MEN YA GO

Japanese ramen is very popular in Brisbane, not only us, with strong Asian background, love it. A lot of local Aussie like that. I think that is the major reason, and our Brisbane CBD has a lot of good Japanese ramen restaurants. One of those i love is MEN YA GO. I tried that one again this week. I ordered a Shoyu Tonkotsu costs $14.80, which is a bit expensive, but it tastes great. The noodle texture is very firmly, which I like. And the soap base is with good flavor, a lot of sesame flavor. Moreover, it has free extra noodles too. But it already put in your bowl, rather than put in an individual bowel like others.
I love it, and i will have it again if I go to the city back.

P1120848Last Saturday is the ANZAC day, also, that is the centenary Gallipoli war.

That is a special meaning to watch the ANZAC Parade. So, I went to Brisbane City for this.

P1120844

At the start of parade, there was a Marching Brand and the ex-service men and women in the team.

Of course, that was ANZAC, the army marching squad was the most important part of this parade.

P1120891There were some armorer vehicles and army trucks took part.

There were only for those modern vehicles, a number of restored World War I army vehicles were in the parade too!

Also,  I saw a team were dressed World War I Australian army uniform to pay tribute those soldiers scarified.

This parade gave me a short lesson about Australian War history!

 

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.

Today is 31/12. 2015 is coming. That is the time to celebrate!  In Southbank, there will be a lot of activities for 2015 Celebration. The major one is firework in Brisbane River. There will be two shows, one is on 8.30 pm, another will be on 0:00 of 1/1/2015.  That will be fun to go out southbank for fireworks and having new year countdown together. During past years, I went to southbank with my friends for the new year countdown. I think you should not miss that. Moreover, there will be many people in southbank, so I recommend you should use public transport.

Have fun tonight!

Christmas Events in Brisbane CBD

Yesterday, Christmas Celebrations in Brisbane CBD have started . Of course, I recommend Christmas Parade, which is the one of major events in Brisbane. This parade will be started  6.30 pm every night until 21/12. There will be  around 200 performers. Some of them will dress as Christmas figures such as Santa Claus and the Three Wise Men. I believe the most of kids will like that.

New Myer in Garden City

Myer in Garden City

I went to oversea for about month, so I missed the grand opening of Myer in Garden City.This Sunday, I went to Garden after lunch. I found the Myer store is opened and I spent time in there too. The store has two levels which is similar size of Myer Carindale. That is not very big.

Well, that is good to have a Myer store close by!

NOOSA Chocolate Factory

Recently, the new extension of Garden City is opened. A number of new shops were introduced there.  One of new landmark stores is Noosa Chocolate Factory.  They offer a lot of number unique styles of hand-made chocolates such as blue berries and  sunshine coast macadamias.  By the way, I love their display shelves too. They made of wooden boxes. I love that of simplicity style!

I even bought some as the gifts for my friends in Hong Kong!

Also, this branch has a cafe too. You must try their chocolate drinks.  Some of my friends highly recommended.  Moreover, you can choose the chocolate level. I suggest 56% if chocolate, that is not too sweet.

Yeah! There is another place to have a non-alcoholic drink in Brisbane!

Recently, I tried a new coffee,Cafe Madeleine, next to Hoyts Cinema  in Sunnybank Plaza. Their shop front looks beautiful, I think they hired someone to design that.

Besides of the shop front design, their food tastes good and great values. Last times, we ordered a seafood pan pasta which sounds like a Korean-Italian fusion dish.

Seafood Pan Pasta

I love the sauce, which is very creamy. Moreover, it had a lot of seafood, such as squid, shrimp, mussels and fish. Wow, I paid $8.80 and I cloud have that many types of seafood, that was great value for money.  Moreover, that $8.80 meal included a piece of garlic bread.

garlic bread.

If you go there after 2.30pm, you can try their omelet rice which is only $9.90. I tried their creamy chicken omelette rice.  I loved their omelette, which is fried very well. Inside the omelette, there were tasty chicken fried rice.  Of course, I loved their creamy sauce too.

In addition, this $9.90 deal included a cup of orange juice.
