I love noodles so there was much excitement when the signage and menus went up for Biang Biang at the Canberra Centre. Some social media stalking led me to the Biang Biang Sydney […] 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 absolutely love dumplings so Li’s Dumpling Inn went to the top of my list of eateries to visit. On a Saturday, we drove over to check it out. The […] Read more…
