Lunar Cuisine Restaurant, Sunnybank
Lunar Cuisine is a fairly new restaurant in Sunnybank and we visited this place for dinner a couple of weeks ago with SaC's family. The menu here is seriously like a magazine and you order and tick through the form. Lunar specialises cuisine from a region of China (which I cannot remember or pronounce) but mostly spicy food!

Free tea and congee available from the front section of the restaurant. We tried a number of dishes and the first one was the 'sliced boiled pork with garlic sauce'. I like this dish although the sauce can be quite spicy.

Sliced boiled pork with garlic sauce - $8

Another favourite dish of mine was the 'marinated roasted duck'. The meat was quite tender and marinated well with the soya sauce. I enjoyed it!

Lunar Cuisine has monthly promotion for a specific meal and the meal for that month was  this sweet and sour fish. The special deal was that this fish will be priced according to the day of the month. For example, on the 15th March this dish will be at $15.

The fish was deep fried to perfection and sauce was quite good. Overall I think it was quite a good deal for only $15!

We sampled a few more dishes and one of them is this duck soup with glass noodles with a spicy and sour base. Lots of noodles but very little duck meat.

One of the chef's recommended dish was this claypot soup, that was cooked with prawns, corns, bamboo shoots, pork/fish balls and wanton lookalike that were filled with minced meat. In contrast to other dishes, the soup has its sweetness from the ingredients and certainly not spicy at all!

We had two more dishes (seen in the same photo): the sizzling garlic prawns was one of the recommended dish and it tasted all right. The prawns were quite fresh but pretty small and be ready to get your fingers dirty! The last dish was the pork belly on pickled vegetables. Hmmm...yum! The pork belly was really tender and soft.

Overall, we enjoyed our time, conversation and meals in Lunar Restaurant. It was pretty busy that night and we even had to make a booking....

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 ...
