Little Larder, New Farm, Brisbane

breakfast July 22, 2014

Smoked Salmon & Spinach on pesto scrambled eggs

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..

Lindt Chocolate Gourmet Cookies by Brumby's Bakery review.

Australia July 18, 2014

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..

Newsroom Cafe, High St, Toowong, Brisbane

breakfast July 16, 2014

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..

New Shanghai, Queens Plaza, Brisbane CBD

Asian July 15, 2014

New Shanghai Xiao Long Bao

A short re-visit to New Shanghai in Queens Plaza which ended up having them giving us the wrong recommendations. I remember my last two visits here was good and bad, so another visit which was quite dissapointing. When we came, it was about late arvo and the seats and tables weren't quite as packed as when it is lunch time, but it was a moderate amount of diners at the time.

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.

Guylian Belgian Chocolate Cafe, George St, The Rocks, Sydney

Chocolate July 13, 2014

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..

Goong Charcoal BBQ Korean restaurant, Sunnybank Hills, Brisbane

Alcohol July 11, 2014

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.

Pizza Capers, a Brisbane pizza chain specializing in gourmet pizzas and also offers a range of pasta and salads. A new limited edition range called 'Inferno Challenge' which involves a range of 2 pizza choices having that kick of spicyness more than your usual pizzas. The aim of this is basically to test your ability to handle the hotness.. Oh, and plus.. did I say that free mini Tabasco sauces was involved?

Lindt Chocolate Cafe, Cockle Bay Wharf, Darling Harbour, Sydney

Chocolate July 08, 2014

Lindt Chocolat Cafe located at Darling Harbour was where we went for dessert after a yummy dinner nearby.. Last time I visited the Lindt Chocolat Cafe was the one at George St from what I can recall.. I've always liked Lindt desserts oh and especially their cakes.. Quite a chilly night so a hot cuppa would've been a good warmer..

Coffee July 06, 2014

If you see a big round displays filled with yummy tarts, cakes, gelato and other sweet treats, then you may find yourself in True Italian desserts and coffee haven.. Located in the food court area in Westfield Sydney, it will definitely be hard to miss.. Not sure of where to go after meeting up with some friends, we ended up here..

Fish Market Cafe & Christie's Seafood Excellence, Sydney Fish Market, Pyrmont, Sydney

Christie's Seafood Excellence July 04, 2014

Sydney Fish Market is one of those destinations you must definitely go to when visiting Sydney or even in Sydney. The freshest seafood you can find, from oysters to sashimi, from fried or grilled seafood, anything you can think of about seafood, you can get it here. We ate at 2 places 'Fish Market Cafe' and 'Christie's Seafood Excellence' which was just by the main entrance. There are many different stalls offering different types of seafood but some are just simple competitors offering similar seafood, which most are from the very best local markets.

Hurricane's Grill, Darling Harbour, Sydney

Alcohol July 01, 2014

Hurricane's Grill is widely known for its pork ribs, located on level 2 of Harbourside Shopping Centre in Darling Harbour. Open for 7 days a week, bookings are essential since it does get packed quite easily especially for dinner. Came on a weekend night and it was packed as.. Had to wait for a while for a seat for two but when we finally got our seats, we were seated outside on the back. Been a while since we've had Hurricane's famous ribs, and Mike's Kitchen has always been our favourite ribs place so since everyone keeps roaring about this place, decided to come here again, giving me a chance to compare it too.
