Cheap Eats

I may try and sound all fancy schmancy by eating out at nice restaurants, and cooking decadent food but everyone who knows me knows that I am a Torana short of being a bogan. The bogan inside me often likes to venture out so here’s a selection of my favourite cheap eats:

Brisbane City
AJ Vietnamese Noodle House. Great, cheap Vietnamese food. I recommend the spring rolls, pork and prawn rolls, and any of the noodle salads, and the won ton soup. Location 70 Charlotte Street, Brisbane.

Auchenflower
My Thai. I love this place and would have to be one of my favourite Brisbane restaurants. The food is to die for! I recommend the spring rolls and thai fish cakes for entree. For mains I recommend the Thai Green Curry, Massaman Beef, Pad Thai and the Thai Beef Basil stir fry. For dessert, you can't go past the black sticky rice. They also hold cooking classess which I highly recommend (I've been to 2). Location 115 Haig Road, Auchenflower.

Corinda (it’s my home suburb so I’m a little Corinda biased)
Lucky Corner Chinese Restaurant: good reliable chinese foods. Awesome steamed dim sims. I love the chicken cashew and the chicken chow mein. Location Shop 1/660 Oxley Road, Corinda.
Singh’s Indian Restaurant: this is a family run restaurant so the staff are really welcoming and friendly (they even come out and say hello to Colin when we pick up our take away). I recommend the Palak chicken, and the butter chicken. I love the Location 5/670 Oxley Road, Corinda.

Oxley
Pellegrini Italian Restaurant: this recommendation is actually courtesy of my mates Tan and Dan who only recently told us about this place. We tested it for the first time last Friday night and we weren’t disappointed. The pasta is so tasty. Mark had the lasagne and I had the Penne Arabiata which was beautiful. Really authentic Italian food. Location Shop 4, 113 Station Road, Oxley.

Taringa
Dos Amigos: tasty mexican food! Again my mates Tan and Dan told us about this place. Great tacos and enchiladas and cheap Coronas! Location 185 Moggill Road, Taringa, QLD 4068.

Clayfield
Sultans Kitchen: when Mark and I lived at Teneriffe, Sultans Kitchen was a favourite. They have the greatest Chicken Tikka Masala EVER and I still day dream about the meat samosas. Oh Sultan man, will you move to Corinda for me? Location: 689 Sandgate Road, Clayfield.
