Shucked Coffee House @ Newstead & Chouquette Patisserie Cafe @ New Farm

What's breakfast for Saturday? With no doubt we will shout out: B R U N C H! Ahahaha, so Saturday has definitely become our brunch day.  

I felt so thankful that I have a friend who shares the same passion on food.  Both of us love brunch to the max!  And our goal is to visit all the brunch cafes in Brisbane.  This sounds impossible, but we know we can make it comes true one day. 

Last Saturday's stop was at Shucked Coffee House.  We've been talking about this cafe since months ago and finally we made our way there!  It was a really hot morning and the cafe was quite stuffy inside.

And we ordered some cold drinks to kick start the day! I had the coconut & mango smoothies and she had the strawberries milkshake.  Mine was tasteless when I had the first sip, but it turned out to be REAL GOOD at the end.  However, both of us couldn't stand the sweetness of the strawberries milkshake - sweetness overload.

I decided to have something light so this is it! Mixed vegetables salad with grilled haloumi and poached eggs. I love that beetroot relish!

(I love beetroot to the max)

And yes, apparently baked eggs is her favourite. 

After that, we did window shopping along James Street, Fortitude Valley to help digesting the food before the dessert session!

Then, we headed to Chouquette Patisserie @ New Farm for dessert! 

Forgot its name, it's like mousse cake with nuts in between. The salted caramel macadamia was really nice. Crunchy, sweet plus a hint of bitter.

I'm not a big fan of tarts: I'll give a 7 out of 10 for this tart anyways, for it's not too sweet & there's pistachio! But the pastry was too hard for me!
