โ€Œโ€ŒThe Best Thing We Ate โญ๏ธ

The best thing we ate this week were the birria tacos from Al Pastor. Limited serves are available every day, so get in early for these!

Birria tacos on a plate
๐ŸŒฎ Beef birria street tacos with consomme $22

The consomme with the birria tacos were *chefs kiss*.

Close up of fish tacos
๐Ÿ  Baja fish street tacos $24 - 4x small corn tortillas, salsa verde, onion, coriander GF, battered flathead fillets, pickled cabbage, guac & aioli

Al Pastor also serve up our favourite fish tacos too. Each taco comes with a generous serve of fish.

Hand lifting up chicken quesadillas
๐Ÿ— Chipotle chicken quesadilla - grilled flour tortilla, 3 blend cheese, onion, coriander, salsa verde, chipotle marinated chicken & creama

We're not too brave when it comes to spice, but we'll probably give their chicken diablo a shot next time, as it'll probably pair well with the cheesy goodness in quesadillas.

What We Ate ๐Ÿด

Simply Life House

Paige managed to discover Simply Life House in Myaree (towards the back), so we visited for lunch on Saturday. Simply Life House can be described as a "cha chaan teng" which is a Hong Kong style cafe. Expect eclectic but delicious dishes here.

Plate with egg, sausage, toast, a bowl of macaroni and ham soup and a tea cup
๐Ÿฑ Set A - scrambled egg, sausage, butter toast, ham macaroni (creamy base) & tea $10

Paige opted for their breakfast Set A (until 11 am) which was crazy good value!

๐Ÿฅฉ Beef brisket ramen in borsch $18

I opted for something beefier (no pun intended). It as my first time trying Borsch which reminded me of my parent's ox tail soup. A super hearty soup for sure.

Bibra Lake Lunch Bar

๐Ÿ Pork meat ball BMT $10

We were in the area for the second week in a row and grabbed banh mi for lunch. From a value perspective, I think you probably get more bang for you buck with their roasted pork belly or traditional BMT options. But having said said, the pork meat ball BMT was simple with the ingredients, which really allowed you to enjoy each individual element.

JMT Kitchen

We were in the city over the weekend and were craving a "pre-lunch-snack", so we decided to pop into JMT Kitchen. You'll also find tteokbokki and Korean fried chicken wings on their menu.

๐ŸŒญ JMT hot dog $8 - cheese & sausage

The Korean street dog has half cheese (top) and sausage (bottom).

Oh So Deli!

Hand holding two sandwiches
๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ Cubano $18 - smoked ham, mojo pork, Swiss cheese, jalapeno pickle relish & honey mustard aioli & ๐Ÿฅช Reuben $18 - corned silverside, pickles, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese & Oh So Deli sauce

It was a toss-up between Al Pastor's birria tacos or Oh So Deli's Cubano sandwich for the Best Thing We Ate. We've been craving Cubanos since our visit to Canberra's Selli's (RIP) and of course, after watching Jon Favreau's Chef. Boy oh boy, did the cubano here hit the spot ๐Ÿคค. The Reuben was delicious as well - but Artem still serves up our fave Reuben. We inhaled both sandwiches despite only snacking on JMT Kitchen's hot dog half an hour earlier.

Krunchy

๐Ÿฅ” Potato Krunchy $9.5 - half cheese half sausage, coated with batter, potato pieces & panko breadcrumbs

To wrap up our Sunday of eating, we swung by Myaree (again) as we were craving sausages. For Korean street dogs, our preference is probably Krunchy due to the different coating options. We're looking forward to returning to Krunchy to try out more of their stuff - especially their tteokbokki!
