About Chapter IV

Perched on a breezy Paddington terrace overlooking Brisbane, Chapter IV pairs panoramic skyline views with vibrant Thai street-food breakfast classics. Morning regulars come for the comforting bowls of warm rice congee alongside crispy patongo—fresh fried dough sticks dipped into silky pandan and taro custard. Families settle into long, uninterrupted flat whites while little ones take over the dedicated enclosed playroom just steps away. Between savory skewers of smoky char-grilled gai yang and matcha whisked right at the table, brunch naturally stretches toward DIY mini cake painting out in the open air.

  • Skyline Verandah Dining: Open-air terrace seating looks directly over the Brisbane and Milton skylines with wooden menus built for the breeze.
  • Thai Street Morning Staples: Morning cravings center on savoury rice porridge with onsen egg and crisp patongo dipped into sweet kaya, taro, and pandan custards.
  • Enclosed Toddler Playroom: A dedicated kids' play space fitted with a mini kitchen lets parents linger over warm drinks without interruption.
  • DIY Mini Cake Painting: Tables can order miniature sponge cakes complete with frosting palettes and decorating tools to customize dessert outside.

  • Balcony Dining Overlooking the City

    The outdoor verandah and balcony seating present panoramic sightlines looking directly over the Brisbane city skyline, creating an airy, scenic morning backdrop.

    The view from where I was seated on the balcony was absolutely breathtaking… just such a beautiful outlook over Brisbane City and Milton.

    A dedicated children's playroom and mini kitchen setup, sectioned off beside table seating, lets parents relax over hot coffee without constant interruption.

  • Thai Street-Style Breakfast Plates

    The kitchen serves traditional Thai morning specialties alongside cafe brunch, including crispy patongo donut sticks, silky congee with onsen eggs, and gai yang skewers.

    The Patongo Kaya Set (sweet) is such a unique dish - fresh Thai-style donut sticks w/ with four dipping sauces (pandan, Thai tea, taro custard, & condensed milk).

  • Holiday-Like Escape and Relaxation

    The expansive open views, fresh whole coconuts, and breezy terrace seating create a serene, unhurried atmosphere reminiscent of an overseas getaway.

    It seriously felt like a mini holiday. They even served fresh coconuts — I felt like I was relaxing in Thailand without leaving Sydney!

Signature savory dishes and Thai-inspired morning favorites

  • Gai Yang & Sticky Rice

    I would strongly recommend the Gai Yang and sticky rice (chicken skewers). The fish sauce on the side was the best I’ve had in Australia. The chicken was also very tender and juicy, perfectly charred on the outside adding a nice smoky flavor.

  • Patongo & Kaya Set

    The Patongo Kaya Set (sweet) is such a unique dish - fresh Thai-style donut sticks w/ with four dipping sauces (pandan, Thai tea, taro custard, & condensed milk). It’s perfect for sharing.

  • Matcha Latte

    And other honourable mentions the matcha latte…outstanding! So many places cannot get matcha right; it’s either too bitter or too watered down, but here it was perfect.
