Rogue Bar + Bistro, Newstead
I have heard good reviews about Rogue Bar + Bistro from few people and their enthusiasm about this place has certainly sparked my interest. Together with MXM, we both visited Newstead, another quiet industrial looking neighbourhood. We arrived around 11.30 am and breakfast service has finished.

So, we had lunch instead. The menu is easy and simple, and you choose your preference of 'lamb', 'pork', 'beef' and 'chicken' etc. The settings in Rogue Bistro is simple and I like it. We sat just outside the kitchen and I knew our food is coming because of the aroma!

Their coffee are from Blue Sky and I had the usual skinny flat white while MXM had his long black. Asking about coffee? Ask MXM as he is an expert. I think the coffee was all right.

Skinny Flat White

I was intrigued by the 'pork' so I chose that. The pork was cooked to just well done, served on a bed of green beans and corns, with sweet potato or pumpkin puree. Sorry, I could not remember whether it was sweet potato or pumpkin (as it has been near a month now since I visited Rogue!) but the puree was smooth and light.

Besides that, there was some tomato salsa as well. Overall, I like this dish. It was very well presented on the wooden 'plate' and the flavour combinations were good and well-balanced.

MXM had the version of fried chicken! I was pretty jealous of his dish. The crispy and tender chicken bites were marinated really well and then fried to perfection!

His meal came with chilli mayo and potato 'chips' with some salad. It does sound like a simple dish with 'fried chicken and chips' but they tasted delicious. Before we start eating, I was already salivating because the meals smelled so good! Ahaha.. I got quite a sensitive olfactory receptor when it comes to food. ;)

I am hoping to visit this place again!

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 ...
