A Canberra foodie's adventures
The popular Short Eats van opened a cafe in Woden a few months ago. I never got a chance to try the van (too far away from me) so I was excited to try the cafe. There’s much to choose from the menu. I pick the three house made curries with roti ($18). Two of […] Read more…
A few months ago, my friend and I had lunch at No. 9 Palace in Dickson. Previously Chic Gourmet, the same owners have rebranded it into No. 9 Palace to provide a more upmarket offering to the Dickson community. We start with some iced milk tea, mainly because it comes with these super cute teddy […] Read more…
It’s nearly mid-autumn (Northern hemisphere time) / moon cake festival time. (For info, here’s a previous post about what a moon cake is and a little bit more about the festival). Are you searching to buy some moon cakes too? Every year, I always get in too late and there’s nothing left. Unlike my parents, […] Read more…
Note: I was invited as a guest to Yori, however all opinions are my own. Yori Fusion Bento serves a fusion of Japanese and Westernised dishes. Started by two Korean brothers from different mothers, Jayden and Derek are raising the bar of the traditional Japanese bento by combining modern Asian and Australian flavours. There are […] Read more…
Earlier in the year, my foodie friends and I celebrated Lunar New Year’s Eve at SoupStone. Located at the Australian National University near the bus station, it can be easy to walk past and miss it. When we arrive, the table is set up and ready with two high chairs, plastic cutlery, plates and cups […] Read more…
Since its shipping container days, the return of Miss Van’s has been highly anticipated. Now set up in Civic, the restaurant is difficult to get in to without a booking. I thought it was a good opportunity to book lunch here for my birthday earlier in the year. I like that the online booking form […] Read more…
Myanmar Corner at the Casey shops is a little gem of a restaurant. I’ve dined here only about 3 times as it’s located quite far from me – I wish it was closer! Let’s start with an entree. I love anything duck. So when I see shredded duck and onion puffs ($9 for three pieces) […] Read more…
As we navigate the new normal living with COVID, I’ve been trying to find eateries that aren’t packed with people inside. I’m happy to find that Sonamu Korean has plenty of dining spaces inside and out. Standing outside, it doesn’t look like a big space. However there are tables out the front, a front indoor […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to try out the new bingsu range, however all opinions are my own. Super Emoji is known for its bubble teas and iced drinks, mini cake boxes, souffle and various filled choux pastries. There’s a lot more on offer at the City Walk megastore. Late last year, Super Emoji introduced its […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine in at Zhangliang Malatang, however all opinions are my own. I always walked past Zhangliang Malatang in Acton but never had a chance to dine in, so I was eager to try it out when I received an invite from them. We’re lucky we got there early-ish, around 12 […] Read more…
