A Canberra foodie's adventures
Located in Grazier Lane in Belconnen, you can find Japanese restaurant Ikko. There are plenty of tables inside and QR codes on each table for easy ordering and payment. I try the curry yaki udon ($22) because 1) I love Japanese curry, and 2), it looks so different to others I’ve tried. The medium-sized low […] Read more…
My favourite pizza spot Pizza Artigiana at the Jamison shops are now open for breakfast. The team uses Italian coffee brand Illy – interesting fact, all Illy coffee is sealed in a patented can where it’s air-free, so when you open it, it’s as fresh as it was when first packed! The dish that catches […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine in at Indian Dining Club however all opinions are my own. Indian Dining Club is located in Belconnen, right on the water’s edge with outdoor tables on the deck so I can imagine nice summery evenings with delicious food. There’s an elegance to the décor with plush carpet, comfy […] Read more…
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…
My friends first informed me of the now hugely popular Ramen O in Belconnen. The catch is that Ramen O is only open Monday to Friday for lunch and dinner, and only for a couple of hours before it sells out. I remember their first Friday night of trade, multiple friends tried to get in […] Read more…
My friends and I had dinner at the Dumpling Inn in Macquarie. I was first introduced to it about 4 years ago (by the same group!) but never got around to writing about it. I remember a dish of pork mince stuffed into fried pockets and requested we order this again. This is the tasty […] Read more…
I moved to Canberra in 2008, and to my horror discovered that there were NO bubble tea shops in the capital. Fast forward 11 years, there are now so many options that I can’t keep up. I want to note that Easy Way was the first bubble tea shop that I knew of to open […] Read more…
Raijin Japanese Cuisine opened up at the McKellar shops last year. I dined in for dinner with Mr FPJ, V and her hubby one weeknight and we were lucky enough to snag a table for four. The extensive menu covers classic Japanese entrees like gyoza and takoyaki, tempura goodies, salads, sashimi, sushi rolls, yaki udon, […] Read more…
Some friends and I met up to try the ribs at Mills and Grills in Florey. The store is mainly a take away joint but does have two small tables inside. The two types of ribs available are either pork or lamb and smothered in a smokey BBQ sauce and char-grilled. As we were in […] Read more…
Stanley’s is a relatively new family friendly pub located in Bruce (replacing what was Ellacure) with beers on tap and regularly changing specials. My friends and I headed there for Saturday lunch (with no reservation). About 70% of the tables were reserved however there were a few small tables available. The space inside is quite […] Read more…
