Bam Bam Bakehouse, Gold Coast

I am probably one of the last foodie to have tried Bam Bam Bakehouse! It has been on my wish list for a very long time, and one day Mr suggested we go to the coast since we are both not working over the weekend. It is a rare opportunity and I told him we must visit Bam Bam. Hehe! 

We used GPS to navigate ourselves there and the bakehouse is situated in a fairly interesting location, next to a children's park and playground (bonus!). Parking can be quite tricky until we realised we could have parked next to the playground from the back. It was already quite packed when we got there in the morning, but thankfully still have seats available.

Their menu does seem to have some Asian influenced such as the 'Egg nasi, karaage chicken burger or even the pork belly banh mi' which in hindsight, I probably should have ordered one of them. 

Are you a Barbie or a Mermaid fan? I ended up ordering the Barbie hot chocolate which consisted of rose and white chocolate and loved it! Loved the pinkish colour and most importantly the hint of rose. Yum!

Anyhow, back to us! I know they are famous for their pastry so I ordered a plain croissant with their house preserve for Grace. She just had a few bites and then pushed it away. Maybe I have been spoilt by Hugs on Days, and I thought their croissant is better? Bam Bam's plain croissant was more soft and not as crispy.

I ordered the 'Bam Bam Benny' for the Mr, and it came with tarragon hollandaise with quite a generous amount of ham. The eggs were poached to perfection, still runny and overall a decent meal.

As for myself, I tried their 'Sweetcorn Fritters' - Jalapeno and queso fresco sweetcorn fritters, poached egg, avocado, baby coriander and chipotle crema. The flavours were simple and on the spot, and you can add more or less of the chipotle crema for different level of spiciness. Overall, quite a good meal.

I could not leave Bam Bam Bakehouse without trying out one of their sweets and pastries from their open display. As I could only choose one, I got this choux pastry as a takeaway, and had it for supper. Very creamy and delicious, and thankfully the sweetness was not over the top.

Bam Bam is certainly a cool place to visit at least once. Their innovative pastries and sweets are definitely worth a try if you stop by. For their meals though, probably just above average for me.

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 ...
