Marine World Seafood Cafe

Mr food hunter was craving for good seafood on his birthday and a quick check on Urbanspoon saw Marine World on the no. 2 spot. Reviews from others were excellent and we decided to make a day going about the East side of Brisbane.

Willes

After a show at the Balmoral cineplex, we headed to Willes for a simple lunch. It was hectic busy, the queue was snaking long, staff were frantically trying to tie in the orders and even a nicely dressed lady boss (we presume?) came out to help clear tables.

Comfort at My Table

A revisit to Comfort at my Table and Miss Food Hunter never fails to order a pot of their Soy Chai Tea. Its a must for Chai tea lovers and best shared between 2. This time around i had the pleasure of sharing the pot with my Mum who has now found a new love for spiced tea.

Sourced Grocer

Sourced Grocer is the perfect place to be when one's looking to stock up on some gourmet deli treats and to enjoy a simple quality breakfast with a good cuppa within a seconds reach. As the cafe only has one communal table and a few window seatings, it is not recommended for large groups. Weekends can get really busy and probably best to just takeaway!

Sprout Cafe

Toasted Ciabatta and Trio of Dips...Lovely!

Yum Yum Yum is all i'd wish to say for starters on  this post on Sprout Cafe! Family came down to Brissy for a week long holiday and so the food hunters were treated to a series of 'good eating' in the past week. Sprout Cafe has lovely soft wooden furnishings, dim lighting and the layout so simplistic that the whole dining experience felt casual and somewhat communal. 

Pompidou

We had such a pleasant mid-sunday afternoon yesterday.....

There is this tranquility being in Hawthorne and with the expansive park nearby, it felt wonderful to have a stroll around after our satisfying meal at Pompidou!

Nest Cafe

This post was meant to be about 3 weeks back but it was in someway forgotten being caught up with other posts. Nest Cafe is part of a block of units and located down a very quiet lane away from heavy traffic. We were there on a weekday lunch and their main patrons were business people from around the area. It was past 2pm but there were many who came in for takeaways.

Hellenic House

We were quite surprised upon entering the Hellenic House to see a vast hall where the greek community gather for conversations and their games of chest...or some other game perhaps... We suppose this is the original Greek Club? The interior is rather dim so we decided to sit outdoors right at a far end, after placing our orders at the counter.

Milk Ashgrove

This is our second visit to Milk and the first was at their Newmarket outlet which is much smaller in terms of seating capacity. And the reason for why we enjoy Milk, is for their signature Milkshakes that are truly frothy and comes in a tall metal cup.

La Vosh Patisserie

Miss food hunter was craving bagels and decided to visit La Vosh as was recommended on another food blog. Can't say that we are good judges of bagels as Mr food hunter hadn't had one before and Miss food hunter's closest bagel binge in Singapore was either frozen or the Blueberry ones from Starbucks. This was several years back too!

The Ponycat Cafe

What a great addition to the cafe/ restaurant scene along Brunswick street! Au Cirque is probably the only prominent breakfast brunch place along this stretch and we can see that the Ponycat is fast becoming a strong contender! We arrrived slightly before 12noon on a windy saturday and service was busy busy but thankfully, a friendly waitress came to us and told us we could have the high table indoor soon as she cleared it and that she'd take our orders.

Day out @ GC & Burleigh Brew Co.

We planned for a weekend out at Gold Coast as we booked in for a tour at the Burleigh Brewery. We revisited one of our favourite Japanese restaurant- Yuuga at Surfer's for an early lunch before the tour. We like Yuuga for the variety in their bento lunch sets, their reasonable prices, friendly service, restaurant atmosphere and but of course, quality of food.  

Vapiano

Mr and Miss food hunter have been to Vapiano a long long time ago when it first opened in brissie.  We left quite happy at the time but havent been back in a while.

Soul Bistro

We would have liked to have taken at least a shot of this very simple eatery nestled at a corner of Milton Centro, but lunch was a little bit of a rush as we had an appointment to make after. The first time we tasted Chef Terry Leung's creations was way back in June 2006/7 as there was a X'mas promo on at their food & Soul restaurant at Auchenflower. We have been wanting to try his new venture- Soul Bistro for some time now and finally we've made it here....

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....
