Junk Toowoomba

Service? Prompt. Eager even. Quiet on a Sunday night. Everything on the menu sounds great which is a wonderful problem to have, but it does make making decisions harder than I'd like. On this instance they were out of spring rolls, curry fries, dumplings and lotus chips; so basically, out of options, which made ME out of patience. Maybe it's a COVID thing. Cool dragon. When it came to seating, the world, or at least the dining space, was our oyster. Asked for the "best seats in the house", which I'm not convinced we got. Sometimes I don't think people take me seriously. Ordered the pork bao and chicken skewers. Bao is tagged with 'customer favourite' on the menu. I'd like to know who decided to put that there. How many customers have come back and said "hey, this is my favourite", that they made it a permanent addition to the menu? The bao buns themselves were great, not rubbery at all as is oft the case. Nice and soft. Decent slice of pork and tasty sauce. I'd say overpriced for such a small volume of food but this is the way. Chicken skewers were succulent and full of flavour. Mild spice. Just right for my western caucasian palate. I'm yet to know how they go on exit but at the time of writing, my gut and bowels are in good health. The skewers taste kinda like those pre-marinated skewers from Woolies (other supermarkets are available). Sounds bad but those skewers are so good! Underrated. Nice one woolies. These ones had a slightly bolder flavour and some extra garnishes. Could you do the same? Probably. But here they'll do it for you, plus you get to look like you have a social life because you're eating out. An Englishman was on what was clearly a first date at the table behind us. Strong accent and strong statement with the gold chain necklace. I hope his date went well though. He arrived quite early, paid for the lady and from what I caught of their interactions he seemed lovely. Good on him. Five stars for that guy. Another couple who I suspect have been together for quite a while were also there. They scrolled through their respective phones and kept out of each other's business. Dressed casually at 7pm on a Sunday night, I think that's what love looks like. Seemingly meaningless observations, but I think it speaks to the diversity of this places appeal. Good enough for a causal "can't be bothered" Sunday dinner, but equally good for a first date. Is it the best location for either? Possibly not, but they do have a dragon.
