Food in Brisbane, Hong Kong style

It dawned on me that I had a lot to say about eating out in Bangalore, but have not been sharing my Australian culinary experiences. This weekend we were treated to good food Hong Kong style at The Manor Chinese Restaurant (The Glen Shopping Village, 6 Angel Street, Corner Gaskell Street & Angel Street, Eight Mile Plains, 4113 – [07] 3341 9506 ).

We were very impressed by the 3 course Peking Duck option. The “wrap your own” starter we had not enjoyed since living in the UK a few years back, and boy had we missed it.  I will also recommend the spicy jelly fish which until now I had only tried Vietnamese style. If you are from Brisbane, I believe the place is owned by the same people who run Cafe Mi in Sunnybank.

Ok, my tummy feels good, earlier my taste buds were even happier. Hope you enjoy :-)

Actually, I must say as this sort of thing has been bugging me, though I can find them on-line (sort of) by entries in local directories, they like many other places are just not represented on the web! I can’t believe that businesses are not taking advantage of the fact that a lot of well healed customers like to check out a restaurant on-line. Yes, a picture of the place (it looked very nice), a menu (both for seated and takeaway) and of course some pictures of the best dishes! Australia, or should I say Brisbane, seems to be a backwater when it comes to business on the web! Are the web companies offering such poor service or do the businesses not see the value? I’d really like to know the answer!
