A Canberra foodie's adventures
My friend and I tried out Xi’an Famous Foods in Dickson, a restaurant I’ve walked past several times but never really notice or have plans to go to another restaurant along that strip. Menu items at Xi’an Famous Foods include various cold or hot noodle dishes like biang biang noodles, dumplings, rouguamo/roujiamo (Chinese burgers), meat […] Read more…
China Tea Club in Lyneham is a fancier Chinese restaurant – plush carpet, linen tablecloth, and more sophisticated furniture than your regular cheap and cheerful Chinese spot. I have only dined at China Tea Club once, several years ago, and honestly don’t remember it. So when there was a 50% discount deal on the Fork […] Read more…
Located at the Lyneham shops, The Front Gallery and Café is a spacious spot offering an all day menu. The art work in the gallery changes regularly, though it’s a bit hard to appreciate when other diners are in the way and stare back at you when you’re trying to glimpse at the art. There […] Read more…

There’s an entire page […] Read more…
I moved to Canberra in 2008, and to my horror discovered that there were NO bubble tea shops in the capital. Fast forward 11 years, there are now so many options that I can’t keep up. I want to note that Easy Way was the first bubble tea shop that I knew of to open […] Read more…
As I walk in the front door, I immediately notice the freshly made pasta available for purchase displayed behind glass at the front counter. Not knowing what to expect, my mood picks up and my expectations are raised. I’m greeted by the waiter (who I recognise from somewhere – probably another Italian dining establishment in […] Read more…
Super Bao started off as a food stall around the Canberra markets scene, and have now opened its own shop in Dickson. My foodie friends and I went to check it out one night. We spotted a mocktail carafe on the drinks menu, and ordered the strawberry fauxito carafe. Tasty but with all the ice, […] Read more…
La Baguette by R and M is a French bakery located in the School of Arts building at the Australian National University. It recently opened on Saturdays which is great news for the rest of Canberra that do not work near the ANU. French pastries, baguettes and tarts are baked on site every day. The […] Read more…
I’ve been to Lazy Su, a modern Asian eating house in Braddon, a few times now so I’m just going amalgamate it all here. The menu is split into small and large plates, raw dishes, salads, soups, rice dishes, and desserts. The first time I dined at Lazy Su, my friend and I ordered the […] Read more…
White Chaco introduces a Taiwanese/Japanese based menu to Lonsdale Street in Braddon. The eatery is small, only fitting about 20 – 25 people. Items on the menu include small bites such as Taiwanese popcorn chicken, dumplings and sashimi, with mains such as ramen, stew, curry and unagi. When I saw truffle ramen on the menu, […] Read more…
