Mie Keriting P. Siantar, Pluit, Jakarta

The word Mie Keriting simply means Curly Noodles when literally translated into English. Here at Mie Keriting P. Siantar, a classic and old noodle shop offersa humble menu of various dishes with its main being their Classic Curly Noodles. Although it is quite far from the CBD, I would recommend it to anyone who would like to try an old classic Chinese Indonesian dish. I should say that the recipe has been brought down from generations as it has been opened since 1954.

Madam Paf, Tunjunga Plaza Mall, Surabaya, Indonesia

Madam Paf is located at Tunjungan Plaza 1 near the cinemas area and as I walked past it, it made me realise that I haven't had cream puffs for a while now. So, I decided to have a go at these.. It was rather quite empty but when we were looking at the different puffs on offer, some people started coming in and buying either one or two and even a box full.

Hofbräuhaus, Market Lane, Melbourne CBD

When in Melbourne, sometimes you just have confusion when eating out because of the so many choices available. We were wanting European food that night and I just really wanted German or Bavarian food and so off we go trying to look for a restaurant in the CBD near our hotel. Since we knew we might be having a very meaty dinner, we decided not to be too full for lunch but to leave our tummies grumbling by the time we arrived for dinner. It was the best choice we made because that night, as we entered Hofbrahaus with grumbling tummies and left with what felt like a giant in our tummies and too full to walk back to the hotel..

Koko Black, Royal Arcade, Bourke St, Melbourne CBD

'Chocolate Alchemy Cake'

Koko Black in Royal Arcade, Melbourne may just be one of the sweetest chocolate cafes I would have been in. The arcade itself is filled with many boutiques and cafes. This post may be abit outdated since it was last year when I came but I didn't have the time and yes, again, I lost a few of the pics somewhere and all I could find was these ones so I might as well write a bit about it and will write more when I visit again. I'm pretty sure some of the cakes has changed now since then but some are still the same.

PappaRich, Wintergarden, Brisbane CBD

Papparich has finally stepped into Brisbane and finally we'll get a taste of Malaysian cuisine in our own Wintergarden Shopping Centre, CBD. Established in 2005 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, ten years ahead from when they started, they have established a total of 70 outlets worldwide and still growing.

Soup Restaurant, Plaza Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia

Soup Restaurant in Plaza Indonesia is one of the must go restaurants I guess when you're here. It may not be one of the best known Chinese restaurant as there are many competitions around but I feel that they have character and good service which is always a tick when you enter to dine. Having the influence of Chinatown in the 1930s, the Samsui Lady would look forward to her daily ritual of a simple meal with her sisters from her hometown which made it a treasured moment to remember. Her legacy passes on leading Soup Restaurant to have the Samsui heritage, bringing their heirloom recipes of authentic Chinese Heritage Cuisine which takes you back in time..

Ribs and Rumps, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane

Ribs and Rumps in Fortitude Valley is a place I hardly go to for ribs and I'm unsure why. My usual ribs is always down at the Gold Coast and sometimes I would try ribs in restaurants but none has topped my favourite yet. Coming here for a friend's birthday dinner, it was very packed that night with people bustling on both floors. Located near Emporium, it was convenient if you wanted to go for dessert or coffee afterwards too.

Mr Bap, Pinelands Plaza, Sunnybank Hills, Brisbane

Mr Bap is located in Pinelands Plaza where Nandos, Shalom, Toppoki 88 and Coles etc are at. I didn't realise there was a Korean BBQ restaurant in the complex but I always go past the shopping complex everytime I go to one of my favourite sushi spots. A friend of ours had suggested to come here and so here we are.. It was quite empty when we entered for lunch, with only maybe a few tables were filled while we were there.

Michel's Patisserie's Surprise Cake Review

Michel's Patisserie has just launched a new fun way to create your own cake with your own designs. There are only a few steps to follow, choose a pick up place and date and when the day comes, just simply pick it up from your preferred Michel's Patisserie store. When Michel's Patisserie offered the chance to review the cake, I was quite excited as it sounds fun to do and I have tried a few of their cakes before in which I enjoyed eating.

Nikuya, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane

Before this wonderful restaurant opened, it was quite hard having a local Japanese restaurant to keep going to whenever there were events or just a dinner with friends. Since my visit to Nikuya, I have enjoyed the experience and the service that they have shown. Of course, the food and ambience of the restaurant is key and I do have to say that so far, they have always nailed the food. The ambience isn't your typical traditional Japanese restaurant, no Tatami room and so on, but it is more of a modern, simplistic and yet it has its history within it here and there. And, have I mentioned that they do offer free parking? Score!

Donut King's Halloween Donuts Review

Donut King this year is offering every donut lovers to these frightfully spooky treats with a variety of different Halloween themed designed donuts to tickle your tastebuds.. Some stores do have a few that are the same but some may not be in all stores. Luckily I contacted Deagon's Donut King as they do have their stand-alone DK store where I would usually go to one of the malls nearby for DK but since I called before I ordered or walked in, I found that many of the stores would have many of their Halloween themed donuts sold out by the afternoon and Deagon's DK was nice enough to allow me to book a pack of 6 which I could choose what I wanted in it from their available designs in to be picked up the following day. Score!

Wara Wara Izakaya, Elizabeth St, Brisbane CBD

Wara Wara was one of my favourites back then, but it seems their quality and standards has decreased over the months and years now. Here for lunch, we came in with grumbling tummies, we entered into Wara Wara since it was the closest.. We ordered our dishes but were quite dissapointed with both in the end..

The Burrito Bar, Carseldine Central, Carseldine, Brisbane

Just recently, The Burrito Bar has just opened its doors at Carseldine Central in Brisbane's northside. So for you Burrito lovers, there's no need to have to go down to Portside or the CBD just to grab your favourites as you can get it somewhere nearer now. I've tried Burrito Bar only a handful of times, and have had both good and just okay experience in regards to both customer service and food. As we arrived on a weeknight, I think it was a Friday night, there were live music and nearly all the tables were filled..

Kinn Thai, Westfield Garden City, Brisbane

Kinn Thai is one of the many restaurants in Westfield Garden City's forecourt. Kinn Thai may just be the only Thai restaurant in the mall and with stunning views of the outdoor garden and fresh air, you sure are missing out if you don't give this a try whether it may be for lunch or dinner..

Moo Moo The Wine Bar & Grill, Port Office Building, Brisbane CBD

Moo Moo The Wine Bar and Grill in the historical Port Office Building brings one of the best steak restaurants in the CBD. They also have a restaurant in the Gold Coast but usually, you sometimes may end up going somewhere else when you're down there. Have a drink at the bar while you're waiting for your table, the venue itself boasts a modern interior with a stunning spiky Italian pendants in Moobar, a private area is available for functions or events, their custom designed furniture throughout the venue will make you feel relaxed but yet also in an elegant ambience. Just remember that this is also a part of Stamford Plaza Hotel so it is somehow connected. This review may be a few months outdated, ma apologiiesss...

Gyoza Bar Ann, Emporium, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane

Gyoza Bar Ann is a humble Japanese eatery found at Emporium in Fortitude Valley. Although I did think they only sold dumplings and maybe a few this and that, their menu also have a lunch menu which offers a wide variety of obentos. They also have a few Tapas and grilled dishes but do try their Lunch menu if you have time. When we came, it was already past their lunch hours so we decided to just try their normal dishes. It was quite empty with only 2 tables filled when we were there.

Le Jandin, Palazzo Versace, Main Beach, Gold Coast

Coming to Palazzo Versace always brightens you up, either by the ambience or just by having high tea or even having tea or coffee. We decided to enjoy a cuppa or two and nibble at Le Jandin, which is the cafe you would see right in front of you as soon as you enter Palazzo.

Well, the mastermind of the food truck has finally decided to open their own American serving burgers with weekly specials to the neighbourhood..

The Three Monkeys, West End, Brisbane

Although coming here would be your coffee and cake usual spot, Three Monkeys also offer some hot food.. May it be a sandwich or focaccias or salad or even just a bowl of chips, it may not be a whole hearty food but something to nibble on sometimes is just better than sweet cakes. It is usually quite full on Fri or Sat night, but when you come on a weeknight or even Sunday night, it usually isn't too bad..

Scuzi Caffe, Westfield Chermside, Brisbane

Scuzi is a cafe situated inside the newer area of Westfield Chermside. This place has been changed numerous times but Scuzi seems to have maybe lasted the longest so far. It offers your traditional brekky, your typical tavern and also bistro-like lunch dishes and they also offer coffee and desserts too if you just want to have a nibble or a drink somewhere nice with a breeze. Since they have both outdoor and indoor seatings, I quite liked the food I've ordered and the environment too.

Chur Burger's New Menu Tasting, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane

It has been a while since I went to Chur Burger in the Valley and whilst I walked past the new Chur Burger Express in the Eagle St Pier food court. When I was recently invited to the new menu tasting, luckily it was a good time too as I was still on my uni winter holidays, I did not second think but confirmed my attendance. I remembered my first time trying Chur and I fell in love with their burgers. 'Nuff said.

Now, before you drool anymore after seeing the photo above, be prepared for more drooling photos of more mouthwatering burgers as you read on..

The Eatery on Jonson, Byron Bay, Australia

Waking up early in the morning just to drive down from Brissy to Byron Bay kind of makes you go all woozy if you haven't had your cup of coffee let's say, or haven't had that pancake for breakfast. There was a slight delay in going up the summit though, why? The gate was closed!! So, there was traffic around the end of the road, right before the gates area to go in. We could see people getting dropped off and doing a U-turn because the parking was full up there already. I do have to say they really need extra parking because it's hideous. Only a few cars can fit and how many people come down every morning? Of course there were joggers and runners around too that would jog up or walk up the hill to get to the summit area.

Wara Wara Izakaya, Elizabeth St, Brisbane CBD

Another revisit to Wara Wara on a fine but chilly day, coming in at mid afternoon means that restaurants would not be full but quiet. We entered Wara Wara and its design and interior is still the same regardless of the fact that their nearest competitor has just expanded their restaurant in which both were Korean restaurants but Wara Wara has more of a fusion of Japanese within some of its dishes. We sat in one of the booths and looked through the menu. One downside I have to add about Wara Wara is that they don't have any Korean BBQ, although we initially wanted Korean BBQ but as soon as we realised there weren't any, we thought we might just order what's available instead of changing restaurants.

Boom Boom Burger, Chevron Island, Gold Coast

The American trend is really hitting in Brisbane and also Gold Coast it seems. Boom Boom Burger is located on Surfer Paradise's Chevron Island. A dozen of burger choices which also includes your salads and sides, oh and good drinks too, burgers and beer is always a match made in heaven. If you're not a burger person, then do try their Hot Dogs. Their curated collection of craft beers, wine and cocktails allows you to drink and enjoy both the food and drinks, all in one place.

I received an Invitation to try the new joint out however, since I was busy with uni, I came in at the end of June. Hearing that it has a diner style but also a French Twist makes me the more excited to try. Oh, and have I mentioned that it also has a touch of gastronomy?

American Doughnut Kitchen, Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne CBD

Now, for your Melbourners, you don't have to worry about this and you guys would probably already know what I'm going to write about. But for those who has never been to Melbourne or Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne, then you are missing out big time mates.. Of course, Queen Victoria Markets is filled with goodness, from fresh fruit and veges to fresh baked pastries or deli cheeses and cured meats, even handmade goods or your fresh fishes, you can find it all here, all under one roof. It doesn't open everyday but when it does, it will be good if you could come before lunchtime because it does get packed quite easily. It's always nice walking through the markets on a chilly day in Melbourne. Now, this little ball of goodness above is a Queen Victoria Market visit must-have, oh this is a definite fix you must entice yourself upon whenever you go to Queen Vic, don't ask why, just do it and after you have taken a bite, I'm pretty sure you will fall in love with it as much as I did.

The Hardware Societe, Hardware St, Melbourne CBD

Of course, for those who knows Melbourne and its home to all of the interesting food and European style laneways, you will not be surprised by the amount of Best Breakfast in town that was listed. Of course, don't forget the Melbourne coffees.. I definitely know that Brisbane has topped up their game in the food industry and have presented us with various openings of new creative and unique food culture. Brisbane or Sydney or Melbourne, they all have their food culture, in their own uniqueness and dashing way.

Apollo Bay Hotel. Great Ocean Rd, Apollo Bay, Victoria

As we were in Melbourne for a few days, we thought we would visit the Great Ocean Road where the 12 Apostles lie. Along the way, we stopped by at Apollo Bay Hotel for a quick lunch before heading off to see the 12 Apostles. Apollo Bay Hotel is a humble hotel located in Apollo Bay, situated with a magnificent views of the ocean and mountains, a popular tourist hotel when wanting to stay over while taking a trip down to the 12 Apostles.

Spicy Fish, Little Bourke St, Melbourne CBD, Melbourne

It was about 9.30 pm in chilly Melbourne when we decided to have dinner. As I had a few places I had wanted to go for dinner, we made our way to the restaurant. We wanted a nice warm chinese meal at the time so we didn't particularly noticed the Italian or Korean etc etc restaurants as we passed by it. Unfortunately, the restaurant I had wanted to go to was closed and so, having to walk back again, I decided to try the next one on my list, and again, it seemed to have closed earlier than what I thought it would normally be. I wasn't being judgemental or anything, but since it is in the CBD, plus near Chinatown, and may I have to remind you that it is a Chinese restaurant may it be a Dumplings restaurant or just a noodle soup but no, I did not expect it to close at around this time.

And so, our journey ended us with grumbling tummies, trying to look for a Chinese restaurant in the heart of Little Bourke St area and some were quite filled but the menu didn't interest us. We came across 'Spicy Fish' a restaurant located on the GF of Target Centre, a restaurant that didn't look as much as appealing but what the heck, we gave it a shot.. So that's how we ended up here, in 'Spicy Fish', whilst being tired of walking around at night trying to find a casual delicious Chinese restaurant.

The Quarter, Degraves St, Melbourne CBD, Melbourne

If you ever stumble upon Degraves St in Melbourne CBD, I would recommend you to walk through it, find a suitable or eye-catching place and dine there whether it may be for breakfast, lunch, dessert or even just coffee and cake. Degraves St is a must visit definitely, with its European style laneways, a variety of coffee shops and as you walk through it, the smell of the aroma from coffee beans is just what make Melbourne, Melbourne. Alfresco setting, warm interiors, it just simply reminded me of those little European cafes even their lamps and seats reminded me of them.

Gami Chicken & Beer, Little Lonsdale St, Melbourne CBD

Gami Chicken and Beer has a few locations scattered in Melbourne CBD, we wanted to go somewhere close to where we were so we went to the Little Lonsdale St Branch, however we kind of got lost and went the opposite direction and since it was hard finding the numbers on the buildings, we actually ended up having to make a u-turn and walk back to the other side, Little Lonsdale St was quite a long road. So, this chicken better be good we thought, since we even wanted to go somewhere else since we couldn't be bothered walking back and far.. but in the end, we thought, who cares, just give it a go, and definitely... no regrets.

Pizza Capers' new Rustico Thin Base review

When I heard that Pizza Capers was launching their new Rustico Thin Base, it got me thinking.. Will it be those really thin bases that when you pick your pizza slice up, it will just get soggy down the bottom? Pizza Capers said it will be full of flavour, made in store using quality ingredients and a traditional recipe. Along with their generous toppings, the thin base would be complemented well. Let's have a try shall we?

Hurricane's Grill, Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast

Hurricane's Grill on Surfers Paradise do win you without having to drive too far off the Surfers precinct plus you do get your beach view if you dine in near the balcony area. However, since my bad experience of hard meat, meat not being off the bone in Sydney's Darling Harbour branch, I still preferred my favourite ribs place to go which yes, does require a further driving to do but is definitely worth it. Of course, we are here to talk about Hurricane's and not that... Located in a perfect location, entrance may get confusing if you're not used to your way around, but signs are there to guide you. Bookings are essential but sometimes if they are quite empty, seatings are available and you won't have to wait for long. It was quite packed when we came in, it was the weekend anyway, but for lunchtime, it shouldn't be as packed as dinner time, so for those wanting to come down during dinner, do book..

Pizza e Birra, Plaza Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia

Pizza e Birra is a casual and relaxing dining eatery serving gourmet pizzas and popular classic comfort food. Having both traditional Italian and non Italian, it will allow everyone to have a try at different pizzas and suit your tastebuds.. If you wanna have a few drinks, then go ahead, their beer selection is not too bad so whether it may be your lunch break or meeting up with friends, this place is sure to be a casual but fun dining area for you guys.

Kkuldak, Grand Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia

I've walked past this shop numerous times but never really got my head turning for it, other than I realised there was always a line which I usually can't be bothered to wait for.. However, since my sister recommended it to me one day and told me to try it when I have time, so, I did. We were quite full from lunch, wanting to go for dinner but since the time was still quite early plus we were quite bored of walking and shopping around, we decided to just try it as I mentioned it to him as we walked past it..

Naughty Nuri's Warung and Grill, Kerobokan, Bali, Indonesia

One of the places you need to visit when you're in Bali if you like your Barbecued Ribs.. Although this would not be your typical ribs since it will be basted in an Indonesian spice and a very much different atmosphere than the Ribs restaurant we have here in Aussie. A more relaxed, casual but hot and humid atmosphere, filled with naughty but nice ribs. However, I have heard that there is a competitor now that may just beat them in both taste and basting wise which I yet need to try but for now, here is Naughty Nuri's Warung's ribs for you in review..

Blackboard Specialty Coffee, Varsity Lakes, Queensland

When I started seeing those oozy-plumpy-syringed cronuts, I knew I had to go down and have one, or maybe two.. Blackboard Specialty Coffee is located in the suburbs of Varsity Lakes, humbly located near the Bond University campus serving their specialty coffee with their famous cronuts, also a few food items on their menu. A simple interior, a relaxed atmosphere, a bakery is there too for any takeaways on any sweets or sandwiches, wooden tables, white tiled walls, even their waiters were laid-back.

Midam Korean Charcoal BBQ, Sunnybank Hills, Brisbane

The last time we ate here was for their Korean BBQ Buffet so when we decided to come for a-la-carte during dinner on a weekday, we didn't know what to expect. The restaurant was somewhat busy but only on one side of it which was the Korean BBQ area whilst the normal tables and seats weren't as full. The only problem I've had with Midam is that their side dishes options aren't as much as the other korean restaurants you go to. You only kind of just get the basics..

Alfred & Constance, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane

Alfred and Constance, the ongoing buzz of this place along with its sisters and brothers of Alfredo's Pizzeria, Kwan Brothers, Chester St Bakery and now, Doughnut Time, all by the same owner, Damian Griffiths. This was a few months back when I ate here, since then, a slight change on the menu so some of the food in this review may or may not be still available in the restaurant. Conveniently placed due mostly of its parking, in which you can get a $5 parking when you dine at any of the restaurants.

Indimex Cafe Bar Restaurant, Greenslopes, Brisbane

IndiMex located at the Stones Corner strip at Greenslopes whips up a Funky Indian with a Mexican Twist cuisine. Although to be honest, both of these cuisines aren't my favourite, nor are they the cuisines I would opt to visit in an instant or are the ones at the top of my list. I don't mind it, I just usually prefer the other cuisines more. When I first heard the fusion of Indian and Mexican together, I thought how is that possible? Spicy food isn't my thing either although my asian background, but thinking about the mixture of both cuisines did get me intrigued of what was offered. Imagine Chicken Tikka Caesar.. Chimichanga served with Biryani rice... Tandoori Chicken Burger.. Bombay Oyster Kilpatricks... and more.

Bavarian Bier Cafe, Eagle Street Pier, Brisbane CBD

I would have to say that Bavarian Bier does a kick in serving classic German dishes, big portions, beers ranging from 300ml - 1 litre, fabulous views, the Story Bridge lighting up at night as a backdrop, fresh air, comfortable seatings may it be at the bar or a more booth feeling or maybe a date night, whatever it is, just remember to come in with a not-so-full tummy since I assure you, by the time you leave, your tummy will be filled right to satisfaction. Located above Grill'd, opposite Pony and next to Sake, it definitely had its spot with occupying a very big space in the upper level of the precinct.

HQ Cafe, Kedron-Wavell Services Club, Chermside, Brisbane

My my.. I don't remember the last time I stepped foot in Kedron-Wavell, but I'm glad I did when the restaurants in Chermside mall was getting a bit dry and wanted to go past Chermside are for lunch but as we drove near the Kedron-Wavell, I thought, why not have a peek and maybe they may serve up good food. Though, I have to admit, I was in the moment of missing pub food.. Good ol' pub food.. and was I surprised by its renovated interior and restaurants too. Though many of you may say it is crowded with older adults, but there were many having lunch breaks from the office, short meetings, or just your casual dressed young adults as well..

Jimmy's on the Mall, Queen St Mall, Brisbane CBD

Jimmy's is a must go when you're in the CBD.. Basically, it's the only double story restaurant in the middle of the city when you walk around. Don't overestimate its food prices or underestimate its quality. Maybe that shows how much I enjoy it here making me coming back again, but this time, we brought my parents' friend from overseas here to dine...

Sandgate Fishmonger, Sandgate, Brisbane

Sandgate Fishmonger lies on Flinders Parade opposite the beach which is convenient. Though their competitor is about less than 1km walk away, they both do serve differently. However, here, they accept both cash or Eftpos which is good whilst the other, only accepts eftpos. It was rather quiet today but many came for their Gelati instead of their fish and chips.

Blackbird Bar & Grill, Eagle St Pier, Brisbane CBD

Friday nights at Blackbird are hectic, with both the restaurant and bar usually filled up in seconds especially later at night at the bar. Bookings are recommended especially for those peak hours. We decided to try the restaurant as we've been to the bar for drinks and so on but we were quite interested how the restaurant and food were. We were seated right in front of the open kitchen but there were also a more romantic and intimate seating by the window overlooking the Story Bridge in which we would've rather preferred than awkwardly in the middle of the pathway of people entering and exiting and being next to a big loud group of people on a platformed table. We did try and ask for a more intimate and quieter setting but the waiter just said they had none left (in which, they actually had a few empty tables even just for two).

Pine and Bamboo, Cannon Hill, Brisbane

Pine and Bamboo, a restaurant located East of the CBD known most for their famous Peking Duck and yes, I would have to agree that so far, that this is one of the best I have eaten in Brisbane. They don't only serve Peking Duck of course, they also serve other Chinese dishes like other Chinese restaurants would. Their space is quite big so whether it may be a family gathering or a birthday party, it can cater for any.

Maru Korean BBQ Restaurant, Elizabeth St, Brisbane CBD, Brisbane

Maru in Elizabeth St has just recently became the largest Korean restaurant in Brisbane, having now not only the upper floor but also ground floor. Having went there before renovations began, we wanted a simple light lunch that wasn't too heavy for the both of us and I thought it's been awhile since I visited Maru..

Habitat Restaurant & Bar, West End, Brisbane

Habitat Restaurant and Bar was one restaurant I've wanted to try for quite some time now but didn't have the chance, well, we finally did. The third venture of rugby legend Scott Higginbotham and his business partner, Malcolm Watts after Moose and Gibson in Woolloongabba and Leaf Espresso Bar in Tarraggindi. A much classier venue and relaxing than the other two I may say, maybe my most liked in regards to its design, what you may call it as to be sophisticated.

Chocolateria San Churro, South Brisbane, Brisbane

Chocolateria San Churro is the perfect place to go if you love chocolate, rich cakes, bite sized chocolates and yes, churros. Although their coffee may not be the greatest, it does seem to be inconsistent during every of my revisits. It was quite empty when we came in but it soon became quite busy as people started to walk by and stop, trying to find seats would seem more of a wait than usual. I think South Bank really need to open up more desserts and coffee places for people to dine at and have more choices in going where despite the wait and all, but at least, choices are always good.

Rogue Bar and Bistro, Newstead, Brisbane

An unusual spot to open up a restaurant in Newstead, but I guess, those unusual spots might be the thing that a restaurant needs to be able to bring in the diners. Rogue Bar and Bistro offers a wide range of dishes and is open for all three meals in a day. With its high top house exterior, minimal design, open kitchen, casual sofa dining, a bar area, a restaurant seating area, a mixture of what I may say caters for everyone.
