Eating in Brisbane - BrisAsia Festival


After looking for somewhere to eat lunch in Brisbane CBD at the strange time of 3:30, we came across the BrisAsia festival outside the Treasury Casino. 

The square was filled with different Asian stalls of exotic foods.
Difficult choices if you love Asian food. Who would have imagined ten years ago that I would be able to have a choice of Japanese food on the streets of Brisbane? Ironically, Japanese food was not what I was looking for. I still find it hard to find food that matches the technique and flavour of food from Japan, even street food. So I endeavour to find someone new. 

I decided to try the Treasury Casino's Vietnamese stall with a selection of Luke Nguyen's dishes. 
Spicy pork noodles. $10.
This hit the spot. It wasn't too spicy, but spicy enough to make my nose run! The flavours were delicious, the soup rich and deep, the meat tender and more-ish. 
Another winner was the corn fritters $2 from an Indonesian stall.

Packed with corn in a delicate batter - divine. Yes, I had two. 
To balance the heat of the noodles, a fresh coconut drink always cools you down.
For dessert, you must try the coconut icecream from Thai Garti. 

This one came with sticky rice and mango. $5. Perfect!

The festival is open until 9 pm tonight and runs for a month around Brisbane. 
I'm coming back for more......

Asahi Beer :)
