My friend and I have heard good things about Hachiko in Belconnen, a Japanese fusion restaurant, so we made a lunch date to try it out. It’s a little difficult to find as the entrance is more towards the boardwalk and there isn’t any signage outside that day. In all honesty, it’s easier to choose […] Read more…
In case you hadn’t heard, the Tiger Lane dining precinct will bring 12 new hawker-style dining and bar outlets to Canberra Centre (expected by the end of the year). The Tiger Lane test kitchen opened a few weeks ago offering an $85 dinner set menu which I haven’t had the chance to try. But when […] Read more…
The popular Short Eats van opened a cafe in Woden a few months ago. I never got a chance to try the van (too far away from me) so I was excited to try the cafe. There’s much to choose from the menu. I pick the three house made curries with roti ($18). Two of […] Read more…
A few months ago, my friend and I had lunch at No. 9 Palace in Dickson. Previously Chic Gourmet, the same owners have rebranded it into No. 9 Palace to provide a more upmarket offering to the Dickson community. We start with some iced milk tea, mainly because it comes with these super cute teddy […] Read more…
It’s nearly mid-autumn (Northern hemisphere time) / moon cake festival time. (For info, here’s a previous post about what a moon cake is and a little bit more about the festival). Are you searching to buy some moon cakes too? Every year, I always get in too late and there’s nothing left. Unlike my parents, […] Read more…

Started by two Korean brothers from different mothers, Jayden and Derek are raising the bar of the traditional Japanese bento by combining modern Asian and Australian flavours. There are […] Read more…
Earlier in the year, my foodie friends and I celebrated Lunar New Year’s Eve at SoupStone. Located at the Australian National University near the bus station, it can be easy to walk past and miss it. When we arrive, the table is set up and ready with two high chairs, plastic cutlery, plates and cups […] Read more…
Since its shipping container days, the return of Miss Van’s has been highly anticipated. Now set up in Civic, the restaurant is difficult to get in to without a booking. I thought it was a good opportunity to book lunch here for my birthday earlier in the year. I like that the online booking form […] Read more…
Myanmar Corner at the Casey shops is a little gem of a restaurant. I’ve dined here only about 3 times as it’s located quite far from me – I wish it was closer! Let’s start with an entree. I love anything duck. So when I see shredded duck and onion puffs ($9 for three pieces) […] Read more…
As we navigate the new normal living with COVID, I’ve been trying to find eateries that aren’t packed with people inside. I’m happy to find that Sonamu Korean has plenty of dining spaces inside and out. Standing outside, it doesn’t look like a big space. However there are tables out the front, a front indoor […] Read more…
