One thing about Malaysian is that, no matter where they go, they crave for their own food now and…read morethan. And when a store opens and claim to be Malaysian food, our standards are always high if they are authentic Malaysian food or not. SO, when I say TASTE OF PENANG is 100% Authentic, I mean 100%. The spicy level, the flavour, and the ingredient. I must say, the Char Kwei Tiao IS THE BEST and go for mild and maybe request for very mild if you do not take spicy at all because it is still gonna make u sweat!! And if you do take spicy, medium will be good enough. Because spicy is just too spicy, so ready yourself some tissue! The best of all is every now and than, the owner's wife will cook something off menu and for ages I have been craving for Asam Laksa and yes ASAM Laksa (sour fish based soup noodle). As we all Malaysian knows, in Brisbane you only have Curry Laksa which sometimes is just ridiculous how many thinks that that's Malaysian Laksa when is not even close, the flavour I meant. Calling to those who really want some authentic Malaysian food, Taste of Penang is where you should be!

What a great little place Shanti's is. They serve traditional Indian/ Sri Lankan dishes and the…read morefood here is amazing. The 'Butter Chicken' is done a little bit differently at this restaurant as it comes with a dollop of sour cream swirled atop the curry. Not only did it taste fantastic it looked extremely appetizing. The owner Shanti and her husband run and manage the restaurant and work on the floor waiting on customers and serving. They make a really good team as they are attentive to when customers are ready to order and they serve out the dishes quickly. The staff here dress extremely casual, which would be fine for lunch orders, however, I think for dinner they should wear a type of uniform to create a more professional appeal- Even if it was an all-black uniform. The table settings are simple here. For a small family run restaurant like this, it's not necessary for the lavish cutlery and plates. The ambience is nice, there is traditional Indo-Lankan music playing softly in the background, however, I find the menu boards on the walls are comparable to a local fish and chip shop. It doesn't work quite as effectively for this Indo-Lankan restaurant. A lovely place to dine for casual lunch or dinner, however, if you plan to dine alfresco, please note your view will be of a parking lot. I love going to this place for take-away but occasionally after shopping next door at Woolies, I come here for lunch.

Big minus - no freshly squeezed juice - although a great selection of bottled juices (around 8 different combinations), which one must select oneself from the fridge and cart to the table where a fresh glass was provided. For breakfast out, unless a buffet, I like to have everything brought to the table (as the rest of the meal was) and if there is juice in a bottle, for it to be brought with the glass and opened and poured - as you would at dinner with a bottle of wine. 2. I also prefer table service after looking at a menu, not having to grab a table and then go up to the counter and order. 3. I ordered porridge and then toast with marmalade and fruit toast - I didn't specifically emphasise the toast after the porridge, but I did say porridge and then the toast. I also asked that the coffee not be brought immediately but after the breakfast had commenced - so to have with the toast. So I thought they would understand that first the porridge and then the toast. Instead, they brought all together (except for the coffee, in keeping with my order). When the porridge and toast were brought out, I said I had expected the toast after the porridge because it would be cold by the time I got to it - there was a fairly halfhearted apology but no offer to take it back and bring out warm toast a little later - with the coffee. The porridge was delicious. The fruit toast was OK, the sourdough fine - but of course close to cold by the time I got to it. It would have been great to have a selection of marmalades and jams - instead there was only one type of jam and one type of marmalade (and vegemite, peanut butter and honey - bonus points for that as handy if there with children who may not eat jam or marmalade). 4. They came to ask if I was ready for coffee before I'd finished the porridge and I said yes - they obviously didn't hear because no coffee arrived and then when already started on the toast they did ask again and they heard me this time as the coffee then arrived speedily - so that was great. 5. My friend had the big breakfast which included home made baked beans - they turned out to be made with almost Indian style spices - that may have been referred to on the menu (which she didn't read fully), but as not a usual choice of spices to go with eggs, bacon etc, it should be highlighted on the menu. My friend said the rest of the big breakfast was lovely. Overall, somewhere I would recommend, but with a caution to be very specific re timing if ordering two different things, and to read the menu very carefully in terms of inclusions (I am assuming the menu did mention the spices, but as my friend didn't read it fully I don't know).

Awesome place! As a family, we made a reservation for the 11 of us this past Saturday night to…read morecelebrate my grandmas 80th birthday. I really loved the decor inside, everything seemed authentic and looked very well put together. We did have a large round table which really didn't give much room around us but we appreciated the fact they accommodated our large group as best as they could. My dad and I ordered the pork spring rolls to begin, they were so good! Don't know what was so good and different about them but I could've eaten lots more. We all ordered our own mains with the intention of sharing between us all. I don't remember the exact name of my dish but it was #37 which was a lamb stir fry. I didn't even want to share it was that good, cooked and seasoned to perfection. I tried a few different curries that were at the table and can't say one bad thing about any of them. Our servers were quick and polite, although not fluent in English. We brought a cake for my grandma which she didn't know about, the waitress was nice enough to keep it in the kitchen for us and brought it out with the candle lit when we asked. Overall I enjoyed this experience as a first-timer, however, the plates that were brought out with our cake were not very clean. This really upset my dad, there was rice on 97% of the dessert plates. I didn't consider it a huge deal but it was a bit odd. They do charge $6 for corkage! BYO wine only. I am looking forward to the next time I get to go here!

I've been to this restaurant about 3 times now, all for birthdays or special events with my…read moregirlfriends. We've always had to book and the centre where the actual restaurant is gets super busy at night, so it's tough to get a park. So book early... because if you don't book you just might be staring through the window or waiting a very long time. The prices here are on the expensive side with although if you have 4 or more people it's $30 for a banquet and they are very reasonable. Let's get this straight. You go to a Thai restaurant and you order the Pad Thai. The one here is magnificent. The ingredients finely chopped, good amounts of noodle and filling and the sauce compliments everything addictively, so you just want to eat more. It's probably a good thing that this dish always fills you up if you have it by itself and for $18.90 you'd really want it to. Also try the Pad Num Mun Hoi with beef (bamboo shoots, mushrooms and shallots) because it's delicately seasoned and very yummy with some coconut rice. This restaurant is pretty, it's got Thai ornaments all over the joint and the staff wear traditionaly Thai outfits to serve. It's a great taste to go on a first or second or third date.

This suburban Mediterranean style cafe was a little out of the way to get to from the south side of…read moreBrisbane, but I've travelled further in search of little gems hidden in the suburbs. Thankfully, Samarco 2 did not disappoint. Their spaghetti marinara was packed with flavour and was chock full of plump prawns and fresh mussels. The rest of the meal was equally good - especially dessert but you can't really go wrong with crème brulee. My only concern is that it's very expensive for a suburban Italian cafe - entrees and salads are around $15 -$20 and the mains range from $20- $35. For those prices, I would probably prefer to go into the city where I could get equally excellent food at a nicer venue.

We happened to be driving around Midde Park to put flyers for our business up (turns out, there are…read moreno places with billboards anymore), and noticed this new swanky shopping centre which used to be the daggy middle park shopping centre. Where on earth did this pop up from... and we live around this area. It seems a little out of place considering the surrounds and the general middle park area. Samarco 2 stood out like a sore thumb on the corner outside of the main shopping centre itself. So we thought it's hot, let's sit down in this nice looking alfresco restaurant. Don't know if it was because it was in the middle of the day, or they were a waiter short... not only were we shocked at menu prices for the location, but the place was a bit posh looking we chickened out and didn't just walk away. Big mistake. We waited to be served, I had to get up to ask if there was table service or not, then our food took forever to come out... but when it eventually did, it was very yummy. I ordered the Mexican Beef Salad (wasn't this an Italian Restaurant?) and noticed there were Szechwan Duck Spring Rolls and Nasi Goreng on there as well.... wasn't it spelt Szechuan? What are they doing putting asian food on the menu with italian pastas... oh no not again with the fusion. So the food was nice, but very expensive and they confuse me with their menu a little, mixing the original italian cuisine with a hodge podge of others I find... somehow cheapens the posh looking place... also they should spell check the menu. Try it out, but it's a little weird.

Since I JUST moved to Brisbane, I had to rely on my fellow Yelpers. Thank you Yelpers for being there for me. I was also reassured when I walked in and it was ONLY Korean people customers. They only brought out 3 tiny dishes of sweet potato, pasta, and kimchi. I am used to a more varied selection of at least 6-8 mini dishes to start the meal off. The kimchi was fantastic though! I will give them that. I don't know if that's how they do here in Australia or just at this particular restaurant. Our meals came out in an appropriate amount of time. I ordered the Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap and it was pretty tasty. Not the best I have ever had but filled the craving. We also had the No. 22 with chicken and rice and spicy seafood soup. The ladies are now fans of Korean food! :) The water they served us was really nice and ice cold. The service will come to you if you need them but they won't really bother you. When you're ready to go, you just come to the counter and pay there. After going to eat here, my roommate and I discussed Korean food. She is a big fan and said that this is one of the top two places so yeah! Thanks Yelpers for making my first Korean experience in Australia a yelp worthy one.
