Sunny Seoul BBQ, Sunnybank, Brisbane

Sunny Seoul is always a great place to go for Korean BBQ, though they seem to be in a more humble and casual setting, don't underestimate their quality as well as portion of food. With more Korean restaurants around, it can be said that the newer restaurants are getting more crowded than the older ones. Nearest to Sunny Seoul, there are about 3 to 4 other restaurants nearby which makes it abit of a challenge when wanting to go for BBQ and deciding where to go. With Sunny Seoul, the best part about it would be the friendly customer service as well as their variety of side dishes..

One of the best places to get KBBQ along with 6 different variety of side dishes that are both delicious and refillable. Ranging from kimchi, marinated cucumber and sesame seed, mash sweet potato, cold creamy glass noodles and so on.. It seems that other Korean restaurants don't seem to be giving their diners this much side dishes, well, don't compare it to buffets of course but instead your usual KBBQ restaurant.

'Pork Belly' ($18) is definitely one of the most popular meats in BBQ as well as I do feel that it is one of the best or even the best. Although some of the restaurants do offer 2 different types of cutting whether it may be thick sliced or thin slices.

'Marinated Beef' ($18) is simple but delicious though it did seem like they just chucked a whole big spoonful of it on a plate and placed a few veges on the side. It is more of a minced beef marinated in bulgogi sauce which is one of their beef dishes usually served with warm rice on the side. Also, on the menu it does say the meats are served with assorted vegetables which people may find it abit err in a way where it could've been presented in a way that actually mean what it says. Instead, it always only consist of a mushroom sliced in half and a slice of pumpkin. Pretty sure they could've given abit more than that..

'Kimchi Pancake' is great when sharing and also wanting something on the side instead of soup or dumplings. I would recommend pancakes more than dumplings to share. Also, a nice tip of what I like to do is by placing a slice of the pancake onto the grill to make that smoky flavour and also heating it up at the same time. The kimchi taste was there but I'm unsure if they do use just powder or real kimchi in it.

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.

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..

Ku-o Japanese Restaurant, Market Square, Sunnybank, Brisbane

Ku-o is one of the few Japanese restaurants in Market Square, Sunnybank. There aren't many seats available, maybe a few booths and then small tables in the middle. However, if you're around and don't feel like chinese or viet food, then have a try here, maybe some things will get your tastebuds going. We came here for lunch after I had just finished my classes for the day in uni and they do have lunch sets which includes a choice of a variety of dishes served with mini oden, salad, pickles and an Iced Barley Tea. However, we did not order the lunch set since we didn't want to eat too heavy.

Ramen Champion, Sunnybank, Brisbane

Ramen Champion is one of the few places focusing on Ramen located in Sunny Park just opposite Market Square in Sunnybank. Although one thought of mine was whether they could top the existing Ramen places.. The place from the front, does not really attract nor does its interior, no Japanese influence at all.

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.

Himawari, Sunnybank Plaza, Sunnybank, Brisbane

so-called Chicken Karaage Curry

Oh Himawari, what happened? I remembered the first time I tried Himawari was in Elizabeth Arcade in the CBD, way back years ago. They have another branch which is in Sunnybank Plaza. We decided to come here for lunch, since we were wanting Japanese curry for lunch during the time. Unfortunately, it was disappointing...

Domino's Pulled Pork Range Review

Good Ol' Dominos, they've recently released their new Pulled Pork range which consisted of three different varieties of Pulled Pork pizzas. Now, pulled pork is everywhere at the moment, it's basically a hit in restaurants around here. Don't let the name 'pulled pork' hold you back or under estimate it, it's not as easy as you think to cook pulled pork. Pork meat pulled apart? Well, not exactly.. it's pork meat being slow cooked at a low temperature until it becomes tender to pull itself apart without you having to put extra effort by getting your forks and pulling the meat off each other.. Domino's gave me the chance to try their new range and who could say no to pizza and pulled pork? Oh, and also without having to move an inch or get out of the house and drive to pick it up..
