HOT: Sardine Tin – Shop 3A Arbour on Grey, Little Stanley St, Southbank.

By CazM ⋅ October 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Mixed opinions have been thrown my way about Southbank’s resident tapas venue Sardine Tin, mostly to do with the limited menu and price tag. But I don’t take heed to these sorts of comments too often, because most people who feel this way just don’t get what tapas is all about. On one of the [...]

HOT: Super Bowl Chinese Restaurant – 185 Wickham St, Fortitude Valley

By CazM ⋅ October 12, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Amongst the neon lights of the Wickham St strip, you could pretty much blink and miss this China Town venue and to be honest it’s not too remarkable in appearances from outside or in. What Super Bowl lacks in glamour, frills and decor however it makes up for in its sizeable menu and notable vibrancy [...]

HOT: Hotel Orient – 560 Queen St, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ September 30, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Tuesday night is often date night for MM and I and we like to show each other a good time, so most weeks we try to outdo each other in the tight-arse stakes. It’s game-on from the get go, and he or she who finds the best tight-arse Tuesday deal in town gets bragging rights [...]

HOT: Belesis Cafe – 198 Old Cleveland Rd, Coorparoo

By CazM ⋅ September 13, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

For a small and understated suburban venue with minimalistic signage, Belesis has a thriving trade and from what I can tell, this isn’t limited to the brunch-time goers on the weekends. On the odd occasion that I’ve wandered past at lunch during the week (when I’m ‘working’ from home…) or driving past in the evenings, [...]

NOT: Little Singapore – 42 Charlotte St, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ September 1, 2010 ⋅ 4 comments

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 ⋅ 2 comments

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 [...]
