I tried their 56% iced chocolate drink at 156 Adelaide St., which was fantastic. Would definitely stop by for a chocolate drink any time I am back in Brisbane. Highly, highly recommend. I bought chocolates at 156 first. Everything I saw was $6 for 100 grams, but I didn't know what 100 grams of chocolate looks like (darn Imperial system) so I ended up getting a pre-packaged and wrapped pack of 4 random goods for $30. Mixed bag whether it's worth it or not. Buying the 4 packs separately would have been cheaper, but the milk chocolate-covered strawberries in the gift set weren't in stock individually at the 144 store.

Formally known as the scary sounding "Flaschengeist",…read more Liqurious has transformed itself into a great speciality gift store. Known for it's intriguing combinations, This store offers amazing Liqueurs, spirits, fortified wines, oils and vinegars for you to fill up and take home in whatever size bottle you need. I remember being stumped for good gift idea's for my manly man friend, but after talking to the friendly sales staff I got to take home white port in a bottle that had a GLASS SHIP IN IT. (Needless to say it's so boss it still resides on the kitchen counter.) With liqueurs ranging from mango melon, pineapple, rose, limoncello, cognac and walnut, AND melon (as well as a yummy chocolate vodka.) This place definitely has you spoiled for choice. Now is the season for yuletide giving and If you're stumped for a unique gift idea this place is great alternative to that giftcard you were guiltily thinking of buying.

And oh, what a place full of delightful, alcoholic things! But first there's the amazing oils (I don't cook, but even I was impressed). I totes wanted the Mandarin Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil to dress some of my Christmas Day salads with. Or perhaps even the Raspberry Caramelised Balsamic Vinegar to dip breads in? Then I realised that I was loitering right beside a huge bottle of chocolate Port. Yes, you read that right. It's Port and it's chocolate flavoured. You can even soak strawbs in it. Then there were the other amazing liquers, just ripe for adding into cocktails: watermelon, rose, mango, macadamia nut). I underestimated you, Liqurious. Respect.

Wow! Hard to believe Pho Hung Vuong has been open 12 months. Because we drive up and down Given…read moreTerrace in Paddington regularly and only spotted it by chance the other day when passing through. And we're so glad we did. We've tried our share of other Vietnamese restaurants beyond our two favourites - Ca Phe Nam in West End and Pho An at Inala - and they always disappoint. Our favourites set the benchmark for taste, outstanding quality and value. And we now welcome Pho Hung Vuong to the favourites family. Two Phos, a Rare Beef ($20) and a Special Pho ($25), were superb with a boastful broth, fresh rice noodles and inspiring ingredients. The condiments too were generous, just the way we like and expect them, with plenty of bean sprouts, basil, chili paste and fresh red chilis, lime wedges and hoisin sauce. We made quick work of both phos and commented on how much we enjoyed them on the way to emptying our bowls. Sometimes spotting something by chance results in a welcome opportunity to experience something new. And, in this case, utterly delicious and beyond expectations. We'll be back, Pho sure!

Mick's Nuts. A West End institution. I mean, lots of the things you can get at Mick's Nuts you can…read moreget anywhere but you just don't want to. It would mean missing out on cramming into a tiny space and making yourself as inobtrusive and as small as you can be while the staff dance and weave around you getting orders. It would mean you'd have to get things for yourself, rather than have the ever lovely experience of someone coming up to you and asking for your order, then finding and perfectly measuring out your desired quantities and returning them to you without you having to move an inch if you don't want to. It would mean you probably wouldn't casually peruse the ceiling high shelves of goods they have to sell. From end to end on each and every shelf are big, clear bags and jars of bulk goods, all there for you to explore. Whereas sometimes in a supermarket, variety can be too much, in Mick's Nuts, the variety is liberating. At Coles, you will agonise over whether to buy the homebrand diced tomatoes for 92c or to buy another commercial brand of diced tomatoes for $2.95. At Mick's Nuts, you will get excited over seemingly endless possibilities of flours, or dried fruits, and having the option to choose between commercial, local and organic. Dried organic mangos, anyone? The service is always kind and lovely, and even if it takes some time to get everything on your shopping list, it is absolutely worth the wait. You don't get service like this anywhere anymore. It's as rustic and as special an experience as having the gas boy come up to the window of your car and asking how much gas you'd like, maam. Do it. Transport yourself back to a slower, more patient, and easier time. Go to Mick's Nut Shop today.

Absolutely LOVED this place…read more It changed hands & it was my first visit back since the new owners took over. Wasn't too happy when the new owner was closing & I asked if I could get some items. He obliged, but his attitude left ALOT to be desired. I know how much I spend here - even if it's only when I visit Brisbane - which may be less than once a year. Great that they accept credit cards now & can order online. But due to the initial exchange, it's definitely off my list of must do's whilst in Brisbane.

I wish I had the gumption to boycott Chocolate Boulevard. Their prices are steep, they package…read morelollies they would buy by the bucket into large packs so you can only buy heaps and thus pay even more (and this also sucks for calorie counters). But let's face it, price and quantity are never going to manage to deter me from my getting my sweet fix. What comes close, though, is the service. The staff here can be really, really rude. It always seems so strange, too; aren't candy store owners meant to be jolly or cheerful or something? Have I watched too much Willy Wonka? Who can make the sunrise, sprinkle it with dew, cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two? The candy man can! But not here. The staff tend to watch you like hawks, sigh with the hardship of having to serve you, and rarely offer any attempt at pleasantries. Why, then, you may wonder do I still go to Chocolate Boulevard (a lot)? Because they have a really awesome selection of imported lollies (especially the best kind: American), as well as seasonal treats, a good range of pick'n'mix jelly bellies, and shelf upon shelf of lollies that you don't see anywhere else. Being a slave to my addiction, I'll brave the wrath of the staff and the inflated prices and consider them merely part of ongoing my quest for lollies. If you know what you're in for and consider it worth braving prices and attitude for lollies (like I do) then you'll be fine, just don't expect a smile. Or oompa loompas, because apparently they're not real.

Everything is available at this small sweet station, from delicious chilli chocolate to candies from around the world (The american section is pretty boss.)
