A Canberra foodie's adventures
I was sitting down and watching Masterchef on TV when I noticed that from Gelato Messina was on the show. I’ve made two trips to Gelato Messina and realised I haven’t actually done a write up of it, so here it is 🙂 I discovered Gelato Messina last year after doing some research on the […] Read more…
One of my friends was having her hens night in Sydney. I never get to go to Sydney often, so I couldn’t wait to plot my foodie weekend. First stop after checking into the hotel was one of my favourites – Din Tai Fung at World Square. I hadn’t been back there for about a […] Read more…
I was excited to head to the Taste of Sydney Festival held at Centennial Park over the weekend of 13-16 March 2014. Dubbed ‘the world’s greatest restaurant festival’, Taste of Sydney showcases 15 of Sydney’s hottest and latest restaurants that provide 4 tasting dishes each. There are also over 100 artisan producers (wine, cheese, beer, […] Read more…
I usually head to Din Tai Fung whenever I’m in Sydney for their dumplings, particularly the xiao long bao, but a friend mentioned she goes to another dumpling place that’s cheaper and better. I’m always up for trying new (and cheaper) places so I was happy to go along. We headed to World Square’s Taste […] Read more…
During a weekend stay in Sydney, I got to visit Kylie Kwong’s Surry Hills restaurant Billy Kwong with some friends. The restaurant takes 6pm or 8pm bookings, and those in the 6pm slot need to be out by 8pm. The restaurant rang us earlier in the day to confirm our booking and were advised that […] Read more…
During my weekend in Sydney, I was strolling through Potts Point in the morning when I noticed a rather busy cafe on Challis Street with outdoor diners enjoying the sunshine. La Buvette is also rated quite highly on Urbanspoon so I decided to pop in for breakfast the following morning. We scored a table outside […] Read more…
I was in Sydney over the long weekend for the International Fleet Review. A few of us stayed in Potts Point which has quite a few funky cafes and restaurants. We asked reception for an idea of some good restaurants within walking distance to our hotel. Cafe Sopra at Fratelli Fresh (just above Woolworths) was […] Read more…
I’d been wanting to try out Adriano Zumbo’s patisserie for nearly 2 years, but since no one else I know likes desserts and sweets, there was never an opportunity to go. 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…
Warning: this post is photo heavy. When my friends and I arrived at the Grounds of Alexandria at 10.30am on a Sunday morning, it was jam packed with people. We were told that the wait for a table would be over an hour. After hearing and reading good reviews of this place, we were willing […] Read more…
I don’t get to go to Sydney often (even though its less than a 3hr drive from Canberra), but when I do, I make sure I try out a different restaurant/cafe. This time, I decided to head to Ippudo for some ramen. Some friends had mentioned this was one of the best places to eat […] Read more…
