Next Door Kitchen & Bar | Shop B11 Little Stanley Street, SOUTH BANK QLD 4101
You
know, when you are with a man who treats you like a princess and
takes you all over the world to travel and dine, it's very easy to
lose yourself from reality and lat times I feel like I am living a
life inside a bubble. You forget that, well, things actually cost
money.
To
show my appreciation, I made a reservation at Next Door Kitchen &
Bar and took the other travel bunnie there for dinner last Friday. I
had been wanting to go there for a while. Located next door to the
ever so popular Ole, this casual dinning restaurant is always packed
with people every time I walk past it.
Its
menu is exactly like its ambience, light and pleasurable, suitable to
be enjoyed with good company.
We
ordered a few of their popular dishes, including gangster chicken
wings ($9 for 8 pieces) and flash fried school prawns, smoked
paprika salt ($14.50) with
aïoli on the side. Both the dishes tasted fantastic. If the gangster
chicken wings were spicier, it would've been a perfect dish. The
prawns on the other hand, were irresistibly addictive, I could hardly
keep my hands off them. Altogether, we shared four plates before we
had their dessert special of the night, a trifle of chocolate, fresh
cream and cherry jelly, which tasted divine, but the chef missed a
pit in one of the cherries and it could've ended in disaster.
Whether
you're a regular drinker or a cheap drunk like me, I'm sure you will
take fancy of the bar menu at this joint, especially its unique and
appealing cocktails. I had a Girl Next Door, I found the watermelon
juice refreshing and it was a good drink to relax me and help switch
my brain into weekend mode.
All
in all, we had a fantastic time at Next Door Kitchen & Bar and
I'm sure that you will too.
Total
Bunnie Dollars Spent:$98.50.
**Beginning
of bunnie's gibberish ranting: I couldn’t believe that the bill
came to almost $100. I know it was a dinner for two with drinks, but
that's more expensive than a bottle of perfume from Jo Malone's
limited edition Sugar & Spice range. All these times I've been
dragging the other travel bunnie out for food, but until that very
moment when I tapped my credit card on the EFTPOS machine, I had no
idea just really how expensive dining out is, and we do it so often.
So it was then and there, that I promised myself to cut down on our
weekly dining out sessions. End of a bunnie's gibberish ranting**
