This is a great spot to satiate those with around the clock bothersome munchies for tacos, enchiladas, omelets, steak, or horchata this establishment is 24/7.  They're a lil pricey but give them a break. Again, 24/7.  =)

The help at this restaurant is over the top great.  Within the first 5 minutes of getting acquainted with what they had available, the man behind the counter began offering suggestions based on what he noticed me check out.

If you have a penchant for Indian food but would rather make your own at home, this is the spot to visit for all that you will need for your dishes.

To sum it all up, they have good hours, amazing service, a variety of delectable offerings, and great prices.  I believe they've found themselves a new regular customer in me.  =)

We just ordered a pizza (Pizza a la Toto's No. 5 Salami, sausage, bell peppers/onions and olives} and we are sooo all over this right now.  It's ridiculously great and we don't expect it to last much longer (2 slices left!).

Lasagne +++

Langkawi Malaysian Cuisine

This is a definite favorite of mine, my friends, and their office colleagues.

#10 is great.  I never knew the name because someone has always ordered it for me.

The service is friendly and fast. Their appetizer roti is amazing and there's a very good chance you might just fill up on that.  make sure when you order the appetizer roti, order it as 'thick'.  the thin one crumbles apart so easily and makes it difficult to use with the dip.  :o

When you ask for extra hot... you might want to try out their normal hot to start off with.  Their food can be set for your tongue burn of choice if you're like my friends and are shooting for spontaneous combustion.  :)

Rickshaw Chinese Restaurant  

Category: Chinese

I've uploaded a couple pics of the food from this place but I have to say... it is disgusting.  $4.20 for a rice plate for rice, 1 heat lamp warmed entree (one can only guess how long the food has been laying there), pot stickers or egg rolls, and a cup of soup.

The lady at the counter was very courteous; but, that still does not make up for the food that I'm pretty sure my dog would snub her nose at.  The potstickers taste like potstickers, there was nothing wrong with those things.

All I can say is that I want my $4.20 and my time back.  If this was my first experience with Chinese food, I would avoid the stuff like the plague for the rest of my life.

Note:  The good news is that, you can't over eat here.

This branch of PAMF is always accommodating and cheerful.  The doctors really do listen to you here and in my case since my nerves are shot and I don't feel pain too often, they know to pay attention when I voice my concerns.

They are quick.  I can visit my PCP, come out and get labs and x-rays done right after my doctor's appointment in the same building.  :)

There's are lots of available spots in the parking lot and there's an elevator to the 2nd floor where the facilities are located.  This spot is fully handicap / wheelchair accessible.

La Tre Vietnamese Cuisine & Catering

I thought my friend was joking when he said there was a good Asian restaurant in Brisbane.  I mean, where can it be?  In between the various business parks, hiding?  Well, he was right.  Brisbane actually has more than homes and offices.  They have Le Tre.  :)

Le Tre is a place to go for one on one lunches or even group meals.  The service is great, the Pho is awesome and their portions are a good size.  Then again, I have a tiny appetite even with my most favorite of foods.

My favorites are the Pho, Spring roll, and Vegetable noodles.

I don't know about crowded, I guess I keep on missing the lunch time rush?

This spot is awesome!  I'm in the city real late during the week and it's always nice to find a pearl like this.  They have some great, affordable food.

I had the:

# Honeydew & Coconut drink mix  +++
# Tofu, Shrimp, and Rice  +++++
# Kung-pao Scallops  +++++

I would give them 5 stars but the service was a bit slow.  It took forever for our check and the to-go box to get to us.

Parking wasn't much of a problem at 10:30pm.

Kuya's Asian Cuisine

I've given them a 4 star but their halo-halo is a definite 5 star.

This place is where i run to when i'm missing my mom's cooking and when i'm craving a seriously delicious dessert.

Things I always order are the sisig, crab torta / omelette, buko (coconut) juice, and a halo-halo to end the night.  They have ube ice cream that you can have on it's own or you can ask for it on top of your halo-halo. YUMMMY!

The veggie lumpia order is enough for a party of four and is different with its corn and peas insides.  Tasty with or without the vinegar.

Service is nice, accommodating, and very helpful with the orders.  I do plan on taking friends here, so far it has only been me and the family.

Available parking can sometimes be hard to come by.

Tastebuds

4 star rating

This establishment got me remembering how much I loved Mom's Filipino cooking.  The inside serving area is clean, pretty, and date worthy.  The parking is to the side of the building... you don't need to scrounge around for street spots.

It has been so long and people get so distracted with Goldilock's and Jollibee's that they forget Goldilocks is a bakery and Jollibee's is the Filipino Micky D's.

Tastebuds has an a fresh and tasty chicharon appetizer.  Their eggplant torta relleno is one to be remembered and the beefstik is just like the stuff mom made, mmmmm.  The serving staff was very attentive to our needs and the refilling of our water (A+).

All of that and I got to enjoy a good amount of buko juice along with it.  For the dessert, I ordered ube ice cream (one scoop was good enough... they have a huge scoop).

I will definitely be coming back here and next time, I'll take some good pictures to add to their page.
