Jetty Cafe, Redcliffe

Not too long ago (well, it was last year actually), we bought a voucher to dine at Jetty Cafe at a value of around $45 for two-course dinner meals for two people. So, was it a good deal?

Let's see...

On a Sunday night, SaC and myself went all the way to Redcliffe for dinner. Luckily, the weather was not that bad and we had the chance to stroll along the jetty area before dinner. We were promptly seated to our pre-booked table and the service was nothing to complain about.

So, with the deal, we had two entrees and two mains. To get us started, we chose garlic bread and fried calamari among the dips, haloumi or even oysters! I am not a big fan of oysters yet.

Garlic Bread - $8
The garlic bread ($8) is actually made of pizza bread; more like a pizza dough to me. I was expecting a toasted bread but their garlic bread was soft and dough-y. Not too bad.

Fried Calamari -$12

Their fried calamari ($12) was served with rocket salad and caper mayo. Nicely cooked, still tender and not chewy... Yum!


For the mains, I already have my eye on the pork belly. It has been a while since I last had pork belly. The premium bangalow roast pork belly ($27) was served on potato and celeriac puree with bok choy and apple glaze.

Roast Pork Belly -$27

I had a bite of the pork crackle and it was crunchy. Tick!
The meat was really tender and full of flavour. Another tick!
Unfortunately, the potato and celeriac puree was seriously too salty for me and I could not finish them. One thing I found was that there were just too much sauce/soup which I think is a bit too much. Otherwise, it was quite a good meal.

Fillet mignon

On the other hand, SaC ordered the fillet mignon. We paid extra $5 to upgrade it to 'reef and beef' meal. It was a huge meal... 300gm premium eye fillet wrapped with bacon accompanied with potato galette, green vegetables and seafood of prawns and calamari. I am quite jealous as I am typing this right now, comparing them with what I have for dinner tonight. ;) The meal must be near excellent, SaC finished all of them!

Overall, the food in Jetty Cafe was pretty good, above average for sure. The ambience was nice and the service was excellent. We went home contented, with a bottle of wine (included in the deal).

Toowoomba

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...

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

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...
