If someone told me I'd be dining in a carpark under an overhead rail bridge, with food served from a shipping container, I'd tell them they were crazy! So it feels kind of weird that, not only did I end up eating at the above-described place, but that I actually went back for more! Confession - I've now eaten there twice in the last week! And with good reason. This quirky little Vietnamese eatery totally rocks!!! The Location Tucked away in Fish Lane, we only stumbled across this small ... continue reading...

Happy Boy Chinese Restaurant – Fortitude Valley
