PourBoy Espresso, Brisbane CBD

I have been itching to go somewhere for breakfast and I know that PourBoy Espresso has been 'Talk of the Town' for ages. The night before I asked G whether she has been to PourBoy and what would she recommend? Coincidentally, she said that she is going to PourBoy too in the morning. Yay! *Hungry minds think alike*

So, we made our way to PourBoy at about 9.15 am. G told me beforehand, the cafe is very simple and don't expect too much about their settings. She's right! It looks kinda plain but the workers there are very friendly. Known for their good coffee (G concur!), I ordered flat white and G, her usual cappuccino.

Skinny Flat white - $4

Cappuccino - $4
As confirmed by G (better coffee expert than I am), the coffees were good. They were smooth and strong. Near morning tea, you can see a throng of officeworkers waiting for their coffees. Oh man, I feel so underdressed in that cafe; most people with their officewear...

For breakfast meals, I ordered the 'Croque Madame':
Croque Madame - $12
with melted Swiss cheese, shaved Bangalow ham, poached egg and Dijonaisse
The poached egg was served as shown in the pic! Somehow, the chef has sliced it up for me ... * no element of surprise* now if the egg is poached perfectly. It does seem that the egg was a little undercooked to me. Oh well! G said that I should try this dish and she had tried it before and she likes it. I wasn't too crazy about this meal, maybe because of the Dijonaisse sauce (I'm not a big fan of mustard).

G ordered the 'House Made Granolas':
House Made Granolas - $10
with Early Grey Prunes and Pears
Yum! Both of us like this dish... hehe, I keep on stealing some from G's meal to try. Not sure what's in the granola but as I remembered there's rolled oats, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and maybe nuts; all coated with honey. They were crunchy and the sweetness was just right.

We wanted to get some brioche but too bad they don't have them that day. G said that they are really good. Next time I'll definitely return for their coffee, mixed berry muffins ($3.50) and their brioche!

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
