A Canberra foodie's adventures
As part of Good Food Month, Silo Bakery in Kingston is holding a 3-course set lunch menu for $38. This offer is available Tuesday to Saturday lunch during the month of October. I was greeted at the door and shown to a table. The set lunch menu was explained to me and includes either a […] Read more…
Saigon Foodies opened up about 3 weeks ago in Kingston’s Green Square. The signage outside implies the place is all about Vietnamese street food. I was excited to see a picture of a banh mi! The inside is very small (I actually don’t remember what used to be here?) with only 5 small tables in […] Read more…
A friend and I caught up for dinner one night at Wilbur’s Cafe Bar in Hackett. Located at the Hackett shops, you get an immediate pub-vibe when walking through the door with TV screens playing the latest game in the front room. The back room is a tad dark, mainly because of the dark grey […] Read more…
I came across this lunch and dinner specials sign as I walked past the Woden Bus Interchange. An $8 rice and curry sounded like a good deal. The cafe was empty when I arrived (around 12 noon) and there was no one to be seen. I could hear someone out the back and called out […] Read more…
I was looking forward to having dinner at Wood & Coal Spit & Bar at the Canberra Centre with V last weekend. Wood & Coal, located opposite Jamie’s Italian and replacing Babar’s, is the latest BBQ/wood fire/grill based eatery to open up joining the likes of Smoque, Hopscotch, Ox Eatery, and Blackfire. As the name […] Read more…
Tucked away on the corner of Mort and Bunda Street in the city, is newly opened Superfine Cafe serving coffee, breakfast and lunch. Some signage out the front gives you an indication of the types of goodies sold here. Did you know that both owners are Olympians? Zuzana, who competed in the 2008 Beijing Olympics […] Read more…
The Merchant Deli & Cafe at the Kingston Foreshore is having its soft opening this weekend. A limited selection of items on the menu is available to try out with the full menu being launched this Tuesday. Walking past outside, you can’t help but notice the brightly coloured glossy tiles along the back wall and […] Read more…
The XY Dim Sim Dumpling House which used to be in Deakin has relocated to the Italo Club in Forrest. All you can eat yum cha is $20.80 per person on the weekend. I organised weekend yum cha here with a group of friends (six of us in total). You have to be a member […] Read more…
Penny University in Kingston is one of my favourite spots for brunch so I decided to write a compilation of my brunches since the beginning of the year. Let’s start with the blueberry and ricotta hotcakes ($16). This was impressive – more like one hotcake but it was one massive THICK hotcake. I was really […] Read more…
Walt and Burley recently introduced its weekend breakfast menu. There was talk about it opening for breakfast after it had settled in to the Kingston Foreshore so I was super excited to try it out. Love the idea of brunch by the lakeside in Spring. The one page menu has enough to satisfy most people […] Read more…
