Comfort At My Table

Comfort At My Table, Milton

Few Sundays ago, MXM and myself went to Comfort at My Table for brunch to have a final catch-up for the year before his flight back to NZ. I have been here a couple of times and the first time was my birthday last year. Like the name of the cafe, it is comforting to eat here and the ambience is really nice. I would say that this place has more feminine touch than other places. Nevertheless, I still recommended it to MXM, hehe!




It was such a hot day! Therefore, MXM opted for an iced ginger tea instead of his usual coffee. Anything with ginger will make MXM happy. The tea was refreshing and thankfully for me (I'm not a huge fan of ginger), the flavour of the ginger and star anise was really subtle.

For myself, I ordered a chai latte. The first sip of the creamy, frothy chai was so blissful. I smiled to MXM and told him:

Me    :  'Wow, this is so good and creamy!'
MXM  :  'Did you asked for a skinny chai?'
Me    :   Oh crap! I forgot ....

Well, luckily I did not! Love the chai and now I am addicted to chai instead of my usual skinny flat white. :)

I usually order the same meal each time I visit CAMT and no exception that day. My favourite is their 'Eggs Benedict'. 


Eggs Benedict - $12.80
thyme mushrooms, wilted spinach, blistered tomatoes, lemon hollandaise


The lemony hollandaise sauce is the reason why I like their eggs benedict so much. The addition of lemon makes the sauce lighter and tangier than others. The eggs were poached to perfection and the bread toasted well. I opted for mushrooms since I have tried it with leg ham and smoked salmon before.

MXM had the 'Nims' Eggs'. I told him that it is their signature dish.

Nims' Eggs - $11.80
poached eggs, bacon, pesto, banana chutney, roast tomato


One word: Delicious! Watching him eat his food, I wanted Nims' Eggs as well. The blend of savoury from the crispy bacons and pesto together with the sweetness of banana chutneys were well-balanced. Everything was perfect.

Too bad, we were both pretty full after that...



























I love this place! The food is tasty and cheaper in comparison to other places. Service is good and love the ambience. If you have the chance, you should order a hot chocolate too. It comes in a large bowl accompanied by marshmallows and chocolate sauce on the sides. Yum!

Newmarket Hotel

  Newmarket Hotel, Newmarket  Newmarket Hotel has been on our regular place to visit as it is quite a family friendly restaurant; and obviously quite close to home. It can get quite busy at times but as we usually dine when restaurants open (5 or 5.30pm) so it was not too bad. Parking is ample with the complex's undercover parking. What I love about Newmarket hotel is that they do have kid's meal and Grace always enjoy their chicken tenders. Yay! The kid's meal come with a drink (and the drink container can be brought home) and ice cream for dessert. No photo for her meal but we ordered it with steamed vegetables. If you are a seafood lover, give their calamari a go! They are beautifully crumbed and cooked just right. This is an entree size but you can upgrade to the main size. I tried their fish - special of the day; barramundi with some crispy pumpkin/potatoes and the 'sauce'. Honestly, I did not expect it, as this was more like a gravy sauce dish. The portion was...

Milk Cafe, Ashgrove

  Milk Cafe, Ashgrove Throwback to late last year when we visited Milk Cafe in Ashgrove. It is just adjacent to Woolworths Ashgrove and you will not miss it. Plenty of parking is available in the complex. Famous for its milkshake, we did not order any as we get quite apprehensive when the kids are so high in sugar 😅. I could not remember the exact dish we had that day but the first dish was poached eggs with bacon, and cripsy potatoes with addition of haloumi. Little M dislikes cheese but she will gobble up the haloumi in no time. We had the pancakes as well and they were fluffy and soft. The girls thankfully enjoyed them, as sometimes they can be picky with their food.  The indoor setting is reasonably large and there is outdoor setting as well. Bonus--> it is part of the Entertainment book's voucher. But ya, we will be back one day.  Breakfast at Milk Cafe

Toowoomba

The Journey to the West!  It took less than 2 hours to Toowoomba (largest non-capital inland city) from Brisbane. Together with AQ, we were on the way to visit MXM. The weather wasn't promising with the grey clouds on the horizon. Anyway, first pit-stop: Engine Room Cafe Once in Toowoomba, MXM took control of the wheel and brought us sight-seeing. The 'city' is tiny in comparison to Brisbane! To fill our hungry tummies, we had brunch in Engine Room Cafe, with a souvenir shop attached to it.  We ordered at the counter and had a skinny flat white. I think the coffee was OK, I wasn't really a big fan of it.  Flat White - $3.70 AQ had French toast. He wiped clean his plate. I'm assuming it's good. French Toast As for myself, I ordered the Eggs Benedict. Eggs Benedict - $15 Poached eggs, hollandaise sauce with mushrooms and toast It's definitely not the best Eggs Benedict that I had. The hollandaise sauce was too...
