Kathmandu Momo

If we think cuisine diversity, Nepal and its cuisine are almost as far removed from the Gold Coast as you can get. Most of us know little about Nepal, our only chance of experiencing its cuisine being Kathmandu Kitchen, Kingscliff, which has gained a strong following. So, we jump at the chance to try Nepalese...

If I remember back to my first working days, feeling hungry meant opening the fridge, tucking into leftovers or making a sandwich! Not any more! To many Gold Coasters, a meal is just a few taps away. ‘Dial in dining’ has revolutionised the way we eat, with hundreds of restaurants across the coast bringing food...

There’s nothing like the delicious aroma of roasting meat! Brazilian Flame is a tribute to all things Brazilian (well, almost)! Sporting the country’s flag in its brightly coloured tables and chairs, honouring its most famous footballer, Pele, (who the restaurant’s owner Richard had the pleasure of meeting), the ‘all-you-can-eat’ churrascaria experience Brazilian Flame is a...

There’s nothing like dinner at a little BYO. It’s as close to dining at home as you can get, but without the fuss. Of course, BYO is a contentious point around town. There are those of us who love bringing our own bottle, but of course there’s no ‘cream’ profit for restaurateurs so, when we...

A former holiday ground for the Kombumerri people, since the 1860s the Gold Coast has been a place of big personalities. They were people who boldly...

If there was a dining ‘Hall of Fame’, then Jo-Anne and Greg Short would be among the first to be inducted. It’s twenty years since the couple opened the Broadwalk Café, the forerunner of today’s iconic Sandbar. Migrating from NSW with their young family, the couple were excited to start their own new venture in...

Yamagen’s ‘Friday Lunch by Asahi’ is an introduction to delight; a finely nuanced mini-degustation of the best of the best. I’m a huge fan of the long lunch. There’s no better start to the weekend than the Friday afternoon ‘flex’. As you leave work early to slip away for a sneaky lunch, there’s a hint...

When you’re on holidays or retired, lunch can be the main meal of the day. It’s a cost-saving choice of travellers as lunch deals abound, as well as a good health move to eat lighter at night. But sometimes finding the deals is harder than it seems, especially if you’re looking online. Here are some...

I have a personal affinity for gyoza. Perhaps it’s my love of the underdog, a sentimental identification with that misshapen parcel of ugliness that hides a hidden goodness. Or maybe it’s my sympathy for the traveller in all of us, for the stereotyped migrant who’s an individual in their own right. Whatever! There’s no hiding...
