A Canberra foodie's adventures
Note: I was invited to dine in as a guest at Naadam, however all opinions are my own. I was invited to the grand opening of Canberra’s first Mongolian restaurant, Naadam in Phillip. After a light Mongolian BBQ (horhog) of lamb brisket roasted in tallow, served with potato and carrot, there’s some traditional music (using […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine at Kodiak, however all opinions are my own. A couple of months ago, we dined in at Kodiak in Kingston to try out the menu. We opt to sit outside as we have an active toddler with us. For drinks, I order a mocktail and leave it up to […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine in as a guest, however all opinions are my own. Omi hails from Victoria and specialises in premium wagyu rice bowls. We were invited to dine in at Omi at the Canberra Centre for lunch one day. A waitress greets us at the reception desk and shows us to […] Read more…
I’ve had some really yummy desserts lately, so here’s a list of 10 new desserts to try. Du Sel Du Sel Bakery in Narrabundah creates a range of ‘Unreal’ desserts with cakes that look like fruit. The lemon is my favourite with grapefruit, mint and fresh cream inside – oh so refreshing. Rasa Rosa banana […] Read more…
Some friends and I tried high tea at Queen’s Terrace Café located inside Parliament House. After going through security, I head straight to the Information Desk as I have no idea where the café is located. She directs me up the marble staircase and to the left. I must admit that I have a sense […] Read more…
I’ve dined at Korean restaurant Sam Si Sek Kki in Mitchell a few times now so it’s about time I write a post about it. First of all, the entrance is wheel friendly with a ramp and automatic door that opens outwards. Upon entering, there’s a sign that asks us to wait to be seated. […] Read more…
I love tiramisu. So here’s a list of thoughts on Canberra’s tiramisu scene. I know there’s heaps more places to try, I’ll get to them eventually. Disclaimer: The standards of tiramisu may be different depending on the day and depending on who makes them. My opinions may change if I were to go back and […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine at The Marion, however all opinions are my own. I’ve dined at Walter Café at the new establishment at Regatta Point, but had not been to or seen The Marion (next door) until this invitation arose. There’s a reception desk outside the main dining room, where a gentleman in […] Read more…
My friend and I have heard good things about Hachiko in Belconnen, a Japanese fusion restaurant, so we made a lunch date to try it out. It’s a little difficult to find as the entrance is more towards the boardwalk and there isn’t any signage outside that day. In all honesty, it’s easier to choose […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine at Alcove, however all opinions are my own. Have you heard about Alcove? It’s a cosy little bar in Braddon and it has introduced a new concept of 5 canapés matched with cocktails. I am invited to experience Alcove’s new season menu and take a friend along. There’s no […] Read more…
