Kingsleys Steak & Crabhouse

The Fam headed to Kingsleys to celebrate the 30th birthday of Mr food hunter's brother. It was a celebratory occasion and the view & ambience of Kingsleys gave it that extra special touch! It wasn't over the top fine dining and was ideal for Mr food hunter's little nephew. He even received a kids colour pack on arrival.

Campos


It has been sometime since we last visited Campos for a meal and we were delighted when our good ole' friend called us up for lunch at Campos. We've dined at Campos a couple of times now both breakfast & lunch and we never left disappointed but this time around, it turned out rather differently.

Archive Beer Boutique Take 2


Archive's Schnitzle is really popular amongst the diners and we see why...THE SCHINITZ comprises of a large, moist, tender chicken breast deep-fried to perfection and served with creamy, chunky mushroom sauce and crispy thick-cut beer battered chips. It really is a very hearty dish...Burrrrrp!

PourBoy Espresso


Last friday, we decided that we would head into the city for lunch after reading so much on PourBoy Espresso. The cafe is smaller and rather plain looking than orginally thought, but we suppose that's alright as PourBoy primarily services the busy working office crowds...

Fundies & Sassafras Reload

We find ourselves constantly around Paddington lately since our last visit to Anouk. Hmmmm...we think its because of all the meat Mr food hunter has had and so the cravings of gourmet salads led us here. So call this post an update of what's on offer if you wish ; )
From Fundies: Forgotten to take a snapshot of their bowl of Chai...its a must on a warm day! Look back here.

Lee House Korean BBQ


It was Mr food hunter's brother's 25th birthday and so, we decided to try Lee House as Korean bbq was his pick. We called up earlier to make reservations for a table of 7 and apparently, they don't accept reservations and neither are they BYO. Since it was a mid-week dinner, we're probably fine anyway.

Anouk


We're sure that majority of foodies are familiar with Anouk at Paddington. Anouk is synonymous with most highly rated breakfast/ brunch places such as Au Cirque, Gunshop and Pearl Cafe. Last Sunday, we met up with our close friend for lunch and here is the latest's Anouk has to offer....

Chocolate Cottage Cafe

Front of Cafe
The Chocolate cottage cafe was recommended by a lady who works at the Toowoomba tourist info desk. She said that it was a lovely spot for coffee & cakes and commands good expansive views. And so, we headed to Highfields directly as it was just touching noon time.

GPO Cafe & Bar












After a day touring around Toowoomba, we entered the warmth of GPO for our dinner. The setting was simple, lightings were lovely and very cosy indeed, especially under the blaring flames of  a large hanging heater.

Genies Cafe


Genies Cafe is a convenient lunch stop for UQ staff and students when you are after something different outside the usual refec fare. Genies uses Lavazza beans and they do churn out a good cuppa almost every visit. Miss food hunter does a little takeaway detour whenever she walks from one faculty to another.

Ouzeri


Ouzeri is probably one of the older restaurants in the West End precint and yes, we have walked passed it countless times and for some reason we've always turned elsewhere for Greek food. After dinner at Era's, we strolled pass Ouzeri and it was really busy. The aromas that wafted around and the colourful presentations we saw, were indicative of a visit soon and a couple days later, we returned for a weekday lunch.

Fraiche Deli

We have been to Fraiche a fair few times now and we love it for her quiet suburban-ness and just fresh simplicity in their food. If we recall correctly, Merlo used to be served here but now it is Veneziano.

Guzman Y Gomez


After having a couple of snacks in between meals at Jan's Powerhouse last saturday, we decided to have a light lunch before we drove home. Truthfully, Mexican food is not one of our faves but we thought, since we were nearby that we should give Guzman Y Gomez a shot seeing as it was a casual fast-food type of joint.

China Beauty Restaurant


Wow! We will say it straight up that China Beauty Restaurant is a place we'd definitely return to. China Beauty doesn't seem like much at first glance, but the interior decor is a pleasant surprise as oppose to its exterior facade.
