Super Bowl Restaurant, Fortitude Valley
I like Super Bowl, in Wickham St. We have gone there for New Year's or Christmas Eve dinner for the last couple of years. It's fairly low-end, but the food is mostly good, cheap and the atmosphere is fun and casual. When ordering stuff to share, the two dishes that I always have to toss up between are the salt and pepper squid, or Grandma's hot pot. The squid is always REALLY spicy, piping hot, sometimes a bit chewy but always with that sweet salty peppery seasoning. Lordy. Just thinking about it is making my mouth water. The Grandma's hot pot is minced tofu with minced pork in a sweet-and-sourish-but-not-really, vaguely spicy sauce. It's mega-delish, especially over rice, and especially in a doggy bag and had on your toast for breakfast the next morning. Ahh. Good old Super Bowl.
The other good thing about Super Bowl is going for a weekend lunch there, preferably alone and as a refreshing break from the Valley markets. They have a special, separate lunch menu, made up of mostly several dozen types of noodle soup. You can choose your noodle type and your preferred ingredients: dumplings, BBQ pork, chicken, vegetable, prawn and so on. They will bring you out lots of green tea and water, and you can slurp away while reading the paper to your heart's content.
