Pine and Bamboo, Cannon Hill
On one of the formal dinner with the family and special guests from Sydney, the Mr organised a get together at Pine and Bamboo, which is famous for their Peking Duck. This restaurant has been established for a long time and it is still standing strong. 

I cannot deny it but I am a big fan of Peking Duck and I would have to agree that this is one of the best one in Queensland. The Peking duck skin is sliced in front of you and they are crispy and nearly 'fat-free'... So moreish!

The Peking duck skin is served with sliced cucumber and spring onions' stalk with their special sauce. One of our guests is a chef, and he commented that the sauce is excellent! I certainly enjoyed my Peking duck wrap!

The Peking duck can be served in two or three courses and we opted for two courses. In our second course, we opted for duck noodles instead of the 'sang choy bow'. They were quite good. As for our other main meals, we had stir fried bok choy with garlic, a seafood basket and 'egg with fish' dish.

I would have to say that our favourite meals (Mr and myself) was the seafood basket. The potato basket was crunchy, and the stir fried seafood (prawns, squid, scallops with vegetables) were simple and delectable.

I am really lucky because I tend to be pampered with dessert... Hehe! Rather than fried ice cream (especially not with the recent scare), we had the red bean pancake. It was not really a 'pancake' but more like a crispy fritter. The pastry was so crispy! 

Well, we certainly had an enjoyable time here. The Peking Duck also the most expensive ones in Brisbane, is good. That is certainly the highlight of the night for us...

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 ...
