Happy Garden: Yum Cha







We seleted four items,

Salt and Pepper Squid Tentacles - this came out first. It was very tasty and tender. A nice start to our meal


Pork and Shark Fin Dumplings - very nice texture and flavours. We have had these before.


Fresh Scallop Dumplings - my favourite. I love the scallop flavour.


Crab Meat Dumplings - my least flavour. It was mostly vegetables in a crab meat sauce


I had a glass of Riesling to wash it down and left  a very sated and happy woman. Hubby was very full and happy also.

It rained soon after we left but it was only a sun shower and quite light.

Thai Siam, Cleveland: Roast Curry Duck, Seafood with Oyster Sauce

It's Friday night date night again and a visit to our favourite, the Thai Siam.

The lovely Josh takes our order


A firm favourite Thai meal is Red Curry Duck. It is just so flavoursome and hearty. I've eaten duck so many times you think I'd be quackers! Sorry for the pun. 


Hubby chose some seafood in oyster sauce. Something he felt would be kind to his stomach. It was very nice - I had a taste. 


The lovely Anna Luan

Redlands RSL: Choc Peppermint Tim Tam cocktail and Barramundi crusted with macadamias

It's New Years Eve and we decide to catch the courtesy bus to Redlands RSL in Cleveland, QLD Australia. A live band is advertised and there is the Sails on Shore bistro to dine in. I spy a sign that says Cocktails (sorry it's so blurred in the photo).


One of the Cocktails is a Choc Peppermint Tim Tam Cocktail


I peruse the menu and choose the Barramundi crusted with macadamias. Yumm! I was so excited that I forgot to take a photo until it was half eaten - oops! The fish is well cooked and the macadamia crust is very nice. It comes with vegetables including potato and leek.

Redlands RSL: Ribs, New Orleans Cajun Seafood curry

Another Date Night, this time a Friday. We decided to go up to the RSL and listen to some live music and have a meal. It's so hard to choose from the extensive menu but this caught my eye


[ New Orleans Cajun Marinated Reef Fish, Scallops, Tender Calamari, Prawns & Mussels. . . . . . . . . Members $24.9 Non-Members $27.9 Finished with yellow curry bourbon coconut sauce ]

It was delicious and very filling. The poppadoms were crunchy and nice to dip into the curry sauce.

Hubby  chose the special - bbq ribs

Thai Siam: Steamed pacific oysters, stir fry fish with ginger, chilli and basil

A Saturday night Date Night at the Thai Siam. I'm in the mood for oysters and Thai Siam has some of the most amazing steamed pacific oysters that are twice or three times larger than normal and delicious.




Afterwards we ordered some stir fry fish with ginger, chilli and basil. Another favourite dish we order over and over again. The combination of ginger, chilli and basil with the fish is a very tasty stir fry. The fish was well cooked and the vegetables also. The coconut rice that accompanies it makes it a perfect meal.

Thai Siam: Roast Duck Salad, Soft Shell Crab

I was craving Roast Duck Salad so we headed to Thai Siam in Queen Street, Cleveland. I just love this salad. The succulent roast duck and the zingy salad dressing, It's delicious. 


 Hubby chose some fried soft shell crab but felt it was a little cold when it arrived so they heated it up for him. He said it was a little oily but he ate most of it. He's a very picky eater, not like me.

Fish On Fire: WIld Barramundi with Greek Salad and Chips

I was feeling hungry for some fresh fish and Fish On Fire sells some of the freshest fish in Cleveland, so we headed to their Middle Street store. 




After browsing their fish on display I decided to purchase the Wild Barramundi meal which includes a salad of your choice (Greek salad, seafood salad or garden salad) and some lovely crunchy chips. 


We sat in their outdoor eatery in the balmy summer warmth with a light breeze. Very nice.

Redland Bay Hotel: Seafood platter

On my birthday I was whisked to the Redland Bay Hotel in Redland Bay. I was lured with the promise of a Seafood Platter for Two and I was so excited when it arrived that I forgot to take some photos! 

A description from the Redland Bay Hotel website:

Indulge yourself with 2 fresh sand crabs, 2 Moreton bay bugs, fresh prawns, oysters kilpatrick and natural, garlic prawns & served with chips and fresh fruit.
It was delicious! I shared it with Philip, as well as some going to my Aunty Jo and Uncle Dennis. 
I took this photo as I was leaving a very full and happy birthday girl!

Sunshine on the Bay: Seafood Chowder, Barramundi and garlic prawns

A belated birthday dinner for my hubby Philip, we decided to dine at Sunshine on the Bay, in the Stockland Cleveland complex above Woolworths and other shops on Middle Street, Cleveland. .




I love this restaurant, the food and the friendly staff. We ordered a mixed dozen oysters, with four Natural, four Kilpatrick and four Tasman. They were delicious!




Unfortunately my favourite meal, Crab Mornay was not in season so I settled on Seafood Chowder, which is a favourite of mine. It was delicious, with a good amount of seafood, as well as small pieces of potato. It was creamy and went down a treat.

[ Seafood Chowder in Sour Dough Roll -  Delicious creamy San Francisco style
chowder blended with fresh prawns & tender calamari meat. Served with salad. $30 ]


Philip chose Barramundi with Garlic Prwns which came with chips and salad. The fish was well cooked and the chips are always amazing. The salad was nice, although Philip gave some of it for me to finish. I don't like to waste food. 


[ Bayside Barra - An old local favourite! A tasty collation of creamy garlic 
prawns presented over a plate seared Barramundi fillet. (GF option) SM19 LM 35 ]

Another great night at Sunshine on the Bay. Make sure you ask about the Crab Mornay. It is a foodgasm experience not to be missed!
