Jacaranda Coffee Lane, West End
Last term, we enrolled Grace at Queensland Ballet and enrolled her in the Early Years Dance class, which she seems to enjoy. As we will be quite busy these coming months with a new addition, we decided to stop and hopefully restart again next term. As part of a celebration that she completed a term, we decided to have breakfast at Jacaranda Coffee Lane, after a visit at the West End Library! (Yes, trying to find excuse to eat out... )

We were thankful to have seats readily available that morning, and the service was prompt and friendly. I noted that there are some colouring pens/crayons available and Grace was happy to do some colouring (well, attempted to). The menu here is so interesting with some Asian influence and I could not wait to dig in! They also have kids meal available and ordered the 'Scrambled Eggs on cheesy toast' ($6.50) for Grace. Among other cafes, I think Jacaranda has the best value for kids meal.

Her scrambled eggs were generous for kids meal and Grace almost finished all of them. We usually request for her meals to arrive first and then for our meals to arrive, so that she will not be distracted by ours.

The Mr had the 'Jacaranda Signature Big Breakfast' ($18.50) that came with hash brown, roasted mushrooms, grilled tomato, tomato chutney, baked beans and eggs of your liking (scrambled for us); as well as choosing one of the main proteins - either bacon & chorizo, Taiwanese sausage & smoked pork belly or haloumi cheese & spinach. We opted for the combo of taiwanese sausage and smoked pork belly, which turns out to be an excellent choice.

As for myself, it was either the 'Crab omelette and potato' versus the 'Pla Goong - Chilli and Garlic King Prawn' and in the end, chose the former. This came with wrapped prawns on turkish bread with some drizzle of crab and prawn meat sauce, rice crisps and fried shallots. In honesty, I thought this was one of the best breakfast I had! Love the flavour of the sauce, and the crab meat was fresh and generous. Love it!

As I am staying away from coffee throughout the pregnancy, I ordered their black sesame drink which was very well balanced and not overly sweet. A tick from me!

After we have finished our meals, they gave us complimentary fruit dessert which I thought was very thoughtful. Jacaranda Coffee Lane is definitely worth a visit if you can!

Tibetan Kitchen

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
