Midam Korean Charcoal BBQ, Sunnybank Hills, Brisbane

Midam Korean Charcoal BBQ is located at Sunnybank Hills, just behind Pinelands Plaza. They offer a wide range of Korean dishes, either a-la-carte or bbq buffet, though I think they specialize more on their Charcoal BBQ. From the outside, the restaurant may look small but when you step in, it is rather big.

Kushi Q, Hawken Drive, St Lucia, Brisbane

Kushi Q offers traditional Japanese dishes, both eat in and takeaway is available. Located on Hawken Drive, easy access for students especially. Came here for lunch with a friend of mine and wasn't sure of where to eat but wanted to go somewhere around St Lucia. Students do get 10% off by the way, so make sure you do show your ID. It was really empty when we came in, there was only probably only one table filled and that's it.

Made's Warung, Seminyak, Bali, Indonesia

Made's Warung aka. Warung Made is located in Seminyak and has been established since 1969, being one of the many favourite restaurants for locals, expats and tourists offering traditional Indonesian cuisine. Many people would recommend this restaurant and for those who like history, then this restaurant definitely has its own history. A western man who fell in love with the restaurant's owner's daughter. They do have their history in the restaurant in pictures in which you can see for yourself. A spacious restaurant with natural light and fresh air also shining upon the outdoor area, there is also a stage for events such as live performances. When we arrived, it was quite empty inside but since they had an outdoor and an indoor seating area, the outdoor area had a few diners though not as much as I thought there would be.

Nanny's Pavillion, Beachwalk, Kuta, Bali

Nanny's Pavillion is one of the few cafes in Beachwalk, Kuta in Bali. The place do give you somewhat a homey feeling and I have just realised that they do have quite a number of outlets around in Indonesia, each of them named under various rooms that you would typically have in a pavillion, such as Bedroom, Kitchen, Library, Sewing Room, Terrace, Barn, Playground, Laundry room and so on. This one here, in Beachwalk was there 'Barrel Storage', which is presented by their wooden interiors as well, as their counters being surrounded by barrels (see the photos below). Its concept is based on a French American pancake restaurant.

Bebek Tepi Sawah, Jalan Raya Goa Gajah, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia

'Bebek Tepi Sawah' literally means 'Duck next to the rice fields'. It is definitely a must try restaurant if you are in Bali and wanting duck dishes. I would recommend coming to the Ubud branch instead of the other branch, just simply because of its location and being able to eat and enjoy the paddy fields backdrop. Although many of their dishes are quite delicious, when coming to a restaurant, I would rather choose and eat what the restaurant specializes in, instead of having other restaurants which other restaurants may have. So, here comes the quacks...

ilias the Greek review

Ilias the Greek contacted me recently and sent me with a sample of their products to try. I tend to feel that Greek sweets may be a bit too sweet for my liking but anyway, what was included in the samples were a bar of nougat, two slices of Baklava and a portion of Halva. For those not familiar with these Greek sweets, don't worry, I'll provide a brief explanation of each down below.
