Month: July 2019

From today to 4th August, it is the Night Noodle Markets again. You can go to the cultural forecourt of the South Bank every night to “sweep the streets” and taste Asian street food. During the period, there were more than 20 Asian restaurants stalled there, such as:

Filipino skewers – Hoy Pinoy, there is a big charcoal stove to do skewers!

And Flying Noodles, Chu the Phat, Calabang, Wok Master, May’s Malaysian Hawker, etc.

Of course, it will not be just about “food” , there will be some live music performances too.

I believe that this year’s night market will be quite exciting!

However, according to the experience of previous years, the amount of food they sold is not too significant. If you want to eat enough, each person will spend almost $20, and please remember your bank card, only accept the card, not cash.

Last year, the little shop event in Coles was very successful. I had a lot of friends who were crazy about it; they were trying to get every mini-collectibles. The 2nd series of Little Shop has started now. Same as last year, if you spend more than $30 in Coles or Coles Express, even with Fuel, you get a mini-collectible toy, such as mini-peanuts butter, mini-bread roll, mini-toothpaste. We are not crazy about that, but we are keen on that. This year, even we bought a little toy coles shopping trolley for holding the mini-collectibles. Are you keen on that too?

Usually, my dearest dad takes mother and me for our once weekly dinners out every Sunday. However, I told dad that I couldn’t have dinner out with him tomorrow night because Origin Two was happening! Would he please take mother and me out for dinner tonight instead? Dad said yes!

We live around ten minutes away from The Sunnybank Sports and Community Club. Aside from pokie machines there’s also a restaurant tucked deep within the building. The meals there are reasonably priced and the serving sizes are decent, leaving you satiated, if not full, after your meal. Dad prefers ordering two meals for three people.

There are nightly specials; since we often visit there Sunday, we know the Sunday special is a roast.

Tonight the two special dishes($15 each) were stir fry chicken with rice and fried vermicelli with beef. Perfect; we didn’t even need to check out the menu and just ordered those two specials for us.

Usually we all just drink water but suddenly tonight dad orders himself a Jim Bean Whisky and Cola! Mother and I both sneak sips from the bottle~

Our food arrives promptly and we all tuck in. Somewhere in the distance, applause can be heard; there’s live entertainment tonight!

The Sunnybank Sports and Community Club hires decent chefs because the white rice we were served tonight was soft and delicious. Often, when Westerners attempt to cook rice with a saucepan, the rice comes out hard and crunchy, eww!

Perhaps we’ll come back here for dinner again after the mighty Maroons have taken out the Origin series!

These two weeks

Now is the school holiday period, so there are several activities for children around Brisbane. Last Sunday, we went to the ice skating at Indooroopilly Shopping Center. In the 1 level, near coles, they set up a small ice rink with real ice! Although that is small, they offer all kinds of gears included skates, and that is free of charge. Also, even your kids is too young to do skating, they can sit on kangaroo trolley to skate.
Because that is free of charge, you are offered a 15-minutes session in the rink. The purpose of this event is to allow the kids to try skating.
Lastly, this event will be ended on this Sunday. However, all online pre-booked sessions are booked out. You need to try the walk-in session 10am-4pm (or 10am-8pm on Thursdays). You will be allocated the next available timeslot on that day. This event is top-rated, so I suggest you go to try on the weekday.
