Deery's Restaurant and Smokehouse

Deery's Restaurant and Smokehouse, Kangaroo Point
It is better late than never! Well, when it comes to blogging it seems that I have a cycle of stagnancy (due to work obligation) and the engine starts to rev again when I have some free time...

Mr and myself visited Deery's Restaurant back in February for early Valentine's Day celebration. With the in-laws looking after Grace, we took this opportunity to treat ourselves to hopefully some good food and let's see how our visit went at the Deery's.

One of Mr's favourite food is oysters and we ordered some that night. We went with both the natural oysters and the Kilpatrick version (for me). They were indeed fresh and lovely, and Mr was so satisfied (he certainly wished he ordered more!). Another of Mr's favourite is duck liver pate, and when he saw that on the menu, he could not resist it at all. Poor me, just watching him devoured the whole pate of his own and he was just smiling throughout.

Not missing out on entree for myself, we also ordered the 'Pork Belly Lettuce Cups' which came with asian slaw, tomato and chilli jam. I love it! It was well balanced, and the lettuce and asian slaw added some freshness to the pork belly. 

Now to our mains... My weakness is definitely 'Leg Duck Confit' and I can never say no to it. Apparently in Chinese culture, we are not supposed to consume duck meat when you are pregnant (not sure why), but I still went ahead with it which I did not regret at all. The meat was so tender and flavourful. It was a perfect dish for me pairing it together with morcilla sausage, mash, lentils and orange marmalade (a hint of it).

Mr's choice was the 'Rib fillet' cooked to medium, paired with potato and rosemary terrine, peas and bacon, with his usual mushroom sauce. Again, another excellent meal from Deery's and Mr could not be happier.

Good chips!

We were certainly very full after our banquet at Deery's but luckily we had to walk some distance back to our car. Parking there can be quite miserable at times and we had to go a few rounds to find some street parking. The service at Deery's was attentive at first but once they got busy, it was sometimes difficult to get the staff's attention. 

PS: We used the entertainment book voucher and looking forward to visiting this place again in the future!

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 ...
