A Canberra foodie's adventures
I felt like sushi and have gone to Hero Sushi at Westfield Woden on a few occasions. It is located in an odd spot – next door to Price Attack near Coles. The shop has a nice open seating area and you can see the sushi chef slicing up fresh raw salmon on the kitchen […] Read more…
A friend and I headed to Jimmy’s Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant in the city on Friday night. It replaces Oishi inside the Garema Centre. I had the stir fried beef vermicelli with mixed salad and fish sauce ($14). The beef was delicious and cooked in a yummy slighty spicy sauce. Kind of like Thai beef salad […] Read more…
I finally got to try out one of Mork’s signature dishes on Saturday night. The Angel Prawns. I’d seen these back in their Florey location but they weren’t part of the tasting menu I was trying out, so I was eager to go back for them. At $24 for this entree of 6 prawns, it […] Read more…
I went to see Wil Anderson’s stand-up show at the Canberra Theatre one weeknight, and headed to Mr Wei’s for a pre-show dinner with some friends. As mentioned in a previous post, Mr Wei’s is headed by chef David Wei, formerly of Wild Duck in Kingston. As it is in such close proximity to the […] Read more…
I caught up with a friend for dinner at Delhi 6 in Acton one weeknight. I’ve walked past this place on numerous occasions so I was keen on trying it out. I ordered the deluxe non vegetarian thali ($23.90) because it provides a little bit of everything. What the menu doesn’t indicate is that you […] Read more…
Morks has opened its doors at the Kingston Foreshore. Luckily it looks like a much bigger space than their previous Florey spot. Located next door to C Dine Bar, there is outdoor dining available too. There are four items on their weekend brunch menu such as congee, and poached eggs with a Thai twist. Brunch […] Read more…
It’s moon cake season! What is a moon cake you ask? They are small usually round sweet cakes traditionally filled with either lotus seed paste, red bean paste, mung bean paste, and/or an egg yolk. Moon cakes are only eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival – a huge celebration in China (made a public holiday), Hong […] 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…
Soju Girlis a modern Asian fusion restaurant that I have been meaning to check out for while now. When better to try it out than on 2 for 1 Tuesdays! The 2 for 1 deal is only valid on select ‘small plate’ dishes, or tapas style dishes, in the bar/lounge/communal area. The space inside Soju […] Read more…
I caught up with some friends at Kagawa Japanese Cuisine in Dickson. This is another restaurant I always pass but never have the opportunity to try. There is moderate seating capacity inside. The menu is bright and colourful, and completely packed with pictures of each dish on both sides. So much to choose from! To […] Read more…
