With easter just a few days away, it’s time to start loading up with chocolate!

This place may just look like one of those local take-away shops that you would normally drive past everyday but never bothered to visit. This is a very small place – it only has 4 tables with less than 15 seats but to my surprise, the food is consistently good with great presentation. It reminds [...]

When talking to locals about traditional Hong Kong food, many people will recommend the ‘Hong Kong style cafe’ but what is this exactly? Let’s begin by going into some history.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year Holidays. Our thoughts go out to everyone who is affected by this Queensland flood. As for us, we had a four-day trip to Noosa on the Sunshine Coast and I’d have to say, one of highlights on this trip was visiting the Wasabi Japanese restaurant. [...]

I drive pass Maru Korean restaurant almost every time we go shopping at Market Square. Occasionally, I noticed the restaurant was full of customers. For us, this is a good indication of good food.
