Australians inherited fromEngland a key feature in addition to humor: the terrible cuisine. They have no real culture, and it will be that we are accustomed to grandma who cooks lasagna and cannelloni for us, but here we go too far! On the other hand, the traveler's life is to get used to and live the country's habits at best, possibly avoiding getting a liver huge!
Brisbane, like all of Australia, is inhabited by Asian. You cannot understand its size until you see it with your own eyes, and this is due to an economic agreement between the countries. This preponderance is reflected in eating. Wherever there are Asian restaurants, in supermarkets there are entire shelves dedicated to Chinese noodles (alas, a much smaller shelf is dedicated to pasta), and shopping becomes a treasure hunt.
In addition to the advice of cooking in the hostel (the kitchens are always well equipped and in most cases clean), a good alternative is a restaurant in ChinaTown, Vietnamese Restaurant, whose average prices are $ 10 within reach, considering that they are particularly abundant and that in any case the quality is excellent. In short, a good low-cost compromise in a low-cost and very low-cost country! ;-)
Small detail: in many restaurants you will find written that they are BYO, which literally means "bring your own”, And is the equivalent of“ bring something ”when having a dinner with friends. When BYO is found in restaurants, it means that you can bring them alcoholic drinks from home (this is because very often because the license for restaurants is very expensive).
