Casey Jones Gastropub launch

Note: I was invited to dine as a guest of Casey Jones, however all opinions are my own. The media launch of Casey Jones was held last week in the new suburb of Casey in Gungahlin. Locals are going to love the new gastropub in the neighbourhood and I am a tad jealous. The new […] Read more…

Mud crab @ Jimmy’s Place

I am always reading about Tales of a Confectionist’s food trips to Jimmy’s Place in Dickson for mud crab. We finally got together with fellow foodies and our other halves for dinner on a Monday night.

As I walked up to the entrance, the large and heavy-looking glass sliding door was slid open by one of […] Read more…

It was such a beautiful sunny morning that we left the car at home and walked to the Manuka shops instead. We […] Read more…

Brunch @ Cafe 2 Twentyfour (Perth)

After seeing yummy looking instagram shots of Cafe 2 Twentyfour in Perth, Western Australia, I put this down as a list of places I should visit while I was there. My mum, sister and I headed there for brunch one morning. Even on a weekday morning, the cafe was nearly packed with only 2 spare […] Read more…
