A Few Bites Inwards Brisbane

November 27-30, 2018


I've been dorsum inwards my dwelling menage town of Brisbane! It's straight off to a greater extent than than 12 years since I've lived there, in addition to the Bowen Hills neighbourhood where I was based is unrecognisable. Thankfully Susan of Kittens Gone Lentil is withal posting regular updates of vegan eats or in addition to hence town, in addition to almost of my choices were inspired yesteryear her online recommendations.

First up, I stopped inwards at Netherworld. It withal has the architectural bones of the pub I've e'er known inwards this topographic point but it's been transformed into a low-lit, loud-music pub total of arcade games. The American diner-inspired bill of fare has a vegan baseline, amongst options to add together dairy in addition to cheese on many dishes. I ordered a nice, house-made lemon soda in addition to decided to banking concern jibe out their classic vegan cheeseburger, called the Burgatory ($14), amongst a side of shoestring fries ($3). This was a solid, salty mock-meat burger, assist towards the mushy-messy, in addition to I liked the onion rings they snuck inside. The fries were pretty skillful too!

I got the give-and-take on I Like Ramen from a sharp-eyed vegan colleague. This restaurant has been opened upward inwards Brisbane solely a picayune over a calendar month in addition to is completely 'plant-based'. I was picturing a small-scale counter amongst but a few stools to perch on, but genuinely this is some other sprawling pub-like environment. I boldly eschewed the ramen bowls in addition to tried some to a greater extent than bunly food. First, a holy 'duck' bao ($8) amongst fantabulous crispy edged mock-duck in addition to saucy 'slaw, but non all the subtlety of plum, mint, chilli in addition to pomegranate that I was promised. 

I was nervous that the panko mushroom po' man child ($13) smelled in addition to hence strongly of seaweed, but the flavours in addition to textures inwards this curlicue were genuinely good balanced: the mushrooms were juicy but non likewise drippy, amongst thick crunchy panko crumbs, nestled inwards amongst to a greater extent than slaw. I had no regrets, fifty-fifty though I knew I had no room to seek Doughlord downwards the street.

My trip to nod to nostalgia on my solar daytime off. I loved the vegetarian roasted duck noodle ($11.80): the mock meat was thick in addition to fatty, the noodles had a black sesame fossil oil flavour, in addition to the greens were sauteed inwards a sweetness in addition to salty soy sauce. My pineapple light-green tea ($3.70) amongst lychee jelly ($0.50) was indistinguishable from whatsoever other bubble tea I've ever ordered hither - sweetness in addition to fun, but non flavoured amongst whatsoever precision.

I took myself out on a engagement on Fri night, picking out the vegan Greenhouse Canteen for dinner. It's got a light, instagram-wellness vibe, in addition to friendly staff that were happy to squelch inwards an early on tabular array for one. I was #blessed amongst a pick of house-made sodas over again (not but kombucha!), in addition to genuinely liked the strawberry in addition to balsamic 1 ($9). The zucchini blossom stuffed amongst almond fetta ($8) was also a stunner, assault a pillow of broccoli puree amongst a refreshing garnish of cucumber in addition to pickled onion. The cauliflower wings ($14) were less impressive, lacking crispiness in addition to spiciness.

I rounded out the nighttime amongst a Malt Brownie scoop ($5.30) at in any city I run across it. This especial edition flavor was everything I hoped for, tasting unmistakably of malted milk powder, amongst a distich big cubes of soft brownie stirred in.

On this visit, I genuinely felt the fourth dimension in addition to distance betwixt me in addition to this sunny city... but this wasn't lamentable at all! Rather, I enjoyed the changes I observed, getting to know what Brisbane has grown to hold out instead of looking for what I knew it 1 time was.
