Sunnybank, QUEENSLAND—An Asian man has woken up from a 48-day coma and shocked his famiry by immediately asking for a bowl of Hakataya Ramen.

Po-jin Lau, 36, fell into a coma back in early April after causing and surviving a dangerous car accident in the Market Square carpark in Brisbane Southside suburb Sunnybank.

Mr Lau, who is one of many Asians in Brisbane who drive without a valid license, was very lucky to be alive.

After a grueling 48 days, with family and medical staff unsure if he’d ever wake up or suffer from permanent brain damage, Mr Lau woke up, and although he struggled to speak, when he finally did, he uttered the words: "I want Hakataya Ramen."

Doctors asked Mr Lau what he experienced while in a comatose state, and the patient recalled vivid dreams.

"I had a terrible nightmare, I want to wake up wery badry [sic]—in my dream, everybody who drink Sakuraya get the diabetes and died! And they still charging $10 for a milk tea!" said Mr Lau.

Mr Lau now has a second chance at life, and hopes to get back on the road soon.

Sunnybank, QUEENSLAND—The Mayor of Sunnybank has publicly extended an invite to movie star Johnny Depp to return to Australia, emphasising that the actor's dogs will always be welcome in the Brisbane Southside suburb.

Johnny Depp, best known for his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of Caribbean movie franchise, violated Australia's strict quarantine laws in May 2015 by bringing his dogs to this nation's shores without declaring them to officials.

When Australia’s agriculture minister Barnaby Joyce threatened to kill Mr Depp's dogs, Pistol and Boo, residents from Brisbane Southside suburb Sunnybank were outraged.

Known for their love of animals, especially dogs, Sunnybank residents issued death threats to Mr Joyce.

"Don't let the white man kill a dog, they don't know best way to preserve the fravour in the meat!" cried one Sunnybank woman on her Facebook.

A Change.org petition started by the Mayor of Sunnybank's office back in May 2015, titled "Save Depp's Dogs" gained over 800 signatures in 2 hours.

Now, a year later and following Mr Depp's official apology for his actions, Chi-pang Low, incumbent Mayor of Sunnybank, has extended an invite for the Hollywood actor to return freely to Australia with his pets in tow.

"Jonny Dapp, come back to Sunnybank anytime, and bring your dogs too—we will welcome them wery much," announced Mr Low on his Twitter.

Sunnybank, QUEENSLAND—A person has been reported missing in the Brisbane Southside, whom witnesses say has Black Hair, Small Eyes, and speaks broken English. Sunnybank Police are offering a Cash-Only Reward for any information.

On Sunday, 28 February, 2016 a person, believed to be of Asian background, went missing in the Brisbane Southside. According to witnesses, he or she has black hair, small eyes, and speaks broken English.

Authorities have urged the community to come forward with any extra information that might narrow down the identity of the missing person, such as: the make/model of the car they drive, where they most frequently buy their Bubble Tea, and whether they prefer to eat Rice or Noodles.

"We've been told the missing person is around Early-20s in appearance—unfortunately, our information suggests they are of Asian background, which means their actual age could be anywhere between 20 to 45," said Constable Robert Jeffreys, Head of Missing Persons Unit.

Sunnybank, QUEENSLAND—A New Chinese Take-Away Franchise, CHING Y CHONG (CYC), is set to open in April in Sunnybank, Brisbane's Chinatown District. CYC promises to bring a revival of Chinese food and revolutionise the Spring Roll. The Bokchoy's Lifestyle Journalist, Kathleen Benson, reports from the Brisbane suburb.

CHING Y CHONG - Chinese Take-Away, CYC for short, is the brainchild of Michelin Star-Winning Sydney Restaurateur, Michael Fei-Jai Ching, and Brisbane's own "King of Take-Away", Jimmy Chong.

Mr Chong—whose great-great grandfather was the first to introduce Sweet & Sour Pork to Brisbane's Chinatown during the early 1960s—is a true example of Asian work ethic, not sitting idle after the successful opening of Hungry Chan's in 2015.

"My whole famiry [sic], we are expert in Chinese Take-Away. More than 88 year experience all together," Mr Chong said, while stroking his Fu Manchu moustache.

While CYC will serve a variety of Chinese staples, including Fried Rice, Sweet & Sour Pork, Spring Rolls, Prawn Crackers, and ~~Mongolian~~ Chinese Beef with a twist, the restaurant will not use any MSG in its foods for a completely brand-new never-before-eaten Chinese Take-Away experience.

Mr Chong is confident CYC will bring something new to the table and reignite people's love for Chinese food: "We only use best meat in all our recipe, fresh dog steaks import directly from China, 100-percent guarantee."

The first CHING Y CHONG - Chinese Take-Away is due to open on 1 April, 2016 in the heart of Sunnybank. For updates, follow The Bokchoy's Facebook page.

Sunnybank, QUEENSLAND—A Caucasian man who managed to escape Sunnybank's Market Square with his car unscathed has been declared a local hero and will meet with Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk to receive an award for his bravery.

Justin Dubbs, known to his mates as 'Dubsy', was at the Sunnybank food precinct enjoying some Yum Cha to celebrate the missus' birthday on Saturday, 20 February. When it came time to leave, Mr Dubbs knew it would take a miracle to get out of the car park without scratching his Holden Commodore.

"I'd heard stories about [Sunnybank], mate, saw it on Today Tonight - Worst Drivers in Australia - and I gotta be honest, I was shittin' myself," he said.

Witnesses say they overheard Mr Dubbs, in a moment of vulnerability, saying a prayer to One Nation leader Pauline Hanson before getting into his car, along the lines of: "Please protect me from the Asians, Pauline" and "Get my Commodore out of here safely, and I promise to vote for you".

According to the authorities, there were only four other white people in Sunnybank at the time, but drawn by the familiar sound of the Holden Commodore engine they rushed to boost his morale for his decisive departure.

"Go you good thing", "That's gold!", "She'll be right, mate," the bystanders shouted, cheering on Mr Dubbs as he reversed from his spot, cautiously evading a Toyota Camry that was going at 40km/h in the car park.

"My heart skipped a beat, and then I saw my chance ... and got out onto Mains Road without a scratch... it was a miracle," Mr Dubbs recalled, sobbing into a can of VB.

Yulin, CHINA—Asia's Dog Population is on the verge of extinction after the biggest Chinese New Year Celebration in History, along with MSG and Soy Sauce at their lowest ever supply since December 27, 1975.

On the first weekend of February 2016, Asian families around the world enjoyed their annual Chinese New Year celebrations—many of which consisted of a Tsingtao-fuelled traditional Chinese banquet complemented with lion dancing, Mahjong and maths competitions.

However, the conclusion of the festivities was marred by a sharp decline to the dog population around the world—leaving Asian Culture Experts concerned that future Chinese New Year celebrations may never be quite the same ever again.

Another oriental delicacy, Monosodium glutamate (commonly known as MSG), a core feature of Asian cooking—first used as an ingredient as early as 1200 BC—is also in critically low supply after Chinese New Year. MSG is highly regarded as the defining "edge" that separates authentic Asian dishes from cheap imitations.

The Chinese community, outraged with the prospect of eating alternative meats after 5,000 years of favouring canine consumption, is laying the blame on pet owners for perpetuating the culture of castrating domestic animals. Asia's finest cooks have even started a petition calling for an international ban on neutering.

"So stupid to cut the little brother of the dog, then they can't born new ones [sic]. Do you stop the chicken from laying more eggs? No! So why do it with the dog?" said Tak-Ho Zhu, one of the judges of MasterChef China.

Sunnybank, QUEENSLAND—Business has boomed for an Asian Restaurant after it started offering customers free, unlimited MSG with every meal purchase.

One of Brisbane's lesser-known Chinese restaurants, Canton Canteen, is now one of the city's best-known: not just for its wide range of authentic Asian dishes such as Fried Rice, Spring Rolls, and Sweet & Sour Dog, but gained a lot of public attention for its Free Unlimited MSG with every meal.

After struggling to bring in profits for most of 2015 and on the verge of shutting down, the original owners of Canton Canteen decided to jump ship and sold off the establishment last November. Sydney restaurateur Denny Fong-Pei Lo, surprised customers, the media, and health inspectors, when he unveiled the strategy to revive the dying business.

As of February 2016 the restaurant already has plans to expand to a second location, much to the pleasure of the Asian community; Lo gave The Bokchoy an exclusive hint on the plan for his next venture. The Canton Canteen owner promises "One Free Can of Baby Formula with Every Meal Purchase" in a bid to take over the Brisbane restaurant scene.
