I like to have a Chicken Curry in Hanaich, I love it. But during these years, they increased their price a bit, quite expensive.
There is a new option. A new curry shop has opened in Postoffice square food court. I tried that last week. I had a curry chicken with rice which is very nice and its price is only $5.70! I can save some money for lunch!
Address:
Shop 10,280 Queen Street

Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers 2012 started yesterday. As usual, there is a lot of flowers in Queens Park. Moreover, those family won The Chronicle Garden Competition. They opens their winning home gardens to the public.
But too bad, I don’t think I will have time to go! even though I had time, I missed their grand central floral parade which is held this afternoon. There were a lot of floral floats and street performers.

There is a big event in our Chinese community. That is Taiwan Festival which held on Today and Tomorrow in Upper Mt Gravatt Showgrounds. I went to there this afternoon, that is great. A lot of people went there too.
When I entered the showgrounds, the scale of this event is quite big. I saw a lot of rides in there too! I think the kids would love them!
Moreover, there are a few counter to provide traditional Taiwanese Food, such as Cold Noodles and Tofu pudding.
I spent $2 to buy three fried cuttlefish balls, that was tasty!
Besides of food, this festival is about Taiwan. Traditional Taiwanese Performance is “must have” such as Taiwanese Puppet shows. I saw a part of that too!
This event is great. But if you plan to go there, please aware that is hard to find a park spot in the showgrounds.

Inflation in Australia is very high. Last year, there is still possible to find a under $10 lunch in City. Now, that is harder and harder, near impossible now. Moreover, bus fare is increased by 15% at the beginning of this year. I have to cut down my spending. But I need to have a cup of coffee every day! That is the way to keep myself awake during the day. I just get a smaller size now. I used to buy Tall size cappuccino in starbucks. Now, I changes to buy short size.
Last Friday, I went to watch City of Lights, because I want to enjoy the show this times. Last times, I concentrated on taking photo. I did not put my focus on the show. But this times, I put into the fancy world created by those laser beams, music and spotlights.
Besides enjoying the show, I found the culture forecourt was like a party, a lot of people was drinking in courier mail spiegeltent and santos lounge.
I backed to Brisbane about two weeks. I am thinking of wonton noodle soup in Hong Kong. Well, I can find this kind of food in Brisbane . They are tasty too. But they are a bit different from Hong Kong. So I want to go back Hong Kong .
IKEA won’t provide free coffee to their IKEA Member during weekend, but the deal is still running during Monday to Friday. Moreover, Coffee is always $2 with free refill. That is still very cheap. Instead of free coffee, there is a new deal for IKEA Member, that is Fish & Chips for $3.95. Such as this afternoon, I had Fish & Chips with a coffee for $5.95. That is still very reasonable.

When you watch City of Lights, there are not just Pizza and Chips to eat. There is a more decent place, Santos Lounge. That is a big tent located at the center of cultural forecourt, and that is the best spot to City of Lights. You can order a drink in the bar and watch the show! But I think that can cost around $20.
I walked passed Brisbane City Hall. Suddenly, I found that is so beautiful and peaceful. I felt the clock is ticking slower. I have not realized that point before. Maybe that is because I just went back from Hong Kong ,which is a city never stop, about a week. I can feel the contrast between two different worlds.
