I went to the Compton Road’s mall for lunch last week by accident because I was planning to go to another full Japanese restaurant, and there was no parking space. Fortunately, I found several popular places in the mall, and the most popular is En Sushi. It was only around 12 o’clock when we arrived, but it took 15 minutes to wait for a table. On Google, their reviews are pretty positive, and some people say that this store, originally in Kuraby, and the old site has some reputation.

Chicken Katsu Rice Bento ($19.90)

Chicken Katsu Rice Bento ($19.90)

As soon as I entered the store, I saw that most people ordered a bento box, so I also ordered a fried chicken chop (chicken katsu) bento box, which cost about $20. In this era of high inflation, for $20, there is a bento meal with rice, chicken chop, two fried prawns, miso soup, and three small plates of side dishes, which is really good value. So I believe everyone is because of this bento box. As for the taste, they are all good, the chicken chop is quite juicy, and the fried chicken is fragrant.

Sunset Roll ($20.90)

In addition, I also ordered a Sunset roll, and the salmon was almost smooth. And there is a lot of salmon in them, so they are all enough!

Unagi Don $24.90

In addition, I also ordered a Sunset roll, and the salmon was almost smooth. And there is a lot of salmon in them, so they are all enough!
Of course, we went with the kid. Thus, I need to order fully cooked food for her. This time, I ordered Unagi rice. Of course, that is hard to go wrong with this style of rice. In general, so the taste is not bad.

This Japanese restaurant is good, and I will consider going next time.

Sizzling Steak  - Ho Lin Wah Restaurant

Sizzling Steak should be a special kind of Hong Kong-style food. When I was young, in Hong Kong, I liked Café and Maxim’s Sizzling Steak. In the past, the set menu at Brisbane Hong Kong Style Restaurant was only about $10, while the Sizzling Steak was $15, 50% more. But, now is the era of high inflation, the set meal is already about $14 for me, and the iron plate steak says about $17 for me, just pay a few dollars more and eat the original Steak! So, I went to Ho Lin Wah Restaurant a few days ago to eat this kind of Steak. The texture of the Steak is tender and juicy. That is not small too.Especially in winter, it is very warm to eat when that is served on the hot iron plate.

I had betty’s burgers years ago.

It was the shop that opened in Surfers Paradise back then, and in my memory, it had the reputation of being the most delicious hamburger of that year on Gold Coast. So in my impression, their burgers are delicious.

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to have dinner at the surface paradise branch again.

CRISPY CHICKEN SUPREME

I ordered their CRISPY CHICKEN SUPREME and fries ($5) on the same day for about $20, so it’s a mid-priced burger. The chicken was crispy, the meat quality was good, and the bread was soft. As for the fries, they were normally crispy. Fries are hard to go wrong.

There is a special offer on the day, if you order a hamburger and a side dish, you can have a free children’s meal. And the portion is also the same as the adult meal, and there are still fries.

Also, they have a Mobile App, and there are some discounts from time to time. You can order the food and just select the pick-up Location in the mobile app as the branch where you are in. Then you need to inform the staff to order food in the mobile app. In the end, the staff k will bring it to the table where you sit.

Hot Cross Bun Easter Sundaes,

Hot Cross Bun Easter Sundaes ($2)

Since it is Easter, there is festive food, Hot Cross Bun Easter Sundaes, only $2, not bad.

In conclusion, it tastes good. Although it doesn’t seem to be as good as in my memory, maybe memories will always be beautified. In addition, the staff has a very good attitude and is very active in helping customers.

The chicken was deep-fried, and it was even more fragrant with the tar tar sauce. It’s really worthy of being the restaurant’s signature dish, and $11.80 is a little cheap, and the portion size is okay. Plus a bowl of miso soup. It makes me feel almost full.

In addition, there are also three pieces of tofu you can use for $1; although it is not too special, it can make you feel more full.

sashimi rice -$15.80

Besides, you can also order their sashimi rice for only $15.80. Japanese restaurants are all about $20 to have sashimi rice. They were quite a lot, several slices of salmon and several slices of other fish sashimi.
To sum up, the tasty is good, and the price is more affordable.

Chanoyu Japanese infused cafe

Because we have an annual pass for Sea World, we go to South port, which is close to Sea World a lot. Recently, we went there again, but that was a Sunday. Many restaurants in this area, especially Japanese restaurants, are closed on Sundays. So a friend introduced a Japanese-style coffee shop that would be open on Sundays to us, and I checked their Facebook page. It turns out that many friends have also visited it so that it will be famous, so I went there to try it.
The store is located in a small shopping street, just on the side of a park, so it can be said to be a low profile shop. In fact, the store is not low key at all. It is well known in the Asian circle of Gold Coast, and I saw some people buying takeaway coffee, we arrived around noon, and many people were already sitting for lunch.


As for the food, I just thought of omelet rice, which looks well, tastes good, the eggs are slippery, and the rice is fried well, which is very attractive. As for the wife, she just ordered wagyu soup and rice, and the appearance is beautiful.

As for the drinks, the most popular is matcha tea, and mine is the matcha espresso. Of course, it is very fragrant, and the appearance is first-class.

There are also children’s meals, such as sushi and french fries. Although it should be nothing special, it looks quite good, and my kid really likes it.


There is one more option in my list of restaurants in South port, and if you want to have a drink and a meal, the laundry fee is about 20 dollars per person.

Before, it was mentioned that buying takeaways in Yuanbao as Chinese New Year’s meal. So I ordered takeout there during the Chinese new year. Of course, it was a big festival, so I ordered takeout first in the afternoon and prepared it at the convenience food store. I especially chose a steamed Barramundi!

 

First of all, this steamed Barramundi, this steamed fish is the main feature of this meal, I really can’t do it myself.
The meat is tender and smooth, and the standard in Hong Kong restaurants is similar. It turns out that the style of Taiwanese steamed fish and Cantonese steamed fish is the same.

The second dish is the Sauteed Chicken with Sesame Oil, Soy Sauce, and Rice Wine. This dish has a very fragrant Melaleuca taste. The wine taste is not heavy, but it still has the aroma of a wine.

This New Year’s meal is satisfying, with fish and meat.

Since a year ago, a friend introduced us to a Taiwanese restaurant in pinelands, Yuanbao, for dinner. After tasting it, I thought it was very delicious, so we had celebrations and Chinese New Year meals recently, so I ordered takeout twice there.

First of all, of course, the most famous one there, Fried Boneless Duck Taro with Vegetable Puree, when I was waiting for takeout, I saw almost every table e ordering this dish, and I believe it is really the signature dish there. The first time I ate it, I thought it was very delicious. It was crispy, crispy in the mouth, and soft in the inside. The duck meat was rich in flavor. However, be sure to eat it while it’s still hot, buy it out the next time, and freeze it a little, it won’t be so crispy.

The second dish was sweet and sour pork without fried powder. There is still pineapple and sweet and sour, very appetizing, and very fragrant.

The last thing is that when the vegetables are fried with minced garlic, they are not too greasy and fragrant. Although they are similar to the ones I bought, they are much better fried, and the heat and control are better than mine, which is attractive and attractive.

For this dinner, I ordered three pieces of food, which cost about 60 dollars. However, the amount is good, and some can be leftover for lunch the next day, and the taste is even better.

Fresh Fish at Brisbane

We Chinese like to eat fresh fish. After coming to Australia, it is more complicated. Generally, supermarkets sell already processed fish fillets. Even if you go to some fish markets, there will only be chilled fish, but they should be the same day processed. I’ve tried steaming, and it’s okay.
If you want to eat seafood, you can go to the opposite side of Times Square at Sunnybank. An Asian fish market on the side of the Korean barbecue shop, Fresco in calamvale, and Fresco in sunny park (if I remember correctly) all have fresh fish to sell.
In addition, whether it is chilled or fresh fish, you can ask the staff to “clean it.” Therefore, the staff will take the internal organs in fish away after returning home. Then, you can cook directly cook them after washing.

BigW in Calamvale central has been closed for a while, and after that, it took a while to renovate. Finally, it was completed this week. The area opened an Asian supermarket, fresco supermarket,

a family game center, billiard room,

and some restaurants.


Last night, I went to fresco supermarket. It is huge and has more than half the area of ​​BigW. It is said that it is the largest Asian supermarket in Australia. It has meat stalls, fish stalls, vegetables, fruits, and general Asian goods. That is comfortable and clean. However, it was expensive. And some area still seems to be getting ready, some shelves are empty, and the bakery department is not open.

Woolworths Durian Egg Roll


I’m a durian lover and saw Woolworths have durian egg rolls. Moreover, they had half price last week. So I purchased it, and it should be viral. But, unfortunately, I saw that there were only two bags left at that time.
After I bought it back, of course, I had tried it for the first time. That is a very fragrant durian, but I’m not professional enough to tell whether it is 100% real durian or not. It is perfect, a few fragrant, and a few crispy if you look at it as a snack.
As for the value, it is a little more expensive. If there is no half price, it will cost $4. The package is smaller. After I had a few bites, they were almost enough gone. To sum up, if there is another half price next time, I will buy it again.
