Flute Fine Food, Coorparoo

I promised a friend to help her move. Seeing that I had some time to kill before the scheduled time, I searched for a nearby cafe and found Flute. I didn't know that Cream Patisserie Boulangerie is just beside Flute. Both were equally filled with bustling customers. Quickly, I was shown to a table by a cheerful and friendly waitress.


Flute's Menu
Looking at the menu, it does seem that their food prices are on the higher end and there wasn't much choice. Oh well, I finally ordered the 'Roasted Red Pepper & Haloumi Stack' and a chai latte. 

Roasted Red Pepper & Haloumi Stack -$20
Grilled Haloumi, Cous cous & Danish Feta Stuffed Red Pepper
The food arrived first and my chai arrived after eating at least 1/4 of my meal. *Not that happy* Back to the food, the one-piece haloumi was well-hidden under the humongous red pepper. I expected more haloumi actually. Looking at the poached eggs, I was quite disappointed because it's obvious that they used a poached egg gadget ... Oh well, at least the stuffed red pepper did not disappoint. The combination of cous cous and the Danish feta is pretty good although it can be quite boring after a while. 

Finally, my chai latte arrived!

Chai Latte
I took the first sip .... Oh my! It's so sweet! I didn't even add any sugar to it. :(
For the first time ever, I did not finish the drink. 

I walked to the counter and paid my bill. 

So readers, what do you usually reply when someone asked you 'How's the food? or How's everything?' ? Do you speak the truth or just smile and say 'It's lovely/beautiful'?

I can't help myself and told them that the Chai's too sweet. 

Worker    : Oh no, I must have added too much powder!
Me          : Oh, so you guys used powder instead of chai tea leaves?
Worker    : Oh, you should have said chai tea then.

Well, I didn't have any problem when I visited Ponycat. I had a nice chai latte (from tea leaves) in Ponycat. After my experience in Flute, I think my obsession with chai has disappeared. Besides providing friendly service, Flute's food is only average to me.

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

First meal for 2021

Sassafras, Paddington Happy 2021 everyone! This is my first post of the year after one long year hiatus from the food blog. As I am writing this blog, we are currently into Day 2 of 3 Brisbane lockdown and currently having a donut score of 0 case. Yay! Anyhow, back to Sassafras. I have heard of this place years ago and we finally made it here. Along the stretch with King Tea and Hai Hai ramen, you will not miss this one. This cafe is divided into indoor and outdoor sections, with lots of plant at the back. It was unfortunate that the outdoor setting was fully booked that day as I know the kids would really enjoy it. It has become a routine for me to sign up electronically for everyone and Sassafras is equipped with the QR code. What did we order for our first brunch of the year? First up, was the little people's breakfast; pancakes, strawberries and maple syrup ($7.90) ( I think this is one of the affordable kid's breakfast around ). Miss G requested for blueberries instead of ...
