A Canberra foodie's adventures
For a friend’s hens afternoon, high tea had been organised at the Hyatt Hotel in Canberra. The high tea is served buffet style where you get to help yourself to the scrumptious looking delicacies and go back for seconds//thirds and more. Prices are $58 per person and includes a glass of sparkling wine. High tea […] Read more…
Dream Cuisine in Fyshwick expanded (earlier this year?) taking over the shop that was next door. This means there is a lot more space to sit down and enjoy the wonderful macarons, tarts and coffee that Dream Cuisine produces. Brunch was on hiatus for a few months (their chef had a skiing accident!). However, Saturday […] Read more…
Get ready for some major sweet dessert porn. The Italian Continental Bakery & Cafe in Mawson has been on my list of eateries to visit for years. I hear good things from work colleagues who make the short drive from the Woden town centre for a quick lunch, and other friends who’ve had some of […] Read more…
There are so many places I want to check out in the Perth food scene. Offering modern French cuisine, I picked Bistro Guillaume at the Crown Casino for dinner with a friend after looking at the menu and seeing a few pictures of the restaurant and, of course, the food. The original restaurant opened up […] Read more…
Croissant D’or finally opened today at Westfield Woden. I’ve been walking past anticipating its opening for the last few weeks as it was meant to open in September.

I was determined to try out the dessert train and patisserie at the Star during my trip to Sydney over the long weekend. My […] Read more…
4th Seed is a great new-ish cafe in the Queanbeyan CBD serving breakfast and lunch. I’d read a review that the French Toast was pretty good but was only available on weekends. So on a free Saturday morning, I headed over. They have a display cabinet of yummy treats like macarons, tarts, muffins, cakes and […] Read more…
I had to write a blog about Ricardo‘s Cafe. I visited this place about a year ago after hearing of Ricardo’s from several people for its cakes and pastries but since it’s located in Jamison, and therefore quite far from me, I’d just never had a reason to drive by and visit. I had a […] Read more…
After seeing Dream Cuisine Patisserie at their stall at the Kingston Bus Depot Markets, I went onto their website and found out they had a little shop in Fyshwick. Some free time on a Saturday morning lead me to drive to Fyshwick to check it out. The shop is pretty much located in the middle […] Read more…
