Sol Bread

(to view all pictures in this post, please click on the title above) I like variety in my lunches. Sometimes I want soup; sometimes I want a salad. Sometimes I want one of those blindingly white ham and cheese bread rolls from Woolworths (don’t judge, I know you poke them too to feel their sof[...]

Spotlight: Tognini’s Spring Hill Re-Opening

Man, I love a good deli. There’s something about a huge, viewable range of fresh produce, cheeses, meats, and antipasti that just excites me. Perhaps I was meant to be born an elegant, sexy gal from Perugia, and not a bumbling, is-that-really-another-food-stain-on-my-shirt chick from Canada. [...]

Newsroom Cafe

You know what? I love Starbucks. I do. I don’t care what you think – it’s great. I am fully behind any cafe in Brisbane that stays open past 6pm (*cough* frappucino *cough*). It’s so hard to find cosy cafes in this city that are open late, especially in the suburbs. This is w[...]

Milkbar Review

One morning, after a bit of a hectic night, I stood in front of my open fridge and chugged a huge glass of milk. I have no idea why milk seemed like an ideal beverage at the time, but I do remember how damn refreshing it was. People, if you can get over the chance [...][...]

T4 Pizza Review

Back when I was at uni, I was studying advertising and was doing an campaign for UDLcans. It was also the early days of D, and we were on a little date. Since I was studying UDL cans so on such an intense level, I had to buy a six pack and take them on [...][...]

Blue Lotus Review

I am a very tricky woman. You can’t fool me. That muesli slice, packed with nuts and seeds, that tastes healthy? I know there’s a block of butter in there. That fruit tart, packed with kiwis and peaches? I haven’t forgotten the thick layer of custard sitting under it. If something [...]

My Sweetopia Review

Fancy Cakes There is something about cupcakes that really bothers me. Or rather, there is something about how other people view cupcakes that really bothers me. A cupcake does not have to just be a pretty little cake made with plain vanilla batter, topped with some tasty yet plain icing, and a sugar[...]

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[...]

Coffee and Chocolate Mini Review

Pretty but Pricey Everyone loves teeny tiny chocolates, especially when they’re displayed in a glass case. People crouch in front of the case, making little ‘ooh’ noises, and giving murmurs of advice to their friends on which chocolate to get. On a recent pit stop at Coffee & C[...]

Planet Matterz Review

Hi everyone. Meet Pahvai, our guest poster this week. Her post’s title makes me think of lolcats, and that must be a very good thing. Enjoy! Breakfast Organic “Stylez”I have a lot of idiosyncrasies. I hate wearing wet socks. I hate pineapple in a ‘curry’. I never wear polka dots. There[...]
