Bambo Basket - Brisbane (Chinese Cuisine)

One of first restaurant that I visit in Brisbane in this short trip is Bambo Basket at South Bank. You can find this restaurant quiet easy because it is big and near the Southbank Cinema :D

Since I'm not sure which one I should order between Crispy prawns with mayo or floss. I ordered both of them! Left pict is Crispy prawns with mayo, the taste is sweet as hell and I like the one with fire floss (pict on the right side). It's more crunchy and not to sweet. . .

 Next, I ordered Prawn Dumplings, I just curious the taste and color of the sauce is really bright. . I'm wondering is that really a pure tomato sauce or they put some food coloring >.< because chinese is well known of their duck! I order Crispy Duck (small portion).

 Furthermore, Chinese also famous for their tofu dishes, so I order Ma Po Tofu. I'm not quiet sure about it but I taste pork mince inside and the tofu is really soft. It is similar with Japanase egg tofu if you ever try it.
Last batch! I don't know what is wrong with my stomach because I feel hungry and I ordered my last dishes: Braised Duck!

As usual for drink, I only ordered tea or hot water :D

Recommended dish: Braised Duck, Crispy Duck, Mapo Tofu and Prawn Dumplings w/ Tomato sauce!

Jakarta - Brisbane for Graduation Ceremony

Hello again!

I'm back to Indonesia in about a week ago, I can't post anything in blog due to busy schedule.
*honestly, I'm a lazy person >.<"

So, Here is the short story about my trip to Brisbane for Graduation Ceremony.

I have flight with Singapore Airlines from Jakarta - Singapore (11 December 2012, 21.00PM) if I'm correct.

Since I traveled in around Christmas day, the Singapore Airlines adding Christmas decoration in their flight :D

I also order Seafood meal with apple apple and banana crumble as dessert for flight from JKT - SG.

On the other hand, I just ordered fruit platter for flight SG - BNE because it is over midnight already and I can't eat much. I prefer sleep! haha

Finally I arrived in Brisbane at around 11.00 AM of 12th December.

To make it short, I participate in my graduation ceremony on 14th December ;p

Of course I eat a lootttttt of foods in there and I will post it in no time. .  just wait and see :D

Himawari - Brisbane (Japanese Restaurant)

Himawari is a japanase fast food restaurant and located in 97 Elizabeth st.
The price in this restaurant also not to expensive, Each main course cost about $10 - 14 AUD.

Moreover, we can an extra rice for free!!

I suggest you to order menu in here with number that they show it on their board (see the left picture) because the waitress in there are not to good in english LoL

I order pork-katsu with additional chicken karage in this restaurant. . .Did I tell you that they have promotion that if we ordered main menu and only with additional $2.5 AUD, we can get 3 pieces of chicken karage or tofu :D  They also gives miso soup as an extra!                                                                                                                      

Pork-katsu and chicken karage are really crispy! On the other hand, their salad is out of my expectation. I never expected they will give me a fusion salad in japanese restaurants like this, it is consist of: Tomato, Mushroom, Lettuce and others. The taste of their salad is not really good, I don't like it at all.

Overall, this restaurant is one of my recommended restaurant for students in Brisbane because it's cheap, located in CBD, taste is delicious and don't forget: Free extra rice :D

Dear to whoever is reading this blog . .

I just finished packing all of my stuff for flight to Brisbane - Australia and participate in graduation ceremony on 14th December 2012! :D

I haven't went to Brisbane in a year and I'm kinda exciting because I have a good memory with this city!

I miss how we can enjoy the city light at the night from south bank

I miss how good street performer in there!

I miss the City Cat! We can use small ferry to go from University of Queensland to CBD.
The price is almost same as a bus and we can enjoy the Brisbane View!!! :D

This is also the place where I do my jogging outside the gym for the first time with nike+!

And for the last! I really miss their delicious foods!!!
Some of restaurants in Brisbane is an award winning and top 50 best restaurant in Asia.
Without a doubt, you need to spend more money in that kind of restaurant hahaha
There are also restaurants that is not to expensive, but give a good presentation and taste on foods.

Really can't wait to arrived in Brisbane! :D
