Foxy Bean, Woolloongabba

My first post for 2013! 

I would like to finish up my review for my birthday dinner celebration last year but I am a little lazy right now... So, it will just be Foxy Bean for now, which I visited with AQ after our exams.

Foxy Bean, quite a nice cafe, is located around the corner of Stanley street facing just opposite to Paw Paw cafe (which I visited the following week). Which is better? You have to wait and read about it. 

Since it was on a weekday, we get to choose our own seats and service was good. We ordered our usual drinks; skinny flat white for me and chocolate milk shake for AQ.

For our breakfast/brunch, AQ who prefers sweet to savoury meal, ordered the French toast with maple syrup and berry compote. He commented that they were pretty good...

 As for myself, I ordered 'Eggs Benedict'! It has been months since I last had Eggs Benedict and I gave myself the opportunity to try their hollandaise sauce, which is pretty good. I chose their 'Foxy Beans' to go with my meal instead of the bacon or ham. That turned out to be a wise decision.

The beans were cooked nicely with unknown formulas of herbs and spices. Not too bad! and the eggs were poached to perfection (another important factor).

I may be back one day Foxy Bean!

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
