I headed back to Ricardo’s about a month ago after hearing they had introduced self-injecting donuts to the menu. That day, they only had jam fillings but I was looking forward to it. Who doesn’t love a warm jam donut? This came out on a long thick wooden plank, with a warm sugar and cinnamon […] Read more…
Some friends and I wanted to try out Chatterbox in Belconnen and made it there one Saturday morning. There are bright yellow banners displayed outside so you can’t miss it. When I got there, all outdoor tables were taken. Must be a popular spot with the locals. I love the wall of potted plants inside […] Read more…
Feeling slightly peckish before heading to the movies at Westfield Belconnen, I spotted some sweet dumplings at Tasuke located on the ground floor just opposite Coles. All $2 each in their own box, I tried the tiramisu dumpling and Sakura rice dumpling. These are kind of similar to mochi with the use of sticky glutinous […] Read more…
I’ve dined at Ellacure a few times for dinner and have always been impressed with the food and service. This was my first time trying out their brunch menu so I was curious to see what it was like. We were greeted by our smiling waiter and taken to our table. Looking at the juices […] Read more…
Seasalt Dining is located underneath ‘The Hub’ apartments in Bruce (the next one over from Ellacure), and specialises in seafood and steak dishes. For dinner one night, I ordered the entree of seared scallops in a seaweed and miso soup ($14.90). This only took about 20 minutes to come out. 5 fat juicy scallops were […] Read more…

Decided to make a trip to the Westfield Belconnen shops today to try out Yogurtland – a new self serve yogurt shop with about 16+ different yogurts and various toppings. There was quite a queue when we got there. You basically grab a cup, fill it with as much yogurt as you want and add […] Read more…
Ricardo’s facebook page has been tantalisingly teasing me these last few weeks with the latest items on their menu. Introducing the cronut. What is a cronut? Described as a half croissant half donut filled with cream and glazed. Invented by Chef Dominique Ansel at his New York bakery and launched in May this year. The […] Read more…
I had to write a blog about Ricardo‘s Cafe. I visited this place about a year ago after hearing of Ricardo’s from several people for its cakes and pastries but since it’s located in Jamison, and therefore quite far from me, I’d just never had a reason to drive by and visit. I had a […] Read more…
