Fix Restaurant & Wine Bar

Fix Restaurant & Wine Bar, Brisbane CBD
A catch-up date with SaC brought us both to Fix Restaurant from his surprise reservation. My orientation in the city is still poor and I was whizzed to this busy looking bar and restaurant with their separate entrance respectively.

 After ordering our main meals, we noticed that the waitress did not introduce us the specials of the day in comparison to our next table neighbours. A little disappointed with their service but I think their food made the visit worthwhile.

 First off, we had the organic sourdough with olive oil and balsamic.

I am not a bread expert but I do feel the lack of sourness and the dense-ness that I expect from a sourdough bread. The well-toasted bread that we had was much lighter. 

While SaC ordered one of the 'Char Grill' section, I had their local Moreton bay bug meat with fresh pappardelle, chilli, garlic and tarragon butter.

Yum! Yum! Yum! The Moreton bay bug was cooked to perfection and the pasta al dente, all coated well by the creamy sauce. It can be quite a heavy meal but luckily SaC was around to help me finish them.

SaC asked for my advice regarding which cuts he should try and I said wagyu (even though I have not try it myself!). I think it was a good choice. He commented that the meat was really tender and soft.

His wagyu was cooked to perfection to his request. My eyes wandered towards his chips because they looked crispy and they certainly tasted crispy! The food was enjoyable and we both had good time.

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 ...
