A few days ago, I went to Yum Cha at Big Gun Chinese Restaurant . I tried their new dessert, Sweet Potato Shortcake. It tastes good, I like that is so sweet. Moreover, that is quite soft too! Lastly, it looks cute too! I love it a lot!

In the most of situations, you need to pay more than other Asia countries for getting a same thing. But that is not the case for coffee. In Hong Kong, you can get a cup coffee in Starbucks or Pacific Coffee for around HKD$35(~$4). In there, that is around $4, nearly the same price. Maybe, in Hong Kong, normally, we will buy a cup of coffee and sit in the coffee shop for one or two hours. That needs to add the cost of occupying the space for two hours.
Well, back to the key point, which place has better coffee, Brisbane or Hong Kong? I think Brisbane’s Coffee tastes better. I have not drunk a cup of coffee in Brisbane for a while, because I traveled to Hong Kong. Today, I had a coffee at the Coffee Club in Fortitude Valley. I found that is so great, that is even better than five stars hotels in Hong Kong!
So, I love the coffee in Brisbane more!!!

I like Hong Kong Dessert. As far as I know, there is only one Hong Kong Style Dessert Shop in Sunnybank Plaza. That is not enough. I wish there will be more choices. Moreover, we have a number of Hong Kong Style restaurant, why isn’t there a huge demand on Hong Kong Style Dessert? Even a lot of Local Australia have known about out Red Bean Soup.
I am from Hong Kong. Recently, cafe becomes popular in Hong Kong.But I and my friends from Brisbane are prefer the coffee from Brisbane. Moreover, I think Brisbane has a coffee culture. But I think the coffee beans in Brisbane and Hong Kong are same.
Peking Duck is a famous dish from Beijing. I had this kind of dish in Hong Kong a number of times, even I cannot remember the actual number at all! Those peking ducks are not as delicious as the one I had a restaurant in Brisbane, Pine & Bamboo Peking Restaurant.
A number of friends have recommended this restaurant to me, but I had not chances to try their peking duck before. Last month, finally, I had a chance to have a dinner in there! Well, that is very good! I have not been disappointed at all!
Before I talk about their duck, I wish to talk about their staff’s skill. They are highly skilled! I saw a staff cutting the skin out of duck! That is a kind of performance! It looks a dance!
Looks! The skin is so thin!!!Moreover, that is very very tasty too!!! Moreover, if it serves with sweet bean sauce, that will more tasty.
That is not just duck skin. They used duck meat to serve with lettuce cups. It calls “sang choy bow”. It is delicious!
Both dishes impressed me a lot. I believed they are more authentic than those I had in Hong Kong. Maybe, Hong Kong is developing too fast. It cannot keep the authentic Chinese traditional dishes.

Last week, we went to Big Gun Resturant for dinner again. This times is a bit special. We was having a Peking Duck. This is one of the most famous Chinese dishes. Normally, that is quite expensive, but Big Gun Restaurant got a special, that is $38. The price is quite fair. They used the duck to make two dishes.
The first one is the duck skin. The staff was cutting the duck skin off. And putting it on a rice pancake with some sweet bean sauce. That is quite delicious.
The second one is very simple. The staff cut the duck body into pieces. Then you can enjoy the duck meat. That is quite good and a lot of meat. We have enjoyed a big dinner!
If you go to there, you check it out. Let see whether that is on special.

If you go to Southbank and plan to have a fine dinner, I recommend Kapsali. Dinnering in Southbank can be quite expensive. But the dinner price of Kapsali is relative fair. My friends ordered a sea platter for two, that is only $34.50. It has Pawns, Oyters, Fish, Calamari and fruits.
Looks!That’s huge!!! I have tasted a bit of that. That is tasty and fresh!
Not just sea platter, I ordered Barramundi. That is very good too! A fresh taste of fish! But that is a bit expensive, $29.50.
Moreover, if you sit outside of the restaurant, you can enjoy the view of Brisbane river!
That is not bad at all!

I think you may have Chicken Curry with Rice before. Most of times that is in a bowl. This Monday, I went to Coffee Square in Sunnybank. That is quite special, this one is in a wok. This is a good idea to keep the Chicken Curry always warm. Moreover, I like curry sauce too! That is not very hot. I recommend this one!

In the old days, our Chinese people love the fatty Chicken. We love the chicken which have some yellow fat under their skin. That is very high calories! Everyone does not like this anymore, we want to eat healthy. I think you like the Free Range Chicken more. Because this kind of chicken won’t not trapped in cages, is allow them to walk in the farmhouse. Because they can move around, so it will not accumulate so much fat.
Few days ago, we had this kind of chicken in Big Gun Chinese Restaurant. That is not fatty at all. Moreover, the chicken is cooked in a Chinese traditional way, Salt-Baked. That is so tasty and the price is reasonable. Only $38 for a whole chicken. Let’s go to there, have a trail!
