Thankfully a quick look at the dishes being bought out and hearing owners amazing ocker accent had us all clambering to our seats in no time. This place had the most amazing Indo-Malay food around. I really recommend trying the heavenly vegetarian laksa, steamed dim-sims or the delectable ikan kari (Fish curry) ( also REALLY specify if you can not handle your chilli, as the dishes here can get spicy for wet blankets like me.) Friendly, relaxed atmosphere, incredibly good service AND a kick ass keyboardist playing star wars. Makanan is a definite must-do in Brisbane.

For a most devout lover of Indonesian cuisine to suddenly, at the age of 25, become allergic to…read moreseafood, is a sure sign from the gods that I've committed some unforgivable cosmic crime. I didn't take news of my new culinary limitations too kindly. I refused to accept that I couldn't eat Indonesian anymore. I mustered up the courage to go to my local Indonesian haunt, Makanan Indonesia, and be a total pain in the arse and ask annoying questions about ingredients and such. When I got there, the lady at the counter had her head down playing a game on her phone. Despite my efforts to grab her attention, she just ignored me. Just as I went to leave she jumped back, with heart on her chest, and put her hand out to my arm to stop me. Through a laughing mouth she explained that she just wasn't with it that day. I'd like to disagree. Despite this initial stumble, this lady turned out to be one of the most helpful people I've met in a hospitality setting to this day. I explained my sea-tardation, and asked her if she could point out foods that wouldn't render me ill. There was a lot of umm-ing and ahh-ing, laughing, and then a "I'll be back". She took a menu and went to talk to one of the chefs. It came back with three options. She'd crossed out Beef Rendang (even though I can usually eat it) because she didn't know who'd made the batch for that night, and she didn't want to take chances. I appreciated her caution. I casually asked her if I could go to Indonesia and not risk my life by the simple act of eating. "No." She then asked me specific questions about my allergy and wrote in Bahasa Indonesian something that essentially read "I cannot eat any seafood at all. No fish sauce and no shrimp sauce please". She gave this to me and hoped it would help keep me out of trouble if ever I decided to go there. I can't really put a price on the warmth of the service the lady gave me that night. The food is delicious and well priced. I'd suggest dining in too. The place has something of an odd eighties, kooky, tropical paradise vibe, and there's a man who plays songs on his old school casio keyboard while you feast.

I hadn't had real Chinese food for a while, and so we decided on Kingsfood - actually for the…read morereason that it had a big, bright neon sign advertising Taiwanese cuisine. I had a pearl milk tea at the place before, which was decent, and so I hoped the food was just the same. We decided to go 'family style' and order four dishes and a soup, a very typical ordering style, which is actually pretty perfect for five people. We got the sweet and sour soup), string beans with minced meat (), fried tofu (), Taiwanese pan fried noodles (), and Three-Cup Chicken (). The fried tofu and the soup were made pretty well and close to what I can find in Taiwan, but the noodles and string beans were just ok, with the three-cup chicken being my least favorite. It didn't have much of a sesame oil flavor, which is integral to the course, and the chicken was also breaded by something - which isn't usually done traditionally. Their drinks are not bad, and I would recommend it over Sakuraya's pearl tea drinks. The food was plenty for five, and came out to 11.5 per person, which isn't bad for how much food we got. It wasn't purely authentic, but it was decent for Brisbane, and if I lived any closer - I would probably return.

I had the Singapore Fried Vermicelli. First off, TOO greasy. When it says that it has pork and prawns. I would say that it has tiny pieces of pork tossed into the vermicelli. It didn't have the nicest flavor and I just couldn't believe how greasy my thin vermicelli noodles were. My friend liked his curry chicken with rice. My other friend ordered the laksa and I will tell you that you'll find incredible laksa in Sunnybank. The noodles were OK but the soup base was just not as spicy and full of flavor. I found it all pretty bland. The eggplant was tough as well. The pearls that came with the bubble tea were sticking together which is never a good sign. I was not particularly impressed and this place is definitely not on my top 30 of places to eat or recommend in Brisbane.

I was in Brisbane for work (my last days of work at Accenture, in fact!) for three nights, and…read morespent two of those dinners at Little Singapore after this place was suggested to me by a friend. The two dishes ordered were the Butter Herbed Chicken with Rice and Hainanese Chicken with Buttered Rice. The first thing I'd like to say is that the servings were very generous. Having walked into the restaurant starving, in the mood for celebration after getting made redundant, I managed to fill myself with a single serving and then some. I was stuffed for both meals. The butter herbed chicken was very buttery, and with a strong hint of coconut. Can't exactly be sure what herbs were used, but I did like the aroma of whatever they used. The chicken was nicely fried, not too dry. Better than I expected. I've never eaten any similar dishes so there's not much for me to compare. As for the chicken rice... ok in my humble opinion, I know a thing or two about chicken rice, so let's break it down: 1. Chicken: The chicken is steamed, and quite tender and juicy. TIck. 2. Rice: made with chicken juices. Tick. 3. Sauces: lacking thick dark soy sauce. Buzz. 4. Pickled veggies: Not sure why they were there, apart from filling an empty slot in the multi-sectioned serving dish. Buzz. 5. Fresh veggies: bean sprouts, not a big deal I suppose, but most places use choy sum. Meh. 6. Soup: At least it looks like it's soup made from whole food ingredients, not chicken powder soup like at some places. Tick. I thought the service was fine - got served quickly enough and food came quickly enough. A nice eatery and a good option for that part of town, particularly since the Asian options in Brisbane City aren't exactly good.

The food was just as delicious as I remembered, the staff just as friendly and the experience just as pleasant. We always begin any Thai meal with money bags; chicken mince marinated in deliciousness, wrapped up in a sheet of pastry and deep fried until crispy - yum. Following that we ordered a couple of different curries and the special omelette. The curries were absolutely swimming in sauce, something I enjoy immensely, but I know some people do not. The location doesn't offer the most serene view, but inside the atmosphere is relaxed and the restaurant is full of the conversational hum of happy customers enjoying their food. They also do takeaway.

Overall, I left the place satisfied with my meal but I do not have the urge to come back here any time soon. I remember not being very hungry the night I came here, therefore I asked the waitress if it would be possible to have a soup that was only offered as an entree, as a main meal. She was very polite and informed me that would not be a problem. From memory, this is a moderately priced Thai restaurant, the prices reflect what I can only imagine would be expensive rent in the trendy suburb of New Farm. My soup was pleasant, the flavours were there but there was nothing that made it stand out. I tried a few of my friends' dishes and felt the same way about their meals to. It was not the sort of restaurant that you could not stop thinking about the next day because of how amazing it was. There are so many Thai restaurant nowadays it is hard to keep up with all of them. To be Thai is a descent Thai restaurant but I can not say it is the best one I have tried.

Well, I couldn't walk out at that point when the cute Asian man holding a wok greeted me. I was pretty surprised at the large menu on the board, a little bit more surprised at the prices ($10-14 for meals.) oh well, I decided. I was at the point of hangryness and a teriyaki meal sounded perfect. I had a hard decision between the Teriyaki chicken and the pad Thai but I decided to really broaden my horizons and go with the teriyaki ;) Mind you, I was the only person in here. The old man was the only cook. I was cool with that. The man didn't speak English very well but was very pleasant. He put up a "5" with his hands! Awesome! only 5 more minutes of hangryness. I watched as all the fresh veggies, noodles, and chicken were cooked in the wok. It smelled delicious. 5 minutes was pretty accurate. I walked out paying $18, $13 for the meal (large) and a drink. The large box was actually too much, I stuffed my face and still had leftovers. The taste was alright, the chicken was a little bit dry but still edible. Then again, I wasn't in a very picky mood. Because this place is right up the road from my work, I'll definitely come back on another lunch break and give some other items a try!
