Mamak Tandoori House

Mamak Tandoori House, Camp Hill
It has been so many months since I last had Indian food! I particularly have not attempted to cook any Indian dishes or curries due to their complexities in terms of the amount of spices used. Together with Simco and Symo, we went to Samuel St in Camp Hill to try Mamak Tandoori House which specialises in Malaysian and Indian dishes.

The prices are really reasonable ranging from about $15.90 for the main curries. There are so many to choose from and we finally decided to have two curries, one briyani and one naan. So, what did we have?

Bare in mind that all the curries 'heat' level start with medium and above! 

First up, we had the lamb 'kapitan' curry which was the house specialty. I am not a big fan of lamb but this curry surprised me! The lamb was really tender and the curry just tasted so authentic.

You will not miss the curry leaves and the 'blame-my-poor-spices-recognition' in the curry. It was really good! 

For our second curry, I chose the fish 'Bengal' curry.

I can't describe the flavour but it was so good! It tasted very authentic and you have chunky pieces of fish enough to be shared among three people. We devoured both curries even though we were sniffling by the end of it. Yum!

To accompany the curries, instead of plain basmati rice we tried their chicken briyani. No complains at all! The boneless chicken pieces were really tender and soft, cooked well with the basmati rice.

Last but not least, a garlic naan to soak up all the curries! Their naan is quite thin in comparison to others that I have tried before. Their naan is not too bad.

We all had great time in Mamak Tandoori House. It is quite a small restaurant in comparison to others around that area. It certainly did not disappoint and I hope to return one day. Luckily there was a Baskin and Robbin nearby to soothe our tongue... Hehe!

Tibetan Kitchen

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
