Ponycat, New Farm It has been a while since my last visit to Ponycat, and together with hubby, we visited this cafe ( a few months ago now ). It was not busy when we got there, and finally after browsing the chalk-board menu, we made our choices promptly. It was quite easy to decide and we opted for the av ocado with toast; as well as the fritters. While hubby is ste ering clear from caffeine, I ordered a chai tea to start with. I remembered my previous chai tea here and have al ways been a fa n. Their addition of cinnamon added more flavour to the chai tea. Chai Tea Soon after, our meals arrived. Hubby had the av ocado and feta on t oasts while I had the fritters, corn and poached eggs. The addition of pomegranate certainly added a sweet c runchy texture to the avo c ado toasts. My poached eggs were cooked to perfection and I certainly enjoyed the sweetness of the corn with the sauce on the fritters. Avocado, feta and pomegranate on toasts Poached eggs, corn and fr...

The Journey to the West!  It took less than 2 hours to Toowoomba (largest non-capital inland city) from Brisbane. Together with AQ, we were on the way to visit MXM. The weather wasn't promising with the grey clouds on the horizon. Anyway, first pit-stop: Engine Room Cafe Once in Toowoomba, MXM took control of the wheel and brought us sight-seeing. The 'city' is tiny in comparison to Brisbane! To fill our hungry tummies, we had brunch in Engine Room Cafe, with a souvenir shop attached to it.  We ordered at the counter and had a skinny flat white. I think the coffee was OK, I wasn't really a big fan of it.  Flat White - $3.70 AQ had French toast. He wiped clean his plate. I'm assuming it's good. French Toast As for myself, I ordered the Eggs Benedict. Eggs Benedict - $15 Poached eggs, hollandaise sauce with mushrooms and toast It's definitely not the best Eggs Benedict that I had. The hollandaise sauce was too...

  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...
