A Canberra foodie's adventures
Mr FPJ and I had a staycation at Hotel Realm and booked in to the Chairman & Yip across the road for dinner. We were shown to our table and menus and water provided. There is a choice of 2 banquets – 6 courses or 8 courses and we went for the latter at $88 […] Read more…
It was exciting news when the Boat House decided to open its doors for lunch services from Friday to Sunday. A prix fixe lunch menu is offered and diners can choose from either 2 or 3 course options. The best part – not everyone at the table has to have the same number of courses. […] Read more…
Before we had even booked our flights to the UK, but knowing that we would be going, I quickly jumped online to book a table at Heston Blumenthal’s The Fat Duck, three months in advance. Because priorities! We had to prepay for the full meal with the booking which cost 325£ per person. A hefty […] Read more…
When I heard the news that Adelaide’s fine dining establishment and only 3-hatted restaurant Orana would be popping up in Sydney for a month, I created an alarm to alert me of when reservations would open. Orana serves a 22-course degustation for $350 per person. I was surprised that I was able to get a […] Read more…
Whenever we travel overseas, I like to try at least one fine dining experience. The San Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants lists Odette in Singapore as the 28th Best Restaurant in the world (for 2018). I booked us into lunch at Odette during our stay. (Tip: Lunch is usually cheaper than dinner for the same […] Read more…

The $245 dinner consisted of 13 courses and I also went ahead with the matching non-alcoholic drinks for an additional $60. The reservation was for 6pm on the dot, […] Read more…
Last month, my family and I had a dinner at Bistro Guillaume at the Crown Casino Perth. I think it’s my third time dining there, and I’m never disappointed. We had an early evening reservation and sat with a view overlooking the Crown’s pool. Our waiter for the night asked whether we wanted tap or […] Read more…
I couldn’t get into Gaggan in Bangkok (Number 1 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants of 2017 and 2018), so I booked into Nahm (currently Number 10 in Asia’s 50 Best on the list). An online reservation for dinner was made a couple of months prior and the booking confirmed via email. It was a rainy […] Read more…
During our last visit to Melbourne, we were fortunate to dine at Attica (currently ranked 20th in San Pellegrino’s World’s 50 Best Restaurants list) after booking 3 months in advance. It’s been a bucket list restaurant and I was really excited to finally try it. The menu is $295 per person for a 17 course […] Read more…
Since we were in South East Asia, I wanted to hit up some of Asia’s 50 best restaurants. At the time (December 2017), Amber at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental was Number 3 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list. It’s dropped a few places and currently ranked Number 7 in 2018. Also awarded 2 Michelin stars, Amber […] Read more…
