Night Noodle Markets 2015

From tomorrow to 5th August, it is the Night Noodle Markets again. You can go to the cultural forecourt of the South Bank every night to “sweep the streets” and taste Asian street food. During the period, there were more than 20 Asian restaurants stalled there, such as:

Filipino skewers – Hoy Pinoy, there is a big charcoal stove to do skewers!

And Blackstar Pastry, n2 Gelato, Teppanyaki Noodles, etc. Blackstar Pastry’s Watermelon Strawberry Cake has been very popular in the Night Noodle Markets in recent years. When I went to Sydney at the beginning of the year, I personally tried their lychee and watermelon cakes. The taste was excellent! my friends in Sydney say it’s one of the must-try items for tourists.

Of course, it will not be just about “food” , there will be some live music performances too.

I believe that this year’s night market will be quite exciting!

However, according to the experience of previous years, the amount of food they sold is not too significant. If you want to eat enough, each person will spend almost $20, and please remember your bank card, only accept the card, not cash.

ToysRUS Australia ran into the Administration for a while. About a month ago, their Administrator planned to close down all stores across Australia.
Because of this action, all stores are running a closing down sales. Last week, I went to their store in Garden City. I found there are still a fair amount of stocks. The most of goods got the 20% to 40% off. Today, I got an email from them, there will be a further cut-down, 30% to 50% off. I think that will have some good deals. I bought a small bear for my daughter.

 

Brisbane City Council Library in Garden City is serving for Brisbane People for a long period of time. 20 years ago, I moved to Brisbane, that library located in Garden City. Moreover, that is a popular location After we did the supermarket shopping in Garden City, we can go to the Garden City Library for reading. In addition, the collections in the Library have a lot of Chinese books and Magazine. However, today is the last day of this “old” Garden City library. It will close for two weeks and move to a new location on 25/7. Please do not worry, that is still a good location in Garden City, only a steps away. That will move from the current location, next to “ToysRus”, to the new location next Bupa Dental. I read the floor plan of the new library. That sounds bigger too!
Lastly, during the closure period of this library, there will be a pop-up library at 2065A Shop. You can renew the loaned books and return the books.
