Australia has a lot of Vietnam migrants. They brought the tasty Vietnamese food to Australia too! Even they opened a lot of tasty restaurants.

There is a Vietnamese restaurant I like. It calls Rice Paper Vietnamese Cuisine(漢記) which is in Runcorn, the area close by my house. That is the reason I go there frequently.

In the most of times, I order Chicken noodle soup. The soup base is very tasty. Moreover, I paid a dollar extra to upgrade the noodle to clear noodle, which is a traditional Vietnamese noodle. If you are going to have Vietnamese cuisine, you must try this kind of glass clear noodle. I love their sticky texture a lot!

Besides the noodle soup, you must try Vietnamese black coffee!The coffee taste is very very unique! I felt the taste of this coffee is quite rich!

Okonomi House

On this Tuesday, I and my wife went to Garden City for afternoon tea. When we found there is a student discount in Okonomi House at 8 street food court. This discount is from 3pm to 5pm Monday to Friday. For all student, you can have 20% off during this period. Therefore $3 for the green tea ice-cream and $8 for the Japanese Pizza. That is a good deal! Moreover, the pizza tastes good, I love their pizza, which is very cheesy!

WokaWoka@Warrigal Square

Recently, Runcorn area have a lot of newly opened restaurants.  Beside of the ramen places I tried last week, there is another one I tried recently, Woka Woka at Warrigal Square.

This restaurant opened about two weeks ago and it is a branch of Coffee Square(榮記) in sunnybank. I love there one in sunnybank a lot. So, I was looking forward to try in this new restaurant.

Two week ago, I got a change to have a lunch in there.  I had squid balls noodle soup. That is not bad at all.

They claimed those squid balls hand made by their own. This is the reason of it tasting good.

Lastly, I had milk tea in there, that is really authentic hong kong style.

Milk Tea @Woka Woka

That is a point you should aware, their menu is a bit expensive than the one in sunnybank. The noodle I had costed $12.80. The total bill I had for that lunch is $16.80.

For myself, the price and food quality is not bad at all. I have lunch in there again(Actually, I will have lunch in there today 🙂 )

P.S. there is two choices of lunch set everyday, that is $12.80. The set included a hot drink, main dish and a soup. Note that, these lunch sets are not listed in their menu. You have to ask the staff about that!

Recent months, there are a lot of new restaurants opened in Runcorn area. A few days ago, I found there is a new Japanese ramen restaurant are opened in Runcorn Plaza. It looks very authentic Japanese ramen. I was keen to try.

Yesterday, I got a chance to have lunch in there. This restaurant was quite busy, I arrived before noon, there was already almost full. I tried their Miso Ramen.

Miso Ramen@Genkotsu RamenThat was very nice. It has some sweet corns, japanese style bbq pork (Chashu) and half of eggs. Quite a lot of ingredients. Moreover, miso soup base is super tasty too! Ramen has a great texture too! I love it.

Moreover, the interior of shop looks very authentic Japanese, the spoons, chopsticks and bowls look like from Japan too!

Although the price is quite expensive, $12.50, you need to pay $1 for extra noodle. Some other ramen restaurants offer free extra noodle. Well, the portion of noodle is not small, that is good enough for me as a lunch. And it offers a loyal card.

After you ordered one ramen, you can earn a stamp(double point on Tuesday and Wednesday). At 9th and 18th stamp, you can have a free side dish, 27th and 36th stamp, you can have a free ramen.

That is not good, I go there for lunch regularly.

wpid-p_20150603_192727.jpgThis morning, Brisbane only has around 3 degree, at the night, there is around 15 degree. That is . I need somethings to warm up. So, we went to Sunny Seoul for dinner. We had korean charcoal bbq. We really warmed up!

 

Chicken  Caesar Warp@Hog's Breath

Hog’s Breath Cafe is a steakhouse I and my wife like. Sometimes, we go to have a streak for dinner.
Actually, there were some good value lunch deals too. A few weeks ago, I have a chicken caesar  wrap with chips, they only are for $9.90. As a restaurant, the price is a good deal. If you have a chicken curry in a food court takeaway store, that will be a similar price.
I think you are considering to go out, that is worth to checkout their lunch set menu.

Salmon Sushi
Sushi Train has a branches across Brisbane, but not every one suits for my taste buds. I like the one in Warrigal Square particularly.
Usually, there are a lot of customers. Thus, the sushi won’t stay in tail too long.They are quite fresh most of times. Moreover, sushi chief made the sushi quite beautiful. For example, this salmon and fish eggs sushi looks cool.

So, this sushi restaurant is in my list of sushi place I prefer to go.

Sashimi Rice @Hana Zushi

Two weeks before,  I went to Hana Zushi for dinner. This restaurant has opened at Sunny Park for a few months. I can still count that one as a “new restaurant”.  Thus, that was a quite excited to try it.

I tried a Sashimi Rice. That was not bad at all. There was a lot of salmon and tuna sashimi. They were very very fresh and tasty. However, the rice is not quite enough. If there could be more rice, I would feel full after that dinner.  Because of the large amount of sashimi, it costed $22.

I found there are a few of lunch sets , such as  curry chicken and  katsu don, are in a good price too, about $13. If you found their dinner is quite expensive, you can try their lunch.

Anyway, I spent $22, I still believed that was value for money. The environment is very comfortable and not very busy at all. We spent about three hours in there. I reckoned that is a good place for gathering with friends!
