I was brought up on Kantong. Every family has their own little rituals, and well, whenever I go to…read moremy folks for dinner, we always get Kantong, put on a cheesy action movie and have a Chinese feast carpet picnic in the lounge room. Kantong is a stalwart of the Everton Shopping Village. Other shops come and go, but I'm fairly sure Kantong will always be there. It is, by far, the best Chinese place in this particular northern pocket. Highlights on the menu include the curry puffs ($5.50) which are always crispy, and make the most satisfying CRUNCH noise when you bite into them. I always opt for the Beef and Black Bean ($10.00), and occasionally I'll splash out and get the sweet and sour pork ($10.00). Also, I don't know what it is about their fried rice ($5.90), but I could eat buckets of it in one sitting. For you seafood fiends out there, you'll be happy to know they have a wide range of fantastic seafood options. Hell, there's five different options for scallops alone! If you call ahead, they're good at giving you a good approximate time to come and pick it up. If you eat in, enjoy the humble and relaxed setting. I reckon almost everyone living in this pocket of the northern suburbs would have Kantong on auto dial. Best part? When we call, they know us by the sound of our voice. There's nothing like being able to say 'the usual'. Yes!

I've only ordered from this place once and I wasn't disappointed at all. Over the phone the lady…read morewas really polite. She made me feel like I was the most important customer she had. When I drove over and picked up my food she kept the same attitude, that was reassuring that she cared about her customers. There's not much I can add to what's already been stated. However I will say that if you order from Kan Tong I recommend that on the appetiser side you go with the beef satays skewars. They're always tender and the sauce is one of the best I have ever had in Brisbane. On the Mains, I can never go past the chicken in black pepper sauce. The spice is just the right amount and the sauce is nice and thick coating all the meat and vegetables. Do yourself a favour and hit them up.

I tried the Nasi Goreng which was flavoursome with pork and a bit of spice. However, I also tried the Mongolian Beef Noodles and Teriyaki Chicken Noodles and I was left feeling underwhelmed. The sauces are rich, if not a tad too salty but with the vegetables consisting of a lot of cabbage and a few beans I felt this wouldn't be my go-to place for noodle dishes. In saying that, the service was fast for a Friday night and for about $12 for a large bowl that could feed two people, I am willing to come back and update my review after I try other dishes such as a soup or fried dish.

A lot of the food on the menu can't be eaten by us (chilli etc) so we advised it would Just be wasted and have to be thrown out. Bad luck they said. Advertising was false. Menu was pointless.

Let me tell you buckaroo, that small Japanese lady serving can slab on a fair bit of food into the styrofoam container... so much so she doesn't even bother closing the lid. For $8.50 you get what you get. The signature beef curry was overly salty for my taste, slapping the massive salad on top of the curry which was on top of the rice next to roast potatoes, capsicum and carrot *may* have been overkill? I'm not sure i'll be back, but I can see how the university students who frequent Toowong Village would think it was value for money with such a big serving. With the likes of Hanaichi and Hakataya hanging around, these guys will have to up their game. Especially since they are located right next to a sushi/yakitory/japanese katsu serving place as well.

Brilliant, whoever came up with those names, I love it. So when I was puttling around the northside of Brisbane, didn't even know that there was a suburb called Gaythorne by the way, and when my boyfriend now husband at the time told me, I actually asked him if he was joking. True story. So being fans of the Thai cuisine, I was out to search for a mean Pad Thai, my weakness. Always with chicken. Amazing Thai sits perfectly on the corner of Samford and Gaythorne road. The owner is this cute little Thai lady who really does do everything. There are a few wait staff sometimes, but the shop isn't that big and they can get away with just 1 or 2 extras on busy nights. The Money Bags in this place was my first experience. The water chestnuts, the minced chicken meat, the crunchy fresh ingredients wow. Then we had the Pad Thai, a Green Curry with Chicken and a Beef Stirfry. There is a difference between throwing things into a mess together and frying them at a high heat to throwing the ingredients at the right times to make the perfect flavour and combination. Amazing Thai do serve amazing food. The food tastes fresh, tastes quality and tastes like Thailand. You can usually get a table here, but on a busy night, try making a booking first as the restaurant only seats a small amount of people. True to their name, gold star all the way.

According to the menu - John Farnham has been here and recommends the quail! Although I have never…read moreseen John here (damn) I did take his advice and order the quail - which if you are patient enough to pick through the tiny little bones - is pretty tasty. I do not usually go to Aspley Oriental for the dinner menu however - I go for Yum Cha! Yummm cha!! The lovely little dumplings and mango pancakes that come rolling past on cute little trolleys send my tastebuds into a frenzy! I love the prawn gow gees, the pork and peanut dumplings and the vegetarian spring rolls. On the downside, the manager sits Westerners and Chinese in different areas and the Chinese area gets priority, sometimes all the good things are gone or cold which is quite annoying. Aspley Oriental is probably the most expensive Yum Cha restaurant I have been too which is also a bit of a bummer. It is best to go on the weekends as there is much more variety, you do have to wait outside for a while though unfortunately. The food is good though, and worth the wait.
