A Canberra foodie's adventures
Note: I was invited to try Super Bao in Woden, however all opinions are my own. My last blog post on Super Bao was nearly 3 years ago when they opened their Dickson restaurant. Since then, Super Bao have expanded into Verity Lane in the city, and now with a shipping container in Woden. The […] Read more…
I thought I’d put together a list of small home bakeries around Canberra that I’ve ordered from or come across the last few months. There are certainly a lot that have popped up! In no particular order: Doughnut Girls I initially posted a bit about Doughnut Girls in my Lockdown Discoveries blog post. I’ve tried […] Read more…
The newest eatery to open at the Kingston shops, is Onzieme, headed by Louis Couttoupes who had a pop-up a few doors down.

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…
Lebanese bakery and cafe, Al Manoosh, is a popular cafe with the locals and the Lebanese community. It was great to see this small cafe packed with everyone enjoying the cuisine. The menu includes breakfast items like foul and shakshuka, and there are plenty of Lebanese pizzas in different categories such as meat, labne, eggs, […] Read more…
