Another weekend, another food festival in Brisbane. I'm loving it! And so is my cousin Tehana, my favourite festival partner in crime. We've started planning our months around food, fashion and furniture festivals.
This weekend was the Regional Flavours Festival at South Bank. Clappy hands already to the organisers for spelling "Flavours" the correct AUSTRALIAN way, not the American way. (Sorry US of A, but that "u" is very important to us spelling nuts).
So, gourmet goodies from producers in regional areas. Fabulous! This meant cheeses from the Sunshine Coast hinterland, wines from the Granite Belt and chocolate from the Lockyer Valley. Samples galore! Heaven! I don't know how many chutneys, chocolates, crackers, breads and jams we sampled, but there were loads and it was fabulous!
After we'd sampled everything and stuff ourselves...well, it was time for lunch. We went to Ginga, a cute Japanese Restaurant in Little Stanley Street.
I had the Vegetarian Bento Box. For $19 it was awesome value and to be honest, we probably could have shared it. Tehana had an insanely huge bowl of soba noodles and neither of us finished our dishes.
It's bizarre how often the number 18 pops up in my life. I was born on the 18th. My Mum was born on the 18th. We used to live at number 18 and my room number at college was...18. Today, we sat at Table 18. Awwww.
