HOT: Cibo Espresso, 4/85 Merthyr Road, New Farm

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ June 7, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Another HOT review today from the Jetsetting Parents, as they sample more of the great treats that the ever growing community of New Farm has to offer. Coffee Culture is well and truly alive in New Farm and its neighbouring suburbs, if the abundance of coffee shops is of any indication. Amidst this strong competition, [...]

HOT: Vue Lounge, 83 Methyr Road, New Farm

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ May 25, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Today we have another review from Jetsetting Mum, who is our eyes and ears on the streets of New Farm! Her latest post gives us the low down on the very popular Vue Lounge. Jetsetting Dad and I have been going to Vue Lounge for years, occasionally when we were still living on the other [...]

HOT: Vespa Pizza, 148 Merthyr Rd, New Farm

By CazM ⋅ April 30, 2010 ⋅ 5 comments

The hunt for the perfect, tell-your-mates-about-it wood fired pizza continues….only this time I had 7 friends in tow, so I could sample various offerings on the menu over a few glasses of red, yum! Vespa Pizza is one of those pokey little places I’ve always wanted to go to, but never have for some stupid [...]

HOT: Agra Indian Cuisine, 79 James St, New Farm

By CazM ⋅ April 7, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Once a month, a group of misfits I’ve known for a couple of years now descend upon a chosen local Indian restaurant for a night of beer and banter over a few hot curries and typical Indian accompaniments. Our common appreciation for Indian cuisine brings us together for a feast of medieval proportions! The most [...]

HOT: Rangla Punjab Indian Restaurant, 938 Brunswick Street, New Farm

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ April 2, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Today we have another guest post from Jetsetting Mum as she makes her way through the Indian restaurants in her neighbourhood… On my latest count, in the suburbs of Fortitude Valley and New Farm, there are five Indian eateries along Brunswick Street alone (the 3 to 4 km strip from Ann Street to the New [...]

HOT: Northern Style Thai Massage Spa, Shop 6, 27 Lamington St, New Farm

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ March 17, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Today, another guest post from Jetsetting Mum, a fan of Thai massage. I am partial to Thai massage and it’s always on my “must-do” list every time I visit Thailand or transit through. Therefore, I could hardly contain my excitement when Northern Style Thai Massage Spa opened its doors a short while ago. That means [...]

HOT: The Ballad of Backbone Joe, World Theatre Festival, Brisbane Powerhouse, 119 Lamington St, New Farm

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ February 12, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Ballad of Backbone Joe doesn’t make any deep statements of social commentary or explore thought-provoking issues – but it is inventive and fun. The Suitcase Royale are a trio of rag ‘n’ bone musicians whose style I would term ‘Louisiana swampy blues’ and their theatrical performances combine their song-writing skills with comedy, slapstick, shadow [...]

HOT: Coco Bella Espresso, Cnr Lamington and Welsby Streets, New Farm

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ February 10, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Today’s guest post comes from the Jetsetting Parents, this time sampling the new casual cafe/restaurant Coco Bella Espresso in New Farm. This eatery site in New Farm has seen quite a few changes of ownership over the last several years, from the “founder” East-West to New Farm Bistro, Bacchus, then The Hutch to the newly-opened [...]

NOT: Miss India New Farm, 620 Brunswick St, New Farm

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ January 18, 2010 ⋅ 7 comments

In colour theory, red is the colour that’s supposed to stimulate the appetite. So it makes sense that Miss India has chosen to deck out its chain of ‘instant Indian takeaway’ stores in bright swathes of red and yellow – and if that’s not enough, the long bain marie counter of vibrant curry hues will [...]

NOT: Grasshopper Asian Kitchen, Shop 6, 36 Vernon Terrace, Teneriffe

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ January 6, 2010 ⋅ 6 comments

Today we have a guest blog from Jetsetting Mum, a lady who knows her Asian food (being Chinese and the cooking force in her family). Having received a tip-off from Jetsetting Joyce that Grasshopper was offering 25% off takeaway for a limited time, I couldn’t wait to download their menu and make a choice of [...]
