Sweet Potato Shortcake - Big Gun Restaurant

A few days ago,  I went to Yum Cha at Big Gun Chinese Restaurant . I tried their new dessert, Sweet Potato Shortcake.  It tastes good, I like that is so sweet. Moreover, that is quite soft too! Lastly, it looks cute too! I love it a lot!

In Hong Kong which is my home town, the most of people will choose to spend their Easter Holidays at shopping malls.  But that is a bit different in Brisbane. Today is Good Friday. The most of shopping centers are closed. Moreover, I think most of Australian are not very keen to do shopping.  What do they do?

This  morning, I brought my camera to Southbank. I wish to take some good photo and have a fresh air under a such good weather. Wow, that is full of people. I think the most of Brisbane people got a same thought of mine. They plan to spend their Good Friday outdoor too!

Some people sit on the glass to do reading and chatting.

There were some people prefer to be more active. They  spent their afternoon in the inland beach at southbank.

Well, although the most of shopping centers are closed, the weekend market at southbank were opening, there are some people to do shopping.

In addition, there were still plenty of people to do the simplest things, walking at riverside walk.

I like those activities than shopping in a mall. However, I did not do any of those activities. I was walking around Southbank with my camera and took a lot of good photo!

 

Hong Kong Style Dessert - Red Bean Soup

I like Hong Kong Dessert. As far as I know, there is only one Hong Kong Style Dessert Shop in Sunnybank Plaza. That is not enough.  I wish there will be more choices. Moreover, we have a number of Hong Kong Style restaurant, why isn’t there a huge demand on Hong Kong Style Dessert? Even a lot of Local Australia have known about out Red Bean Soup.

Coffee is better in Brisbane

I am from Hong Kong. Recently, cafe becomes popular in Hong Kong.But I and my friends from Brisbane are prefer the coffee from Brisbane. Moreover, I think Brisbane has a coffee culture.  But I think the coffee beans in Brisbane and Hong Kong are same.

Pine & Bamboo Peking Restaurant

Peking Duck is a famous dish from Beijing. I had this kind of dish  in Hong Kong a number of times, even I cannot remember the actual number at all! Those peking ducks are not as delicious as the one I had a restaurant in Brisbane, Pine & Bamboo Peking Restaurant.

A number of friends have recommended this restaurant to me, but I had not chances to try their peking duck before. Last month, finally, I had a chance to have a dinner in there!  Well, that is very good! I have not been disappointed at all!

Cutting skin out - peking duck

Before I talk about their duck, I wish to talk about their staff’s skill. They are highly skilled! I saw a staff cutting the skin out of duck! That is a kind of performance! It looks a dance!

Duck Skin

Looks! The skin is so thin!!!Moreover, that is very very tasty too!!!  Moreover, if it serves with sweet bean sauce, that will more tasty.

San Chou Bow

That is not just duck skin. They used duck meat to serve with lettuce cups. It calls “sang choy bow”.  It is  delicious!

Both dishes impressed me a lot. I believed they are more authentic than those I had in Hong Kong. Maybe, Hong Kong is developing too fast. It cannot keep the authentic Chinese traditional dishes.

Brisbane International Airport - Wool Cutting Sculpture

I like Brisbane International Airport. There is a lot of open space and is not full of shops. Moreover, there are some art works to represent Australia. There is a art work I like most. This is Wool Cutting Sculpture. Australia produces a lot of good wool. We have a lot of famous wool product brand names, such as UGG. Thus, I think this sculpture is very suitable to represent Australia!

Loin Dance

On Monday(23/1/2012), that is the Chinese New Year’s day. But Sunnybank Plaza has started their Chinese New Year Program. At 3pm today, I went to Footcourt in Sunnybank plaza. There was Loin & Dragon Dance Performance. A lot of people were watching in there.  That is not just our Chinese, there are a number of Australian too! Everyone is very enjoy in there. We can experience the joy of Chinese New Year!

Moreover,  Loin Dance is very cool! Those two loins both look like very young , they are  full of energy.  They kept to run and jump around the foodcourt!  After the Loin Dance, that is the showtime of Dragon! That is a shiny blue dragon! That looks beauty. In Hong Kong, we only have those golden dragon. That is my first times to see a blue dragon dance. That is cool!

Well, there is a chance. On 3pm Tomorrow(22/1/2012) , there will be another session of performance.

Chicken Curry in a wok

Chicken Curry in a wok - Coffee Square

 

I think you may have Chicken Curry with Rice before. Most of times that is in a bowl. This Monday, I went to Coffee Square in Sunnybank. That is quite special, this one is in a wok. This is a good idea to keep the Chicken Curry always warm. Moreover, I like curry sauce too! That is not very hot. I recommend this one!
