Luke Nguyen’s Fat Noodle opens in Brisbane City
The latest restaurant from celebrity chef Luke Nguyen has opened at the Treasury Casino and Hotel in the city, just in time for last-minute work Christmas lunches and late-night feasts. Fat Noodle is Luke’s second noodle bar, with the first Fat Noodle having opened at The Star in Sydney two years ago.
Dishing up primarily Chinese cuisine, but also touching on Vietnamese, Thai and Malay fare, Fat Noodle draws on both Luke’s Vietnamese heritage and Chinese family history for menu inspiration. This contemporary noodle bar sees fresh produce channelled into both exotic and authentic noodle dishes amongst the revamped Treasury Casino setting.
On the menu, small plates include Vegetarian Spring Rolls of glass noodles, wood ear mushrooms, tofu and carrots and Atlantic Salmon Sashimi with mandarin, perilla, lemongrass and roasted rice powder. Of the noodle soups on offer, the Fat Pho Noodle of Luke’s signature beef broth, thinly sliced Angus sirloin and brisket, bean sprouts, Thai basil, chilli and rice noodles is a stand out, while the Abalone & Chicken Congee with Chinese Rice Porridge tempts our penchant for sea-sourced rarities. Wok and rice dishes also feature in a mix of meat and vegetarian offerings, with a large selection also gluten free.
Based at the casino, Fat Noodle is open late into the evening, allowing us to indulge in our love of Asian cuisine anytime of the day or night.
