The Smoke BBQ

The Smoke BBQ, New Farm

According to Flickr, these pictures were taken back in November 2012! How many moons ago was that? ;)

Three of us (YL, her sister (AL) and myself) visited The Smoke BBQ prior to AL's graduation. A big congratulation to you Miss Engineer! Haha! YL being very organised, had already made a booking in this busy restaurant. There is two entrance to this place depending on where you park.

All I know about this place is their famous BBQ wings and it sounded like we need to try them. But first up, we were given two pieces of complimentary corn bread and it came with some kind of butter? I still could not figure what that was...

Corn Bread

As far as I can remember, the corn bread had some slight spiciness to it. That was the second time I tried corn bread, but I think it was pretty good. I remembered just spreading the bread with the light, creamy butter?

Looking at the menu, the food seemed expensive to our budget. So, we opted for a starter and a main to share. We ordered their Buffalo chicken wings ($16).

Buffalo Chicken Wings

The crispy buffalo chicken wings came together with the blue cheese dressing and some celery twigs. The waitress will bring an empty bucket for the bone disposal, which is very thoughtful. We were certainly not ladylike that night... Using our fingers to devour the chicken wings. Hmm.... I think the wings were all right. They were indeed crispy but the flavour just did not suit me and the blue cheese dressing was pretty watery. 

For our mains, we had the 'Pork and Chicken Platter' ($50).

This meal include 'Memphis Pork Belly with a side of Memphis sauce, North Carolina Pulled Pork and a half Hickory Chicken with a side of Memphis BBQ served with fried and coleslaw'. Since it was quite long ago, I just recalled the meat being very tender and flavourful with the BBQ sauce. The chips were crunchy and the coleslaw added some freshness towards the whole dish. I quite like them. 

Overall, we had a good time that night, mostly talking about AL's post graduation Tasmanian trip.

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 ...
