Goodness Gracious Cafe, Graceville

Well, hello 2015! Goodness Gracious Cafe was cafe No 1 that I visited in 2015! After a long hiatus and procrastination, I am hoping that I will be able to continue blogging despite my future multiple relocations this year. 

Year 2014 had been daunting at first but it turned out to be exciting and a great learning curve in my life. I made good friends and one of them is ChS. It was time to catch up with him before he embarked his next journey in Western Australia.

It was just a random encounter that I found this cafe. It looked enticing from the outside, hence I suggested ChS to visit this place. We had to wait for about 10-15 minutes before we got seated, thankfully.

It must have been a busy day because our coffees arrived after we finished our meals. The single origin coffee and the cold drip luckily did not disappoint. I do not add sugar to my coffee usually but that day I just had to try their coconut sugar.

Coconut sugar?!?
Reading through the menu, it seemed that the theme of the food relates to the current trend of consuming healthy superfood. The 62 degrees eggs caught my eye, so I chose the smoked salmon. 

Smoked Salmon - $19
The smoked salmon came with sprouted quinoa, shaved asparagus, goats cheese, mustard salad and my highly anticipated 62 degrees eggs. It was my first tastebud sensation of these eggs and they are quite interesting. Lol, I think they are like underdone hard boiled egg but involving both egg white and yolk... Overall, a good meal.

ChS wanted some 'meat', so he ordered the 'Bacon and Eggs' with the addition of mushrooms.


Bacon and Eggs - $12

I think the winner of his meal was the mushrooms. The herbs were flavourful and the mushrooms cooked well. One of his poached eggs was overcooked, but otherwise an excellent dish.

We both really enjoyed our time here in Goodness Gracious Cafe. Certainly a lovely addition to the suburb!

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 ...
