Leisure Vacation - Down Brisbane Queensland Australia

Taking a holiday down under, visiting the city of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia leisurely and better still drive around.

My 1st day driving around came up with few surprising spots. Never expected to find such gathering of so many Asian flavors all together in such spots.


I am not talking about China town but Sunnybank surburb and Toowong.





Sunnybank just a few kilometers down south driving along the Highway to Gold Coast, just turned off the KLump and Main inter-sections brings you to a potpourri of the Asian culture and food outlets.

SunnyBank - Here, one can find supermarkets and stores that sells you a host of things that are asian and availble back home.

One can buy a lot of ingredient to cook their home food, or better still dine in from the variety of food outlets that serve chinese, thai, vietnamese, indian, and many others

On can choose a variety of asian food to suit your appetite. The portion is hugh and cost is very reasonable.


One can find Little HongKong, one that serve good roasted meat and duck. You must try this, very big portion and reasonable price. Suggest the portion be shared by 2 person.












Yet another Little Singapore and Little who knows what!

















Just short distance outside west of Brisbane, one comes into the Toowong area where one can see again few food outlets serving asian food.


Just around the corner of the Toowong Center where one can do shopping at ease.













Wanna try some noodles done Asian styles?
















One can even get to taste Laksa from Laksa Hut
