Remember when you were 23 18, and you used to down just whatever drink was the cheapest? When the local pub stopping 2-4-1s was the hot topic of conversation among your friends for months? (Yes, Royal Exchange, I am looking at you) Those days were fun, weren’t they. Now, my tastebuds prefer to[...]

Garuva
Garuva has long been known as a romantic, cosy, sort of ‘sexy’ spot. I always used to bug D to take me there. “It smells like hippies,” he would grunt, and then shove me in the direction of the nearest Eagle Boys. I kid, I kid. He’s a Dominos man. Plus, he’s wrong[...]

Siana Review
So, I have a bit of a burping problem. Shocking, I know. But let me tell you: I can let out some amazing belches. They are whoppers. My brother taught me how, and now I beat even him when we have a burp-off (and before you ask, we’re both in our twenties). I admit there [...][...]

Tipple: Jazz Bar
Drink your Dessert I’m starting to get into the cocktails lately. Don’t ask me why-it’s not like I can afford $20 drinks. When I’m standing at the bar, and I’m presented with a list of delicious concoctions, my mind seems to convince me otherwise. Such was the case rece[...]

Bar Barossa Blogger Dinner
Blogger Bonanza (oh and good food + wine) Blogging (or is it pronounched ‘yohging’?) has not quite taken off in Brisbane as it has in Melbourne, Sydney, and especially North America. Usually when I tell people I have a blog I am met with a blank look. It was, therefore, a nice relief to [...]
Area profile: South Bank
All the Colours of the Food Rainbow South Bank used to have a beverage that my friends and I thought was the ultimate in culinary delights: the Rainbow Smash. I can hear you all sneer, “Oh, it’s just a frozen coke.” It is not just a frozen coke. It is a Rainbow SMASH, people. It[...]
5th Element Review
Unique Treat Lately, desserts have been making me sad. Caramel slice. Baked cheesecake. Even the humble chocolate mud has been getting me down. Don’t get me wrong, classics like these will always have a special place in my heart, along with things like Degrassi Junior High and Brad Pitt. It is[...]
Cicada Review
Cool Confusion I hate Crocs. Not because they’re sort of ugly (apologies to any Crocs lovers out there). I hate them because as a shoe, they fail. What are they? Are they gardening shoes? Are they shoes to wear in the shower at the gym? Are they casual weekend shoes? Do you wear socks with [..[...]

Onyx Review
Ridiculously Good LookingI like to think I live on the edge. When rain is forecast, I go out without an umbrella. I eat things that are a bit past the use by date. I ‘forget’ to ask them to omit the cream in an iced chocolate, then feign surprise when it arrives piled high with [...][...]
Watt Park Lounge at the Powerhouse Review
I freakin’ love the Powerhouse. There’s just something about the place that makes me feel at home. It’s great to chill on Sunday afternoons – you can sit, grab a beer, talk shit with your friends and when you’ve run out of stuff to talk about you can go and watch some comedy or live [...][...]
