NOT: Little Singapore – 42 Charlotte St, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ September 1, 2010 ⋅ One comment

MM and his cronies seem to know all the go-to spots around the city where you can find quick, cheap and tasty lunch time meals and they constantly badger me to try them out for the purposes of the HOT or NOT readership, as well as to satisfy my own love affair with food. Little [...]

HOT: FAB fish and burger grill – The Barracks, Petrie Tce, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ August 17, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I’m a huge fan of tight-arse Tuesdays – 2 for 1 anything will get me every time and MM and I embrace it in a big way. We went tight-arse crazy recently up at The Barracks – cashing in on a 2 for 1 movie ticket, 2 for 1 drinks and to my delight, we [...]

NOT: Four Lions

By Yalin ⋅ August 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Let me preface this review by saying that I do not lack a sense of humour but I don’t believe one can boil down the intricacies of home-grown terrorism into a comedy. The truth is that Morris’ presentation of his characters in Four Lions does not constitute a dark comedy; it is just a bad [...]

HOT: Mints Vietnamese & Asian Cuisine, 4/21 Nash St, Rosalie

By CazM ⋅ August 10, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

I was tempted to keep this short and sweet with just a HOT….and leave it at that. No wordiness or imagery, just pictures; after all I don’t know if my words can do this place justice. In the spirit of blogging however, I’ve used both wordiness and pictures to best portray how good this place [...]

NOT: Café Conti – 1/102 Kedron Brook Rd, Wilston.

By CazM ⋅ August 5, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Princess and I recently embarked on a Saturday morning, post-run indulgence of a facial and massage treatment up on the North Side. After an hour of pain (running, naturally) and then an hour and a half of pleasure (yep, facial), we figured the only thing that could top this off would be a feast of [...]

HOT: Flamingo Cafe, 5B Winn Street, Fortitude Valley

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ July 30, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Today we have a guest post from Jetsetting Mum, making a trip to the Valley to try Flamingo Cafe. Tucked in an alley on the short Winn Street is the shop-front and the alfresco section of Flamingo Cafe. As the name implies, the place is bold and colourful, full of character. There is no free [...]

HOT: The Runaways

By Kylie ⋅ July 23, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Floria Sigismondi is the director of some of the most impressive music videos of the past fifteen years. Her dark, seductive work has accompanied music by the likes of Marilyn Manson, David Bowie, Interpol, the White Stripes and even Christina Aguilera; strangely, even if you don’t like the song you can be drawn in by [...]

HOT: Denim Co. – Little Stanley St, Southbank.

By CazM ⋅ July 16, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After a string of delicious and HOT breakfast-related reviews lately, I’ve reached a point where our binary rating system of HOT or NOT is causing me some grief. It’s easy to issue a HOT when the food is fantastic and you can’t really fault a place at all. Similarly, it’s easy to issue a NOT [...]

HOT: Atomica Eat Drink, 173 Boundary St, West End.

By CazM ⋅ July 12, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

There’s a range of venues to choose from in the West End precinct for a late Saturday breakfast and Atomica has always been one to serve consistently sound and reasonably priced food. My most recent visit was no exception. MM and I have a pretty standard routine of getting to the markets nice and early [...]

HOT: Castelli’s, 2/11 Nash St, Rosalie

By CazM ⋅ June 28, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

With a myriad of cafes and restaurants to choose from in the busy Rosalie area, I was really pleased with my random selection of Castelli’s when on a lunch date with an old friend recently. Castelli’s has been tucked in next to Cold Rock at Rosalie for as long as I can remember. Although I’ve [...]
