LuCha Kitchen + Bar

LuCha Kitchen + Bar, Brisbane CBD
The old Elizabeth Arcade has been transformed to a 'FudoDori' meaning food street and LuCha is one of the first few to set foot in this lane. I have got no idea re this place until I suggested to Mr let walk past this area and see what is new.

LuCha has an opening offer that time which include 'Buy 1 drink and get the second one free'. Intrigued, we both went inside for lunch that day. While it may be busy that day, I thought the service was still prompt and friendly.

Looking through the menu, there are definitely a variety on the list ranging from different kind of rice or noodle dishes. I was definitely tempted to order their Signature LuCha Roast Chicken dish but worried that the servings size may be too big for the two of us.

In the end, we opted for their 'Seafood Laksa' which came with a variety of seafood including prawns, mussels, fish cakes and fish balls. The serving size was decent but thought the soup base was not as strong as I like. It tasted quite watery and missing the supposed creaminess in a laksa.

Our other main is the 'Roasted pork with rice' and while the portion size was adequate; the roast pork was quite fatty. I have had better roast pork and this was just average unfortunately.

As for our drinks, we had the rose milk tea which was not too bad, there was hint of rose in there. Our lychee drink was refreshing and not overly sweet.

I think there is potential for Lucha but we just ordered the wrong dish that day. I think the Signature LuCha Roast Chicken sounds very promising.

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 ...
