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…
I wrote about Canberra’s Top 10 Dessert Destinations back in 2015 (wow time flies) and I thought it was about time for an update. There are so many new places, so here’s another 16 desserts to try! In no particular order… The Bite pretzels I first came across The Bite on Instagram where you could […] 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…
The old Kingston shops have been revitalised with the brand new massive Supabarn and new cafes at the Eyre Street Market. One of the cafes that opened a few months ago and I got excited about is the Japanese-inspired cafe Tokyo Canteen. On opening day, I walked in for an early breakfast. I missed out […] Read more…
Located on London Circuit, in the middle courtyard area opposite Two Before Ten, is new Sichuan restaurant Bashan. We stopped in for a quick lunch on what was one of the windiest days. There are limited cramped tables inside (and absolutely no room to fit a pram) so we had no choice but to sit […] 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…
Late last year, two friends and I booked into an afternoon high tea at Kynefin in Hall. This was my first time at Kynefin located on the corner of the main street. When I arrived, all the outdoor tables were full of people enjoying the warm Spring weather. The afternoon tea is $45 per person […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine at Monster Kitchen & Bar at no cost to try the new vegetarian menu, however all opinions are my own. Monster Kitchen & Bar recently announced it was going vegetarian. Complete vegetarian for 365 days. It’s a big move. Monster are planning to grow their own produce, do its […] Read more…
Working from home now means I can walk down to the Kingston Foreshore every now and then for lunch. Coconine Thai has a good lunch specials menu with prices between the $12-$16 mark. The laksa, with chicken or tofu, ($15) has three types noodles included – egg noodles, flat thick rice flour noodles, and crunchy […] Read more…
