Fry Chicken Master - Forest Lake

Very bad attitude of staff. Most of the foodalways has been sold out. But the staff do not previously informed. Staff complain at work, or very harsh treatment of customers.

Cheap eat, it's like an economical budget restaurant, edible not fantastic but convenient if you don't want to drive another 5 mins into the hustle and bustle of Sunnybank. I personally would make the drive into Sunnybank as there are better eats then this place .

This is one of my favourite restaurants ever in Brisbane. I tried Braised Beef Noodle Soup and Egg Noodle with Wonton, and I totally love it. Braised Beef Noodle Soup is pretty salty because of the cooking style, Egg Noodle with Wonton is a great choice which is very tasty from the froth to Wontons and the price is affordable. Some deep fried snack could be eaten for fun while waiting or go well together with the main dishes. In my opinion, they're not really impressive and I ranked for averaged flavour. Anyway, I'm sure you will be very full after the main dishes. Their milk tea is also nice, not really sweet and you still can feel the bitter of tea on your tongue.

My brother in law was coming up briefly and staying over for the night before heading off in the morning. Add onto that, I was finishing up a class online and it was around about dinner time when I was done. So, it was going to find somewhere for dinner. The deal was that it was close, and it was soon - good, because everyone was probably starving. The real reason that we ended up here was that my dining buddy had heard about a coffee place that had a gimmick, and searching for it results came up about a whole other place full of Asian eateries that he had not known about, just a stroll away from the much-cherished Market Square. After having a scour of the row along here, and a bit of discussion of what to do eventually it was though eat in the restaurant - and this was the chosen place, since it looked good, had an interesting menu and was relatively affordable in price. In describing the interior, on one side there is not a whole lot to it, however on the other side it has its character giving it a unique atmosphere in disparity. Let's put it this way, this little eatery is certainly casual in the vibe that they are going for. It is rows of long benches, and each one comes with a box that has the chopsticks and spoons ready to use. As it might be implied later, there is not enough room on the tables to put a lot of food; it gets crowded quickly and easily. On the other hand, some effort has definitely being put into the look - there is a feel and character to it; it is mostly cosy and the tables are made of good quality wood. Walking inside it is a way different vibe to outdoors. For the most part, my brother in law was in the driving seat for the ordering. How it goes with service is that you go to line up (avoiding bumping into tables, these are pretty close together) and head to the counter. Place your orders, pay up and eventually they will find you and give you them. One thing though, there is the rough around the edges aspect where the sequence of ordering might not result in the sequence of receiving the food - just a head's up. How the menu goes is like this: it is a Taiwanese place. The menu is big, having all kinds to appease most tastes and there is noodles, set meals a little like bento boxes, hot pots, stir fries and all sorts of snack foods. It is wholesome dining, and low key. Oh, and who can forget the classic bubble teas? This is Taiwanese, if it was not already said, so it is nigh to sacrilige to go to one without getting a bubble tea to drink on the side. All three of us got a bubble tea to drink, and each one with pearls. The flavours were turquoise, white gourd turquoise and caramel latte. Even with the most latter flavour, these were less sweet than bubble teas usually are. What was also good about these teas was the generous base of pearls that were give; there must have been about an inch of them on the bottom. The one that I ordered was said to be a daring fruit, but after a sip of it I was won over. Looking back on it, it tasted like lychee. The plain turquoise I can't remember much of, and the caramel latte was weird - think of squeezing some caramel flavouring into your plain tea next time (no milk) and that was what it was like. These bubble teas were cold and a good size. Each one of us got a set meal with rice. Looking at the diners around the restaurant, this seemed to be the most popular item - why would it not be? They are great value, and massive in size. How it goes is that you choose your meat from the generous selection given, and it comes with several sides. each one had a miso soup and bowl of steamed rice plus three different condiments. If I hazard a guess for them, one was a vermicelli noodle salad, there was a simple green salad with a generous dollop of dressing and the other appeared to be a tomato omelet. I could take or leave the latter - more so leave - but the other condiments were good. The greens were probably helped by the creamy dressing, but where it was really at was the vermicelli noodle salad. It was doused in a vinegar-based dressing, and had bits of capsicum mixed throughout it. This was the needed sour addition to the fantastic meal that was going to occur. The amount of rice that they gave was generous, and there was a seasoning right throughout it. It was cooked to perfection, steamed and hot mixing well bit the meat of the meal. The miso soup might have benefited from having a bit more miso in it, since it dispersed to much leaving it be mostly hot water. The meats chosen for the set meals were chicken Maryland, salt and pepper chicken, and the famous fried-grilled chicken. Each bit of chicken was tender, juicy and fantastic. The pieces were massive. The Maryland was four different cuts, a combination of wing and breast, and cooked really slowly. The salt and pepper chicken is exactly as would be expected (think of salt and pepper calamari), but the grilled-fried chicken was something else. Both of the latter two were pounded out akin to schnitzels and then deep fried, with the former having the peppery taste of.... pepper, and the latter getting its own unique spice mixture. They were cut into strips making it easy to pick up with chopsticks and pass round. Additionally, my dining buddy also ordered a pork ball soup. This soup was not bad at all, and was even quite nice - soothing and everything. After all that was ordered, it seemed a bit unnecessary. The meat in the pork balls was tender and juicy, plus there was quite a few of them in there. The soup was light and thin, and they had on generous amount of seaweed mixed throughout it. So, the consensus is that on its own part it is pretty good - but with the far less subtle flavours and volume it probably should have been nixed in retrospect. Because, why not? Everyone decided to get a few items on the side in addition to the meals. The idea is that it was already a cheap meal, and that some of the sides were a mere two dollars if that. Since the costs were small, he assumed that each one might have one or two bits at most. For a laugh, I put in the request for "Chicken Butt" - which is really just like the skin of a chicken, nothing to dare yourself to eat so much. Other bits and bobs ordered were mushrooms, tofu, cauliflower and the classic takoyaki. Additionally, the real classic Taiwanese snack was also gotten - fried chicken. This is fried chicken like none other. A small while, it was debated what size with small eventually winning. The look on the counter girl's face was one of being perplexed - probably because a lot had inadvertently been ordered. Taiwanese has become one of my most like cuisines for a number of reasons. Part of it is probably the ratio of land area to the amount of food offered at the restaurants, and how tasty it is. One other aspect that definitely helps is the street food and snacks that they offer. When they hand it to you, it is in a paper bag and comes with some tooth picks for eating. Each one of the extras that were ordered were nothing short of tasty. Takoyaki is always a winner, let's just leave it at that. They were hot, creamy and delicious. One thing I did not expect would translate as well as it did was the cauliflower - colour me surprised and impressed by that. The tofu was soft, moreish and delicious having a thin sheet with the frying. Finally, the mushrooms were even better - spiced in the crumb and starting to exude their flavour. Not a bad selection, well done. So it was all good. With the variety that they offer on show, coming here again and ordering a completely new lot of items is entirely possible and easy. Then it is onto the fried chicken. I try not to pull any fast food place into comparisons, and at most just allude to them as a whole, however this time I will to get a point across. After trying these bits of chicken from here, and it has accumulated in opinion from subsequent places, KFC can officially buzz off - this was way better than anything they have produced. The chicken they had was way more flavourful, the cuts felt more real, and there was something in the sheer use of spices that made it irresistible. Absolutely worth a trip here - or to any Taiwanese location - just to try their attempt at fried chicken. You won't regret it. Deep Fry Master was another one of these amazing finds that just so happened to be there in the middle of the strangest place. Good value food is the gold star, and the fact it was tasty made it more so. How I went this long not knowing this was right here at a turn off, I don't know. All I can say, good things come from waiting - and this arrived like a pleasant gift.
