As the year is nearly over, I thought I’d write up my Top 10 favourite eats of 2015. It’s been a big year with plenty of new eateries popping up. Below in descending order is a mix of oldies and newbies. Note: a lot of these don’t reopen until the New Year. 10. Locale One […] Read more…

Lunch @ Cisco’s Restaurante Mexicano

Some friends and I headed to Cisco’s Restaurante Mexicano in Kingston after walking past it a few weeks ago. Seeing as there aren’t may Mexican food options in Canberra, it was a must try for blogging purposes. We were there for Sunday lunch where there was only one other table of diners in the establishment. […] Read more…

Dinner @ Thip’s Thai

I caught up with some friends North-side for dinner. Having heard thatย Thip’s Thai in Belconnen was authentic, I was keen to try out it out. The restaurant is difficult to find if you don’t know where it is as there is no signage out on the street. It’s actually located upstairs in the Churches Centre […] Read more…

Cheap Chinese @ Orient Kitchen – Chinese Cuisine and BBQ

Orient Kitchen has been open at the Weston Creek shops for about a month now. There are so many restaurants in Weston Creek that I haven’t yet had the opportunity to dine at, but when I saw glazed roasted ducks hanging from the window at Orient Kitchen, I couldn’t resist going in and checking out […] Read more…

New menu @ Walt and Burley

A friend had her birthday lunch at Walt and Burley on the Kingston Foreshore. It had been a while since Iโ€™d dined here and I noticed a brand new menu. Since I wanted dessert, I decided to order the pulled confit duck salad ($28) as my main. The salad was really just rocket. A LOT […] Read more…

Lunch @ Porch and Parlour Bondi

My family recently visited the east coast for the first time. After showing them around Canberra, I took them to Sydney and we went to see the Sculptures by the Sea at Bondi. While in Bondi, I took the opportunity to go toย Porch and Parlour for lunch as Iโ€™ve had it on my list of […] Read more…
