I’VE BEEN going to this little place in Toowong for years now. Mostly Toowong is all Coffee Clubs and ZYX’s and slam-bam type food outlets. Toowong used to have that great Malaysian Experience restaurant where you could sneak in a goon cask and drown your sorrows in wine while getting your grub on with […]

…And What I Recommend You Do With $15.
Let me tell you now – these aren’t the same things.
If only $2.75 bought a kebab in the city. Granted, teamed with Alice’s $2.75 we almost had the elusive kebab in hand, but somehow ended up with the $5.50 special of Black Pepper Beef with Noodle from […]

Barang: Asia Cafe Culture
5/8 Station Road, Indooroopilly
3720 0169
Open Wednesday to Sunday, Closed Public Holidays
I AM frustrated no end by the lack of chill-out places around Indooroopilly. One would think a suburb with a major, three-storey shopping centre would be rife with coffee culture. Apparently not.
Some might argue in favour of […]

Ah yes, it was a fateful Friday night and not a sound murmured in the house, this was a perfect situation for me in sneak out of the house to get my boogie on down at little Stanley St. Yes it was time for me to embrace my John Travolta side and to slip into […]

Aaaahhhh, Brisbane. It’s that cold nibble at your toes around 11pm at night, when you’re taking that solitary self-immersed stroll along the river. It’s the new chill in the breeze that buffers your cheeks as you watch the Story Bridge lights slip over the blackened water, as if submersible fireworks were exploding, creating […]
