A Canberra foodie's adventures
The Mandalay Bus is open for business again! Located at the end of Lonsdale Street, at Haig Park, the double decker yellow bus is selling hot take away food (similar to Brodburger in its early days). I’ve been reading up on this place and it had previously been serving food to a variety of people […] Read more…
As I walk past the Kingston Foreshore, it’s exciting to see multiple shopfronts being fitted out for the new ventures about to open. A Canberra Times article lists all the new businesses, mostly restaurants, cafes and bars that are to open. I decided to do a bit more google-fu-ing into the bars that are opening […] Read more…
Farmers Daughter, a Yarralumla brunch spot, opened up a sister store in the Canberra Centre last week. Located under the escalators near Fitness First and Jamie’s Italian, the shop is quite small and only sells coffee, yummy looking pastries (macarons, tarts, croissants, pain au chocolat) and has a limited breakfast menu as there is no […] Read more…
I was shopping out at Majura Park and stopped to have a quick lunch. I noticed Frank and Beanz – a shop selling hot dogs, burritos, quesadillas, nachos and more. It claims to be a gourmet, healthy, fast food alternative. I ordered a classic – the beef burrito ($10.50) consisting of beef chilli con carne, […] Read more…
Heading into Canberra Centre, I noticed that Moochi frozen yogurt had opened up opposite Big W. This is the fourth froyo shop to open up in Canberra (that I know of) after Yogurtland, Noggi and Nominom. Prices seem a little cheaper than Yogurtland (I spent nearly $10) where yogurt is charged by weight. At Moochi, […] Read more…
One of my work Christmas partyโs was held at Delissio restaurant and bar in Curtin.ย Iโd been here on a few occasions previously (my partner adores their spicy fetta stuffed fried olives) and thought it was a relatively nice restaurant. A previous yearโs Christmas party was also held there and a banquet was chosen as […] Read more…
Cholo’s Peruvian Restaurant opened up in Dickson in July. It’s been on my list ever since and I finally got an opportunity to try it out last week. The restaurant is very colourful inside with bright red walls, Peruvian textiles, and pictures of Peru. The salsa and cha cha music playing inside immediately puts me […] Read more…
I caught up with a friend for dinner at Indian Grill in Greenway. It’s not on the main strip of restaurants but on the other side near Athllon Drive in its own mini business centre area. I didn’t think it was a great location, but then again, the Centrelink/Department of Human Services building is across […] Read more…
Hero Sushi recently opened up its sushi train in the Canberra Centre. Next to Papparich and near Jamie’s, the sushi train looks impressive. Hero Sushi also have shops in Woden and Tuggeranong just selling sushi rolls – I do like the sushi there. A friend and I went for dinner one week night. There is […] Read more…
I’ve walked through Green Square in Kingston the last couple of months wondering what would open up in the building being renovated there. I think quite a bit of work went into the building’s facade. After reading Canberra Time article, I was excited to read that Little Brooklyn would be a New York inspired bar […] Read more…
