A Canberra foodie's adventures
After raving about my first time breakfasting at Gozleme Cafe to work mates a couple of weeks ago, we organised to have lunch there one weekday. A selection of gozleme and borek were ordered to share between the four of us. Forks and knives were provided by the wait staff, however no plates were given, […] Read more…
Feeling slightly peckish before heading to the movies at Westfield Belconnen, I spotted some sweet dumplings at Tasuke located on the ground floor just opposite Coles. All $2 each in their own box, I tried the tiramisu dumpling and Sakura rice dumpling. These are kind of similar to mochi with the use of sticky glutinous […] Read more…
I’ve been wanting to try out Gozleme Cafe ever since its big signs went up on London Circuit (close to UniPub) in the city. Gozleme Cafe is only open Monday to Friday for breakfast and lunch. If you don’t work in the city, it can be difficult to find an excuse to visit. I saw […] Read more…
CBD Dumpling House opened up a couple of weeks ago at the Canberra Centre. Another new restaurant in the North Quarter after Jamie’s Italian, Papparich and Hero Sushi. I absolutely love dumplings so I headed in for a weekday lunch with my partner. The entrance is in between two buildings (at Scott’s Crossing), just up […] Read more…
During the Christmas shutdown period, I decided it was time to shop around for a new mattress. Halfway through browsing the many mattress shops in Fyshwick, I drove past Elaine’s Gourmet Pies (located at the bend of Wollongong Street) which was the only food shop open during that period. The sign claims these are award […] Read more…
One of my work colleagues walked into work with a coffee cup that I didn’t recognise. I asked where he got his coffee from and he told me it’s the best place in Woden for coffee – Urban Bean Espresso Bar, located in the Department of Health building. He loves it because Urban Bean uses […] Read more…
So I’ve heard all this buzz around the Vietnamese street food stall, Roll’d, set up in the Canberra Centre food court. I was going to order the pho but it was a pretty hot day, so I thought a cold pork banh mi (Vietnamese pork roll) would go down better. I ordered the classic pork […] Read more…
On the drive home after our summer weekend in Thredbo, my partner introduced me to Sundance Bakehouse and Tea rooms in Nugget’s Crossing, Jindabyne. His family always buy up on the amazing meat pies and take them back to Canberra. This place has apparently won many awards for their pies so I was happy and […] Read more…
Autolyse, a popular bakery and cafe in Braddon, is a place I’ve been meaning to check out for nearly a year. I always hear great things about it but just never managed to get down there. I finally got some time to go early in the New Year. I had a look at the website […] Read more…
Some friends and I headed back to Papparich for dinner one weeknight. We got there at 6pm, however all diners must be present before a table is provided (I’m thinking that might only be the case on weekends). There was quite a queue from 6 and we only waited about 20 minutes after all diners […] Read more…
