Note: I was invited to dine in at Thai Eatery Mawson, however all opinions are my own. You’ll find Thai Eatery Mawson at the Mawson shops. There are just 5 tables inside so it really is a tiny spot. Our host greets us and brings out the dishes she want us to try. First up […] Read more…
Dookki is a chain restaurant offering all you can eat Tteokbokki Korean buffet. What is tteokbokki? It’s the Korean version of a rice cake and usually looks like the Italian penne pasta except solid and made of rice flour.

A couple of months ago, I had lunch up at Red Hill at Lunetta Trattoria (located on the ground floor). It’s a beautiful sunny day overlooking the views of Red Hill. We start off with the pumpkin arancini ($16 for 2 pieces) which has a solid golden crumb and wonderful roasted pumpkin flavour. The gnocco […] Read more…
All you can eat yumcha at Oh No in Manuka occurs on the first Sunday of each month (now $55 per person). My friend that made our booking received the yum cha menu via email a couple days before our lunch so they must change it up each time. I am very excited to see […] Read more…
I narrowed down my favourite eats of 2024 to a Top 6! Rosemary by Eightytwenty An outstanding dinner degustation in 2024 was at Rosemary by Eightytwenty starting off strong with focaccia, whipped ricotta and parsley oil (it doesn’t sound special but it is such a wow dish). I’m not sure if they will re-introduce this degustation but I’m […] Read more…
I used to love getting my coffees at Gus’ Place in the city so I’m really happy that sister café Good Neighbour opened in Kingston. With Gus’ staple items on the menu and a few new additions, Good Neighbour is proving to be a very popular destination. We’re talking 45min wait for coffees and food. […] Read more…
How exciting to have not one but two Matt Moran eateries open up in Canberra. Compa advertises itseld as an Italian steakhouse. I’m happy to see a short mocktail menu (at least there is one!). I try the Amaretti with hazelnut Lyre’s amaretti, lemon, bitters and foam ($16), and the Bittersweet with Lyre’s Italian spritz, […] Read more…

My friends and I try the $70 banquet from Lebanese restaurant Azima in Civic. There are plenty of tables inside and it’s quite spacious with a bar in the middle of the restaurant. We’re told all the food is served simultaneously, so there’s no staggering of dishes/courses. I start off with the Shia Zahra ($12) […] Read more…
I’ve been to Roy Jr a couple of times now. Located on the ground floor of an office building in the middle of the city, the café is spacious and seems to include a lobby area close to the elevators. I must admit I do feel like I’m banished from the main dining area each […] Read more…
