Smoked Paprika

Smoked Paprika, Paddington
It is on rare occasions that we get to leave the house and have brunch especially with the little one! Gosh, I miss my good old times when I can just go out and have brunch without trying to find the right time aka not a nap time, baby is not cranky or tired, etc...

Well, once we hopped into the car, we drove to Ashgrove/Paddington and made our way to the undercover parking for Smoked Paprika. Despite being a weekend, thankfully it was not busy (because it will not be fun for a baby to wait). As it was close to lunch time, we ordered one meal from the breakfast menu and one from the lunch menu.

My well deserving coffee aka flat white was just perfect and I could not be happier. Mr's smoothie of strawberries and banana hit the spot as well!

Looking through the menu, I just could not skip past the baked eggs with chorizo and feta cheese. My taste buds began to tingle just looking at the dish! It was creamy, tomato-ey, cheesy and everything you wanted in baked eggs (that is right, runny egg yolk!). I tried deciphering the ingredients in the dish but had some trouble identifying some.. wondering whether there was some sort of mushrooms? Anyhow, it was delicious.

On the other hand, Mr had the chicken pasta with pumpkin, sundried tomatoes and pesto. Mind you, although it sounded simple, it was perfect! Even LO had few bites and we were excited (as she was not keen on solids despite around 9 months then).

The service in Smoked Paprika was friendly and warm. Our waitress cleaned the baby chair with anti-septic cleaner/spray prior to handling it to us. Thank you for the thoughtful gesture and I am sure we will return in the future. Can't wait!

Tibetan Kitchen, West End Finally, I have the time to catch up on blogging! Yay! After a sweaty and tired workout in Urban Climb for an indoor rock-climbing (more than a month ago!) , the five of us made our way to Tibetan Kitchen for a late dinner. It was a Friday night and there was people bustling around Trang and its neighbour, Tibetan Kitchen. Haven't had the taste or any clues about Tibetan food, we were lucky because one of our company had spent his time in Tibet for a month. He did warned us beforehand that the food here wasn't as authentic as the food in Tibet though.  Anyway, after much contemplation, we ordered: Pakhora Onion Baje - 6.90 Crispy fried onion patties served with yoghurt & cucumber sauce The pakhora was all right. It could be better with more onions maybe? Namcheko Momo - $8.90 Typical Tibetan style meat dumplings served with homemade tomato chutney Even though these dumplings looked like Chinese/Japanese dumplings

  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
