the Gunshop Cafe



Gunshop cafe is the new favourite for brunch on weekends. It is a very cosy cafe that served nice breakfast and coffee in West End . The menu there change according to seasons so you can always try different stuffs there.
I ordered the salmon and egg with corn toast which Tao ordered trout and egg toast. I really love my salmon and egg as it is very fresh and well flavored. The spinach is very fresh and still crispy , neutralized the taste of the scramble egg. The corn toast is quite unique too...you can feel the texture of corn within (it is a bit loose when you try to break it into pieces)... very different to the normal bread which the ingredients and flour were blended together totally....I strongly recommend to try it....
The trout Tao ordered was very nice too...yummy....but...cannot be comparable to mine....hoho

Grill'd



I am not a burger person. Not only because it is not easy to find good quality one, most of them are greasy and made of combination of meat mixture which I felt disgusting. However, I hold a different attitude to my new found favourite-Grill'd.
It is a burger restaurant that serve fresh and good quality burger at a reasonable price. The burger is made of lean meat which is full of flavoured. Even thought it is a huge burger, it is not greasy at all.
Tao ordered the Summer sunset and I ordered the Mini Moo. I guess most girls cannot finish a regular burger and Mini Moo may be a good choice for them. We also ordered the chips with sea salt and rosemary on top. It is one of the best chips I had ...so yum.....

A ring for me



The YSL arty ring is one of the signature fashion pieces that I want for quite a long time. It has been sold out quickly even thought it has quite a numbers of different colours. The most favourite colour is turquoise and lapis.


I have been trying to buy one for quite a long time. I can only found it in US website at quite a high price and limited size and colour available. So, I try to find one in ebay for quite some times and luckily I am able to find one that fit my size and not overpriced. It is a great fashion item that you are not going to miss.

Scales and Ales

Garlic and Rosemary pizza bread



Scallops , pork belly, sweet chili caramel sauce



Crab spring roll



1kg mussel pots with white wine and garlic

Scales and Ales is one of the best fish and chips restaurant in Brisbane. Tao wanted to bring me there for quite a long time and we have decided to try it on Tue.


I wanna try some nice seafood for quite a long time and this restaurant did not disappoint me.

We did not wanna order chips because we want to try more varieties.


We order the pizza bread as starter, two entrees and 1 kg mussels. The pizza bread is so crispy and smelt very nice. I seldom eat more than two pieces of bread at night and I broke routine...hehe.....


I must recommend the scallop and pork belly. It is so yummy and soft. It is a nice combination for the pork belly and the caramel sauces. It is one of the best I have ever try and it is a must try dish for this restaurant. The crab spring roll is quite ordinary and I guess I will try something else.


We have mussels as main and it is cooked nicely. The mussels is well favoured ...yum...yum....and it is the special on Tue so it cost 15 instead of 25...what a good bargain. We did have a great dinner and I guess I will for sure to try again in the near future..
