Sisco

Sisco, Spring Hill
It seemed to rain when MXM and myself go out for brunch. I remembered it was pouring when we visited The Burrow and it happened again when we visited Sisco. The weather was crazy and we had to run (sort of) to the warm shelter Sisco provided. 

I did not know the existence of this small little cafe until MXM suggested it. I love the simple interior design of this place, quite similar to Stomp Espresso actually.

Trying to steer clear from coffee, I ordered their hot chocolate while MXM tried their iced coffee (Yup, even though it was raining!).

Hot Chocolate

Well, I was glad I ordered something hot. You can't complain when there is a hot chocolate in front of you! :)

It was not easy to decide but in the end, I chose poached eggs on organic sourdough toast and house made HP sauce ($9.50) with the addition of buttered mushrooms ($4).

I love their HP sauce! It was pretty amazing with its intense flavour. Each individual item was good on its own but somehow, I think buttered mushrooms don't go that well with HP sauce. I should have chosen sausage or chorizo instead, probably.

Salmon rillette on brioche with soft boiled egg and salsa verde

MXM had the salmon rillette on brioche with soft boiled egg and salsa verde ($16). Presentation wise, much better than my dish and I think they tasted delicious too!

Overall, I had a good time with a good friend. I wonder whether it will rain (heavily) when we go for brekkie again in the future?

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 ...
