HOT – Ole Restaurant, Shop B12 Little Stanley St, Southbank

By CazM ⋅ September 27, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Only a couple of weeks since opening, Ole Spanish tapas restaurant at Southbank seems to have already made quite a name for itself. With great tasty food, smiley friendly service and a beautiful outlook, it’s no surprise that tongues around town are madly wagging already. Ole’s opening week couldn’t be timelier – smack bang in the [...]

HOT – Max Brenner – Shop 1.1 and 1.2, Stanley St Plaza, Southbank

By CazM ⋅ September 23, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Ok, so Max Brenner and his wicked stores don’t need much by the way of introduction, so I’m just gonna tell it how it is. There’s always a queue, if not 10 or so deep it’s well out the door, particularly in the evenings. There’s a general lack of order and grace in the whole [...]

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 – Friday Lunch Special, International Hotel – 525 Boundary St, Spring Hill

By CazM ⋅ September 9, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s reminiscent of a scene out of the Flintstones – the rib cage of a small pre-historic brontosaurus-type animal, smothered in BBQ sauce, being devoured by the Fred’s, Barney’s, Wilma’s and Betty’s of the world. All washed down with an ice cold beer (as they did in those good old cartoons). But no, it’s not the [...]

HOT – Little Malaysia – 156 Boundary St, West End

By CazM ⋅ September 6, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

After a rather unimpressive yet stressful day and not much inclination for slaving over a stove, I picked up MM and we headed to the Boundary St strip in West End, one of our favourite areas to roam in Brisbane. I’d spotted Little Malaysia nestled in between some of your more well known franchised dining [...]

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) [...]

HOT – Alberto’s Shot – 462 Montague Rd, West End.

By CazM ⋅ August 25, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Another very popular caffeine stop for river-looping cyclists is Alberto’s Shot, down towards the Orleigh Park end of Montague Road in West End. Taking up some nice corner block real estate in the sun, this busy little espresso bar and cafe has just given its breakfast menu a facelift, so MM and I thought it [...]

HOT – Brown Dog Cafe – 54 Logan Rd, Woolloongabba.

By CazM ⋅ August 22, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Perched quite inconspicuously on its corner block, Brown Dog Cafe is a popular coffee stop for dog walkers, cyclists and wanderers by alike. Don’t let the rather bland facade and lycra-clad cyclists deter you from dropping in, the superb coffees and friendly service definitely make up for that! With a reasonable crowd always gathered on [...]

HOT – Surrealism Up Late – Gallery of Modern Art, South Brisbane.

By CazM ⋅ August 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Squishy eye balls, phallic imagery, animalistic tendencies….just a few of the key words and imagery that come to mind when I recall my evening at the Surrealism: The Poetry of Dreams exhibition, currently on show at the Gallery of Modern Art. Thanks to Brisbane Marketing, I was given the opportunity to explore and grow the [...]

HOT – Home Store & Cafe – 20 Stewart Rd, Ashgrove.

By CazM ⋅ August 4, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

With only a vague idea of where we were heading, and a small battle with the street directory, MM and I had worked ourselves into a state of reluctance and mild anxiety as we made the trip to Home Store & Cafe in Ashgrove – a side of town we’re not too familiar with. Good [...]
