HOT – Ipoh Laksa Malaysian Kitchen – 738 Main St, Kangaroo Point

By CazM ⋅ September 19, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Continuing on my quest to devour as much Malaysian cuisine as humanly possible (thanks to Malaysia Kitchen Australia), Ipoh Laksa in Kangaroo Point was the most recent venue to have the pleasure of watching me and some friends scoff, groan and visibly expand our waistlines over what was a Malaysian feast of epic proportions, great [...]

HOT – Beautiful Noise (Brisbane Festival 2011) – Brisbane Powerhouse, New Farm

By CazM ⋅ September 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

If you haven’t noticed, Brisbane’s putting on a bit of show at the moment! Kicked off with RiverFire last weekend and now in full swing with nightly laser shows, cultural events, music, dancing, drinking….the list goes on. One of the many performances on the agenda for Brisbane Festival 2011 is Beautiful Noise, playing at the purpose built [...]

HOT – Jude – 9/1 Eagle St, Brisbane CBD.

By CazM ⋅ August 31, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Nestled tightly in amongst the new look Eagle St Pier precinct, this twee little cafe provides a fast, creative alternative for lunch goers in the city. Jude presents a strange combination of fast food and fine dining with its blend of super quick, pre-made meals amongst the surrounds of a beautifully decorated and relaxed (mostly) [...]

NOT – Campo Dei Fiori – 278 Junction Rd, Clayfield.

By CazM ⋅ August 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Campo Dei Fiori had come highly recommended to me, not only for their filling, home style Italian cuisine, but also their great selection of Italian wines. Unfortunately this little house of flowers didn’t stack up to its reputation on this occasion, their food and service being very bland and underwhelming. MM and I were on [...]

Hot: Montra Thai Day Spa – 117 Annerley Rd, Dutton Park

By Brek ⋅ July 19, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

What better way to celebrate the start of my four day working week than wth a traditional Thai oil massage? I am a sucker for small business and have ridden or driven past Montra Thai Day Spa, a stand alone shopfront, almost everyday since it opened not too long ago…certainly within the last year. The road may [...]

HOT – Bistrot Bistro – 14 Logan Rd, Woolloongabba

By CazM ⋅ July 6, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Watch out Montrachet, you have a new contender in the modern French cuisine competition with south side contender Bistrot Bistro. Regulars to the Logan Rd precinct across from the Gabba (with the occasional tipple at nearby Canvas), Bistrot Bistro was a chance encounter for MM and I recently, even though we’d had our eyes on [...]

HOT – Biagio Restaurant – 191 Musgrave Rd, Red Hill.

By CazM ⋅ June 30, 2011 ⋅ 3 comments

Congratulations Red Hill, you’re now home to my favourite Italian restaurant! I have no idea how Biagio has remained off my radar for this long, but thanks to a friend who literally stumbled across this little gem, I now know where to go for awesome Italian cuisine. Biagio is essentially a fine dining Italian restaurant, [...]

NOT – The Villager Hotel (Gastrobar) – 185 George St Brisbane CBD.

By CazM ⋅ June 24, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

Underwhelming is probably the best term I can use to describe my verdict on lunch from the gastrobar menu at The Villager Hotel. Once again my expectations probably got the better of me, but gastrobar and supper club are the kinds of words you associate with awesomeness and big expectations when it comes to food. [...]

HOT – Brisbane Alpine Winter Festival – King George Square, Brisbane CBD.

By CazM ⋅ June 15, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The words ‘Brisbane’ and ‘alpine winter wonderland’ don’t exactly go together like franks and beans, but this winter every attempt to bring these things together like birds of a feather has been made, as the Alpine Winter Festival comes to balmy Brisbane for the month of June. King George Square has been converted into a [...]

HOT – My Thai Kitchen – Shop 18, 36 Baroona Rd, Milton

By CazM ⋅ June 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The offspring born of Brisbane’s infamous My Thai (in Auchenflower), My Thai Kitchen is a welcome addition to the Milton and Rosalie areas with their super quick and easy lunch time specials, their agonisingly awesome and extensive dinner menu (for dine in or takeaway) and to top it off….a cooking school! My work buddies and [...]
