Bishamon, Spring Hill

Pre-graduation, we invited the Lin sisters to have dinner with my mother and brother who came over to Brisbane. Both Lin's mom and my mom are best friends since their high school and we had great time listening to their childhood stories. Ahaha... some that are not known to Lin!

I have visited Bishamon with MXM for my birthday last year and I really enjoyed this place. We made a booking and made our way there! Street parkings are plenty after working hours. Ordering can be tricky as there are so many choices to choose from! Just note that the servings here are quite big so sharing is recommended.

First up, we had the 'Prawn kinusaya' for entree.

Prawn Kinusaya - $15

 It is stir fried prawns and snow peas in a lettuce cup. The prawns were juicy and fresh. Delicious! 

Following that, we tried another of their chef's recommendation the 'B-roll'; which are rolled sushi with salmon, egg, cucumber and avocado.

8 pieces $18
We all enjoyed the sushi. What not to like? When all my favourites (avocado, egg and salmon) are combined together! Oiishi! Check out the intricate carving of that little mouse...

For the mains, we ordered the salmon shoyu, chicken teriyaki and yaki udon to share. The salmon and chicken came with miso soup and rice.

The servings in Bishamon are really generous. My favourite among the three would have to be the Yaki Udon (Ahaha, I had that last year). Underneath the huge pile of stir fried udon, lies a bed of fried eggs. The noodles were cooked really well with the prawns, cuttle fish and strip like bacon/pork. The salmon pieces were cooked to perfection and I just found the chicken teriyaki to be a little sweet. The salads were fresh and good accompaniment to the meals.

I cannot deny that I've got sweet tooth! So we had their green tea ice cream and one of the specials of the day..... The banana fritters were amazing! The banana was deep fried till golden brown and coated with sugar, served with some vanilla ice cream. It was good because the batter was so crunchy and the cold ice cream compliments the warm fried banana...

Green tea ice cream - $4.50

The green tea ice cream with red bean did not disappoint too. It had strong green tea flavour and the ice cream was smooth and creamy. Yum! 

Overall, we had a really enjoyable time in Bishamon eating and catching up. Bishamon serves generous portion of the main meals and the food is good. I will be back! :)

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
