Pawpaw Cafe, Woolloogabba

As promised, this is the post of PawPaw Cafe, which is just opposite Foxy Bean! SaC and myself went to Pawpaw Cafe quite a while ago back in November 2012. A few parking spots are available just behind the cafe and we were lucky then to get a spot!

I love Pawpaw Cafe! It exudes a much relaxing ambience with simple decor...

SaC and myself took our own sweet time deciding what to have that day. Well, I was tossing between the 'Baked Eggs' or 'Corn Fritters' and I finally chose the 'Baked Eggs' while SaC had the 'Quinoa & Potato Hash Cakes'.

But first up... our drinks!

Their coffee is from Campos and I had the usual skinny flat white. SaC had his English Breakfast tea.

My 'Baked Eggs' - with tomato sofrito, organic feta, chorizo & dukkah
PS: What is sofrito? I got no idea in the first place. Wiki says it is a type of base which consists of garlic, onion, peppers and tomatoes, cooked in olive oil. ;)

Baked Eggs - $14.90

The baked eggs looked quite oily at first glance but it is actually the tomato sofrito. It was quite a good meal. I am just wondering whether it was too salty with the combination of chorizo and feta? Anyway, it doesn't matter, it was delicious that I had to use the bread to soak up the sauce and spices!


SaC's Quinoa & Potato hash cakes - served with grilled haloumi & beetroot relish

Quinoa and Potato Hash Cakes- $13.90
Three huge hash cakes were served for SaC with perfectly grilled haloumi. I love haloumi! What is lacking in this dish is some kind of sauce or more sauce is needed actually. I think it is a little too dry. Otherwise, crispy hash cakes but a little bland mixture of quinoa and potato ... SaC commented that he was so full after this meal.

I think Pawpaw is a nice cafe and I am sure that I will return one day.

Tibetan Kitchen, West End Finally, I have the time to catch up on blogging! Yay! After a sweaty and tired workout in Urban Climb for an indoor rock-climbing (more than a month ago!) , the five of us made our way to Tibetan Kitchen for a late dinner. It was a Friday night and there was people bustling around Trang and its neighbour, Tibetan Kitchen. Haven't had the taste or any clues about Tibetan food, we were lucky because one of our company had spent his time in Tibet for a month. He did warned us beforehand that the food here wasn't as authentic as the food in Tibet though.  Anyway, after much contemplation, we ordered: Pakhora Onion Baje - 6.90 Crispy fried onion patties served with yoghurt & cucumber sauce The pakhora was all right. It could be better with more onions maybe? Namcheko Momo - $8.90 Typical Tibetan style meat dumplings served with homemade tomato chutney Even though these dumplings looked like Chinese/Japanese dumplings

  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
