A Canberra foodie's adventures
Ms Ba Co is one of the vendors at the Majura Park shopping centre food court (Woolworths entrance) selling all sorts of Vietnamese street food. We had just bought some groceries and walked past Ms Ba Co to head back to the car. I saw various $8 banh mi’s on the menu and suggested we […] Read more…
After flying in from Hong Kong, Mr FPJ and I stayed in Taipei for six nights. Taipei was a last minute addition to our trip. We were trying to find another destination in between Hong Kong and our next destination, Thailand. I’m always happy to explore a new country but didn’t know what to expect. […] Read more…
Another eatery to join the Mayfair/No Name Lane precinct in Acton/Canberra City, is Wild Panda specialising in Sichuan/Chongqing noodles. When we dined in, there were only three laminated A3 menus at the counter. The menu listed some appetisers, noodle soups, noodles without soup, and handmade dumplings. We started off with the house dumplings in chicken […] Read more…
Co Bar in Dickson advertises itself as a Chinese charcoal BBQ restaurant. There were two people busily basting some meat skewers and rotating other items on a stick on the charcoal BBQ situated by the front window. The charcoal BBQ section of the menu has been split into four parts – A to D. A […] Read more…
White Chaco introduces a Taiwanese/Japanese based menu to Lonsdale Street in Braddon. The eatery is small, only fitting about 20 – 25 people. Items on the menu include small bites such as Taiwanese popcorn chicken, dumplings and sashimi, with mains such as ramen, stew, curry and unagi. When I saw truffle ramen on the menu, […] Read more…
Following on from Eating in Hong Kong Part 1 and Part 2… We got up early to visit the Big Buddha on Lantau Island. To get there, we had to purchase tickets on the Ngong Ping cable car and I was really thankful that we’d purchased them online from Klook. When we arrived at station, […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine as a guest of Momoda and the Australian Good Food Guide, however all opinions are my own. Momoda, a Chinese slang term for ‘kiss-kiss’, quietly opened up in the Melbourne Building in Civic a couple of months ago. A more laid-back sister restaurant of the upmarket Wild Duck in […] Read more…
After leaving the Maldives, we flew into Hong Kong for seven nights. After checking into our hotel in Sheung Wan at lunch time, I knew my first meal in Hong Kong was going to be yum cha. I wanted to experience traditional old-school yum cha and had read that Lin Heung Tea House (open since […] Read more…
Some friends and I had dinner at Rogane Chimac, a small Korean restaurant in Dickson. I have walked past Rogane Chimac countless times and was happy to finally dine in on a cold night. There were a few people already dining in, and by the look of it, they were all Korean which can’t be […] Read more…
On a weekday, I went into Raku at the Canberra Centre to celebrate a friend’s birthday for lunch. The décor is a sleek and modern version of a Japanese restaurant with dim lighting inside to provide a sense of intimacy. There were 5 of us that ordered the $40 express set lunch while the other […] Read more…
