing the owner and a chat with them everytime I do come by.. They're really nice owners and are very friendly.. But I do have to say, out of all the sushi restaurants I have eaten around, whether it's in southside or northside or in the city area, I would have to say that this might be the best sushi around in Brissy.. Their sushi may be fusion as I may call it as there are sushi that they do have that you wouldn't be able to find anywhere else or another word would be, unique or not typical..

Definitely worth a try for many of the international students who misses their asian dishes from their country roots and all.. or any of you who want to try Laksa and I guess, and I would have to say that this is probably the best Laksa I have eaten in Brisbane..
