A Canberra foodie's adventures
Frozen yogurt store Noggi opened its second store at Westfield Woden today. There was a long queue, even at 2.30pm, for their buy one get one free opening day special. Flavours include original, watermelon, coconut, mango, blood orange and taro. I chose 2 flavours in a regular sized cup ($6.50) – the watermelon and blood […] Read more…
I’ve noticed that a new Asian restaurant Mr Wei’s has replaced The Hermitage on London Circuit (near the Canberra Theatre). A Canberra City News article states the owner retired in August and chef David Wei (formerly of Wild Duck in Kingston) is rebranding the restaurant. Prices are a bit more expensive than your average Asian […] Read more…

The 2 for 1 deal is only valid on select โsmall plateโ dishes, or tapas style dishes, in the bar/lounge/communal area. The space inside Soju […] Read more…

I headed back to C Dine Bar with some friends on a sunny Spring morning. I’d already tried out their $25 breakfast prefix menu a few weeks ago, but was keen to try it again. As it was such a beautiful day, we sat outside. The wooden benches were long and made comfortable with cushion […] Read more…
Thai Spice in Woden serves amazing curry puffs and decent Thai food. I come here quite regularly being so close to work. The pad thai chicken and prawns is my usual order. My work colleagues tell me it has changed ownership over the years and isn’t as good as it used to be. It still […] Read more…
Ricardo’s facebook page has been tantalisingly teasing me these last few weeks with the latest items on their menu. Introducing the cronut. What is a cronut? Described as a half croissant half donut filled with cream and glazed. Invented by Chef Dominique Ansel at his New York bakery and launched in May this year. The […] Read more…
