Brisbane Day 3: Pasta and Calamari @ Fortitude Valley (Dinner)

We finally went down to Chinatown today. It was quite a disappointment. Chinatown mall was undergoing a major development and the entire area was so quiet. There were quite a number of asian eateries though, but since we were in Australia, we decided to go for the local food.


After carefully studying the menu of several cafes, we settled on Cosmo Café.

First a round of Hot Chocolate – the best we had so far. I can feel the calories piling on. Just look at how rich this drink is. Oh yes, it’s always served with a couple of marshmallows.

The mains soon followed. I’ll never get used to the size of the portions. How on earth can someone eat this amount everyday? It’s artery clogging.

This is the SMALL seafood pizza – the size of our medium Canadian Pizza. Just look on the mound of seafood topping.

I ordered the Moroccan Calamari. I wonder which giant squid sacrificed its life for my dinner…

The Lasagna was easily more than 2 inches think and laden with ground beef and cheese. It also came with a huge side of fries.

Definitely no room for dessert. Instead, I went back to my hotel and munched on several pieces of coconut covered chocolates. The best meal so far.
