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…
Note: I was invited to try out the new bingsu range, however all opinions are my own. Super Emoji is known for its bubble teas and iced drinks, mini cake boxes, souffle and various filled choux pastries. There’s a lot more on offer at the City Walk megastore. Late last year, Super Emoji introduced its […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine in at Zhangliang Malatang, however all opinions are my own. I always walked past Zhangliang Malatang in Acton but never had a chance to dine in, so I was eager to try it out when I received an invite from them. We’re lucky we got there early-ish, around 12 […] Read more…
Some months ago, Mr FPJ and I had a lovely dinner banquet at Chairman & Yip. The dinner included sushi from a new sushi chef which we thought was a little odd given we were in a Chinese restaurant. Our waiter informed us that the Chairman Group were opening up a new Japanese restaurant in […] Read more…
We recently tried yum cha at Quan’s Kitchen, located at the Kippax shops. I’ve been meaning to try it out for years but it’s quite far for us to travel. Located just a few doors down from Bunny Beans, yum cha is available daily at lunch time. There are no trolleys but the yum cha […] Read more…
Around the corner near Dickson’s Share Tea, is small family-owned restaurant Flavours of Jiangnan. The owners speak Mandarin plus another dialect that I don’t understand (I should ask what it is). What I love about this place is the handmade thick flat white hand-pulled noodles. There’s actually so much to choose from the menu – […] Read more…
I’ve never gotten around to blogging about Malaysian restaurant Madam Lu, but have dined there multiple times. So here it is. There’s a two-page lunch specials menu available Monday to Friday with dishes starting at the $10.50 mark for various noodles, rice dishes, nasi goreng and more. The specials used to be available on weekends […] Read more…
Located on Bradley Street outside Westfield Woden, is Dumpling Social. It’s a slightly more upmarket dumpling joint with a pretty cool fit out including bar. I can never walk past a restaurant that has someone hand making dumplings at the front window. Note my first time dining here was some months ago. I always try […] Read more…
Asian Taste is a Malaysian restaurant at the Mawson shops. There’s been a bit of chatter and excitement about it, so I couldn’t wait to try it out myself. Mr FPJ, bub and I headed in for lunch one weekday. The restaurant is tiny, only fitting 3 tables inside with 4 tables outside. It was […] Read more…
Dumpling King at Garema Place in Civic specialises in handcrafted dumplings and hand-pulled noodles which I cannot resist. Xiao long bao ($8.80 for 6 pieces) is on the menu so of course we had to try that. These actually aren’t too bad with a thin dumpling skin and good portion of mince and soup. Not […] Read more…
